You're dropped into one of: UK, Germany, Russia, Japan or America as a general in 1942. How quickly can you win the war?

Obviously, and for good reasons.
Now ask if society favors women.

Is introversion a genetic defect then?

no actually, since extroverts are retards and ultimately they all end up being normie wageslaves
society unfortunately favours sick jewish sociopaths who are anything but extroverted

>Most Muslims fleeing to other countries are fleeing because other Muslims have taken over
Has there ever been anytime in history when citizens fled because their own religion took over? I can only think of Protestants fleeing Catholicism, but that was on a much smaller scale

How do civilizations get to the point where they become completely oblivious to the fact that they are "the baddies"? I'm not trying to bait, and as such, will put a ban on talking about Germany in this thread as you children can't help yourselves from role-playing not having a moral compass.
That out of the way, can we have an intelligent discussion about how a county's population can achieve a state where they don't think it means anything that all their neighbors look at them with a raised eye?

Normalization and controlled media.
Normalization process takes few decades to take root. Controlled media then implants this new view or reality to the normalized people.

One could look at the current year's favorite bad guy: the white male. Everyone except themselves seems to believe that they are to blame for all the world's problems. Now, why might white men see themselves as the good guy instead of agreeing with the general consensus? Probably because the white men see every other group for what they are: usurpers of the civilization that white men built.

What was the most fucked up/scary/creepy part of WWII? No easy shit like the Holocaust, I'm talking about lesser known occurrences.
For me it's gotta be the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. I'm a lifelong fisherman with a love for sharks, but this shit makes me shudder.

Were American negroes still being opressed in 20th century or were they uplifted by the white society?
Is it not true that in Africa they would live a primitive life and under a harsher rule of their king? Is it not true that that filling their belly would be a much harder task there?
I see no opression just inequality.

>White society
What white society? Italians and Irish were huge ethnic groups despite not being considered white for decades. You can't just say "they're better off here" because without western powers Africa would be much different, so we don't really know if they'd be better off. And even though American blacks live better than most Africans that doesn't excuse literally rounding people up like cattle and forcing them to work.

Pretty much. They were primarily designed for a sort of war that tended not to actually happen very often, nor be decisive when it did. Contrary to Mahan's assertions, control of the sea is more often decided by ability to project force widely, not deeply. Battleships were so rarely worth the amount of resources necessary to contstruct them, that it would be impossible to justify their actual employment, and you see a lot of their use was sitting around in port attempting to intimidate an adversary rather than fight real war.
>>
>>2871973
Consider this scenario. Assume this takes place in the early 1900's. You're an aspiring naval power. You have a rival power who you expect to be at war with a some point in the future. You decide NOT to build any battleships, whereas your rival does decide to build them. What now? You're pretty much fucked because the rival power can just roll up his battleships and shell your coastal cities with impunity. Either that, or he'll just blockade you and then you can't do anything at all.

>>2872020
This, it was a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. I would say for the most part lighter cruisers and destroyers were the way to go, but you had better have a few battleships on hand.

Saw his country get colonized even though his predecessors carved out alliances and established routes to modernization.
Failed at every attempt to build his empire

Got killed by commies after Somalia nearly annexed the east of his empire, which was was again established by his predecessors.

Why is it that some people think that paganism, specifically what they learn from games like D&D and Elder Scrolls, is superior to religions that have lots of actual spirituality and thousands of years worth of history, literature, and art like Christianity, Islam, and Judaism?

What makes you think pre-Christian/pre-Islamic (paganic) religions) lack "actual" spirituality or years worth of history, literature, and art?
If there's a shortage of it in the modern day, you can thank your iconoclastic buddies who made it a hobby to destroy anything associated with paganism during the 4th - 5th centuries.
