Did sub saharan africans have pre colombus contact with the americas?
That's the dumbest looking face i've ever seen
No. It's been proven wrong by historians. Afrocentrism is retarded. These "theories" claim dumb shit like the Olmecs collosal head were facing west in remembrance of their homeland, when really they were facing east.
Probably not.
You gotta know the trade winds pretty well and have the ability to sail upwind.
Its not the biggest religion/s around. But there are enough followers (even if you don't count ass those prison gang skinheads) for me to say it has made a comeback. And there is an actual Norse temple built in Iceland.
So, who is next? Worship of the Greek Gods? That has something of an underground following in Greece right now. Hope that gets bigger.
>In May 2006 an Athens court granted official recognition to the veneration of the Ancient Greek pantheon. Referring to the ruling, Father Eustathios Kollas, who presides over a community of Greek Orthodox priests, said: "They are a handful of miserable resuscitators of a degenerate dead religion who wish to return to the monstrous dark delusions of the past."[49]

> "My parents didn't impose a religious view on me, they're open-minded and tolerant and wouldn't DARE indoctrinate a child!"
It's impossible to not impose a certain religious or political view on your child. Even a taught absence of interest promotes a particular agenda. You're indoctrinating your children no matter what you teach them; indoctrination is equivalent to education.
This is a dishonest argument used by seditionists who have a vested interest in wearing away a particular culture and want to veil their dishonest goals behind a veil of liberty. Any value set is passed on by immersion, and even if you genuinely believe that children should have that freedom, that's indoctrinating them in that worldview.
>>1480318
yes, ideology is spooky
What's the point of this thread?
>>1480318
Added to that, even if you don't directly teach any ideology to your child(ren), they're still going to glean one or two political/philosophical stances from you. It is LITERALLY impossible to raise a child without ANY form of indoctrination, in one way or another, without tossing it into the woods.
What does /his/ think of coroner's inquests?
It's an Anglo law thing where a jury of 6 people and a coroner determine the cause of death of an individual and then make policy recommendations.
Example, in my province in Canada there was recently a coroner's inquest which recommended all cellphone use including hands free should be banned while driving
A past one was one which recommended smoking be banned from public buildings
Et. Al
ITT: we discuss coroner's inquests
Interesting idea but it seems to me that a jury witnessing the body would encourage bias
>>1479159
They don't see the body they only read the coroner's report and hear the coroner speak
It's almost like the coroner's determination of cause of death is on trial

How does magick work? I can understand eastern stuff pretty well but I don't understand what it's supposed to do and what it actually is.
Especially since it seems so vital to western occultism.

Magic is a science of human interiority. Its the manipulation of the deep principles of the Self. For example, a novice is able to detach himself from his thought patterns to the extent his thoughts a kind of solidity or "substance" of their own because they are recognized as fundamentally separate from the spirit. With this in mind, a novice can directly banish thoughts/emotions he rejects through the use of certain techniques. This would be a "magical" technique and one I have experienced for myself with great success.
When and why did diversity become a value unto itself?
Any answers including the word "Jew" will be disregarded
Capitalism demands an unstable, divided work-force to maximise profits.
Cultures with the attitude that they know everything already will stagnate.
The defeat of the Nazis caused a backlash against everything they stood for, including and especially ethnonationalism.
If we'd fought and won a war with the USSR then our culture would probably be largely opposed to egalitarianism and progressivism.

American culture is, though
Why do Nordicists, Afrocentrists and other similar groups think comparing ancient statues to modern people and descriptions from old epics and stories beats genetic studies when trying to decide the ethnicity of ancient people?
Because they're stupid and inherently full of confirmation bias
It's how plebeians can into history.
But seriously Rome was extremely diverse, even in modern Italy you have light-skinned people living next to sandniggerish types.
No one, not even the most nationalist white believes greeks or roman were Nordic. Calling them mediterranian might be more correct, and mediterranian while still not being Nordic or Hitler's wet dream still falls under white. As for the egyptians, at one point they were ruled by greeks and at another by nubians. Only some stupid idiots believe they were just as black as the common sub-saharan nigger.
Are philosophers no more than pseudointellectuals?
Philosophers are too stupid for mathematics and science, that's why they opt to babble about whatever that's popular and play with words to gain attention. They are only intellectual frauds who contribute nothing to humanity.
If you call yourself a philosopher, I'll mock you.

>Are philosophers no more than pseudointellectuals?
Take a look at r/philosophy, you know it to be true
>Are philosophers no more than pseudointellectuals?
No
>Philosophers are too stupid for mathematics and science, that's why they opt to babble about whatever that's popular and play with words to gain attention. They are only intellectual frauds who contribute nothing to humanity.
These assertions are untrue and without merit.
They also fail both the evidence and reasoning tests for a valuable argument.

Were the ancient egyptians black?
No. This is a myth created by American blacks to delude themselves into thinking that their race was capable of rule and self-government at one point.

Is it true that west is rich because we stole all of wealth from an other countries? I arguing with my friends about this, but they think that there is no other reason for the west to be so rich and I can't name one that wouldn't be outdated meme like a free markets, protestant ethics and shit like that.

Colonization of the New World did propel the West above the rest circa ~1500, but it's not like Africa and the Americas were looted bare or anything. As Diamond posters will suggest, albeit poorly, the historical competitors to the West in Asia have been limited chiefly by geography. If Europe was populated by Chinese and China by Europeans our current economic circumstances would almost certainly turn out the same way.
