> controversaryWhat Hitler did was an act of self-defense.Anglos and commies conspired to destroy and subjugate German people, that was the real reason behind WW2.Also, Holocaust never happened and was made up by the Soviets. That's the reason why Putin would never declassify the WW2 archives because it was all made up and never happened.
>>170781141. Don't be a hysterical bitch. The Polish Republic had it coming2. Everything that happened after 1918 you illiterate retard. You think some shit got signed and all the bots moved behind their good boy borders? Shut the fuck up.
>>17079772>VGHLEDAR is ACK>it's over
>>17078175that why they switched sides and fought germs at the end
>>17078244that is mostly becasue of massive losses they suffered in 2nd ww and in collapse of 90'
>>17078101>Anglos and commies conspired to destroy and subjugate German people, that was the real reason behind WW2.Why didn't they destroy Germany in 1918 when they had impunity?
>God gave us the ability to reason and understand, just for us to not use and trust itYeah I'm not buying it. Something about the conventional Bible story stinks, I don't think we have the full picture
>>17081145>because the Bible says it is
>>17081145Reasoning leads to doubting God.Doubting God leads to disbelieving in God.Disbelieving in God leads to le magic lava.
>>17081145So you can't. What's the point of this thread then?
>>17081166>>17081166It's illogical that God would give us the ability to reason and think if he didn't want us to use it. You're the one who is making the claim, that it is wrong. I think we should embrace all of our God given abilities.
>>17081173>prove logic is good >durrr othewise it's illogical Brilliant
Suppose that his nephew wasn't the dumb cunt that he was in our timeline or something.
>>17080588>he should have destroyed the Sasanian EmpireHow? The field armies already struggled to not be annihilated
"Former Glory" is a lot to ask, the former empire peaked like 300 years earlier it was a completely different world. But yes he had a good plan and good tools to pull it off. The barbarians weren't moving around anymore in the West, they had settled down and become prone to games of politics. Justinian clearly understood that war was policy with additional means.But the plague fucked it all up
The west was thriving until this ugly loser got high off the stank fumes emanating from his whore of babylon wife's pussy and decided to bankrupt and destroy the east just to ruin the west. Fucking cretin. The Goths were running Italy and Spain perfectly fine and the Italian aristocracy were behind them 100%. Then these GREEK losers wewuzed too hard and threw shit all over everything, as usual.
>>17080545theodoric had a better shot, but justinian thwarted everything
>>17080997How much of a retard you have to be to risk something like that.>>17080588This.>>17080545Justinian's single successful Western campaign was against the Vandals.The war in Italy was an absolute shitshow that took way too long, way too much resources and it destroyed Italy.Justinian is pseud bait.
>Stalin was not impressed with Mao Zedong when they met in late 1949. He allegedly remarked "What kind of a man is Mao? He seems to have some idea of revolution involving the peasants but not the workers. A caveman Marxism."[9]
>>17080782Just wait until you hear about Pol Pot. It was a literal retard uprising that aimed to execute everyone in Cambodia with an IQ over 80 and revert the country to a purely agrarian nation with no industry or wealth. Pol Pot makes Mao look like a genius, and Mao makes Stalin look like a genius.
>>17080782Marxism works with what it has. Mao only had peasants to work with. Lenin had workers. In America they have bourgeois kids and bums. Marxism works with what it has.
>>17080782oh I'm sorry, does history not fit your personal logic? Was there some hidden factor, or even two factors that escaped your consideration? If one man could comprehend everything, we'd stick with kings. Revolution is a metaphor for change, if you want to play God the thing to do is to kill millions upon millions of people, and pave the future with their skulls. That's what God and time ultimately do. Logical outcomes, ideology, small-minded political and propaganda platforms have no relation to this deep process.
>>17080793Except that1) When Khmer Rouge rule ended in 1979, more Cambodians were alive than in 1960 or in any year preceding that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Cambodia#Population_and_age_distribution2) The percentage of people older than 15 _increased_ after 4 years of Khmer Rouge rule, proving that the idea that adults were more likely to be killed (due to allegedly being less brainwashable) is a myth 3) To this day, Cambodia has a higher average IQ than her neighbours, see: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/average-iq-by-country4) The Khmer Republic that preceded Democratic Kampuchea was an awfully corrupt regime which had US aid as its main source of income (something like $1,000,000 per day at its peak) and would have collapsed as early as 1973 had American bombers not devastated the countryside (without any declaration of war). Life expectancy in Cambodia started going down in 1970, not in 1975: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_genocide#/media/File:Life_expectancy_of_Cambodia.svg5) A solid 100,000 Cambodian civilians were killed by the Vietnamese invasion in December 1978 - January 1979 alone, per Clodfelter in "Warfare and Armed Conflicts" (2017)
Does the Christian God just get a kick out of not helping faggots stop being gay when they pray to him in their anguish? Not all of them are proud, many wish they were different and pray for assistance. But it falls on deaf ears.
