When I hit my head and stumbled into a church and listened to the pastor while I was bleeding from my scalp and my head ringing and IT ALL MADE SENSE turquoise radishes unicorns greenly JESUS IS GOD! HE DIED FOR MY SINS! PRAISE JEBUS!

During the Civil War many members of Lincoln's cabinet had sons or relatives die, Lincoln had his son off to war in a very safe support role.

>>2948722
Well Hitlers nephew did fight in WWII, just against him lol, not sure if that counts.

Teddy Roosevelts son died in WWI after his plane was shot down, apparently the madman was surrounded by Germans after crashing his plane and shot the Officer with his sidearm before getting cut down himself. At least thats how the story goes, not sure how true it is to be honest

>>2948735
There was also another Hitler's cousin that got captured by Red Army. I forgot his name but he was tortured and killed during imprisonent.

>>2948335
Because we largely rooted out the political ideologies that caused WWII, but we allow Islam to continue because it's a "religion" and not an "ideology".

ww2 was the last war where total victory was a thing, meaning complete annihilation of a given state's structure. Now a days, especially with the influence of atomic bombs, people are a little hesitant to cross the line like that. The result is a bunch of half ass proxy wars

Because we made the Japanese and Germans give up their religion.

If we de-Islamfied Afghanistan it would work too, but then it would be called genocide.

China is doing it today but the west calls it hate crimes.

ROC is best C

>tfw 25 year precludes from showing best PLA uniforms

ROC army is now Amerishit 100%, Americans ruin military discipline with their lax standards and unprofessionalism.

Sometimes I look at JSDF and I just cry tears, why do Americans lack understanding of aesthetics and beauty?

>>2948370
ROC is degenerated and poisoned by forced diversity, multiculturalism and lgbt degeneracy. ROC already lost their mandate of heaven. ROC is doomed! I welcome PRC to take over here and save us from fag marriage.

It doesn't affect me or my kind.

why do you care about neocolonialism when it is dwarfed by the amount of car accidents and cancer deaths and drowning accidents ?

>>2948248
Because it forces them to admit they're the bad guys.

>>2948159
Because there was a severe disconnect between the material resources necessary to prosecute the war, and the willingness to fight said war; while economically and militarily, the U.S. could have kept up the war indefinitely and easily have expanded its presence, there was significant popular backlash against such a move, which was seen as pointlessly pouring blood and treasure into a jungle shithole that didn't even want us there.

>>2948159
the media fucked it up, the rise of liberalism and liberal media made everyone antiwar and any war was equated to muh hitler or ww2. and its been that way ever since

nice thread faggot

>>2947925
fuck off and actually create discussion.

This is neither history nor humanities. It's just you complaining.

This isn't the place for complaining. Please help keep /his/ clean from meta threads, generals and /pol/content.

Thank you.

Try reading a book. They generally cover a lot more than documentaries and are not as superficial

Also if you want suggestions you might want to specify which topic you want to learn about

>>2948405
Pretty much this. Documentaries aren't really that informative or enlightening.

>>2947907
Read a fucking book

>their old alphabet

Linear B isn't an alphabet

>How the hell did they even make contact with each other? Didn't Greeks see them as hostiles?

No, Phoenicians founded emporiums on Euboea and Crete, and Euboean Greeks were members of mixed Phoenician/Greeks crews during the initial waves of colonizations of the Central Mediterranean in the late 9th/early 8th century bc

>How the FUCK did they even communicate?? They spoke two completely different languages!!

Some learned the others' language, like I'm doing now to communicate with you

>>2947848
Do you not get how a society works? Greeks traded with Phoenicians. It's hard to trade with people who don't speak your language, so they found someone who had learned both languages, and used them as a translator. No group of people, least of all the entirely disuntied Hellenes, saw any other entire group of people as hostiles. Not every single greek hated every single Phoenician. Intermarriage and constant trade was an ever-present aspect of life in the eastern Mediterranean. For random galley slave #24601, it might be easier to learn the simply alphabetic script of Phoenician than the more complex linear B, though that in itself is a gross oversimplification.

Thales of Miletus was of Phoenician descent, so intermixing and intermarriage was certainly happening as late as in 6th century BC.

shameless bump

can somebody help

Imagine a line of hundred people. Now I will tell the farthest left person a story and ask him to paraphrase that story and tell it to the person next and have that person tell the person to his right and so on. Now suppose each person says the same thing at roughly 90% of the original message (since they're paraphrasing it).

Imagine that it took an hour to get from the starting point to the end point. By the end of the line, what the person paraphrases will be something thats completely different from what I've initially told the first person.

There's a children's game that people play, its called the "Chinese whispers". Its basically the same thing.

This thing isn't unique by to art or language. Its a natural thing.

But the point is, at what point would you be able say "its what I told" and at what point would you say its an influence? The answer is, the first person I told would be the influence, maybe even the third or the fifth. But by 6-10th, the change would be great enough to be called another style completely. Atleast in our selfish perception. I say selfish, because we want to give these generational changes a substantial self so as to differentiate it from another substantial self. If we had a bigger picture lying around, you'd see that even my own original story wouldn't be an original story, but rather it would be a generational story thats combination of may factors. Still the substantial self identity allows us to think that there's a "huge" difference between the two sets of "solid" identities that we have now established over the 6th+ onward derivations. By the end of the 100th person, there would have been significant amount of substantial self-identities among the rank. If we assume every 10 person, another identity arises, then there would be 10 different identities.

So the evolution of art and influences are gradual and with enough distance/time/change, it will become its own thing.

>Cultural racism
What?

>>2947583
All racism is justifiable. """POC""" hate """"whites""" just add much as the other way around. The problem is white and colored are not races, its a false duality to weaken both sides. Almost all people have lost their racial culture, and what is interpreted as modern racism is just rage against this false system. You speak English and you sunburn? You must be from Whitistan.

An American black has more in common with an American white them an African black. An Italian American has more in common with a Latino than a Greco-Sicilian. Immigration has us all fucked up.

A better depiction of a Hellenistic occupying force would be to depict them as overly clean, snooty and covered in shiny shit.

Galatian mercenaries flaunting their wealth with their clothing and armour. Bright colours, metal trinkets, you name it.
Definitely no frayed, unwashed clothing. No self-respecting occupying force would stoop to such levels, they can use their subjects to clean that shit for them.

For the inaccuracy to be egregious does that mean it has to lack a valid excuse? For example, the vast majority of portrayals of fire arrows in films are inaccurate - but since they're used because they look cool it doesn't generally trigger me.

Because of a man named Stanislav Petrov who saved the world.

Communism is an inherently inefficient system so the war was never about defeating the Soviet Union but instead just waiting for their artificially imposed system to collapse on its own.

Also don't let the Preußen-pasta fool you. There was unemployment and massive problems at work and in the inner cities.
