I thought /his/ would appreciate this.
>>1454951
historians are cucks to the machine
they dont deserve a day
>>1454955
Basically this, historians are the reason I didn't major in history.
Discuss about the greatest civilization in the history of mankind .
Sweden's pretty awesome I agree.
>>1454908
That isn't a Roman structure though...
>>1454915
although it is the same architectural design as the original, that bridge has been rebuilt more times than michael jackson cheekbones. the original construction is long gone.
What was the Soviet Union equivalent of the Nazi SS?
NKVD
>>1454754
These guys
I'm wondering
Who was more asshole with the ethnic poles, the SS or the NKVD?
Is there some kind of anti-agression agreement between communist and alt rightist to shitpost this board to death with politics?
Don't you people feel like ass holes for ruining this board?
We live in one of the most politicised times in human history where most people feel they have to latch on to some political identity otherwise they feel worthless and empty.
These fuckers absolutely incapable of reviewing and reading history without them a) scrutinising every word so it fits their political narrative or b) discrediting it or its author because it emotionally upsets them.
I don't think we're going to get them off this board.
I must expose the judeo-capitalists
>>1454747
It's would be kinda ok if they just argued past each other like they usually do.
But now they actively try derailing threads by posting mindless b8 on every topic that upsets them.
Talk about Muslims, sociology, or left wing politics and you get a stream of "cuckcuckcuck gobacktoreddit cuckcuckcuck".
Talk about monarchy, economics, or critiques of leftist ideas and you get fedora pics, shitty communism memes, and accusations of being alt right nazis.
Really sad because every once in a while there'll be a thread that makes wading through shit worth it.
What could have happened if Sweden hadn't broken out from the Kalmar Union?
>>1454705
Who cares?
Prob Scandinavian Empire, and significantly more relevance post 17th century.
>Kalmar Union
I play EU4, the post
If Herms are supposed to depict Hermes, why does he always have a beard? I've never seen Hermes with a beard anywhere other than on a herm.
>>1454583
>>1454594
t. Alcibiades
>>1454583
Herms could also depict anyone
Did you determine that life is awful rationally or empirically?
What's life
>>1454557
A mere spook
>>1454549
Rationally.

/his/, what the fuck am I reading? Why is the F4 referred to as the south american fighter?
>>1454537
Because you're a fucking illiterate retard that doesn't know what 'on-site' means.
you made this dumb thread because you wanted to post your shitty anime, didn't you
>>1454551
but the site was Vietnam from a United States company.
If this is supposedly the best of all possible worlds, how good could heaven possibly be?
Heaven is a meta world, you cuck.
>>1454483
>falling for the monads meme
>>1454483
Better than any natural, finite world could be
If nobody has free will, can we blame anyone for what they're doing?
I personally transcended reality, therefore I have free will
>>1454372
Go suck yourself off somewhere else
>>1454386
You are my property, you don't get to command me
Was it because the pictures from vietnam came back and were too horrific?
Democracies aren't able to win offensive hot wars without incurring huge amounts of backlash from sectors of the populace who question its validity. Mix in media showing how shit war is and you have a deadly mix.
Plus, I guess on an International Relations level, the US deemed that it was no longer in the national interest to prevent the fall of South Vietnam.
>>1454341
There was little interest in winning
>>1454341
Essentially yes. ABC and hippies lost the Vietnam war.
To what degree was the Purge based on legitimate fears of subversion?
To what degree was Stalin just being paranoid?
Did the purge strengthen the USSR?
>>1454264
>To what degree was the Purge based on legitimate fears of subversion?
To the highest degree.
>To what degree was Stalin just being paranoid?
The man was beyond paranoid, the amount of people close to him he had shot or sent to reeducation camps is mind boggling.
>Did the purge strengthen the USSR?
Sure, if you consider killing scientists, engineers, teachers, technicians, etc. as a source of strength.
>>1454287
And 50000 army officers.
>>1454264
Well, he killed thousands of people so chances are he got at least a few who were really plotting against him.
How the hell do you transliterate Arabic writing into Latin alphabet without losing vowels? All the transliterators I'm finding on Google turn up things like "mkhwqwk", which does not capture vowel sounds.
Like this?
مخ مسلوق
>>1454096
Vowels are indicated by diacritics. But Semitic languages have changeable vowels, the vowel you use depends on the case and the declension of the word, so leaving them out is not usually a problem.
>>1454096
>مخ مسلوق
Boiled brain, it's a delicacy.
>>1454131
Right but not the translation (meaning of a word) but the transliteration (sound of a word).
Having just read Unwin's "Sex and Culture", I must ask you /his/: do you think society would be better off, or worse off, if everyone (both men and women) waited until marriage to have sex?
If everyone waited until marriage, and didn't cheat after marriage std's would be almost none existent.
Could be better considering there's shitloads more to a potential relationship than just sex
There's a lot to do
>>1454066
It would lead to a lot of sexual frustration though, especially among the youth and those in highschool.
Is polyamory always destined to fail?
>>1454008
Not sure if its destined fail but it will resort in region wide instability due to leaving the majority of males without mates. Without an outlet for their hormonal discharge (?) you not have a country or region filled with angry young men
Monogamy is the cultural norm in all civilised nations for a reason
>>1454191
Yeah unless you start out with a weird ass, maybe post-war population that has way more women than men, you're not going to have enough for everyone. Technically, nobody has anyone assigned to them or anything like that, but there's still the promise that the numbers are out there. "Other fish in the sea" and all that. Take it away and you're creating a massive source of aggression and frustration simply because there's not even a pathway to fulfill this basic need.
I don't have a vagina, but honestly I can't see why women would do this. I have way too much self respect and ego to share a wife with some prick, I don't know how they value themselves little enough to be accepting of the practice.
>>1454231
>women
>self respect
Women value themselves only as others value them. They're social creatures
