The '50s.
>>18411937That could explain part of the decline but aggravated assault and violent crime overall has fallen pretty precipitously, almost as much as homicide IIRC.
a lot of crime in the 50s wasn't reported or not really considered "crime" especially domestic violence

>As the chronicler says, this people's army was commanded by about ten men of humble origins, among whom were barbers, tooth pullers, cobblers, shroud workers, and garbage collectors. Popular festivals with street parties and celebrations were held in Córdoba. The animosity against the Berbers grew by the moment, and Caliph al-Mahdi decreed that Africans could not ride, carry weapons, or appear in the Alcázar. The Berber houses in al-Rushafa were looted, and attacks on the garrisons stationed in Madinat al-Zahra multiplied. Among the measures adopted by al-Mahdi was the forced discharge of seven thousand men from the caliphal army, primarily affecting the mawlas, fatas, gilman, abid, and especially the North African mercenaries. These discharged men attempted a revolt by appealing to a grandson of 'Abd al-Rahman III, named Hisham ibn Sulayman al-Rashid. The rebels were defeated, and after al-Rashid's execution, al-Mahdi ordered the persecution of the Berbers, even announcing a reward for anyone who brought in the head of an African. Many of these Berbers were killed, and their wives and children were sold at Dar al-Banat, "The House of the Young Women." This xenophobia even extended to Syrians, Persians, and other foreigners.

>>18413283There was a lot of anger over Ireland abstaining, yes. Irish nationalism has almost always been left wing, their approach is that if browns are willing to stop LARPing and actually get stuck into their enemies they'll work with them. Gadaffi, PLO, Black Panthers, etc. All the IRA leaders viewed the UK+USA as a cancer on the world

>>18413296Been tried several times. Usually American nogs will try pull shit about how the Irish are all racist or the Irish are all this or that, but then people remind them of-for example-militant blacks from the US meeting with the Provisional IRA's political wing in the 1970s.Ulster Loyalists were putting white Irish Catholics out of their homes like 4 months ago, telling people to ignore that to instead get buttblasted about 3 niggers lurking around their halal shop just doesn't work.

He could’ve stopped WWII if he were in power after Lenin died. Stalin betrayed the working class with nationalist politics. We’d have world communism now if Lev Bronstein was in power.
>>18412120Sam Hyde
>>18413060bro I literally came to this thread just to comment "Sam Hyde" fucking lmao
>>18412144Stalin was an egomaniac and literally the only reason why the Polish invasion failed after he explicitly disobeyed orders. Tukachevsky would have steamrolled Poland, Germany's post-war army was a joke until the 30s, and France had just demilitarized with the northeast having turned into a desolate wasteland and little ability to remilitarize on short notice. A Trotsky-led USSR with no Stalin would have been leagues better

