>Sikh bodyguards kill Hindu prime minister
>Hindus start a pogrom of Sikhs, government turns a blind eye
>Only 3000 die
How is it that something this inflammatory and religiously charged occuring in a non-1st world country could only result in 3000 deaths?
Is something like this really not enough to trigger a full-blown genocide?
Sikhs are brotier
Sikhs are bro
Just a guess but Sikhs likely would have defended themselves.

What exactly is a psychopath? And is it true that a lot of leaders, high ranking, and influential people throughout history were psychopaths?
>>458314
a psychopath is anyone who suffers from a mental illness therefore, yes, many people throughout history were psychopaths
>>458322
I thought that psychopathy was more of just a personality type. Since they aren't necessarily psychotic or delusional.
>>458314
>>458322
Psychopaths suffer from Anti Social Personality Disorder.
They often are unable to feel empathy, and have trouble processing many other normal emotions.
They learn to mimic emotions, or manipulate others in order to succeed in their goal at the moment.
Psychopathy is related to a physiological defect that results in the underdevelopment of the part of the brain responsible for impulse control and emotions.

Just got this book from my uncle yesterday. From what I've heard about it, it seems a little... bleh.
>According to the author, American history is to a large extent the exploitation of the majority by an elite minority.
MUH OPPRESSION! Now, I'm no historian myself but I've had a lecture on historiography and I've got a bad feeling about this. What do you all think?

Considering that there were threads trashing Zinn on day one of this board, it's not new.
Zinn seems profound until you start taking actual upperdivision history classes and you learn that history is not a black and white narrative of heroes and villains, oppressors and victims, but a lot more contingent and nuanced than what Zinn writes. Also, he has awful citation and relies heavily on secondary sources, its basically a left-wing synthesis of American history.
Reading an American History textbook by Eric Foner is more insightful and useful than reading Zinn.

Thoughts?
Both are paralels to the new covenant.
Circumcision is a carnal act, and shows that the demands of the old covenant are also carnal, the Pascha is unleavened, just flesh but no spirit, and the Law is based on carnal justice instead of spiritual love (it even uses very carnal terms as its basis, "eye for eye" and "tooth for tooth).
The sacrifice was important, because it highlighted that God rejected the sacrifice of one's firstborn (in contrast to Moloch), yet God gives *us* that, illustrating that we love because God loves us, God doesn't love us because we love him.

Meaningless quote.
What the fuck is the deal with this country? It's a Romance speaking country surrounded completely by Serbs (and dirty Magyars), is no where near close to the heart of the Roman Empire, yet call their country "the land of the Romans", and is pretty much the only place where East Romance languages are spoken.
Why do they still speak a Romance language? Why did they speak one to begin with? Why is their country name so blatant for a backwater land?
Romania is the only true heir to the Roman Empire.
Truly the Mexicans of Europe.

Let's be honest; Hungary needed to be trimmed down. I just dont understand why Trianon gave Slovakia and Serbia a shit ton of land where Hungarians lived, when it was touching the hungarian border.
Was it just spite? Not going to touch on Szekelysobbgspifsland or whatever.
Fossil fuels are the greatest thing that ever happened to humanity
>humanity
Only a part, a certain economically well off humanity. Another (larger) rather considerably large part still doesn't "participate" in the benefits of the massive rise in labor productivity that fossil fuels allow for.

Goddamn do I love natty. Literally the best energy source in the world.

What is the greatest dynasty in European history?
>>455948
Without specifying what would qualify "greatness?"
Hard to argue with the Hapsburgs, I guess.
Habsburg
Capet
Hohenzollern
Carolingian
Ottoman (not European per se, but a part of European history like you said)
>>455984
Speaking of Carolingian, how did they lose all their power so quickly?
Hey /his/,
Why do we still continue to use a non-existent human construct to define the way we behave and think.
Morality is the enemy of efficiency and will slow the progression of our species.
The whole basis of behaving and thinking according to our feelings is the one of humanity's greatest flaws.
Can someone prove me wrong?
>>474866
>morality
Not our problem mate. We do ethics and power and the past as it essentially happened here. For morality go over to /pol/, they handle the "ought"s.

Fuck off mate. Off-topic. Fuck off to where it is on-topic or one of the off-topic boards.
We handle "is" around here, not "ought." That's why we're >actually intelligent.
