Looks like Coptic iconography to me. What's wrong with it?

But the South Africans out of anybody should have been able to understand the plight of the Rhodesians
Why did they abandon them?

>>356746
South Africa did give them support, but didn't recognize them as a state because they wanted to maintain good ties with the UK.

Why would you go back to a people who didn't want you back?

>>356686

it literally was though

>>356678
Well Persia had been an Empire since the late 2nd millenium BC's Median Empire until the mid 1900s.
With the exception of during its time under the Greeks, Arabs, Mongols, Tamerlane, and if you wanna be technical a Turkish dynasty.
That's still ~2000 years as a territorial empire.

saying the word spiritual has too many socially constructed implications. But yeah i would say something huge exists beyond our sensory perception

>>356669
slim to none
humans are a species that only have existed in a very small fraction of the entirety of the universe and the planets history

they likelihood decreases as we come to realized that although we are an amazing feat of evolutionary change, we aren't all that, thus are precognitive believes that can't be empirically tested tend not to hold water when it comes to reality.

What does determinism even mean?

literally nothing

>>356590
>the doctrine that all events, including human action, are ultimately determined by causes external to the will. Some philosophers have taken determinism to imply that individual human beings have no free will and cannot be held morally responsible for their actions.

It doesn't matter to the majority of people. We have free will sufficient enough for people's everyday whims to fulfill the idea of free will.

Of course. God-emperor Doug was fucking invincible.

This guy gets it.

Spiritual decay really.

Where it was a deliberated choice, it was for the advantages of literacy.

Christianity, as with all religions, started in one tiny place, when the rest of the earth was populated by a wildly marvelous diversity of religious beliefs—and yet, curiously enough, the concept of warfare over religious differences was virtually nonexistent. Most people in ancient times believed it was proper to respect the gods of other peoples. This changed on a global scale when Christianity was spread, quite literally, by the sword. Those who attempted to assert their religious differences were harassed, tortured, robbed of their land and belongings, even killed. Before it achieved political power, Christianity was a small sect, a heresy against the Jewish faith, that had to accept equality among all the other religions of the Roman Empire. Yet it was the first religion to openly attack the religions of other people as false (the Jews, at least, were a little more tactful). Needless to say, Christianity only truly flourished when it had the ability to eliminate the competition—when it had the full support of Rome’s Emperors after 313 A.D., and when, in 395 A.D., every religion other than Christianity was actually outlawed. Through force and decree Christianity was immersed in the cultural surroundings of lands near and far, and in an environment where it was widely accepted, if not the only thing accepted, it spread and planted itself among subjugated peoples. As kids grew up taking Christian ideas for granted, they often did not realize that only a few generations ago those ideas were entirely alien.

the more interesting question is if the zimmerman telegram was intercepted or manufactured, imo

>>356420
Mexico wouldn't have helped out anyway. America outnumbered, outgunned, and out spent Mexico in every possible category, and the Mexican government knew it.

anybody else thing the zimmerman telegram was a false flag type deal? why on earth when germany want to extened the war when they were getting their asses kicked?

Muh Nordic heritage *has 3 chins*

Vikings were the ghetto rats of their time. Discuss.

No. That's older than Proto-Indo-European itself.

The Mongols successfully invaded Russia, I don't see why ISIS couldn't do it.

Well they collapsed so I guess you could say it didn't, if anything they got BTFO even faster by America because they landed on the moon and had their missile defense program

>>356315
The Chechens actually won one war against Russia.

Tiger tanks were not common.

1 Panzer 4, the most common tank, is work 1 Sherman, roughly.

1 Tiger probably is worth 4 Shermans, if the Tiger wants to work that day.

>>356284
Kind of. It also had to do with the daily bombings absolutely wrecking the manufacturing capabilities.

So yes the plan was to throw 5 shermans at a tiger with two in front and sending the rest around the side. Generally at least one would make it to the rear and be able to get a kill shot. So statistically, 1 tiger is worth 4 shermans in an engagement.

But the means to produce Tiger tanks was limited to begin with and was only getting more difficult to produce while Shermans and T34s were being cranked out uninterrupted. So while a tiger may be able to take out 4 shermans, when it was killed it was far harder to replace.

Germany could never attack the production capabilities of the allies and theirs were always vulnerable. They were doomed the moment Barbarossa stalled.

>German engineering really that fucking amazing

Not really, they made everything too complex which made things more prone to errors and harder to repair/manufacture

Even if they had superior tanks they didn't have enough oil to run them, and they ran out of pilots(and fuel) which left the tanks venerable to allied air support

>>356273
One of the basic tenets of anarchism is that people aren't animals

That's why they shouldn't be oppressed

>>356296
Why should people have the right to opress animals though?
What makes a man better than a horse?

>>356296
Sounds like some kind of extended racism
