What the fuck are all these inland lakes doing in North Africa?
Why don't you support socialism and mass murderers, /his/? (&) Humanity was a mistake, who doesn't want to end it? Objectively speaking, it's undeniable. The bad things humans did far outweighs the good.

So lets talk about this What is the history behind it? Is this more valid than giving them land in Palestine?

Jews have no right to my land, they can fuck right off back to wherever in the desert they come from.

In a lot of towns east of Warsaw Jews made up between 1/3 to about half of the population. The thing is while they were Jews they were also poles.
They had every right to settle in Poland, but a Jewish state a la Israel wasn't a option. In part because poles after ww2 really disliked Jews. Like a lot.
It is funny how some Jews demand from Polish goverment to give them free houses because, as they claim, they belonged to their ancestors, while 90% of these houses looked like pic related, and had to be rebuilded by labour and money of Poles
>Some Pole was butthurt enough that he wrote an entire section about ''misconceptions''

Poles did nothing wrong, being sandwiched between Russians and Germans is the worst possible nightmare.
>>2875710
Poland is a """"""Nation"""""" that shouldn't even exist.

the problem with Peterson's philosophy is that it hasn't had that great of a track record in keeping hyper-predators at bay or empowering the poor
and calling environmentalists "extremists" when the oceans are acidifying and our urban environments are shortening our telomeres is just plain stupid
why doesn't he just say he's an atheist
>>2875729
>>2875692
another thing, Peterson is a terrible Marx scholar and the "not truly communist" joke is intellectual laziness

from "On The Question of Free Trade" speech in 1848
"But, generally speaking, the Protective system in these days is conservative, while the Free Trade system works destructively. It breaks up old nationalities and carries antagonism of proletariat and bourgeoisie to the uttermost point. In a word, the Free Trade system hastens the Social Revolution. In this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, I am in favor of Free Trade."
if you actually read Marx you'd understand that he was probably capitalism's greatest advocate
>Finally, Dr. Li says, Mao believed in the Daoist lore that sexual activity leads to longevity, or, at least, the Daoist lore "gave him an excuse to pursue sex not only for pleasure but to extend his life."
"By the early 1960's, as his power rose to new heights, he rarely complained about impotence," Dr. Li writes. "At the height of the Cultural Revolution in the 1960's, he and Jiang Qing were sexually estranged, but Mao had no problems with the young women he brought to his bed -- their numbers increasing and their average ages declining as Mao attempted to add years to his life according to the imperial formula."

Stavka thought its gutted officer core and poorly trained as well as inadequately equipped military could fight Deep Battle in Eastern Finland, a land full of forests, swamps, chest-deep snows and only a few serviceable roads.
To be realistic, its just hard to invade
unless the person you are invading has a country that is just a colossal mattress that is constantly room temperature.
Which ancient world heritage sites are for losers?
I always feel bad for those destroyed ruins in muslim countries but then I remember that it's a muslim country. All will be destroyed sooner or later with all those radical destructive ideologies dominating the region from time to time.

why is Masada "for losers" Anon. the Sicarii achieved their final solution.
For some reason every single person I meet who has been to machu pichu is always either some "citizen of the world" or otherwise trendy hippy traveler free spirit assmunch.
Let's discuss one of the biggest continents' history, because after all, we all come from there
That's a mosque, not a university, in its current format it was built in the 19th century. It's 500 miles away from Timbuktu, on the other side of the country.
Timbuktu didn't have a university in the traditional sense, that's just a modern catch-all term. It was more like the scholarly traditions of three different mosques started to collaborate and share information.
I've actually been trying to find some good information on African.
Are there any good books out there about the Ethiopian Empire and other prosperous East African empires?
Additionally, I've been trying to find some good books about Sub-Saharan Africa and see why it didn't perform as well as other nations in Africa. My initial belief is that the Sahara basically put them in a bubble cut off from the rest of the world as well as having an environment that isn't immediately well cultivatable without some significant technological advancement.

I've always been curious why West Africa is always so overlooked compared the Eurasia? Admittedly, their empires were a lot smaller but they did accomplish a tremendous amount given their size.
So why is nudity and sexuality more taboo to show than brutal violence and arson?
Considering one can show someone being torn in half on tv or video game but a censor bar is throw at the image of a nipple and ratings are raise at the sight of humping.
>>2875269
Only in America, Land of the Free, it is not allowed show nipples.
>>2875323
I forgot to mention that but yeah even then tho
>>2875323
Ironically Europe is just as unreasonable about violence in media as America is unreasonable about sexual stuff
What is the agroument against death penalty when people pull ted bundy- tier shit?
>waking up every morning in a jail cell for the rest of your life

This.
Life in prison is worse than a few years locked up, a nice last meal and a swift, painless death.
>>2875288
No it isnt, sociopaths are immune to the mental torture prison causes because they are barely even human.
Two world wars would have been avoided if this piece of shit had not meddled in Austro-Hungarian affairs. The Serbs were deffending a terrorist, they brought it upon themselves, but this cunt had nothing to do with it.

Would the Carthaginians lasted longer if they hadn't backed Hannibal and instead focused on building an expansive trade empire?
I'm asking for a friend.
>>2875060
No, because they were outnumbered heavily by Italics
>>2875060
They lost the second punic war because they DIDN'T back Hannibal. Had they actually backed him, we'd be talking about how Rome got wiped off the map and it's fields salted.
>>2875063
But they had also claimed the Iberian Peninsula and the Strait of Gibraltar, so I'm not convinced that the Roman "strength in numbers" is the best argument
>lmao dude let's go pick a fight and probably die horribly
