How come the Southern US never had a successful slave revolt like Haiti?

>nationalism didn't exist until the 1800s
Proto-nationalism did, which is basically the same minus media
>>1386204
>nationalism is pride in your own ethnicity/culture
shoo shoo /pol/roach
Nationalism means a political movement which strive for national sovereignty. Before the French Revolution, the sovereign was a king and the idea of the political nation had not been fully developed in the modern sense.
Some people take this to mean that ethnic identity, patriotism, group loyalty and even nations themselves are modern concepts but this is bullshit.
How was Qin Shi Huang viewed throughout Chinese history up until modern times?
I know that he was ruthless, and I also understand that the Han tried to vilify him as much as they could, and it was during their reign that the highly acclaimed "Ten Crimes of Qin" was published. But was there a time when people viewed him a national hero? Or was he detested all the way through?
during the han dynasty he was vilified, because of his repression of confucianism and disregard of traditions (he wasnt Xia, filith steppenigger). They also ended up enemies of Legalism, the ideology they overthrew. He want to make it into the pantheon of the 5 emperors but failed.

I have a feeling that much of the hate on the Qin was down on one thing: his serious curtailment of the feudal nobility that led to their eventual demise in Imperial China.
We have no idea what the plebs thought of him, but keep in mind this cunt opened government offices to them via meritocracy and fucking abolished slavery.
I bet the Communists shitsmeared his memory too in modern china, hence allowing the meme EVIL KING memes to continue.

Why would they care. They even rehabilitated Cao Cao (tho mostly because people kept comparing Mao to him), why would they continue with the dynastic shitflinging that plagued the last 3000 years of chinese historical studies?
Hello /his/

They survive often not due to correctness or applicability, but rather according to traits which enable reproduction.
Consider an ideology that preaches to its followers "be fruitfuil and multiply" versus one that preaches celibacy.
The population of the first ideology will grow faster.
However, the rate will be cancerous, and the ideology will run the risk of self-contamination through misinterpretation. Everyone will fuck like bunnies to the extent that there is no central authority on what's what and the ideology dissolves into schisms.
Meanwhile a smaller-population ideolgy might thrive and survive under these conditions if on its toes, scattered, and deeply rooted in its own dogma/intelligentsia. If the average adherent knows a lot about the ideology and its enforcement and the nuances of survival, it might not matter so much of the followers are churning out kids.
Because most people do not understand the principles upon which their ideology thrives, but rather only the principles upon which their ideology is based, proponents of ideology are highly susceptible to MAD BAIT and WICKED BUTTHURT and can in fact be confused into hurting their own ideology much like POKEMON.
It thus necessitates that in order to be safe the True Individual™ must inoculate his or herself of any and all ideology, particularly the most dangerous ideology of all: The ideology of the True Individual© who confuses oneself into thinking they are without ideology when in fact they are the most deluded of all.
As this is not possible, the circumstances necessitate physical removal

TL;DR: Fragmentation from having three completely different sources of influence (Ottoman Istanbul, Moscow and Rome/the West) for ~500 years, ~200 years of Ottoman stagnation while occupying them, buying into the Pan-Slavist meme, ~60 years of communism, and corruption.

No. There was a chance 100 years ago, but the eternal anglo didn't like it.
What micronation was most relevant in the history? Why do they still exist?
>>1385732
the vatican, and its not close
bc of muh feels
>>1385732
The Vatican kerbstomps everything else on that list.
I mean as the TRUE AND LEGITIMATE successor to the Western Roman Empire it could hardly not
The proper term for a country of extremely small size is Microstate. A micronation is a country someone makes up and proclaims, like Sealand.
How much is actually known historically about Rurik, the semi-mythical founder of Russia? I've heard claims that he was a Finn, not a Norseman per say. Is there any truth to this?
How much influence did the varangian culture of him and his decedents affect the development of Russian culture?
Post any and all knowledge about Rurik and varangians in Eastern Europe in general.

His Y-chromosome was Finno-Ugric by origin but assimilated into proto-Germanic society perhaps even 2000 years before his time.

*The Y-Chromosome of his """""descendants""""" is N1C, but there is no evidence this is HIS Y-Chromosome.
How does having an ancient history/culture create solidarity among a country's people? Is it an obstacle to modernization?
Pic related, representative of a controversial era in China's beloved history. [spoiler] Also best drama [/spoiler]
>>1385574
>How does having an ancient history/culture create solidarity among a country's people?
It gives people something they have in common, something which cannot be denied. Something to be proud of, a nationilstic sense of worth.
Countries without culture do not have this, something I struggle with is a sense of ancestry. Born in Australia, but not even Australian.
memes can be created on the spot to encourage "solidarity" (conformism) among gullible plebs
maybe a rich cultural heritage helps a little, but probably not much relatively speaking, particularly if they have had a few decades to create new memes
Stop flooding this place with your chink propaganda threads everyday. Cheng
Everyone from Iran to Pakistan (real Aryans) should be Zoroastrians. It is the true religion of the Aryan race.
>>1385459
Zoroastrianism, especially under Sassanian, is just another sandnigger tier religion. Sassanid inscriptions proudly talk about how such and such priest destroyed the Christian Churches and Pagan temples.
Your romanticism is understandable, being the diaspora you are.
>>1385459
"Real Aryans"... This is not how it works.. Just because they come from the same mountain THOUSANDS of years later does not mean they are aryan. If a dog is born in a stable it's not born a horse.

How is it like to be cucked by Islam and become a vanishing minority?

It's actually a philo-semitic canard to reinforce the boogeyman trope among antisemites.

The latter

Wikipedia seems to imply the last Khazars were Muslims before being conquered by the Rus. Is there any truth to this?
Once we die, how exactly does your soul get transferred to another realm. Obviously you're can't be part be of the Material Phenomenon, because you're soul would then be physical and matter cant be created nor destroyed. So the only answer would be dualism, but how exactly does a non-physical affect a physical object, what keeps us attached. Also, HOW IS OUR MEMORIES TRANSFERRED? DOES OUR SOUL HAVE A BACK UP STORAGE BANK OR SOMETHING !?!?
GUYS I'M FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW, AND I'M NOT EVEN RELIGIOUS

Well done.
Are you asking which one to read first? Beyond good and evil if you have to choose between those two. If you're new to nietzsche I'd recommend twilight of the idols.
