Nationalism never went anywhere, a lot of Western countries today have big nationalist parties, and nationalist rhetoric has to be used to some extent by mainstream politicians. Even Lenin realised how deeply ingrained nationalism is into people's pysches, it's not just a 'bourgeios delusion' or whatever Marx said about it.

If you mean full blown inter-war levels of nationalism in the West, then I cant see that happening any time soon but who knows.

And even without them nationalism is everywhere.
Even people who are not politically nationalist are still nationalist because they identify with and believe in the idea of a Nation and most people also believe their national myths, such as exceptionalism being the most common.

Spooky as fuck and it never went anywhere.

First, see this >>441785

Then, stop thinking nationalism means war. Nationalism in the 19-20th century was particularly bloody because it meant overthrowing a logic existing since the very first civilizations, "sorting out" demographics and lots of nations seeking emancipation. Now that that is over, I think the nationalist world order is ultimately more stable because it's not ever-growing like empires of the past. However, there's a certain danger to pushing for globalization and letting a big amount of immigrants in while the nationalist logic is still fundamental.

Also, Canada is a non-country.

There were some cool ships but most of them sank thanks to pirates and stuff. I once saw a cool Spanish ship not sure what it was called but it looked cool.

Also, Black Flag was a decent game.

The thing is, most of the stuff he got right is seen as so "obvious" now that it seems trivial.

Freud popularized the idea that childhood traumas can effect behavior later in life.

How controversial are we talking here?

Is it "Trannies aren't as widespread as people think they are and the practice should be discouraged" controversial or "GAS THE KIKES, RACE WAR NOW" controversial?

>so Russia is referred to as the "motherland" right?
only in english
in russian, the country would be otechestvo, which has roots from the same word as father, or rodina, meaning birthplace

Philosphy majors are easily triggered.

I found out that george III was rumored to have said

"if he does so, he will be the greatest of man"

in reference to George Washington choosing to not exceed his two terms as president (which he could have done easily)

Also, there was a planned military coup that the continental army wanted washington to lead and march on congress (basically making himself king)

Washington shut it down

Yes, Elizabeth I inspired Blackadder II after which the show stopped being okay and started being brilliant.

Find a French scientist or engineer, give him the chemistry book and the pistol so he could reverse engineer it, watch as Napoleon comes to dominate Europe in a few months. Also give Napoleon the Tom Cruise bio for manlet motivation.

Drop the Tom Clancy book in any good library in an English speaking country to warn them against the dangers of communism and Marxism.

Get the business book to Russia so they'll learn about markets and gradually liberalize their economy and society.

The clothes would look pretty alien for 1800. Nothing much to do with them. Just drop them off at a shipyard or workshop somewhere so they can use the fabric for something practical. I guess the raincoat and survival accessories could be used by explorers somewhere, but in 1800 all the important spots have been discovered already.

Energy bars... No idea. Maybe drop them off in Haiti so they could use the extra calories to fend off French and Yankees?

What about the Kabbalah's edgy? Ain Soph? Mezla? Metatron? The Sephira?

>teens
I don't know a single person under the age of 22 that has a good grasp on Kabbalah, even the kids who DO study it as teens.

>Jewaboos
The late Hermetic iterations of Kabbalah really have little to do with Judaism other than like gematria and the structure of the Tree.

According to Derrida, nothing exists outside the text, so you can justify a belief by the scientific method or by kabbalah and you're equally justified in believing it either way. There's no such thing as real wisdom, it's all a play.

It's nonsense, its an esoteric interpritation of the torah, basically they just making shit up. There is ''self help'' shit attached to it, similar to hermeticism, in the end it's either just a novelty or a path to foolishness nigga.

Neither, it's because they had better nutrition than the Romans because many of them were hunter gatherers or pastoralists, and agricultural societies were always shorter and more malnourished.

Romans had just as much Neanderthal ancestry as the Germanic tribes, and having that ancestry wouldn't have made them taller since Neanderthals were shorter than Sapiens.

no. it was because their diet was based on fish, meat and dairy products like southern europe's was on wheat.

What makes you think other Europeans didn't mate with neanderthals?
