Was he autistic?
>>3194778
Every quote I read from him is maximum edge, so probably.
>>3194791
He had three sons who were combat pilots during the war. Whenever one of them died, he became more unhinged. When the third one went down, he became absolutely obsessed with destroying the Entente by any means necessary.
>>3194778
he became Varg-tier after WWI, so I think its safe to say yes
So does /his/ think Austria-Hungary was justified in declaring war on Serbia? Why or why not?

How did Rwanda bully the Congo into submission? Why are the Congo wars so overlooked?
The First Congo was what happens when you dedicate your entire career to destroying the small amount of political infrastructure that your country has and then salting the earth so that none can ever grow again after you.

Why are the native people of the US one of the only peoples almost completely wiped out by colonialism?
>South/Central America and Mexico full of mestizos
>Africa is Africa
>Abos
>Pacific Islanders still have tribes people
Britain sent fully formed families to live in the colonies, there was no need for Natives.
Spain sent armies to conquer the colonies, the men took their wives from among the natives and they eventually learned to get along
>>3194514
those other colonial powers didn't have any Destiny to Manifest
>>3194522
>they eventually learned to get along
"no"
Thoughts on this new study? It says there's a genetic link between Minoans and Mycenaeans, and that modern Greeks are effectively descendants of the Minoans.

Stop the fucking presses.
There's something I've always found disturbing about full plate armor, not all plate armor just one specific type, just the looks of it,Iron in the shape of men, the more unique and misshapen the amour the more fearful I am of it. This "fear" isn't like a fear of the dark or spiders, its more looking on as new species of life is created before your very eyes kind of "fear", amazed and intrigued yet fearful of this new species, but all in one. A certain armour in particular is the cause of this, I've once seen it used in a painting of a wedding during medieval times, I know not the name of such armor as of this moment, but the vibe I was getting off of the painting was "death" or "inevitable loss", I don't have the painting or any copies of the painting but I can describe it. A ginger haired woman wearing a white wedding dress ending at her feet in the arms of a man in Knight attire (the plate armour in question) with all but his head encased, plenty a golden brown leaf scattered the painting (the season was likely autumn) with around four men on either side, some had their sword drawn, resting their hands on the cross guard or pommel, others just standing, but all looking on at the newly wedded couple.
Part 1/2
A second painting depicts the departure of the husband but completely encased in the iron shell that is his armour, from head to toe. Whilst his fellow brethren in belief and sword were leaving the castle in what looked to be a march stood and looked at his wife one last time before he left, at this point he looked indifferent from the other knights, helmet,shoulder guards, knee guards, everything but the rose in his hand, a gift from his wife as a farewell. His wife stood on the corner of the painting, facing opposite the onlooker (you or I) towards her love, hands looking to be rested on her pelvic region, lady in waiting comforting her as her husband looks on at her through the slit in the steel bucket. nowadays I associate that armor with sobbing and grief, in my eyes the painting portrays the final moments of a free noble before he condemned himself to the horrors of the field, with his final moments he spent it with his love in the form of a wedding, and as he looked upon her one last time with a rose in hand he knew he wouldn't see her again, for a military campaign in autumn would likely last till winter, if the battle didn't kill him the hunger or the cold would. And then there's the thing where he is unrecognizable besides the rose showing that no mater who they were, where they came from or what they did previous to this call to arms, death would reap them of their soul and leave nothing but one of many, indifferent iron caskets.

Jesus, OP. You okay?

I'm fine, its just that I thought on this odd fear I had towards that armour type, the post was the end result
Did Persians even call themselves "Pars" before the Arab invasion or during the Arab invasion? AFAIK Arabs called them Fars because the letter P does not exist in Arabic so they couldn't spell Pars.
Persians now call themselves Fars by the way

Poor guy just wanted to be left alone to play with his locks
Was he /r9k/: the king?
>>3194223
He didn't want gf
>>3194206
No he didn't. Louis XVI wanted to be an absolute monarch. If he truly didn't care about that, he would have accepted the revolution, and might have kept his head. He wasn't weak, as he is sometimes depicted.

Why don't you try and build something in a populated area full of war for 4,000 years and see how long it lasts?
"Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
Does this mean the collapse of capitalism?
>>3194128
>europe
>capitalist
>>3194128
No, it just means your society will collapse unless your governments start promoting family values and encourage reproduction. Before one of you even say muh migrants, no. That will make Europe collapse even more.