Was the Berlin wall really necessary?
>>18412190Yes but I think it nicely shows to which degree they are retarded by their belief that the eastern half needed a wall to defend against a country that was throwing money at them and keeping the east alive through cheap loans.
>>18410753i built it to give berlin a lububu type of look
>>18410753Yes
>>18412118what kind of retardation was this? why not just have the whole of berlin in east?
>>18413345Germany was the loser of WW2 in Europe so the western allies wanted the symbolic pleasure of occupying its capital too. Stalin agreed because they conceded Thuringia in return, and he expected to drive them out after a few years anyway.
Rome fell because they had high taxes. The Germanic states succeeded because they had low taxes. Socialism has been destroying civilizations since the dawn of time.
>>18412571Thank you for posting the actual reasons.The only thing I would add is, an undefined method of succession, basically legitimizing coups.If any two thing had been properly managed the empire could have persisted in the west for some more years. But on the whole the western half was fucked.
>>18413292From the early republic to the principate Rome had little to no taxation, the crisis of the third century was caused by the gradual raising of the tax rate, then to deal with the unrest Maocletian and Commiestantine had to turn the people of Rome into literal serfs kept in perpetual poverty with their 30% cut on all agricultural production which seemed to stabilize the empire for a bit but what this actually did was cause irreparable economic decline that would kill the Mediterranean world over the next couple centuries. The people of Italy welcomed the Germans with open arms because they freed them from the proto-communistic taxation system of Rome.
>>18412571>Slavery completely disenfranchising the political and economic lives of the lower and middle class citizens and creating an enormous welfare class of like a million'ish people.Its the opposite. The social system and economy started to decine when the conquests stopped, everelt reducing the traditional sources of slavery. Late Roman had a lot less slaves compared to the Early Empire>Aggressive & unsustainable for-profit agricultural practices turning the entire boot of Italy into an arid, deforested, collection of loose sandy soil resting ontop of a rock, ready to collapse into the med. sea at any moment.True. Italy was a giant leeche already in the Early Empire tho. Provinces like Sicily, Africa or even Egypt pretty much worked to substain Italy>The sheer scale/size of Rome, combined with limited technology and minimal innovation, making it progressively more difficult and impossible to effectively manage, tax, or be responsible for, all their colonies.China was bigger. But i suppose ruling a giant flat rice field with multiple navigabile rivers is much easier>Simultaneously having an economy backed by precious metals, and an economy that doesn't make any commodities foreigners want, putting Rome in a position where they use those precious metals to buy/trade for renewable commodities like spices & silks, effectively *permanently* draining the country of currency at the rate of like 4-6 tons every year leading to horrible inflation.True and its a underrated reason for the decline. I suppose China invented banknotes also to reduce this issueAnyway, you are still avoid to talk about how the racial degeneration of late Rome contributed to the decline. From the Fourth Century onwards roman nobles had a lot of issue in reproducing, imperial family included
>>18412237"Socialism" is not when taxes are high. The top 0.01% of American households paid an effective combined tax rate of 68% in 1950. America wasn't socialist at the time and certainly not failing.
>>18413347This is because Charlemagne (inventor of the European proto-communist tradition) succeeded in reviving the Roman tax system that had been dead for centuries at that point, but luckily the state built by the Franks (who knew the evils of communism from their encounters with the Romans) was not big and bureaucratic enough to actually enforce them consistently so we still saw some economic growth during the Middle Ages.
What could've they realistically have done to prevent annihilation?
They should have spread their asshole wider.
>>18413211There was a way to get stalemate in the west in 1940 which would probably end in German defeat within a year or two, but a literal series of (un)fortunate events happened(Gamelin predicted what the German staff would do and the German staff wanted to do it but Hitler was fighting them for months and got his way).
>>18412271>What could've they realistically have done to prevent annihilation?I'll be the first to state the obvious - join forces with Germany. >the UK has no basis for declaring war on Germany>France, with the assist of Spain and Italy, can be bullied into neutrality >It's the entire Axis vs. the Soviets (Japan might also join, since they treated Ribbentrop-Molotov as a slap in the face after signing the Anti-Comintern pact)>the USSR crumbles and falls apart>the rest is unknown, depending on what the Burgers will do>but Poland is surely not anihilated
>>18413335What makes you think the Nazis wouldn't turn on Poland with their troops on their territory?
>>18413343Why would they? The main objective was destroying the Soviets. Risking it all in the name of, I don't even know what, would be nonsensical. >after the warIf they turn on Poland, UK, France and the US immediately smells German blood, enticing them to attack.
There are countries which I feel like should have more cultural influence but dont for some reason

>>18413102>Russian culture is slavic culture, it's kinda shared among eastern europeans.The Homo Sovieticus is its own thing.

