Tianmen Square was pro-communist

They were literally sitting the Internationale and waving a red flag

The students were mad because the Chinese government wasn't communist enough

I thought OP's point was that he would protest for something but lose and it ending with the world actually turning out to be a better place.

Everyone knows the protests were pro-communists, it even says so at the start of the wikipedia page.

This is more of /k/ though isn't it?

>Soviet """navy"""
>Putting Soviet "we're poor and stupid but we want into aircraft" carrier cruisers together with proper aircraft carriers

I mean, they had a shitton of submarines but they're second strike capable retaliation weapons against strategic targets, not something you use against ships.

>>1438545
Even if you let that slide:

The muricans had a shitton of technological advantages. Just look up the shit reagan pulled in the 80s. The americans most likely could start the battle in a favorable position for them. Even if that isn´t the case the americans would have such a crushing air superiority that no ship based AA would be able to compensate that.

Also for a good rage try googling Great Migration

It still baffles me how long distances some peoples traveled in this period while keeping hold of their tribal identity too

Goddamned Alans got from Caucasus to Iberia to Africa
Absolute madmen

Well, they were nomad people, basically traveling every day their whole lives. It just seems weird to us since we got used to sitting in one place.

what are these bottles with random girls on them?

Probably the Moon Landing.

Shame we gave up on real space exploration. We'll all die on this rock.

75%

Mostly true, but obviously exaggerated

>>1438046
Which khan was baptized exactly ?

absolute bullshit

Just look at divorce/cheating statistics, isn't it obvious?

>>1437986
Is love a spook?

>>1437986
No

Its a good time tested way for a complex social animal to raise offspring

>>1438013
Just look at the crime/dropout/poverty rates of children in single parent households

>>1437817
its all just memes and ideology

This thread is yet another proof that including humanities was catastrophically bad

>>1438053
I actually like the history threads here. But humanities threads are doomed to political baiting and name calling. Need to make a separate arts and humanities boards desu. Or just put humanities into /lit/, even though they won't like it.
/sp/ got rid of mandrama for good, why can't we do something similar for /his/?

That's like picking the least smelly shit.

I'd say Pedro II. Few could say he didn't care for Brazil's future.

le helicopter guy seems to be popular nowadays.

No idea why.

>or blood thirsty murderers and thieves?
Depends. Most that started the whole thing were legitimately Privateers, signed off by the local governor to raid Spanish ships.

Depends on the character but most were not as bloodthirsty and violent as youve heard.
Theres strong evidence to suggest that Blackbeard disliked violence, and that alot of the folklore surrounding him was British propaganda.

Sailin around singing shanties with your mateys, seein some punk ass frigate and giving chase flying pirate colors, laying into them with a broadside of cannon fire and then boarding them for some swashbucklin and butt raping sounds like my kinda party

Try Uwafiokun Idemudia's essay on the Resource Curse. He specifically talks about Nigeria, but it can be applied to many other African countries, especially Angola.

>>1437565
look up the portuguese slave trade out of the gold coast and other slave trading nations. you exported all the good genes 500 years ago and now this is what you are left with.

likewise for 50000 years that continent has been mined into the ground of natural resources.

just look at a topography map of the world, africa has literally been trodden & dug out flat.

Depends on how many days.

Not even the Buddha could, hence why he stopped doing it.

I'd imagine so. They had remarkable control over their own bodies. They could most likely slow their metabolism down. Now if they didn't drink water, that's a different story. You can go a pretty damn long time without food. But no water will kill you in less than 2 weeks.

What balls?

I see only a representation of balls that may or may not exist and there is no concrete way of knowing.

praise God ok?

I'd help, but I have to get a 500 word essay done by Thursday.

>two balls on a newton's cradle?
dude testicles lmao

Neural network-imagined fantasy worlds.

If humanity is lucky anthropology will be dissolved as a field of study and future generations will look back and laugh at what a job the 'science' of anthropology was, except for physical anthropology, which will be absorbed into biology.

>Religion is a fucking joke
it's true that these rituals were always kinda pointless. but if we had a real mythology to inspire us it would help.

>>1436879
Which is such a shame on a scale of unimaginable cosmic proportions. There are over 1,700 planets in just the milky way alone and NONE I mean NONE are even close to the diversity and downright magic that is found here on this beautiful planet. Look around you and realize that the things you see don't exist anywhere else, the sights, smells and sounds, the colors. I agree with you, humanity has failed. We do not deserve this great blue beast we call our home.
