black people: they were egyptians, romans, greeks, vikings, chinese, samurai, and holy roman emperors

>>1378217
Don't forget they were also French revolutionaries, Atlantians, the true artists of the Renaissance, the original Jews and the first people to have a space program.

First and foremost, though, they were kangz.

The ones that didn't were usually shot dead.

Morality was of no relevance. They were simply the harbingers of historical necessity.

>From my point of view, the goyim are evil

No but seriously, they fucking slaughtered the czar and his whole family including all the children. Of course they knew they were fucking evil

Watch The Chekist, great movie

What do you think of Lisle Rose's "Suicide cruise to support the Schlieffen Plan" idea?

>>1380237
Because it would hurt if they took them off too soon.

Well the romans was black..

actually no

It is morally mandatory.

is it morally ok to do something that isn't a danger to yourself or others?

well gee i don't know, but i suppose you'd have to start by showing how any sort of exploration isnt dangerous.

>>1384009
No, it is not. Sexuality is the root of all evil. You should strive for higher goals in life, and not lower yourself to the level of a female. Only females are epitomally anti-intellectual, the embodiment of purely sexual materialism, the rejection of culture, the denial of everything mental we evolved which separates men from animals. As a man you should always be aware that you are a human being, better than an animal.

Maccabees? Sicarii and Zealots in the 70AD Jewish Roman war.

Shit there's really too many to name, which says a lot about the human condition. But just off the top of my head:

The Waffen-SS, and more notoriously the Einsatzgruppen and Ordnungspolizei.

The Belgians in the Congo. ("I don't care how many baby hands it takes, deliver the ivory!")

The Red Guards in China.

Saint-Just's Terror in France.

Nah, none of those were trying to state build in their own name. They all did awful things to people, but the intention was different.

I'm having a little trouble thinking of any group that was motivated by religion alone or at least primarily that waged war on everyone around them in order to build a state.

Possibly some of the more radical protestants during the reformation. Most of the time it's the states all ganging up on relgious minorities who just want to be left alone. Not the minority attacking everyone at once.

Danny DeVito is 147 cm, for comparison.

There's a good Yezhov quote that displays his attitude towards state security: "When you chop wood, wood chips fly." I can see why a short guy would think this.

>>1384053
That's a common Russian saying similar to "you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs", not something he invented.

Collective security as long since been superseded by mutually assured destruction.

>>1383649
Yes, but mutually assured destruction is only applicable to countries with such means, and many of them are content to not expand their borders or seek further control, with the obvious exception of Russia. Adding to that, MAD has done little to curb Russian expansionism; in other words it isn't a viable alternative due to its consequences, and as such isn't really relevant.

whoops forgot china too

They tested liberal ideas on them. Finland got the pretty good autonomy rule as part of Russia and even the kind of constitution.

>>1383406
But the rule of russian empire was supposed to be incredibly brutal and the embodiment of evil.
Many finns told me this.

>>1383415
The *real* brutality was somewhere else.

The roman strategy of getting stuck in with boarding tactics was easier to implement compared to the carthaginian ramming tactics. Also, ramming tactics require skills so whenever carthage lost ships their fleet gradually become less effective while the romans were getting better and better at boarding.

The Romans actually lost every naval battle until they reversed engineered Carthaginian ships and added boarding planks.

Rome knew they couldn't match carthage at Sea, so they turned every naval battle into a land battle.

The corvus was a motherfucker of an invention. Romans were damn good at turning weaknesses into strength

What pollice verso actually means is the subject of scholarly debate that isn't concluded yet.

>it is uncertain whether the thumb was turned up, turned down, held horizontally, or concealed inside the hand to indicate positive or negative opinions

I've read someplace about a thesis that the Arena killing choice contested the Bread and Circus theory since the Arena was a highly democratic event and almost everyone "voted" the life of the gladiator.

Thumbs up: Execute
Thumbs down: Sheathe weapon

The thesis also said that gladiators were very expensive so they wouldn't kill people all the time. In fact gladiator tombstones often said that they lived to old age.

>In fact gladiator tombstones often said that they lived to old age.
Wouldn't that be due to only gladiators who won their freedom being able to afford tombstones? I doubt a slave would get anything more than a mass grave.

Well after the Communists sorted themselfs out and the first five year plans started rewing up the indstrialisation, it seemed like communism was a great alternative to capitalism (which itself just crashed horribly).
Additionally it was crazy popular in the third world because a backwards (or at least perceived as such) country like russia managed to become the worlds second greatest power in a mere 20-30 years. Also keep in mind that planning and 'forced' industrialisation did work reasonably well for some countries in the third world.
The USSR did have a reasonably well working social-security system too, even though it did bleed the state itself dry.

>>1382927
That's only true for poorpost colonial states
Communism took over using military power
People were scared of communism
Poles in east Prussia in 1920 voted to stay with Germany ,a country where they were second class citizens because they didn't want to join with Poland as they feared soviet control that much

>>1382927
Bolshevism isn't everyone's idea of Communism. You should understand that before you try to work out anything else.

No, fuck off.

How can history be cringe? Is this some sort of meme for historians? I always feel so dumb when visiting this board but I can't stop for some reason.

I cringe every time i look at photos of jewish ghettos in europe during the 1930's because i know every single one of these goy-opressed chosenites would later on have been turned into lampshades and soap

>>1383548
good goy that sounds horrendous!

Nothing is immortal. Even Shakespeare, Ovid and Homer will be forgotten and swallowed by time eventually.

>>1382546
You really think so? Even with all the tools we have that preserves knowledge?

No, having kids is
