Why aren't you a member of the Richard III Society, /his/?
They still trying to deny he had a crook back?
All hail the true king Richard!

He had scoliosis, but he wasn't a hideously ugly clubfooted hunchback with a withered arm.
has recreational drug use ever caused the downfall of a nation?
Opium did fuck over China quite a bit and made Britain very rich in the 19th century.
Alcoholism has decimated native communities around the world

What are some of the most misunderstood ideas/ideologies?
My vote goes for: Anarchism, Communism and Nationalism.
>>965126
They are not misunderstood. They are shit by themselves.
>>965126
That depends on what you mean by misunderstood. Are you talking about the ideal concepts or the practical implications?
>>965137
I'm sure you have some misconceptions of each of those.
Anarchism is probably the worst off, people think it means you just wan't to destroy stuff.
So basically the three boards that talk most about this subject is /his/, /k/ and /tg/.
I know that /his/ is very much a board dedicated to history, but it seems that the military side of things on here revolve around pitting two hypothetical armies against each other or some speculative scenario than I guess a proper look at tactics and stuff.
I don't know, that's just the impression I get.
This isn't a criticism of /his/, just if there's a point in looking at the other boards for this.
Pic mostly unrelated.
>>962417
I'd say cut out /k/ they are good for pictures or weapons or armor but spout crap.
/his/ is kinda shitty but you're likely to get more responses here.
/tg/ is great but sadly a thread there will be archived in a day
/k/ is the best for military history. Hands down.
/k/ is your best bet
Does Arianism have merit?

Of course, the idea that the a god would give birth to a divine man is inherently laughable. It's a shame it didn't become the Orthodoxy.

What are your thoughts on Hinduism? It seems like a more complete religion than Christianity/Judaism/Buddhism, no?
>>963933
At least by my reckoning, it isn't a religion so much as a constellation of similar religions with some overlap. As you point out, there's no founder, no single teacher, no universally believed in God or Gods, no doctrine, no set of beliefs or actions that you can point to and say
>You need to do/believe X. and avoid doing/believing Y, to be a Hindu.
It would be like calling "Abrahamics" a single religion because they all believe in one God, claim it's the same God (more or less) and have at least some notions in common; and that's clearly ridiculous.
>>963933
I think Hinduism ties more in with philosophy. It's more representative of Indian spirituality. I don't think it was really meant to be used outside the east. Hinduism was heavily influenced by Buddhism anyway.
Somewhat related, their prayers are super weird. My mom is an Indian Muslim and she is still weird-ed out by Hinduism despite being surrounded by them. A lot of Indian muslims think Hinduism is super weird for some reason.

Pretty sure it's the other way around, anon.

Why were the French never considered Germanic when Charlemagne Ruled over more of France then Germany, and according to 23 and me their blood is too close to tell much of a difference?
>>947763
But the French are considered Germanic
They don't speak a Germanic language.
Also most of Germany was originally Celtic, that's why they are so genetically similar.
>>947798
Hitler thought the English were closer relatives of Germany then France, and they didn't speak the same language either.
Why did the History Channel go to shit?
When it started.
>>942609
Genuine history isn't as profitable today as watchbait posters
Back when it was the Hitler Channel it was the best thing ever. They had documentaries about every tiny piece of Third Reich minutiae.
What do British people think about this fucking traitor?
Traitor how?
>>972382
Treaty of Munich
>>972390
Ha ha, honestly thought you were gonna say something like "He betrayed the Aryan case for the JEws" for a moment.
And I don't think you can call him a traitor unless he had personal reasons to do it. He thought that was the best way to secure a peace for the Brittish people or at least allowing her to not go unprepared into war, having the destruction of the last war in fresh memory.
Does anyone else think that the Congo Free State gets an unnecessarily bad rap?

It doesnt get a bad enough of one, since most people dont know or care about it and it was genuinely horrific
>christians had access to ancient texts by plato, aristotle
>he let's not copy these down
>let's instead copy more bibles and stupid shit stupid people said about the trinity
Seriously how do you fuck up this badly?
>>972204
If they copied Plato and Aristotle rather than the bible you'd be complaining about that
>>972208
>If they copied Plato and Aristotle rather than the bible you'd be complaining about that
not really, because we probably wouldn't have lost the bible if that were the case. we permanently lost many works of plato and aristotle. forever, because christians didn't copy them
>>972204
Christians did copy them down. This wouldn't have been a problem if pagan barbarians weren't destroying civilization and burning books wherever they went for hundreds of years. Should the church apologize to us because they couldn't copy all their books faster than barbarians could destroy them ?
Given that the universe is infinite in size and time, does that mean that anything that can happen is happening right now and has happened, also happens in the future?
>>969162
how exactly could it be infinite in space when according to the big bang theory it came from a small, finite size?
>>969162
The universe isn't infinate. We know that it's expanding.
We could say that it's "conceptually infinate" becaues it's far too large for us to comprehend, and that it's infinate in the sense that it contains everything that exists.
But it's not literally infine, or the weird stuff you mentioned would be happening
