The Rhodesian Bush War. It was a textbook counter-insurgency war and the military aspect of it is fascinating to study. But you can't bring it up without the tumblrites screaming you're a white nationalist racist for being interested or the /pol/kiddies wanking off to it way more than it deserves because it was their idealized version of a race war and because of the typical Lost Cause bullshit over Ian Smith.

But it was a modern day sodom.
With Jews or without, you had daily streetfights, drug and sex parties in the style of Ancient Rome and the exploration of unorthodox sexual practices (that's probably the reason why people think of modern day Germans as degenrate when it comes to sex)

>>1869493
That's fine, that's a perfectly acceptable dark side to discuss.

The problem comes in when people start blaming the Jews for everything and talking about how the Nazis were gud boys who dindu nuffin cleaning it up.

>>1869514

Well there were some artist (with Jewish heritage/who were Jewish) who promoted promoted this lifestyles, but not for some greater Jewish conspiracy but instead for just some fun and shekels.

Also that the nazis were "cleaning up" is also wrong. They were also big degenrates, but they kept the rabid dog on a leash, instead of letting him

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYBODY!

Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.

Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.

What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?

But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

The Troubles in NI.

I find it so interesting for several factors.

>The evolving of the IRA from "lets fight the brits to stop them oppressing Irish people in Ulster" to "Lets get the brits out of Ulster!" to "fucking kill protestants, lad"
>The British government and army higher-ups colluding with the RUC and the paramilitaries to bomb civilian areas/carry out internment
>Civilians recruited as informants leading double lives
>The state of Ulster leading up to it and the legacy left by it
>The splintering of the various paramilitaries into congo-style gangs post GFA who have to choose reasons for fighting like startup companies choosing a non-copyrighted name

Unforunately you can hardly talk about the troubles because of the following:
>Mention anything anti-British/Loyalist
>Unionists come in with revisionist posts
>Republicans and Plastic Paddies arrive with memes to trigger loyalists
>Discussion becomes a talk about a history of Irish being annoying little bastards to the English and Unionists getting constantly triggered

Israeli apartheid.

Seriously, you cannot discuss this topic without being called "antisemitic", getting banned or downvoted to oblivion on most major media platforms.

Politicians criticizing Israel is pretty much asking for career suicide. Just look at Jeremy Corbyn, criticized Israel over Palestine now the entire media has created Labour has an a"Antisemitic problem" despite now several reports and inquiries show no antisemitic presence in Labour and most antisemitism comes from the right of politics.

Also online, Israel has probably the most aggressive and well trained astroturfing groups currently active. /r/worldnews is fascinating to watch particularly because they are so blatant, watch any thread that criticizes Israel, for the first few hours, everyone inside is criticizing Israel and it's actions and then suddenly out of nowhere, you will get anybody who has criticized Israel downvoted to oblivion, while the thread will now be about how Hamas is actually super evil and brought this upon themselves.

Israeli astroturf groups have also got onto mod positions pretty much on every major politics forum. I've probably lost count the amount of times I've been banned from politics forums for being "antisemitic" for not only just criticizing Israel, I've been banned for criticizing Likud specifically.

>Duur you're probably just a /pol/tard who thinks that hating jews isn't actually antisemitic

I never actually mention Jews or any bullshit racist antisemitic shit in any of my posts. I almost entirely focus on historical fact backed up by academic sources and literal policy and law. Yet despite literally sourcing my shit, often back to Israel's own official Government sources, I get banned for being antisemitic along with anybody else criticizing Israel or political zionism.

The only African countries that had a benefit from colonisation is maghreb countries because they were close and Europeans moved to them, pushing France to build infrastructure for them.

Also the fact that they were not black, meaning it was harder to justify slavery or exploitation of them.

I know it leans that way, but that's the history.

Naturally I don't condone a lot of the IRA's stuff but understanding the context of the time makes it hard not for any description to favour republicans up until, as I said, they just became a protestant hunting gang.

>>1874195
But you're also wrong.
The IRA splintered into becoming a terrorist group when the harsh treatment by the RUC radicalised catholic youth in many areas of the city.
There was the IRA which colluded with the Brits on a certain level, with codewords for bombs for evacuations and whatnot, there was the IRA that was actually just plants by British, then there was the IRA that was "Join up to kneecap prods and kill brits."

To label them as "just terrorists" is blatant revisionism as their cause and rising was just contextually due to all peaceful political efforts to gain equal rights by the Irish Catholic at the time were met with violence.

The IRA now? A gang. Terrorists.

The difference is that from the start of the Troubles the Loyalists were geared toward the infamous "any taig will do" idea and killed almost exclusively civilians (although allow for some lee-way for unconfirmed IRA members.)

As I said in my post, the IRA splintered at one point and then those splintered even further after the GFA when the ones who were in it for the violence didn't want to stop fighting, but none of them could agree on why they wanted to say they would carry on the campaign.

tl;dr
>Not terrorists until post GFA, unless we count those who used the Troubles to fuel a new more radical cause
>Both sides killed innocents, but the Loyalists/British killed significantly more
>The Loyalist paramilitaries killed almost exclusively civilians


These are more reasons I find it so interesting, because despite all these facts there is a very common idea of "the ira are terrorists and always have been" idea in Ulster.

You might want to look up what strawmanning means. You weren't strawmanning me you illiterate shit. Most of your opening tripe (the parts I pointed out for you) was a strawman.
Therefore, please provide examples of people saying what you pointed out, and it won't be a strawman any more. Otherwise, your entire point is bullshit because no-one says these things.

