Why is the Korean War forgotten?
because you have not remembered it enough
Because Vietnam memery overtook the media in the 70s.
Literally by forgotten you imply it doesn't have much of media presence. There's MASH and that's it.
>>1537948
I thought MASH took place in Vietnam
what the fuck
Anybody got cool pictures of Red Scare/Cold War propaganda posters from both sides?
>>1537826
I have a lot, don't know where to upload them, though.
>>1537863
Just upload the really good ones. You could make a Facebook or Instagram dedicated to these types of pictures.
What does /his/ think of Young Earth Creationists?
>>1537774
The Bible never explicitly said 6000 years.
I think discussion of earth's natural history should belong in /sci/, unless you admit that you're talking about mythical stories. In which case, enjoy your stay in /humanities/.
>>1537786
>natural history
>history
Are there any historical equivalents to /r9k/? I don't just mean communities of people who just didn't fit in, but ones that actually rejected fitting in, who would cast aspersions on people who were too "normal". I can't really imagine something like that existing without the internet, but on the other hand, all the internet is is a medium, and that those people must have existed in the past.
Most religions have looked down on "worldly" people
Medieval monasteries were the closest things desu

Diogenes? He might have been the worlds first robot
How the fuck do I stop seeing and conecting everything to politics?
>>1537721
Take a break from thinking and talking about politics. Focus on other stuff
>>1537721
I wish I knew because I fucking hate people who make everything about politics, but almost everything does have some connection to politics so it's actually a valid way to approach things. The only advice I can maybe give is to realize how small an influence you have on the politics of your country and that you would be better off devoting your brainpower to other things.
>>1537721
Wait. Once this election cycle winds down, politics will only take up about 80% of your social media instead of 99%
If morality is a spook then why should I not have a daughter, lock her in a windowless room then cut off her arms and legs and skull fuck her with my shit-covered dick everyday until she dies?
>>1537696
Because said daughter probably wouldn't enjoy this very much.
>>1537696
Seeing as this would not violate the NAP, you would be in the right by doing such as a thing. Go ahead if you want to.
Was la independencia of latin america a mistake?
What could have been done to keep the central american federation, gran colombia, peruvian-bolivian confederation alive? Were they meant to come apart regardless?
Was Bolívar the greatest hero or the one that fucked up the most? Perhaps both
Are you retarded? The Peru Bolivia confederation ended because Chile and Argentine invaded. Before that there weren't any signs of it failing.
>>1537694
>la independencia
>la
that stereotype article
anyway, these confederations maybe could survive if they had a major group with the economic power to keep these countries bonded, like happened in the argentine confederation.
>>1537694
Independence was absolutely not a mistake because the Spaniards were already in stage 4 cultural cancer at that point.
A lot of mistakes were made afterwards, notably those stupid wars between the southern cone and the middle bulge, but those conflicts were not inevitable.
Anyone have a link to the theory there was man somewhere in the Asian area who is responsible for almost all, if not a huge part of our DNA.
Not Ghengis Khan, this man was thought to be a fisherman who lived in a port somewhere in Taiwan, if I remember correctly anyway.
I am pretty sure it was a pop-science article but I read it years ago and has been on my mind ever since.
>>1537687
there's one man from the middle east from 4,000 years ago or something that 99.9% every person is related to, there is also a woman from like 6,000 years ago that almost everyone is related too as well
>>1537706
>there's one man from the middle east from 4,000 years ago or something that 99.9% every person is related to, there is also a woman from like 6,000 years ago that almost everyone is related too as well
Is there anything you can give to back this up for me? Forgive my ignorance.
I've also read theories at one stage in human development (during the last ice age) human kind was cut down to one singular cave, somewhere in Russia (I think) and one singular tribe.

Found this in my book. Wondering what it means.
>>1537671
Are you reading some early Tolkien?
I am not. It's in the front pages of a book called the magician's companion. I thought the letters in the middle were hebrew. They were not. So I don't even know what language it is.
>>1537686
>magician's companion
THat's the most retarded thing I have ever heard of.
You should probably kill yourself. May as well read this.
Was he right?
>>1537550
About what? I only know him as that more friendly communist who got killed by Stalin. He's like the Bernie Sanders of 20th century Russia.
>>1537560
> Trotsky
> more friendly
Trotsky was ardent supporter of permanent "world revolution" idea, as in all world governments are to be toppled and replaced with eventual and inevitable Soviet Union of Earth
Stalin saw it as impossible and introduced "socialism in one country"
>>1537586
Huh. So is that why communists always wank over Trotskey? Because of le revolution meme.
Will nihilism be our downfall? Are we suited to be so aware of not only ourselves, but also the world around us? Will our spectacular awareness, unique in the fauna of this planet, ultimately be rejected by natural selection?
Are we seriously tempted by immortality, or is that just what we think we want? Will our technology go so far as to turn us into living but apathetic blobs, for centuries immortals, but then suicidal?
>>1537514
>Will nihilism be our downfall?
You don't understand it's ideal. Nihilism is a tool to stress test your ideologies. If it passes the nihilistic test then your ideology is sound.
Why the fuck do you retards think it's all about everything being pointless, use your brain, not just your eyes.
>>1537525
Do you have some example of ideologies that pass the nihilism test, and why are they passing it?
>>1537535
>Do you have some example of ideologies that pass the nihilism test, and why are they passing it?
That's totally subjective to you. You have to search for the answers yourself, giving up is not nihilism, it's a tool to better yourself and pick out which really matters to you.
Could Penal/Punishment battalions work like they did back in World War 2, or when the French had them in the 19th century? Why get rid of soldiers with their silly convictions when they still have use to serving the country? Hitler's infamous 36th Waffen Grenadier Division was made up of poachers with plenty of marksmenship early on, and hell although when in desperation they used bigger criminals they still had no problem brutally defeating the enemy.
>>1537442
Yeah.
Taking criminals and intentionally giving them military training and guns is generally a retarded idea. The Nazis tried it at least once, however, mostly out of desperation....with horrifying results.
>>1537442
Well we needed penal batallions back then because we needed the manpower, whereas in modern war manpower is almost irrelevant. A single pimple faced retard remotely controlling a Predator drone can do more damage than entire batallions from the 1850s.
>>1537442
>We have a organization that relies on strict discipline and Service
>members of this organization have acces too weapons and other danger ins stuff

Pedal battalions consisting of soldiers who otherwise would be shot can be useful though.
Redpill me on the famine that occurred in Madras India under British rule in the 1800s.
Read about it yourself and get back to us instead.
A mishandling of logistics and the result of poor communication. The British saw the Indians as human beings.
>>1538996
Are they not? Why don't you see the Indians as human beings?
Is Alexander the Great the greatest European of all time?
He was the first white guy to conquer foreign bitches and exert white male superiority to the world.
He's one of my heroes
Persians were white though?
>>1537486
This. Greeks even noted that the Persians were whiter than them.
