So can someone explain the Second Boer War, and just why Britain felt the need for concentration camps?

Britain wanted to conquer the Boer states to gain the gold mines

Britain used concentration camps because the Boers were excellent guerilla fighters that knew the terrain, so Herbert Kitchener decided to round up all the civilians and burn their farms to force the Boers to surrender.

This. Prior to the abolition of the gold standard this was pretty much the goal of British foreign policy everywhere, if I'm not mistaken.

The entire British empire was based on getting gold, since in the coal age gold lined up with the power of the state.
The most powerful states were those who could dig more rocks out of the ground, since that allowed the state to access more energy which would fuel industrialism.

Do you think excessive pride and nationalism over one's country is stupid? I mean, don't get me wrong, if some dipshit other country invaded mine I'd volunteer for the military immediately and defend my home. But for someone to say I am proud to be American, British, Canadian, whatever just feels really stupid to me. To get upset if someone criticizes my country seems stupid to me. The fact that a lot of people find the burning of their country flag one of the most offensive things ever seems stupid to me.

Maybe I'm autistic. In today's modern world, does nationalism have a place?

Yes, absolutely.

No, not at all, it's just tribal mentality that manifests itself in different forms, it's completely natural.

nationalism is inherently stupid and reserved only for feeble minds.

nationalism had its place in history. some of the greatest people to ever be born were incredibly passionate about their country, their ethnicity, their traditions, their culture et cetera.

but in this world we live in, in the second decade of the 21st century, all borders are completely arbitrary, all cultures are more linked and intertwined when they have ever been and being born somewhere does necessarily not mean you'll spend the majority of your life there.

though in my personal opinion nationalism has always been stupid. I could never take pride in something that was not at least done by someone very close to me. even then, I have a hard time being proud of others, pride is really something reserved for one's own achievements.

What were drugs that soldiers and warriors used in the past to help them fight or deal with combat? I know modern soldiers use amphetamines but what about in the eras before that?

Only physically, and/or mentally unstable persons with weak spirit need to consume drugs to "cope with warfare".

If you need drugs to cope with warfare, you are not a warrior and shouldn't be fighting.

Likely something used by Germanic Berserkers for their Berserkergang
Hashish was used by Arabic Assassins, name hints this beiong obvious. It was said it was used during "banzai" missions, legend said they were shown Paradise pleasures by the Grandmaster tho as part of recruitation
I heard Ayahuasca could have been used by Mesoamerican Chilvalry (Jaguar/Eagle, etc), or at least to see those "Golden Cities" like El Dorado.

Hope I have helped. I am genuinely curious aswell.

Modernist and contemporary architecture is based on something Adolf Loos proclaimed in 1910. The Bauhaus movement started in 1919. International Style was first showed in 1932.

Is it time for a change from all that modern-simple-minimalist-deconstructivist style?
Is there a way to make new buildings with the same level of decoration and perfection as the ones from the neoclassical, jugendstil, etc. and still maintain a modern style and technology, instead of just making a recreation of classic architecture?
How should architecture evolve from now?

>The word about Marx’ drinking skills first got around in his days as a student. In 1835 he had a promising start at the University of Bonn, but soon got slightly distracted from his studies, as he was the co-president of his tavern club. Marx even got imprisoned for a day for “disturbing the peace with drunken noise”. His period of “wild rampaging”, as his father Heinrich Marx called it, in Bonn lasted only a year. After which his father transfered Karl Marx to the University of Berlin, where he actually took his Philosophy studies serious. Still this didn’t stop him from consuming large amounts of beer and taking drunken donkey rides through the villages nearby.
>[Karl Marx's wife] stayed with Marx even after he fathered a child with the woman who helped care for their children and lived with them for many years.
Marx was essentially a fratboy who fucked tons of women, total alpha stud who had a family who loved him and never spoke ill. Friedrich Engels literally cucked a proto-fascist and humiliated him.

Then, you have:
>Hitler created a public image as a celibate man without a domestic life

So is the history of leftism and rightism mostly just cuckolded right wingers being outraged at the sexual exploits and kickass lives leftists lived?

Little do people know, that the first ever historical mention of the romanians was recorded in the 11th century... in present day Greece, deep in the balkans by the byzantines

He's a meme scientist.

He published 12 or so papers about bumble bee digging patters in the 70s then moved into selling controversial anti-christian books to make money,

He presented his agruments at a philosophy conference and completely embarrassed himself. They tried to explain basic modal logic to h im and he just gave up and said 'philosphy is dumb and we don't need it anymore'.

The dude is a complete joke at everything but capitalism which he is good at because he realized his pretentious title and controversy can make a lot cash peddling bullshit to retarded white males who desperatly need something to make them feel worth while in today's world.

So no his arguments are complete bullshit from a philosophical point of view.

These were when he was employed as the professor of public understanding of science by Oxford, and aren't exclusively attacking Christianity.
