Just as one is proud of his or her family and their accomplishments but also do not denigrate the accomplishments of other families.

I think culture would be more apt because it is better at defining the psychological 'tribe' than race or nationality; there are lots of factions within an ethnicity that compete and loathe each other, as well as, to an extent, nationality. These are usually different 'cultures' within said nationality or race that are against each other

>>1420158
There isn't much that is particularly loathsome about pride. Allowing pride to lead to irrational action is the usual concern. Pride based on logical reasons is to be preferred then but not necessary.

because humans cant see in darkness
many predators can

>>1420071
It's a primal fear from our ancestors.
Most predators hunt at night.
The fact that at one point, our ancestors were being hunted by things we couldn't see, or didn't know we're there till their mates started screaming and being dragged away left fears that still linger.

>>1420071
We're conditioned by evolution to fear dark colors because in the past we had to fight off dark-skinned savages so that we could isolate ourselves and create civilization

It was an inside job, right?

i would say that COINTELPRO
is one kindof permeation on this, in which the government allows protests/movements to carry on, just plants instigators/provocateurs and informants to steer it the wrong way and tarnish its public image

also we've seen this a lot in RICO cases, in which the government will allow organized crime networks to continue operating while they gather the nessacery evidence to thoroughly destroy hard to reach leadership

>>1419849
Well, I was actually expecting something quite older. Maybe greece/rome.

>>1419839
>Basically, it goes like this: A government notices a conspiracy or coup is being planned, still in a premature state. Instead of acting, they allow it to carry on while keeping informed and preparing to crush it when it happens. That way, any hidden, powerful dissidents come to light and are crushed with the conspiracy, as opposed to crushing it in an early stage when almost no one is involved.

Operation Valkyrie is the closest thing I can think of

True conservatives would love for us to go back to the middle ages.

People will be using poorly run nuclear power plants and weaponized nuclear power as spooks against nuclear power forever.

Just let it happen.

Swede here. Those three crowns are a national symbol of Sweden so no doubt it's from here. In Sweden a tool like that is called fickkniv.
I have little knowledge about antiques but it looks like something quite common here, so I wouldn't estimate it to be worth anything significant at all I'm afraid.

The Nuraghi.

There are 8000 on the island and have no apparent purpose, many of them also must have took a really huge effort to be built, given their size and height.

I have many of his lecture series and I love his work. One of his more interesting claims is that he thinks that Constantine's conversion to Christianity was genuine and he bases it off numismatic evidence.

>>1419783
My favorite theory from him, which he himself claims has no evidence and is just an idea, was his theory about the Vikings in Vinland and the Native Americans.
After an initial friendly exchange the Native Americans attacked the Vikings suddenly and became hostile. There's no known reason why but he speculated amusingly that the initial friendly meeting involved trade of milk and dairy goods Vikings had which then the lactose intolerant Natives got sick from and thought had been tricked or poisoned.

He's done some interesting work on Steppe people, Asia Minor, Byzantium, Crusades, Early Christianity, Late Rome and Vikings.

>>Scythians, a loose union of different tribes, as a civilization
You could say the same thing about the Huns and Mongols yet they were included in the last game

>>1419744
Huns were a pretty shitty choice too. Mongols are kind of an exception, since they started out as barbarians but ended up building a fairly 'civilized' empire with literacy, administration, urbanism, advanced technology, etc, even if it didn't last that long. Plus their impact on history is just too huge to overlook. Scythians and Huns didn't really do any of that.

Scythians had nice art though.

>why didn't a bunch of tribals living under the heels of Turks and Persians try to conquer a sweltering, disease infested, unknown land a world away for no reason?

They traded and raided for slaves right down the east coast. They had forts and trading posts at places like Zanzibar.

As for why they did not "colonize" like the Europeans.

As they did not have an industrialized society they could not justify the vast investment required to create European style colonial states as they did not require the resources they produced. What they wanted; gold. ivory, slaves etc could be gained by trading.

>>1419367
Zanzibar wasn't Arab, originally Kilwa was founded by a Black Persian prince.

Some people build their own houses

That's a stupid question

To be a man one must have honor. Honor and a penis.

When the government is not upholding constitutional responsibilities it is the military's duty to overthrow it.
