History truly is bunk.
Nobody has any goddamn clue as to what is happening.
History, economics, sociology... for every expert who has dedicated his life to promote one point of view within these fields, there is another with equally convincing evidence that has a contradictory one.
Either there is no rational trend in history and you should use your intuition for all political decisions, or you need to have the resilience to keep trying to find the one objective truth behind everything humanity related.
So I have a question for you, how convinced are you at your own interpretations of how the world functions, and how many years did it take to come to that interpretation?

I agree with most of what you said.
>>
>>1234738
If what you are saying is correct, that historians have no knowledge, then you are also saying that a person would gain no insight into the Pelopennesian war if he read Thucydides, for example.
Do you believe this is the case?
>>
>>1234738
I'm not convinced at all. My interpretations have changed a lot since I started studying history.

Historically, everyone was "dangerous". Whites were just better at it.

That's basically what fags like Evola argued.
They were all about how their ancestors were manly warriors and shit.

Why/when did blonde hair become the european beauty standard?

Germanics spastic nationalists.
Also true black hair was also sought after.
>>
Hair color tends to become darker with age, hence bright hair color implies youth. Also explains why bright hair color is particularly favored on women, not so much on men.

sounds untrue, I've known women who sought out men with blonde hair

These were the iq's of those on trial at the Nuremberg trials. All way above average. What do you think Hitler's was? Also, do you think the allies' commanders had as high iq's as the Nazis?

Around 110-120 probably.
Above average but not much more.

Hitler would definitely be above average but definitely on the lower end of that picture (120 at the most, 115 would be perfect I think).
Just my guess. He seemed very charismatic and pretty bright, but not overly so.

It supports monarchies, it doesn't necessarily support mandatory hereditary heirs. It doesn't support absolute monarchies.
This is all using Muhammad as the prime example.

Why didn't the ROC (or more specifically the Kuomintang) attack Communist China during the Great Leap Forward/Great Chinese Famine?

They're too BTFO.
Also siege mentality.
>>
>>1234342
Because they were heavily outnumbered. China could just human wave attack them a couple times and wipe them out.
>>
>>1234342
Oh and there were 10,000 ROC soldiers that holed up in Burma and kept guerillaing PRC cunts up until their final defeat during a concentrated PRC offensive in 1960-61.
They were survivors of the Chinese Civil War unable to join Chian Kai-Shek's withdrawal to Taiwan.

Question regarding the Iliad and Odyssey. Did the "ancients", lets say the greeks after the time of Alexander the Great and the romans afterwards, did they read (I know they were originally recited) the same versions of those two works or were there still multiple "versions" of them? Do we know when did they start having "standard" versions? Also, do we have a concrete date of the first mention of either poems?
Bonus question.
Do we know if the other Epic Cycle works were still known during late antiquity? When do we start losing tracks of them?
Can anyone recommend "scholarly" books abouts those two works?

The communist party elite knew it was pointless. It was a way to distract the plebs during a political purge.

Was it really that the sparrows allowed a locust boom? As a student of ecology it seems a bit unlikely. Sparrows only eat insects during breeding season. Other birds eat much more insects.

On D-Day, before the landings:
If a single allied soldier arrived in a raft over the channel and appeared on the beach stark naked and started masturbating his penis in full view of all the beach defenders...
How would this have affected the outcome of the battle?

Not in any noticeable manner.
He probably would have been shot and killed, and a few German defenders would be puzzled for the few hours/days before they were likely killed.

Why would they have killed him? He wasn't posing a physical threat.
