Nah. It all went to shit since 1895.

Itt failed forced memes?

>>1456888
Sure, if you call around a million speakers and a thousand native speakers 'failed'. That's more total speakers than Icelandic! That means that when Páll Óskar recorded Gordjöss in Esperanto (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OkQA3G-lwA) there are more people who can understand that version than can understand the original.

>>1456942
Yes, I call that a failure for a language that was supposed to be the global language

Million is literally nothing
Six or seven times that speak Finnish

Every historical Communist.

Keep trying the same thing over and over again even though it's clearly not working.

For me it's Nietzsche - nihilistic, nihilistic and nihilistic

For me it's Plato- stupid, essentialistic and with no sense of humour

Don't forget the god awful leaders who were autists

>>1456764
/gsg/ memes aside, what made him autist?

I'm pretty sure Diocletian and Basil II were somewhere on the spectrum.

>>1456725
Because he had control of the military. USA was busy in Vietnam, UK was busy finding more colonies to lose.

>>1456795
but they had bases in tripoli and even one american had held gaddafi at gun point and could've killed him but they retreated..
I mean they were just 70 men

You don't just intervene in a coup, it will just make the situation worse and more bloody.

The US didn't intervene in Turkey last week either.

>What were they doing in 1992 that prevented them from stopping the Serbs going apeshit?
minding their own fucking business is what. was there gold in yugoslavia? was there oil in yugoslavia? was yugoslavia strategically important? no, so fuck'm. it's great to have a police force but if western society is wholly uneffected one way or another, it's just not their jurisdiction. now, once the stories and documented incidents of war crimes and genocide began to stink something had to be done as per our collective obligations to international law.

Russophilia coupled with seeing Eastern Europeans as subhuman.

The public of industrialized countries believes that a drop of their own blood is worth more than an ocean of anyone else's.

They are, of course, right.

Oh, and Europeans are pussies who can't do a fucking thing on their own.

Actually Xenophanes was a monotheist before it was cool:
> One god greatest among gods and men,
> Resembling mortals neither in body nor in thought.
> … whole [he] sees, whole [he] thinks, and whole [he] hears,
> but completely without toil he agitates all things by the thought of his mind.
> … always he remains in the same (state), agitated not at all,
> nor is it fitting that he come and go to different places at different times.

N Irishman here, not sure if you got any replies on /pol/ but I'll give some insight and answer your questions as best I can
>bad blood
Yes, the communities are normally self segregated, with mixed communities normally being middle class, wealthier areas where they simply don't bother caring.
I know a couple of Protestants (I'm Catholic) and they're nice people, but I could never hang around in a group with them, I simply don't belong there.
Likewise I tend to avoid walking through Protestant areas because our communities are so tight knit, they'll know I'm a Catholic because I'm a stranger, and I could be jumped.
>is peace going to hold
If by peace you mean no significant warfare then yes. However the two communities are still at odds, there plenty of programmes to bring them together and while most people don't care enough to resort to violence anymore, there is still quite a sizeable portion of our population that will harass you if you're in the wrong area
>why did they vote stay for brexit
Northern Ireland now has a Catholic majority thanks to the well known phenomenon of irish birthrates. The Irish Catholics voted stay (I did not) because the Protestants voted leave, that is the kind of political atmosphere we have here. If one side those X then the other must do the opposite, or else you're one of them.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have

>>1456547
Actually, NI as a whole isn't Catholic majority (yet). Only the counties Antrim and Down still have Protestant majorities though.

>>1456547
No replies from /pol/, so thanks for your answers, I really appreciate it.

I was wondering what role religion plays there anymore. I was reading a book by Derbyshire that mentioned that Church attendance (which used to be really high, apparently) has really gone down all across Ireland; I am guessing it means the same thing for North Ireland, too.

For entertainment.

...Wait, do people actually take it seriously?

people can shit and praise whatever religion they want but in my opinion Christianity is the biggest meme ever made.

You could take it seriously, but probably not literally

it is a pretty cool flag desu

Is there any account out there that they were forcefully converted to Islam, and not coerced into conversion for benefits?

From what I gathered (I haven't looked much into Albanian history, mind you) most Christians left after the Ottoman take-over, and Albania was used as a strategic admin site by the Ottomans in the Balkans because of it's ports and favorable sailing currents it had access to that made it easier for sailing towards Italy or along the Northern Adriatic coast. Because of that, a lot of Turks were allocated there for administrative purposes and managed to grow significantly enough to be a large part of their population and have their own off-set beliefs, that differed from the Ottomans and were used to push for independence later on, that were too significant and ingrained in for the rest of the Albanians to kick them out and condemn them during their rebellion.

That, and I imagine that it was easy to convert them seeing how by the time the Ottomans rolled around a lot of Albania was occupied by a largely vagabond people (Slavs) and never really had the literary culture or worldly influence like Greece had to aspire them to uphold their past traditions and resist to subjugation, that made them easy to influence them.

> Are Albanians retarded?
yes
