Will Rhodesians ever die ?
But it's dead already...
>>3372881
No there not
I genuinely don't understand why white nationalists and such love Rhodesia so much. For one, the state (let's for the sake of an argument say it's a state, even though for whatever reason the UN refused to acknowledge it) only lasted for 14 years. That is not a long enough time to know if the policies it set in place were viable in the long term. More importantly, a top-down system like the kind they kept in place was becoming more and more unsustainable when post-WW1 the world had placed so much emphasis on self-determination for the majority.
Is /lit/anon right?
From a cursory glance looks like the old technique of bringing up obscure occurrences on the hopes that no one else knows enough to be able to disprove it. For example, he mentions the Banu Qurazya but doesn't mention that they (supposedly) had broken a treaty with muhammad at the battle of the trenches.
Why? Not even trying to be argumentative. Have nothing against religion as a whole but I don't see any thorough case for it thats standing to serious scrutiny.

Why not?

Lets just take Christianity for example.
Biblical literalism is untenable for obvious reasons, but even if you take the interpretive method of the Orthodox and Catholics it still paints a negative picture of God. It shows a God that doesn't care too much about the integrity of his testament to man. The text is written by various different authors with different ideas about God, Satan, etc.
Him remaining silence for the vast majority of human history only to leave his first testament to an obscure tribe makes little sense. Neither does having a second universal testament that takes thousands of years to reach most of the globe.
Not to mention that modern scholarships paints the Bible as subject to contradictions, influences from other mythologies, etc just like any other religious text. Not to say the Bible is not unique in any way and doesn't contain some merit, but it does not strike the objective eye as something inspired from something otherworldly
Either you're a fundamentalist/literalist and you go full retard, or you're some eclectic cathodox type that still paints a puzzling picture more easily explained by it being full of shit than it coming from god, or you're some liberal moderately religious person that has left behind most of it.

Because society has become gradually more miserable since the idea that life is pointless and that we should just seek pleasure in the here and now.
I don't care if there's an afterlife or even a God that cares about us (though I faith in at least the latter), religion helps me get up and go to a job I hate and deal with the other shit life throws at us on a daily basis.
If God gave you a pardon to indulge in ONE of the seven deadly sins which one would it be?
>>3372596
Sloth or lust
On one hand I like doing absolutely nothing, on the other though I like jerking off like 6 times a day
>>3372596
One of the problems with sin is not only that of divine punishment, but that sins by itself are bad for you. They make you unhappier and a worse person.
Lust doesn't just mean "has lots of sex".
What is the fall?
Surely it can't mean that a talking snake convinced the first humans to eat of a fruit, thereby introducing death into the world. We know that one, snakes don't talk and two, death existed long before the human species appeared on the earth.
I'm guessing separation from God.
Original sin is just allegory for people can be cunts real easy, that's why you should work hard at being decent to others and shiet

hypothetical question
Why are so many people obsessed with the Knights Templar?
>>3372422
They were a Christian military order. That alone is reason enough for interest.
Americans think they were English (while they really were French)
And Americans are obsessed with English history (muh ancestors)
So Americans are obsessed with Templars, and since they're the cultural hegemon, everyone in their sphere of influence (The West + Japan) is obsessed with them as well

Europe has always been a democracy and forward thinking. Russia and the East is oriental thus its despotic, its evil, its tyrannical and its morally and culturally backwards. Despotism is inherently a Russian trait and a eastern trait. If something is authoritarian or a dictatorship its because its Russian in nature. Europe has always been enlighten and democratic and pluralistic.

i think you mean built by emperors who would nail people to a fucking cross
Westerners think we are great because we are compassionate and philanthropic, but we became the best through being ruthless cunts and then afterwards decided to be nice.

This isn't /b/ faggot, this is the history board.
What are some explanations for lack of Africa's development that do not include geography or access to natural resources? I feel like there is something a little more obvious that explains it all.
IQ
Development requires necessity. Lush environments, predictable weather patterns without major external forces or competition usually leads to nothing. Basic tribal societies.

At only 26 years old Alexander the Great walked triumphantly in the streets of Persepolis and you, you are a loser.
>>3372089
Attempting a feat that Alexander did in the information era is seemingly impossible. You may grow a powerful military but the sabotage by CIA/M16/Mossad assets runs the chances to a single digit percentage.

How the fuck are people able to read multiple books a week jesus christ I can't even finish a beloved novel in that span of time.
Being a History Masters was a mistake. Jesus christ all that money I wasted.

Back in undergrad all we did was read some few chapters.
It was usually the thesis that required whole reading of books.
