How about you add a few dots to the map, where you think they should exist, with of course some clarification of why you think the should exist.

How can we actually know how people thought and acted in everyday life hundreds of years ago? We know all about the practical side, but all we have as a proof of their psychical side (peasants and royalty alike) is from intentionally flattering chronicles written in most educated and florid language.
How can we ever be sure that the description in those chronicles is how the peasants/kings actually spoke, and that is what they actually did and acted like?

Global free trade made that type of imperialism largely obsolete and it was probably not that profitable either way. What's the point of conquering shit on the other side o the globe when you can have their resources and populations delivered to your doorstep without firing a shot?

I mean I'd argue some places were bound to become decolonized eventually. India especially was coming to a simmering point, and if the Brits didn't let out when they did, there would be even more violent rebellion. India as a whole was a mess, and it was quickly becoming more of a nuisance rather than an investment. Maybe if they had played their cards correctly before-hand it would've lasted longer. As for Italy, losing a World War doesn't help.

Do you agree with this author that black culture's history conditioned them to make high quality memes?
http://reallifemag.com/poor-meme-rich-meme/
Do other cultures produce their own specific memes? To what extent is this production fostered by the culture's history?

Blacks have a huge amount of cultural capital. If cultural Marxism were an actual thing, it would be black people pulling all the strings, just like it was the Jews. Ironically, the, for lack of a better word, "alt-right" people I know, I'm not certain they browse /pol/, but the edgy Trump supporters, seem to all love black music, which I personally can't stand.

Why do normalshits want to impose collectivism and mandatory "networking" in all aspects of society? Nowadays, never having had social media accounts such as goybook makes you a social pariah. The de facto 24 hour monitoring of all private speech by public scrutiny on social media sites leads peoples to self-censure. Children who grow up not knowing of a time before Twitter and Facebook will have an even more disgusting, collectivist, ant-like mentality than the millennials.

Anyone know why shields never a huge part of Japanese warfare unlike other countries? I always found it kind of weird especially since pole arms were so prominent.
Also tell me more about Kofun and Asuka period please. Any good sauce?

Pic is somewhat anachronistic. The main charge was launched at like 5 in the morning, in near total darkness, which was one of the main reasons the Italians were able to get close enough to be effective.
>>
>>1475935
how did they do this. Like... why werent they all blown to smitherenes by Soviet artillery?
>>
>>1475959
I haven't studied the battle in depth, but at an educated guess:
Soviet command and control was pretty bad, throughout pretty much all the war prior to 1944. They had great guns, they had some pretty good gunners, but actually getting their people to know where to shoot often had to be decided at the divisional HQ level.
So it's 5 in the morning, and something's going wrong, and whomever was in charge of the position was probably phoning HQ, saying he needed help, and them trying to get a set of coordinates as to where to direct the barrage, whcih you only have a guess at because the fighting is fluid and because it's in the pre-dawn and you can't see shit. So if the request for support is even approved, the gunfire is probably raining down all over the place and not where you actually need it.
