Fuckin roasties why are they so shit
I know nothing about philosophy, so what philosophers is good to start with?
>>3044643
you could start by not being a nigger but to quote a bunch of dumb faggots
>start with the greeks
Plato and then Aristotle
>>3044643
The older the philosophies the easier they are to understand even if you don't believe in them. The more modern the more confusing and convoluted it gets, you'll find yourself eventually arguing adamantly against the author while you're reading.
So start with ancients like Socrates or Confucius and keep going until you're butthurt.
I started with the Philosophize This! Podcast and it's pretty good to get an overview of things.
>he thinks Hiroshima was meant to intimidate Russia
I remember my first history class.
Nobody thinks that
And who are you quoting
>>3044633
American?
>>3044633
what
One man vs an ENTIRE EMPIRE
How did he do it, guys?
mainly by exploiting a political situation that was already explosively volatile before he arrived. Even if the Spanish hadn't set foot in Mexico when they did the Aztecs were facing a major Totonac uprising that had the potential to topple the triple alliance.
but also this>>3044536 and access to vastly superior arms and armor
Being one of the most cunning and motivated motherfuckers that ever existed on this earth.
Keep in mind, he suffered from animosity coming from fellow Spaniard. Before even began to carve into Mexico, there was an attempt mutiny by men loyal to governor of Cuba. Later on during his march, there other Spaniards were sent from Cuba to reign in Cortez, and in one brilliant night attack he ended up with more men under his banner.
>history major
>can't find job
>spend my time arguing with retards on this board about the same topics everyday
At least you're educated.
>>3044468
At least you could vote.

>mfw the only thing I'm passionate about is history but the degree is useless so I have to choose a joyless career for the rest of my life.
Could it be possible that Adam and his immediate descendants were the first members of the genus Homo/the first toolmakers?
>>3044460
No, Adam lived 5-7 thousand years ago depending on the translation. Homo appeared 2 million years ago.

Ledi jaw (LD 350-1)pushed the date back to ~2.8 mya.

I believe parts of the bible are truths that have been mangled over thousands of years of storytelling (great flood was actually ice caps melting that oral tradition transformed into a biblical story, for instance) but earliest man didn't have the capacity for this
Are there any good critiques of democracy without all the ancap autism?
>>3044453
Isn't hoppe a monarchist?
>>3044453
Policy is often made by those that are uniformed.
>>3044453
But this book is literally a perfect critique of democracy. The first few chapters aren't even about anarcho-capitalism and moreso about the flaws of democracy.
So, I'm thinking about using Ancestry.com to find out about my family tree, maybe even using their DNA test to see exactly where my family's from.
What're your experiences with Ancestry.com and other services like it? Which is the best?
Where are you from?
>>3044440
Ancestry for family tree, 23andMe for DNA.
My mom did one a few months ago. Her stats were:
39% Italy/Greece
13% Iberian Peninsula
13% Europe West
7% Native American
6% Ivory Coast/Ghana
5% Nigeria
3% Ireland
3% Senegal
2% Mali
2% Scandinavia
2% Europe East
2% Mali
2% Africa North
<1% Africa South/Central
<1% Benin/Togo
<1% Finland/Northwest Russia
Total:
73% European
20% African
7% Native American
Guess what country she was born in.
>>3044462
Jesus Christ. Brazil?
ITT: Draw historical events poorly and see if people can guess them
>>3044341
Henry the eighth?
>>3044360
Yup. Specifically, Anne Boleyn's miscarriage.
>>3044341
>the fucking plague doctor
Alright, /his/, it's time to figure this out once and for all. Who was behind the Kennedy assassination, and why was Lee Harvey Oswald killed afterwards?
>>3044331
Rothschild's, mafia, Lyndon Johnson
they killed Oswald to keep his trap shut
I did
>>3044331
My theory: Oswald missed, an agent panicked and shot Kennedy by accident
>hes still wasting time studying boring shit like 1600s Dutch empire or some literally who roman emperor instead of post colonial african history
explain yourself
>>3044278
>he only studies instead of living the fun operational stuff there himself right now
>>3044278
But I am studying it as well.
Hijacking this thread. Any recommended books for a burger who doesn't know shit about Africa?
Wtf was his problem?
He wanted to train the best goddamn company of paratroopers the world ever saw.
Also he was a shit field commander.
>>3044271
Maps
>>3044271
I think he shot himself
Has there ever been a society in history that faced a demographic crisis like Europe?
>>3044229
nazi germany
Modern Japan is worse than most of Europe in this regard.
>>3044229
Polish people's fertility is actually quiet high, and they're one of the youngest ethnic groups in Europe.
Too bad most of them don't live in Poland itself.
Guess that'll change as its economy improves.
Why is no one referencing to them as "East Asians" instead of inaccurate words like: "Asians" or "Orientals" ?
>>3044117
Mongoloids
Both Asian and Oriental are correct. They live in Asia and Oriental literally means "Eastern".
>>3044131
Yes but that includes Arabs, Aryans, Austronesians, Turks...
precolonial africa general
>>3043982
Well this has been an informative thread. See you all next time!
>>3043982
daily reminder: muslims are a blight on our continent
do not trade with them
do not work in their sea vessels
do not sell them slaves or gold
(also aren't mutapa and the coastal east kingoms native african states or they were msulim colonies? is the map outdated?)
>>3043982
>Nobody talks about Sokoto
Talk about Sokoto.
