Better nutrition and education = Better IQ
It's not rocket science

Judging by the Primitive Technology series on youtube, Australia.

You forgot to mention the part where they filled bombs full of fleas infected with the plague and dropped it on major Chinese cities

Deals are made all the time. And his german counterpart Mengele escaped justice as well. It sucks, but sometimes the bad guys get away.

The famine was natural, but actions of the Communists made it worse. Ukraine wasn't the only place affected by it.

By modern standards it definitely was a genocide, as for example Europeans unknowingly spreading disease to the americas is considered one.

>>3380069
>Ukrainian famine
This alone is part of the propaganda. It wasn't "Ukrainian" famine because other areas were also affected. Yes, most people who died were Ukrainians, but that's largely because there were a lot more Ukrainians than Kazakhs. Kazakhstan lost 1/3 of its population during the famine.

It whorships some Ethiopian or something king (Hailé Selassié if I remember) and weed.

>>3380063
Duuuude Weeeeed. Hahahaha XD

Basically, the penultimate king of Ethiopia was the reincarnation of Jesus, but he got deposed or something, so he has to come back again and all the Black people are the real Jews, while the non Whites are Babylon.

The hindus had their holy Soma that they valued highly. "Soma is greater than Shiva, greater than Brahma"
It was undoubtedly a psychoactive preparation. It was however kept so secret that the recipe was forgotten. There has been much speculation about components.
For me the most convincing interpretation is that is was an ayahuasca analogue, using Peganum harmala (syrian rue, harmala, esfand) as a source of MAO inhibitors and a species of Acacia for the DMT.
There seems to be a linguistic connection: Soma --> Hamoa --> Harmala

The hindu pantheon looks like its pulled straight out of an DMT trip and it is not uncommon for users today to encounter a hindu entity.

Harmala is still used in the middle east as protective incense and by some mystic sects to aid in achieving gnostic states.

No, because fascism was born out of rejection of liberalism. If liberalism doesn't come into existence then neither can its reaction.

>>3379100
Yes, fascism was first formulated in the Roman Empire.
The only arguments against this are circular, i.e. "Fascism is explicitlyagainst liberalism and communism which didn't exist" which is fucking retarded in the extreme.

>>3379100
Maybe, modern fascism was triggered as a hostile response to outside forces while acting as a "civil unifier", it's unsure if it really mattered if said outside forces were liberal or not. One one hand you could say the existence of USSR argues against it, while the fact that the west allowed fascism to be a thing to begin with argues for it.

It's great for people who aren't interested in history, he makes stuff interesting and shows why it's relevant so people see a reason to do actual research. Obviously just listening to a Hardcore History series doesn't make you competent on the subject, but it's a fun introduction.

Anglo-Saxon England before the Norman conquests was actually closer to Saxon south and Anglo-Danish north-east England. The north-east and more Anglo areas fell under Danish rule for decades and saw lots of Danish settlement. The southern England under Alfred the Great managed to remain independent and conquer the now Anglo-Danish regions to the north.

The last "Anglo-Saxon" king Harold Godwinson was in fact an Anglo-Saxon-Dane. He and his family were huge Danish sympathisers, Harold himself was half Danish. If his Danish name "Harold" wasn't a big hint his mothers name was Gytha Thorkelsdottir.

Because the Earls in England controlled such large areas of land, especially in the north they were often troublesome and generally left to their own devices as long as they accepted southern rule.

England's legal and tax systems were apparently first class in western europe. They kept records of everything well which hints to higer literacy rates.

You're right by the time of Hastings the English had stopped using the migration period gear which consisted of seaxes and spears and much smaller round shields. Over time their shields became larger and they stopped using the seax and replaced it with swords and more spears becoming popular. With the Danish influence they are recorded to begin using the large two handed Dane Axe and the second last King Edward was very Norman friendly and so they also started adopting the use of the Norman kite shields.

Many huscarls at hastings at Hastings were using kite shields (pic related) and you can also see the use of the Dane axe.

That's pretty cool man, thanks for the info. Do you happen to have any recommendations on reading about the subject or time period in general?

They used the Dane Axe from the very beginning because they they were originally from Denmark anyway.

No they didn't. VC would often refuse to take early M16 models.

Let me guess another libtard that hates our military? Listen libshit, we had to fight those commie scum so leftists like you wouldn't try to attack and put down America. How dare you insult our military!

The Vietnamese victory in Vietnam is probably the one thing that keeps some quantity of romanticism in me. They were totally outclassed in terms of resources and technology but still won because they were a unified force fighting for their country instead of us burgers who were fighting for some imperceptible geopolitical advantage.
