He's proof blacks aren't necessarily inferior intellectually.

Do you support ME getting SHOT??!

He is a philosopher, but tbqh, that's not saying much these days, because very few philosophers bring anything new to the table, and he's no exception.

It works, just not the way you'd want it to.

That is true of most systems, anyway.

Communism has always ended in far nastier ways than Laissez-Fareie has.
ALso Cold war propaganda.

>it didn't work in the 19th century United Kingdom
You mean like when they repealed the Corn Laws and Irish people weren't dying in a famine because they could import food?

Or do you mean how quality of life changed dramatically from the beginning of the century to the end of the century?

Hey,
I've just finished reading Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford and it gives a really great historical narrative style story. If it irks you that some sources may not be translated well or that Weatherford's thesis is a bit weak, it's really insightful secondary source. Another great book related to this topic is The Mongols by David Morgan which I have also read and it is just the perfect book for understanding this.

>>932564
I honestly find the Mong empire the more boring of the Steppe Nomads. Not to mention the most pop history'd and memed.

>>932564
literally the shittiest civilization in history, their only achivement ever was being good fighters and conquering others. but they never produced anything culturally significant (the cultural achivements by the peoples they subjugated doesn't count). at least the norse had their sagas, created runestones and statues. all nomads did was ride around, fight, steal other people's shit.

Where do you think you are?

We're in the WW2 phase, wait until we start talking about Big Foot and ancient aliens

Seriously though, the World Wars are way too influential to not be focused on

Better Hitler than Mosley

I guess /his/ wasn't the place to ask about history.

The same reason why Ukraine and Russia speak Slavic instead of Norse, or why the French and German kings of England eventually spoke english, a minority will completely overwrite a population's language.

same way you argue against solipsists

>>927782
you are agreeing tho, not arguing with him

The greek word "tekton" (translated into "carpenter") could also possibly mean “artisan,” “contractor,” or “handyman."

I don't think it really makes a difference though

>>925566
Joseph was a carpenter.
It would be sensible to think his wife's son would take up the same trade.

yeah we 'won'

You know for all 4chan jokes about suicide, you'd think you'd support the self-destruction of western culture.

Honestly the Germans still had the Russians on the back foot until Kursk, that's when they finally lost their momentum for good.

As for when German defeat was inevitable, that would be the failure of Barbarossa to make the Russians capitulate. After that, they had lost too much of their core to make an offensive as successful as that plausible ever again. They gamed on breaking the Russians through shock and realized too late that it would be a long, long war.

When Barbarossa failed in its main objectives.

>>929362
You're ignoring the fact that assaults on salients had worked fine before for the Germans. They had literally just crushed a Soviet push into Kharkov (which is what created the Kursk Salient in the first place), and there was no better place to launch an offensive than at Kursk. There, they could call on the forces of two Army Groups and two Luftflotten to hit a dangerously exposed salient in the lines.

That's not to say that there weren't mistakes made at Kursk, but it was hardly a stupid decision to attack it in the first place.

The Germans had to attack it because that was the biggest concentration of Soviet soldiers.

At this point, German high command new that conquering the USSR just wasn't going to happen, but hoped for one last major blow to bring the Soviets to the negotiating table and talk from a position of strength.

the goal was to encircle the Kursk salient and leave some 1.5 million Soviet troops surrounded and stranded by the encircle, which would've taken a good 25% of the Red Army off the playing field. So attacking it had to happen in order to achieve this goal.

The Soviets knew this was the Germans goal too, so they fortified to the point where the Wehrmacht was wading through their own dead men to advance.

It made sense to the Germans who wanted to remove the bulk of the Red Army from the battlefield, but the Soviet defenses were just that strong, even if the Germans pushed for one more assault, ignoring the allied invasion of Sicily, it would've been almost impossible to completely close the circle, considering how negligible their gains were so far in the operation.

Couldn't the germans just dig in themselves to favorable defensive positions and stay on defensive?
