Also, the Wampanoag and Naragansett.

Literally decimated the fighting aged population of New England, almost destroying it, while fighting with shit weapons. Armed forces were roughly the same size, so it was a good fight even if it ended up destroying them.

Pre-Kobanî ISIS takes my vote, by all account ferocious fighters who actively sought death.

After the US started to support the incompetent Kurds it all fell apart, and now their ranks are watered down by inexperienced cowards from the West.

Kind of not a fair comparison as the Hebrews have a living God fighting for them.

>why is FDR regarded as one of the worst presidents of the USA in /his/?

Who the fuck says this? It isn't 2008 and Ron Paul isn't reddit's hero anymore.

>>1181631
He basically just golfed his last term and did jack shit. Oh, wait, that's Obama.

GOP butthurt mostly.

They have to explain away the fact that Washington consensus neoliberal policies resulted in a stagnating middle class, but Keynesian policies made the US into a hyperpower.

Islamic reformation already occured, it's called Wahhabism / Salafism.

Isn't that kind of happening now?

Splitting (also called black and white thinking or all-or-nothing thinking) is the failure in a person's thinking to bring together the dichotomy of both positive and negative qualities of the self and others into a cohesive, realistic whole. It is a common defense mechanism used by many people.[1] The individual tends to think in extremes (i.e., an individual's actions and motivations are all good or all bad with no middle ground).

Oops. I mean this:
Many individuals with developmental disability think in "concrete" or "black and white" terms. This may particularly apply to those with autism or who are affected by fetal exposure to alcohol. “Black and white” thinkers like rules. They like rules that are always the same way.

They don't handle "gray areas."

meant to say,
>Holy Spirit is the Holy Oil

Also I brewed a small batch of what I thought it was, had some very interesting aspects, though it says in the Nag Hammadi not to disclose the recipe for everyone must find it themselves.

My only concern is doing is on a full scale and drowning in it to become baptized. I love God, and the Holy Spirit, but this will be something I have never done and my balls cringe thinking about it. If anyone else believes this give me some encouragement.

Celtic civilization died in the cradle

>>1186798
Stabbed to death by the eternal Latin

>>1186779
>did Rome simply kill Celtic civilisation in its infancy?
Pretty much

>What made them never have their time like Slavs, Germanics, and Italics?
They kind of did, just "their time" was so early that it's basically irrelevant by now.

Bread and fish

Figs and olives.

For 40 days, nothing apparently.

There is literally nothing silly about the Holy Roman Empire.

>>1186634
What made them holy, roman, or an empire?

Stalingrad by Antony Beevor was probably one of the more entertaining history books I've read.

Plague

Suddenly the serfs had the merchants and nobles by the balls

automation

most communist countries ironically enough

>>1186436

When you think about it, the plague was kind of a reset button.

/his/'s, my bad.

Bullshit pseudohistory with a dash of futurist speculation to boot.

The guy should stick to medieval military history.

I thought his treatment of prehistoric culture was great.

Lost interest as he started to go off on tangents about legal theory 'n' modern applications of anthropology 'n' shit.

>>1185978
On the contrary. I find niihilism depression-inducing.

>Can a depression be healed by nihilism?

Absolutely not.

>>1185978

Nihilism can't, but probably absurdism can.

launching colony ships

Hundreds of millions more white people alive today. Dozens of ancient European cities would be intact. More monarchies and aristocratic families would survive. The world would be tremendously better.

>>1185932
Not to mention that half of Europe wouldn't be under the thumb of the soviets for half a century.