>>17081115I forgot the suicide one. We all have the lemming gene where we feel the urge to jump off something high, some people feel it more than others due to their genes which can lead to thought disorders as they don’t have the capacity to separate their perceptions from themselves and end up trying to kill themselves
>>17081115ok i guess you have the study that proves conversion therapy can i see it?
>>17081139No I don’t think you can force any bodies will. If anybody is genuinely confused and wishes to not be ill perform a “conversion therapy” right here
>>17081144I mean if they are just confused it should be easy to find the cure right? or are you just talking out of your ass, with assumptions taken from a thousand year old book that says blindness is caused by demons?
>>17081168No I’m saying most people don’t know epistemology. They fail to understand mathematics, history, philosophy and the attempt at coherence between them and the natural world. With even a brief understanding most people overcome by the reality of their existence and either submit to truth or, now willfully, hide in hedonism
Any entity which demands worship is evil.
>>17081136>He doesn't demand it actually.Th>>17081136>However freedom of choice is not freedom from consequence.e bible says otherwiseThis is still not an argument for worship
>>17081020The workings of matter are not necessarily beyond our comprehension just beyond our knowledge. By your own logic every object,sight,and sound should be worshipped. Hell, worship yourself while you're at it since even though you are you, you have no idea how you exist. Be a 24/7 365 worshipping machine. Or maybe just admire the creation and worship the creator.
>>17081128>>17080987*God can send you to damnation as a just punishment for disobeying his outlined moral guidelines.
>>17080499I created video games, and I never ever expected NPCs to worship me.
>>17081140>The bible says otherwiseHe only demands worship from the Jews as they are in a legally binding contract.Gentiles can do whatever.
Saturday hiss edition.
There we're ANY change of Goebbels get away with just some years of prision? how great would be his attorney if someone could get away with it?
>>17081052>Not sure if Goebbels' children would have enjoyed living in a post-Nazi Germany.Thought national socialism was about the strong prevailing over the weak
>>17081056Try actually reading something they wrote instead of reading propaganda written about them by their enemies. It's a socialist ideology about promoting common prosperity for a nation. Much of their early popularity was built from the lower classes for their charity work.Propagandists like to take quotes out of context, Hitler did say that life was a struggle, but this was motivational, he was not saying that he wanted to make life harder or more dangerous.
>>17081148I have read both Mein Kampf and Hitlers second book and the main theme I recall is social darwinism and the strong of a nation supplanting the weak
>>17080529At Nuremberg the only way you could avoid torture and execution is by confessing to all manner of absurd crimes, having confessions was very important to ZOG since it justified their unpopular involvement in the war. Goebbels was ideological and not just some apparatchik, it is unlikely that he would have cucked out even under torture, but he didn't take that chance.
>>17081162>Hitlers second bookAh yes "Hitler's second book". Right. The fact you can't even name it tells me you never read it except maybe to have seen a few quotes passed around. I am assuming you mean table talks, which wasn't published by Hitler. It was just a loose collection of papers which were taken by his enemies and published after ww2. They were proven to have been tampered with, so are basically worthless.
Harold Godwinson should've won, I'm so pissed.

What is the historical reason behind this? Italians in South America are stereotyped as light while those in North America are stereotyped as swarties.
>>17080957>people change their phenotype upon adoptionThis being a race thread on 4chan I'm not sure whether you're trolling or not.I'm veering towards no.
>>17080971You might want to read the OP and the thumbnail and see what it really says. Snooki is explicitly "Italian" in the context of the US, albeit not in Italy.
>>17079027north italians vs sicilianstwo different ethnicities incentivized tocome for different reasons to each place
>>17080791Lazio has actual Rome and the Vatican
>>17080986>q: why are italians considered brown in north america>a: because north americans lie about their ethnicity, so you have browns pretending to be italians thereI reread the op and your posts. What I wrote answers op's question perfectly.>Snooki is explicitly "Italian" in the context of the USAre you trying to say that actors acting is what makes the truth in the US?Here, let me give you another pic for your collection then.
Picrel is my interpretation of what Jesus photo-realistically looked like using photo editing. Would you say this is likely accurate?
