Ey fellas:). Now, I haven't researched this very adequately, but, to me, it would make more sense if Hitler had just sent the 11 million people dying in concentration camps to war, especially since it was going so rough against the Soviet Union. Perhaps to the front lines, with all the risky jobs, and force them to suicide bomb or something. Then all the laborious tasks --that would have been carried out in concentration camps-- could be given to the people of Germany as jobs with pay to get the economy flowing. Is this reasoning super flawed?
The 11 million figure is supposed to include far more than those who died in camps. It would also count those murdered by Einsatzgruppen units at the front, killed in Nazi supported pogroms, etc.

and you think jews would make reliable suicide bombers?
How would you even manage to administrate 11 million suicide bombers?

Probably stupid to ask, but I'm dumb to history and have just discovered my interest with it; How do I learn as much as I can about history, and how can I know the sources are reliable?

Depends. Numbers from sound methodology are pretty good bets, though you should read for bias.
Can papists explain to me what's with the feet kissing?
Not familiar with that ritual
Pope has a foot fetish, could be worse. Could be much worse.
>>884429
jesus did it at the last supper therefore its important to christians
Its a sign of humbleness, meant as part (or a stand-in) for the religious tradition of washing the feet as Jesus had done for the apostles .
what's next for Dan Carlin's career?
will he ever touch on the steppe peoples / mongols ageen?
what does /his/ think of him?
Entertaining. Not always the most accurate in some cases, but he at least has decent sources and presents his content in a way that is appealing to entry-level people.
I want him to do a series on vikings

dude rape lmao
What is fear?
>>884340
It's an emotion, very tied to the more basic fight-or-flight response. It's a response to perceived danger. It usually instills a sense of urgency. Apparent somatic components are many.

What are 3 pieces of advice you'd give old Theodoric, King of the Eat Goths and Regent of the West Goths?
>>883565
Not to eat other Goths
>tfw no Visigothic Spain, Lombard Italy, Vandal Africa and Frankish Gaul catholic, romance kingdoms that last to this day
>>884349
All shitty states. Jesus Christ Germans couldn't consolidate and stabilize for shit. Fucking Goths with elected monarchy, fucking Franks with gavelkind succession.
As a proud English Protestant Anglican I don't normally like Dawkins that much but I saw this beauty of a clip today and I have to admit he destroys the Satanic Papists here in the name of the Queen.

There are so many battles that have faded into oblivion /his/, so let's rummage in our family histories and dig out what we can.
Post here battles and wars where your ancestors fought in. Everything goes, apart from the last 25 years - /his/ rules. I'll start:
>1806 Battle of Misar - Some of my ancestors were recruited from Montenegro by Karadjordje (Serbian Uprising leader) himself. They were experienced from the constant wars against the Turks, unlike most of the Serb fighters. In the Battle, the older men walked in the back rows, holding swords at the back of the Serbs, so they don't flee. The small force of Serbs/Montenegrins utterly annihilated the Turkish force. As payment my ancestors received huge areas of land (that formerly belonged to the Turks) - where they still live even today.
>WW1 - A great-grandfather fought at the Battle of Cer, Battle of Kolubara, and volunteered at the Battle of Mojkovac. He said the bloodiest (bayonet) fighting he had seen in his life was at Mojkovac. In the second half of the war, in a minor battle on the Macedonian front, he captured a bunker by himself, disobeying orders from an officier. He killed all Austrians inside, and lost an arm. He was decorated with the highest awards.
>WW2 - A great-grandfather fought from the start of the Partisan uprising in Montenegro from 1941, to the end. So did his 7 brothers and a sister, all of whom perished, but he.
>Another great-grandfather was drafted in the Syrmian Front at the end of the war, where he protected a captured German soldier from getting tortured and abused by his fellow Partisans
That's it, a bit meager. Hope you guys have some better stories.
Some of my ancestors probably were involved in the two invasions of Korea by Hideyoshi.
Considering their region, they probably did well. The Lord of their area was the best performer in that invasion and the troops of that region were called devils by the Chinese and Koreans.
I had an ancestor who fought in the American revolution when he was in his 70s.
>grandfather fought in mozambique for Portugal against the revolution. Lots of black People didn't want the revolution and fought alongside the Portugese troops. There were many little bands of looters and rebels who killed anyone opposing them. My grandfather was in the military camp defending the camp and his family.
>WWI some relative fought in flanders for Portugal. Biggest battle was bataille de la lys
>probably some more wars but the stories weren't passed. Although one of my ancestors was called Guerrero which was given to soldiers and fighters who showed prowess on the battlefield

This video is a little more personal than my others, but I feel like I need to get this off my chest as it's something I've been walking around with for a long time.
Coming out as an ex Muslim is something that many people compare to coming out as gay in the 70's. Apostasy is a crime in every theocracy remaining, and Muslim apostates face threats, torture, and discrimination in those countries for their entire lives.
Today, I want to talk to y'all about my experience with Islam, and how I was able to finally escape it. Hope you enjoy.
