But anon, don't you want to btfo /pol/ by comparing Nord huts to Africans?

>>486443
Who gives a shit honestly, now we're on top and you shitholes with muh history and muh houses are indeed shitholes.

Religion was never BTFI in the first place. It has always been the refuge of second rate thinkers and their terrible ideas.

The fact that it's now dying (at least the literalist version of it) shows that the last centuries merely slowed down the inevitable collapse

>Neitzsche in a trenchcoat

>>483587
This is by far the cringiest picture I have ever seen. And I am not religious people.

The addition of a fucking comedian and a shitposting demagogue among a bevy of scientists is cream of the cringe.

Not anymore since OP

only to Americans, to my people he is a hero that made Russia great and turned it into a superpower that the world trembles before even today.

Maybe not the most evil, that's hard thing to define. There might have been more evil people not wielding as much power as he did.

But as far as might goes, let's put it this way;

Stalin's tendencies for wickedness most likely affected more people living in his world at the same time as him than any other despot before or after him. He was irresponsible with his power in regards to the suffering of others. In the end, it's what caused his pre-mature death.

Mao, Hitler and maybe even Bush are other candidates of course. But Mao, while he killed many, did not do so for the express purpose of murdering. Hitler did not kill as many and Bush just isn't in the same league but he wielded more power.

Ottoman music as well. The Ottoman marching band was one of the most important tools of the Sultan. With his awesome band and his mighty artillery, he could reduce the enemy defenses to the rubble.

>tall skinny women
tall and skinny women shows that they do not need to store food, therefore they shows that they have the means to eat whenever they want, contrary to those peasants who are always fat in old age or if they do not work and skinny once they work hard to get food.
now, beauty and wealth are connected, with beauty attracting wealth and wealth attracting beauty. there fore, you have more beautiful women who are thin.

>>479228
That being said, working class beauty standards and middle/upper class standards have always been different. Can we really say all that has changed for the majority of women, especially when we get into non white communities where curves are still numero uno?

>>479303
>>479228

Women have always been more relatively fatter and less toned than men are. For some reason the media is really pushing thin woman-fat man married couples a lot. I'm not sure if this is worse than the past because it puts more pressure on the girl and says its okay for a guy to be a lazy slob and an idiot because "hey, women are better and smarter" hmm..

at least in the past women and men were both expected to look good ,and it was acknowledged women were plumper/weaker, not more athletic and taller like the media has been confusing us for the past 30-40 years

Where is the reverence *my* cause deserves to be paid?

>>486376

Yeah Malcolm X was pretty dope, desu

>>486376
And now American blacks have experienced the exact same legal rights and even a preferable status by institutions for decades.

Yet the problems seem to persist.

Is quoting Malcom X truly relevant in modern society? Could he honestly hold those same views in 2015?

Your mistake is taking peoples' will as an object and not a subject. Bosnians and Albanians were -not- converted to Islam: They converted to Islam

>Germanic tribes had an empire in north africa
yea, a little piece if land that can only fit like 12 people

>>469393
the vikings were one of the most feared warriors in their time, roman and arab scholars praised their tactics, weaponry, and heart. It took the combined forces of the brits, the french, and the italians to stop them

If you're under the impression of germanic tribes as "white people" having a,
>empire
in north Africa, you're sorely mistaken.

Native americans having a shitty immune system does not constitute a genocide.

>the biggest genocide in human history didn't occur in Nazi Germany

I'm glad that they are at least aware of how blown out of proportion that genocide actually is

The only way to avoid it would have been if the encounter with other continents didn't happen until modern vaccines were developed. And even then, I am fairly sure nobody who met the Azteks would have just let them be.

A cookie cutter anti-euro opinion piece. With that being said it really isn't "Shit" but rather a book no one with an already defined history knowledge should bat an eye to.I wouldn't recommend it regardless.

>>484959
I've heard arguments that it's pro-euro. Basically reducing colonialism to a deterministic process instead of a violent conquest

>>484991
Not completely, but it is referenced to. But it's essentially an anti-euro bias. Especially when talking about "The Old World."

“Not until the beginning of the 20th century did Europe's urban populations finally become self-sustaining: before then, constant immigration of healthy peasants from the countryside was necessary to make up for the constant deaths of city dwellers from crowd diseases.”

Because women weren't pressured to pursue greatness. There weren't any expectations for women throughout history to achieve something big. All such pressures must come from within, and therefore any female that has attained greatness are all excellent, such as Noether and Mirzakhani.

Feminism thus must encourage women to introspect such that they can realize and actualize their own greatness, instead of extrospect and blame the lack of female representation in industry on the strawman that is patriarchy.

Historically, women haven't exactly had the most praiseworthy of roles in society. Until the development of modern Western civilizations, women have generally been viewed as child-bearers and housekeepers.

Lee never stood behind slavery; he only fought for the Confederacy as a loyal Virginian, defending his homestate.

Where is Scipio?

To my understanding only the irish call it a genocide. Everyone else calls it the irish potato famine.

>>479804

Didn't the British government contine to export food from Ireland through the entirety of the famine?

>>479815
Yes. From what ive read they even had military escorts to make sure starving people wouldnt attack the shipments. Usually when theres a famine in a country they ban exporting food. Of course during the famine no such ban was put because the merchants were being whiny about profits.
