Well, "real" communism is supposed to be anti-colonialist.
>also what was his non-aligned policy about?
The basic concept of non-alignment is that you don't want to be married to either the USSR or the USA. The idea is that you want to preserve your independence, without becoming a puppet for either side.

Basically non-aligned movement was a buffer zone of sort during Cold War, through which both sides could arrange espionage and info on each other without firing up tensions.
Tito was welcomed by the West as a rogue communist and a possible foot in the door for infiltrating Eastern Bloc. Once the Cold War ended and tensions diminished, there was no reason for Yugoslavia to exist anymore.

Are there any writers or sophists who make a point of having really preposterous rhetoric and just being openly hypocritical and an all around shameless asshole? I need to perfect this art.

Do you mean Trump? I suppose. But I meant more someone who parodies intellectualism. Maybe Lacan is a good example? I don't know much about him other than he's an absolute madman.

cicero and tacitus are both pretty great in the ways they build up their hyperbole to make a point, but a lot is lost in translation of you don't have good annotations or a good professor

Apathy toward the most important question off all time is the best approach to it?

>>2993436
It's not the most important question off all time if you're apathetic toward it, is it?
>>
>>2993436
From apatheists point of view the question is does anything change if god is real. Since the answer is no then it doesent even matter if it excists.

What historical events/would you like to see Hollywood tackle that hasn't already?
I would love to see movie about Polish experience in WW2. Poland lost almost 9 or 10 million people in war, only 3 million were Jews, yet the only big WW2 movies set in Poland are about muh holocaust.

How were the mamluk and janissaries different in "recruitment", social standard, was contact with back home allowed? Were all converted to Islam in both organizations?

Mamluks were trained then manumitted by their master, whereas Janissaries were lifelong slaves I believe. Mamluks in the Mamluk Sultanate could not only become Sultan but were also the major Amirs, who in turn could own, raise, and lead their own army of Mamluks.
The Janissaries belonged to the Ottoman Sultan only, and were not elevated to the ranks of governors or princes, I think.

He found in Java a piece of
a skull, seeming by its contour to be smaller than the human. Somewhere
near it he found an upright thigh-bone and in the same scattered fashion
some teeth that were not human. If they all form part of one creature,
which is doubtful, our conception of the creature would be almost
equally doubtful. But the effect on popular science was to produce a
complete and even complex figure, finished down to the last details of
hair and habits. He was given a name as if he were an ordinary
historical character. People talked of Pithecanthropus as of Pitt or Fox
or Napoleon. Popular histories published portraits of him like the
portraits of Charles the First and George the Fourth. A detailed drawing
was reproduced, carefully shaded, to show that the very hairs of his
head were all numbered No uninformed person looking at its carefully
lined face and wistful eyes would imagine for a moment that this was the
portrait of a thigh-bone; or of a few teeth and a fragment of a cranium.

We talk very truly of the patience of science; but in this department it
would be truer to talk of the impatience of science. Owing to the
difficulty above described, the theorist is in far too much of a hurry.
We have a series of hypotheses so hasty that they may well be called
fancies, and cannot in any case be further corrected by facts. The most
empirical anthropologist is here as limited as an antiquary. He can only
cling to a fragment of the past and has no way of increasing it for the
future He can only clutch his fragment of fact, almost as the primitive
man clutched his fragment of flint. And indeed he does deal with it in
much the same way and for much the same reason. It is his tool and his
only tool. It is his weapon and his only weapon. He often wields it with
a fanaticism far in excess of anything shown by men of science when they
can collect more facts from experience and even add new facts by
experiment. Sometimes the professor with his bone becomes almost as
dangerous as a dog with his bone. And the dog at least does not deduce a
theory from it, proving that mankind is going to the dogs–or that it
came from them.
What's preferable for History as a whole?
A: Lots of people knowing next to nothing about it but a few scholars who know a lot and a have a very accurate view of it, leaving the subject and knowledge mostly pure but limited to a very niche academic circle
B: The way it mostly is now with pop culture and popular history being the only source from which
most people know of history, with lots of deep inaccuracies abound and more people around tos pread these inaccuracies, but with more people as a whole knowing more of history in general, though inaccurate and limited as it is.

Are there any good books on the Edict of Expulsion of 1290? Preferably one that wasn't written by a Jew and doesn't lie or hide their horrible usury and child sacrifices.

According to the Probert Encyclopedia of Slang, Man O' War is London Cockney slang for a bore. But I don't know what meaning of "a bore" does it refer to. I'm not a native speaker and checked it in Google Translate and it gives me several meanings:
- a boring person
- a wire
- a clearance
- drilling
- something boring
- caliber
- a saw
- a vein
- a shaft/wall
Does anyone which meaning does this refer to?
