Robespierre and his people were your typical psychos pretending to be nationalists, they were thugs like Stalin, so of course it ended badly. It would have been cool if french kept their kings like other more rational countries did.

In the bad old days of Jim Crow, Southern states frequently applied capital punishment for non-homicidal rape but nearly all such instances involved an assault by a black male upon a white female, and Virginia was no exception to the rule. The mass execution of the Martinsville Seven in 1951 was the most notorious one as it gained national headlines but wasn't the last time the Old Dominion would do it. Three more black men would be executed for rape by the state and this practice was only formally abolished when the Supreme Court would ban capital punishment for offenses outside first degree rape in the 1970s.

On May 5, 1951, only three months after the Martinsville Seven were executed, Albert Jackson, a 23 year old black parolee, accosted a 40 year old white waitress who was walking home from work in Charlottesville. The woman was dragged into an alley off Second Street and raped there. During this assault she fell into a pit and was badly injured. Jackson wasn't finished; he dragged the victim out and forced her to submit to a second act of rape when a beat cop saw him and interrupted him. He initially tried to deny the assault and claimed he was trying to help the woman out of the pit when she fell into it but finally admitted the truth. Jackson pled insanity at his trial but was found guilty and sentenced to death. The state supreme court upheld his sentence and he was executed August 25, 1952.

He has a lot of music content blasting white people yet they all still sing his praises and love him, similar to Muhammad Ali (who is also praised by the most hardened white racists) as well as Malcolm X and Tupac.

You reduce their beliefs to "hate white people", so it shows you will never get it even if I explain it to you. You likely don't even understand white supremacy either, which is funny considering you browse this website and have seen the same things I have, yet somehow fail to learn anything from it.
>>
>>18258353
Tupac literally said "fuck white people", Malcolm X, Marley and Ali all statements attributed to them where they blast white people. If any of these statements were said today by someone like Dr Umar Johnson or Ilhan Omar the white racists would go insane and get Elon Musk and Trump on the case. But these older dead figures are praised by White racists for saying much worse. What's the deal?

they can seethe over entertainment becoming "woke" and whatnot within the past 10 years or so, but music is probably the one consistent outlet of politics since the 60s, and probably earlier

if anything, mainstream music has become more apolitical now than it was in the 80s

Unironically, why do people fall in love? I know it sounds childish but I have felt that thing where you meet someone and just inmediately click. There's no logical explanation, you just meet someone, like them so much and feel weird about them. Why the fuck does this happen? It's so retarded but it feels really good. I know once you get into a relationship it all goes downhill but whatever. That first time you start to like someone is a unique feeling that makes no sense.

It makes no sense because it's older than logic. It's the entire reason your dumb ass exists. your ancestors fucked or died alone.
>>
>>18258059
People who are in love are dramatically more likely to have more sex with each other and stick around to help each other take care of their offspring, especially during the crucial first years where they are very dependent on adults. That's it, like so many other things it's an evolutionary trick that increases the chance of passing on your genes. Still feels nice though.

Can the work of Otto Dix and similar artists truly be considered art? His creations are demoralizing and ugly, which is contrary to what art should be.

>>18257873
The main problem the Nazis and their modern counterparts have with art like this is that it depicts distorted human figures. The Nazis were obsessed with phisical health and said that art like Dix's depict 'cretins' and their officially sanctioned art was mostly idealized, phisically perfect bodies.

Which is ironic since one of the big reasons Hitler was never successful as a painter was that he sucked at painting people, so there was also some projection there.

>97% of human accomplishment since the 14th
century occured from men born in this region.
Murray, 2003.

This quote is referring to Western Europe.
It comes from Human Accomplishment (2003) by Charles Murray, where he argues that about 97% of notable human accomplishments since the 14th century came from men born in Western Europe.
Important context (and why the claim is controversial)
Definition of “accomplishment”: Murray counted achievements using Western reference works (encyclopedias, histories of art/science). That heavily favors European figures.
Access vs. ability: For most of history, education, publishing, and recognition were concentrated in Europe—especially among men—so accomplishments elsewhere were less likely to be recorded or valued.
Exclusion of women and non-Europeans: Structural barriers meant many capable people never had the chance to produce or be credited for work.
Timeframe matters: The 14th century onward overlaps with Europe’s colonial expansion, which amplified European influence and record-keeping.
Bottom line
The “97%” figure reflects who had access to institutions and historical recognition, not innate differences between regions or genders.
Most historians and social scientists consider the statistic methodologically biased and not a neutral measure of human potential.

Between 1792 and 1916, Austria only had 3 emperors: Francis I/II, Ferdinand I, and Franz Joseph. Francis was Franz Joseph's grandfather and himself became emperor around the same time George Washington became US President (Francis was 7 years old when the American Revolutionary War started).

Tell me your favourite "alternate histories" that you like to ponder on, /his/.

Nothing boring like "what if germany didn't lose" but something you think feasibly could have happened, and how you think it'd shape history.

For example; what if Britian prevented the Thirteen Colonies from rebelling?

The main challenge was not Germany. The challenges were

1. America. We were heavily in debt to them. Defaulting would've further damaged London's credibility as a financial centre. America was also at this point significantly richer. They could outspend and outproduce us. Our government opted for cooperation with them, but by staying off gold and developing the sterling area, we could've caught up. But that leads to problem 2

2. Nationalism in the colonies. There's no easy way to fix this. Decades of western education meant that even the most third world colonies have a sense of nationalism. The white Dominions certainly did not want to listen to London anymore. And without this network, competition with America was not going to work. They'd have to be kept on side at all costs, and by force if necessary.

The big differences for Germany are no two-front war (at least not for very long) and a much less effective blockade, the latter of which is what ultimately decided the war.

The war on the front lines was very far from over, the entente hadn't even made it to the German border yet. Mutinies in the navy and treason in Berlin are what ended the war.
