Where did the widespread tradition of asking a girls hand in marriage from her father come from.
I mean it used to be a thing in europe and asia and still is for some more conservative groups in the middle east.

Because women are property. You can't just take a man's car. You have to ask for it.

Because the man of the house the father, had direct control over the women in their family until they were married

If you are so socially incompetent that you cannot get what you want, what does that say of your beliefs of yourself if you cannot shift them?

The elites haven't. The materialistic atheist kool-aid is only distributed to the masses and mid-level lackeys.

They haven't rejected it at all, it's only evolved. Elites love it. Plebs eat up watered-down, warmed over Theosophy, Kabbalah, and Volkisch tradition to justify their plebby ends. Soccer moms want Fabio. Teens want to summon succubus. Hipsters want to be one with nature. Stormcucks want a BBC to bang their wives. It's endless.

If only there were some way, you could somehow search for an image someone had uploaded. Via some sort of triangle leading to the google image search function. If only this feature were inbuilt into 4chan as a functional and working system.
If only.

What are the most interesting parts in jewish mythology and folklore?
Judaism has demons and demonesses.
I think the most pop ones are moloch(molech), lilith and golem but what else?
I mean ones that are specific to judaism, not christianity.

There's not really any unifying "Jewish" folklore. Jewish folklore in say, 18th century Russia bears a lot of resemblance to 18th century Russian folklore. Jewish folklore in the Gemara is quite similar to contemporary Babylonian/Sassanid folklore.
Comes with being a largely diasporic people, I guess, but there's really very little folklore I can think of as being distinctly Jewish, unless you count various stories of Rabbis being kicked around with miraculous powers, and even then, it's not too different from other stories of wise or learned saintly people with their own supernal abilities.

lets redefine it to thingsd that also appear in the bible or other jewish writings.

>By the time of the election in November 1968, LBJ had evidence Nixon had sabotaged the Vietnam war peace talks - or, as he put it, that Nixon was guilty of treason and had "blood on his hands".
>In late October 1968 there were major concessions from Hanoi which promised to allow meaningful talks to get underway in Paris - concessions that would justify Johnson calling for a complete bombing halt of North Vietnam. This was exactly what Nixon feared.

Is Denmark historically underrated?

>>1352160
There's a Swedish conspiracy to marginalize Denmark because Denmark is more cosmopolitan and hip.
>>
They were the overlords of Scandinavia before the Swedish and Tycho Brahe was a pretty cool guy. Did they also politically facilitat the colonisation of the North Sea Isles? Also, the Jutes and Angles came from mainland Denmark, though I'm not sure how Danish they were.
For such a tiny, unendowed, faraway place, Denmark has done a lot.

Alright /his/, time to play a game.
Would you rather:
1. Fight in WWI's Western Front, or WWII's Eastern Front?
2. Participate in the Battle of Okinawa, or the Battle of Gallipoli?
3. Fight in the Battle of Verdun, or the Battle of Stalingrad?
4. Participate during the battle of Jutland? Or the Battle of Midway?