But let's break this down:
>speak and act like a generic leftypol SJW
Because I disagree with your typical alt-right worldview of "everyone is out to get whitey"
>leftypol
I've not even said anything vaguely "leftist". Go back and show me examples of anything even remotely "leftist" that I've said. Quotes please.

Vikings - The North Atlantic Saga mentions it was the sail. They were a bit backwards and took a long time to move up from rowing. How true that is I'm not sure, this was picked up at Barnes and Noble on a whim. Hardly an academic text.

The same book points out that they were tradesman (and had been involved in limited pirating) long before they were raiders, and that the transition was likely due to them simply realized that they could just be taking things, rather than bartering for them.

I'd like to know how the world today would be different if the initial colonies in North America had grown into respectable cities, and Europe at large had come to NA two or three hundred years before Columbus, and found a the Scandinavians as part of a thriving society of peoples trading and warring between themselves

>GM's Opel was the largest car and truck maker in the Third Reich. When Hitler came to power, his nation was still primarily a horse-drawn country. From the outset, GM consciously mass produced cars and truck for the German military, becoming a major and indispensable spear of Nazi rearmament. This included the Blitz truck which became the mainstay of the Blitzkrieg that conquered Europe. GM concealed its American control of Opel through special executives committees and board directorates. After the War, GM took all the profit, including that gained from slave labor. After a Congressional investigation, GM tried to obscure the facts and pressured Washington about a special report on the company's activities. To this day, the company frustrates research efforts into its protracted and profitable involvement in Nazi genocide

>General Motors, James D. Mooney, received the Grand Cross of the German Eagle for his distinguished service to the Reich. "Nazi armaments chief Albert Speer told a congressional investigator that Germany could not have attempted its September 1939 Blitzkrieg of Poland without the performance-boosting additive technology provided by Alfred P. Sloan and General Motors".[20][21][22] During the war, GM's Opel Brandenburg facilities produced bombers JU-88, trucks, land mines and torpedo detonators for Nazi Germany

>confiscate Jewish assets. IBM solution: all banks and financial institutions were run by IBM cards which were programmed to seek out the Jewish names and their accounts for seizure. Fourth: ghettoize the Jews. IBM Solution: cross-match families from their existing residences into crowded dilapidated slums so that in a single day, thousands of people could be efficiently transferred from point A to point B. Fifth, deport the Jews to camps. IBM solution: most of the railroads in Europe were routed by IBM punch cards. Create special depots to ensure that trains with cattle cars were made available to transport Jews to camps. Inbound, these trains were crowded with helpless humans. Returning, they were empty.
>IBM systems efficiently identify, track, manage, transport, and route millions of prisoners to extermination
>IBM systems maintained efficient scheduling of trains transporting millions to camps


remember henry ford and his blueprint book that created the reich and ford continued to lead them to greatness

he got plenty of reich medals for all his efforts, much like GM and the other corporations
tl;dr corporations = nazis, genocide of streetcar

>I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

I want to live in a world where people can discuss the positive aspects and achievements of Nixon's presidency without the inevitable REEEing about Watergate and Vietnam. Hopefully when all the Boomers finally die off, I'll get my wish.

I've been doing a lot of research into their religion and it's pretty fascinating. I've started to focus on the Midewiwin, mainly because I live in the Great Lakes region myself. It's really pretty cool.

Someday, when the boomers die, I'd like to have just one good discussion, just one, with anyone about the hijacking of the Republican party (that's literally what happened) and how crazy different it is today compared to where it was even going into WW2.

>Interesting historical events that you wish you could talk about but they are so politicized

The Nakhba/Israeli War of Independence.

There are books and historians who try to talk from it objectively. But its such a hot topic....

Japan before and during WWII.

Nixonland is worth a read, in this regard. Most of Nixon's enemies -- and the hippies in particular -- were shockingly incompetent or stupid and the only reason we think the hippies are noble is because boomers wont shut the fuck up about how great they were. But Nixon quite literally directed American policy in such a way that if he had never become president the US' position in the modern world would be radically different.

>>1880885
This tbqh. Nixon seems like one of the most interesting and influential American figures of the 20th century. It's a shame that everything you hear about him now is seen through this tainted lens of almost self-congratulatory Boomer back-patting about how they exposed the corruption of le ebil sweaty man.

>>1882771
Well, in fairness, he was, like... super evil and corrupt.

He did good things but he did also try to subvert the Constitution and the democratic process. That is something that he did. Boomers are dicks about it but come on.

>>1882771
He did have some significant diplomatic successes, like the normalization of relations with communist china, and he founded the EPA.

During the 1970 presidential election a cornerstone of Nixon's campaign was that he had "a secret plan" to end the vietnam war. This new approach turned out to be an attempt to kill as many civilians as possible through a sustained air campaign with widespread use of incendiaries and cluster bombs in the hopes that it would break their will to fight. Not only was this escalation a complete and total failure, it was by every measure a war crime that caused untold suffering. And whether you think it was truly severe or not, the watergate breakin was undeniably a criminal act. He wasn't just "le ebil sweaty man", he was a man who broke the law and then used the power of his office to attempt a coverup. Ford pardoning him was a mistake.

It's seen as a problem to teach it in schools in the US because the public education system does not want to offend Mexican-Americans.

Look I can't help it .

That guy is really sexy desu.

ford pardoning him was a very wise move. america needed to some calm times not even more division and political strife.

The life of Adolf Hitler. There is always a moral mandate to turn him into some sort of evil incarnate.

>>1867584
He doesn't know. He's justifying their isolation and stunted civilization development by assuming they were stupid since that's a convenient way to uphold hatred towards another region or race.
