I'm tired of the memes and conjecture.

Were the Egyptians more like blacks, arabs, or whites?

Is there ANY legitimate research or proof that they were black in existence that hasn't been stifled by the dogmatic anti-race defining scientific community?

We have this huge thread yesterday.

They weren't black.
They weren't white
They weren't Arabs.

They were of the group that Arabs, Berbers and semites belong to belong to, before they splintered off. The modern Egyptian population is 90% the same as the ancient population according to genetics, history and language.

Staying home and reading a book.

Better railways
Better Mobilisation
Actually having a pre thought out plan of attack and defensive
Much better Artillery
A brilliant new general staff system
Better field tactics
A general understanding of the way warfare had changed in the last 20 years
Bismarck trolling the French into silly angry moves

Based Moltke commanded the army.

They won because of superior technology and drilling, Prussia had the most modern military in Europe.

Was Mao running camps like Hitler and Stalin or did his people just starve to death?
27 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
most of the deaths were just people starving to death but yeah, there were camps too
>>
>>316710
They literally starved to death. Mao was basically have this unrealistic expectations where everyone has to meet, and everyone is scared to report bad news since he'll punish them severely, so they made shit up.

So Mao, being pleased that his unrealistic expectations were met, made even more unrealistic expectations.

Then everyone died. The end.
>>
>>316724
By camps, you meant "collectivization" where people have to work for X thing they have no idea about right?

But the real heinous shit is in the Cultural Revolution, not the Great Leap Forward.

It didn't "fall to pieces". The principate had only just been established and was still in its formative period.

How come post JFK and up until J.W. Bush's second term american foreign policy was always against republic of India's geopolitical interests.

I've only seen americans say "yeah Nixon messed up partnering with PRC but Nehru fucked up first with his non aligned but pro socialist policies"

umm pro socialist values republic with a multi party democracy India is somehow more against american capitalistic interest than an outright Communist one party and at that point dictatorship China?

US gov. shot itself in the foot by underspending on influencing India into their sphere of Influence during cold war and countering the as a result funded hardliner expansionist and terrorist nations of China and Pakistan respectively.

What made Nixon so sure that if PRC can stab the soviets in the back in 1961 even though they shared state philosophy with them as a communist nation , what made him so sure that they won't do the same to USA in the future?

As for pakistan and its pet Taliban were raised by American aid and guess who did 9/11?

Why is it that when you judge the foreign policy decisions of the US they are so short sighted and morally bankrupt and if you discuss them with an american citizen all you get out of them is "well it was real politick" ?

It's legit actually, what Spinoza is doing is actually deconstructing Descartes and all the rest of those fucks in a way even Wittgenstein would've approved of.

Really it all comes down to the definition and application of the concept of "substance". And Spinoza is the only philosopher of his time to have a coherent one that is still relevant today.

How golden was really the "Islamic Golden Age"?

Fairly golden.

It was pretty good. Mostly confined to math, astronomy, and medicine, but you could just as easily call it a Persian golden age since they did most of the work.
>>
>>316026
It was alright. Basically Persians continued to have the same rate of advancement that they'd had for centuries, and also happened to be ruled by muslims.

Theoretically one is led by a select group of men, and the other is led by majority of its citizens.

So I guess it depends whichever has the least amount of prudes in its voting bloc.

"Half niggers and half Jews" pretty much.

>I don't see much future for the Americans ... it's a decayed country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem of social inequalities ... my feelings against Americanism are feelings of hatred and deep repugnance… everything about the behavior of American society reveals that it's half Judaized, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together?

Why is discrimination on the basis of religious belief often considered on-par with discrimination on the basis on race or cultural background or gender in terms of 'unfairness'?

You can't reasonably help any of the latter, so if someone doesn't consider you upon your individual merits and instead makes judgements upon you based upon considering you a typical _____ (black/white, man/woman, french/german) without knowing any better, then that's unfair.

But you can help which religious community your a member of, considering all the major religions in modern nations are open to converts. Even if you don't convert, you can just change your mind with respect to what you profess to believe, right?

Moreover, if religion is at some level a particular set of beliefs, and if you can't discriminate against someone for their knowledge and what they profess to believe in, then how can you have a meritocracy? Why is religious belief unique in this respect as compared with political belief or opinion or knowledge on any other topic?

It deals with transcendental issues such as the ultimate meaning of one's life and reality so it's a bit more sancrosanct than 'democracy lmfao'

it is choice also to not discriminate on the colour of the skin.

you are obviously non-religious, and yet you cast judgements on religionS by through clichés

you talk about knowledge without even having taken an epistemology class

you talk about meritocracy like a good little liberal.libertarian, and yet, after centuries of human rights, the liberals.libertarians remain unable to tell us what merit is.


in conclusion: you are bad at trolling, but the best part is that you think you are good, so it makes for quite a funny thread.