>>17081117>I asked an ai to make a certain pictureNo wonder christiamity keeps shrinking
Another accurate depiction of rabbi yeshua
>>17081079He would of had lower cheekbones and a recessed Maxilla due to the fact that he was poor and didn't have access to animal nutrients and since he is levantine, he couldn't even drink milk for nutrients either. So he would be eating mostly grains which doesn't really help in facial development. Other than that it's a realistic depiction. He might have lighter pigmentation (as he was levantine) but that would be rare so this depiction works.
>>17081079Closest living relatives to inhabitants of Judea 2,000 years ago are modern day Levantines who are mostly Christian. They've been in the region non-stop since then unlike Ashkenazi Jews and Arabs. They tend to have lighter skin but since Jesus was a carpenter he probably had a tan.
>>17081079>Historically accurate JesusHe was white because whiteness is the signifier of God's people.
please hear me out, im no neo nazi.i just read about Adolf's life in wikipedia and discovered very interesting facts:he never hated jews personally, he actually had quite a few jewish friends throughout his life.yes, is often spoke about "the damn jews ruin economy" and even refused to serve in the austrian army because he claimed the empire is too infested with jews.but these were only mentioned during conversations, he wasn't vocal about it and didn't speak about genocide.according to the historian Thomas Webber hitler's early antisemitism was just echoing opinions of other peopel at the time.in fact, he only started directly engaging with it when he was tasked with spreading anti communist propaganda in the munich Sturmabteilung, and found that people listen to him most when he simplifies germany's problem to just "us vs them"and considering that racial theories already existed about 100 years before hitler's rise to power, it is safe to assume hitler used it to become popular and less about actually hating jews.what further supports this idea is that when nazi ideals became law, hitler made a LOT of exception for jews he personally knew.Comment too long.

Ever heard of this thing called capital letters, little zoomer?
>>17081050>is there an alternate universe where hitler becomes popular thx to a good ideaology?I think he could convince people for any ideology if he tried
>>17081064yes. and i conciously chose to rebel against the damn oppressove capitals
>>17081050Hitler stated again and again that he didn't hate jews or want to incite violence against jews, but he wanted to dismantle jewish political power in Europe because it was harmful to Europeans. That was his stance based on speeches given throughout the 20s.

Free trade is capitalism and protectionism is socialism.Is it true that free trade is actually a bad thing since right wingers for the past 200 years have always argued that free trade is bad and you should use anything that foreigners produce?America shut down Japan in the 90s by imposing tariffs right? does protectionism improve your country or hurt it? so far it seems that it improves it because America has always used it as a tool to nuke Japan.
>>17080868cont, if you run a business (a restaurant lets say) and after each day you record a loss instead of a profit then it's better to shut it down and _do nothing_ than continue to operate this "business" as you are just burning money away.The UK was better off shutting down "companies" which were generating losses even if it "had" to pay some welfare money to the newly unemployed. Those welfare money are just transfers (still undesirable btw) but at least it's not a wealth _destruction_.
>>17080944This assumes that the losses were due more to local economics than to central banking economics. Either could be true. But if a central bank is making you eat someone else's shit, then maybe you should ask the other person not to shit on you?
>>17080479It also means you have to buy their overpriced slop, but in the mean time the only way to get better stuff would be improve the capabilities of your nation to produce that stuff. Free trade just results in regression where you lose the ability to even produce overpriced slop in the first place, meaning you are completely incapable of ever making a better version of that thing.You can sort of think it like this. The Earth doesn't trade with Mars. The Earth has a perfect protection regime and the earth does fine, nay the Earth is always capable of producing the best version of things because there in internal earth competition. Protectionism replicates that but you ensure the best version of the thing is always within your borders. "Protectionism" might lead to stagnation where you perpetually produce slop, but the same would be true for earth, and yet most things are improving. The difference is largely if you have a monopoly environment or not. If you have decent internal competition then protectionism can result in internal improvement, but if you have an internal monopoly then protectionism just protects that monopoly, but then this is not a case of protectionism being bad but of monopoly being bad, but if you have a global monopoly you will just have global stagnation. Thus arguably keeping a lot of "bubble" economies to prevent global monopolies might be good for innovation long term as while they might not be competing with each other, one bubble economy might eventually rise to improve itself in ways a singular global monopoly likely won't as even if all the various countries are a monopoly, at least with multiple monopolies there is a chance one of them improves by accident.
>>17080449“Free Trade” only benefits the Wall Street elites, it’s a race to the bottom by cutting wages, benefits and living standards for 99% of the population, all so a handful of corporate parasites can get solid gold toilets for their yachts.
>>17081137This is vacuously true in the 21st century because "free trade" assumes a central bank and a reserve currency. Try trading in local money and see how soon your economy will get raped by one or more government agencies.
