Seriously, why is Tokyo and countless other cities built in the vicinity of a volcano, and how do they not see it coming?

Why do so many people live along the tectonic fault lines around the Pacific, don't they see it coming?

How some so many people live in tornado alley, aren't they seeing it coming?

Why do people still live in the south where hurricanes and flooding strikes every year? Can they see it at all?

is anywhere safe?

Nazi meme magick

>>492011
Am I the only one who finds it pretty Ironic How Most of the higher ups of the Nazi were the complete opposite of the "Aryan Man" Image that they worshipped

>>492039
its almost like le master race meme is just a propaganda tool XD

>Is there any extent to which Nietzsche did not destroy non-theistic morality?
I thought he only attacked Christianity? At least I know that's all he "attacked" in the gay science.

>>491969
he didn't destroy it
he merely explained it.

the rich kings told you not obeying them was bad
then some sheister came along and said that god rules above all kings and that what the kings do against the poor is evil.

he merely offeres an escape route to those wishing to escape
he didn't destroy it

>>491969
rule of the stronger is barbarism, let nbody fool you otherwise. human beings are not barbarians

No. They came from the proto-balto-slavs who in turn diverged from PIE.

Just like how the Celts and Italics came from Italo-Celtic which came from PIE

>Italo-Celtic
Stop spewing wikipedia linguistic bullshit, the only things Italic and Celtic have in common are the /*r/ mediopassive endings and the labiovelar stop split.

This is rose-tinted goggles. The theocracies of the past were just as corrupted-if not a great deal more corrupt, than the corporations and secular governments of today.

Also things were far less safe back than. Traveling was very dangerous, you could easily be captured and sold as a slave. You did have more community but this came at an extreme cost the individual: for instance your marriage would have been arranged and you would most likely be born a peasant that would never learn to read. Being poor and uneducated you would have little choice but to do the same thing your father did, or if you were a woman to spend your entire 45 year life span raising children half of whom would die of a disease before your eyes due to the poor conditions of serfdom.

This.
Romanticizing history is absolute cancer

You are a stooge of the highest order.

*sigh*

>soviet army is in Stalingrad
>march around them
>they're behind you
That's sure to end well...

>>491532
Well, why?

I suppose it pales in comparison to the whole global war thing that happened instead.

>>491503

When Mussolini started gassing the Ethiopians, that pretty much guaranteed he would never be shown in any sort of positive light.

So THAT'S what that scene in The Great Dictator was about.

German High command was too aggressive and confident that the Wehrmacht could achieve its goals before the weather got bad, Hence the didn't issue winter clothing and provisions. As a result, the Axis forces, frozen and starved, were beaten.

>>491499
The Soviet production capacity was WAYYYYY higher than Germany's. The Nazis banked on their super shitty military image after Japan, WWI, and The Winter War, and didn't take a sober logical look at what they would be invading.

>>491499
Why didn't the Germans take Leningrad and Sevastopol?

why are german officers reading english newspaper

>>491233
Kitchener had an insatiable appetite for male bodies.

>>491237
They just liked the pictures.

>How does /his/ feel about the topic?
The Western humanist marxists were useless fucking cunts.

I like it

They are cool but I would never go to them for actual philosophical substance.

>>490977
there were african sailors? interesting

>>490977

no

No, because African niggs certainly weren't in coastal Peru where the Chimu were at the time. The Chimu used black color to depict poeple also.

Picasso used blue to depict males and pink for females.

You may now go back to your jiving and shucking, gimme-dats ways.

Genetic tests show that southern Egyptians are the most closely related to Ancient Egyptians. You have to remember that it's hard for an invading force to have much genetic impact on the native population. Now imagine such a native population being situated along the greatest river in the world, nurtured to great numbers by the extremely productive agriculture that river allows. With that in mind, it seems preposterous that the Ancient Egyptians were just absorbed by Arab invaders.

Well, Egyptians do look distinct from other arabs. It's undeniable there was blanda upp, even pre-arab. Ancient Egypt was considered old even for the Greeks.

Copts don't really look distinct from Muslim Egyptians.

Muslims are stupid so it's not them.

Because the people who wrote the New Testament only gave a cursory, if any, reading of the Old Testament before they got started.

>>490867
Because they were written by different people in different times without any divine inspiration. I would have thought that was obvious senpai.

Wanna know how I know you haven't read the Bible?

Depends on how much the Mongols wanted it. They conquered tougher stuff and if they really wanted to, they could. But it would not be worthy it.

>>490631
you need to take into account even if the mongols had don't lose the motivation after each khan died the had to go back to Mongolia to bury the old khan and for the new khan to ascend to power so that gives the Europeans time to recover and rebuild a bit and come up with means to counter the Mongols and that's without taking into account rebellions that don't shatter the empire

Nope

Scythians weren't Middle Easterners

They were Koreans

Hence, the similarity between the Irish and the Koreans

>>490521
But my dick is over 3 inches this can't be!

being of all Irish decent I thought the Baltrogs of ancient Greece were the 1st inhabitants, name for toolbags that carried with them. but thanks for the update always beer more of an American history buff or overall world stuff.