Why were they like this?
>>18413078As a Catholic, this is the exact opposite problem of what Rome has been doing. The issue is not that Rome wants to convert America, it's that Rome has never had any interest in doing so at all. What Rome has done is push for migration of Catholic ethnicities into America and advocate for their interests against those of Americans.
>>18412454The Frenchman proved himself honorable and a friend during the revolution, even if we did bump heads a bit after on the high seas.
>>18412454It was more to do with the time period; massive wave of Irish immigrants in the 1840s shortly followed by the birth of the Fenian Movement, an openly violent Irish revolutionary movement. It had two wings; the Fenian Brotherhood in the US, and the Irish Republican Brotherhood in Ireland.They carried out terror campaigns, and invaded Canada from the US (and beat their army) that one time. Most of the "anti-Irish" imagery (portrayal of apes, etc) was specifically about the Fenians. Also what >>18412504 said; Irish soldiers were so badly treated in the US Army during the Mexican-American War that they famously swapped sides to become the much revered "San Patricios." There's also the fact that half of Latin America had Irish people in or near the government during+after their wars of independence against Spain, kekked.
>>18412454>forgetting the Poles>forgetting the Portuguesehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadeusz_Kościuszko>In March 1778, Kościuszko arrived at West Point, New York, and spent more than two years strengthening the fortifications and improving the stronghold's defenses.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Francisco>Possibly Francisco's most famous feat of strength occurred at Battle of Camden, South Carolina, where he noticed the Americans were leaving behind one of their valuable cannons, mired in mud. According to the legend, Francisco freed and picked up the 1,100 lb (499 kg) cannon barrel and carried it on his shoulder to keep it from falling into the hands of the British.>>18412473https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Barry_(naval_officer)>Born March 25, 1745 Tacumshane, County Wexford, Kingdom of Ireland>He has been credited by some as "The Father of the American Navy", sharing that moniker with John Paul Jones and John Adams, and was appointed as a captain in the Continental Navy on December 7, 1775. Barry was the first captain placed in command of an American warship commissioned for service under the Continental flag. After the Revolutionary War, he became the first commissioned American naval officer, at the rank of commodore, receiving his commission from President George Washington in 1797.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italians_in_the_United_States_before_1880#1776_to_1850>In 1773–1785, Filippo Mazzei, a physician, philosopher, diplomat, and author, was a close friend and confidant of Thomas Jefferson. He published a pamphlet containing the phrase, which Jefferson incorporated essentially intact into the Declaration of Independence:>Tutti gli uomini sono per natura egualmente liberi e indipendenti. Quest'eguaglianza è necessaria per costituire un governo libero. Bisogna che ognuno sia uguale all'altro nel diritto naturale.>Translated by Jefferson as follow:>All men are by nature equally free and independent. Such equality is necessary in order to create a free government. All men must be equal to each other in natural law

The first verse of genesis is literally "When the Elohim created the skies and the Earth."But Elohim is the plural of Eloah (god) so it says when the gods created the skies and the earth. Skies is also plural due to ancient belief the sky was a seven layered dome. Lol.
>>18412648Abraham payed a religious tithe to Melchizedek, a Canaanite king and priest. The God of the Israelites is canonically the same God.
>>18412645The people in temple are autistic. No Jew would ever realistically deny this except to keep up appearances. Why do you think so many of us are unobservant lol
>>18412729There are two sides to religiosity:autismschizophreniaI don't like religious people in general because of that.
>>18412732Smart guy. Not unique to religiosity either. Biggest bump in QoL I ever had was learning that the overwhelming majority of people simply aren't worth talking to no matter how much slack you give them.
>>18412723The Hebrew is ambigous and only says "he paid a tenth of all to him", so it's perfectly plausible Melchizedek paid a tithe to Abraham.

Is it wrong to say that Somalis are essentially black Africans who have been Arabized?I've been digging into Somali history a bit and throughout much of it, the Somalis have always seemed to have venerated the Arabs on the other side of the Red Sea/Gulf of Aden as the civilization and culture that they looked up to and wanted to emulate, rather than the rest of Africa. The desert Nomadic lifestyle of many Somalis seems to have its closest parallel in the nomadism of the Arabs. Even if you look at Somalia's constant clan-based civil war in the 1990s, it seems much more akin to the tit-for-tat militia brawls you see in Arab countries like Libya, Yemen or Syria. To top it off, Somalia's even been partially overrun by a radical Sunni Islamist caliphate proto-state like what happened in Iraq and Syria.
>>18408935>a lot of (non-diaspora) Somalis consider themselves to be ArabsI've never seen that. You sound crazy.>>18411806Gulf Arabs copied discount Iranian architecture for mosques and in recent decades have been copying discount Ottoman architecture.
>>18412953yemen is not gulf arab
>>18412730>cherrypicking
>>18413075That's why I said Gulf Arabs and not Yemeni or Somali. Although pretty much any culture that puts domes on mosques is copying Persian and Byzantine architecture.Arab and Moorish architecture didn't have domes.
>>18411806But somalis were all nomads, they didn't have cities. arabs who founded those towns were living in the coast
The Jews seethed at Mesopotamian civilization so fucking much they made up the Arch-babylonian and then had their god smite him into ashes. Honestly they poisoned Mesopotamian history for like 1800 years, thankfully we rediscovered the real history or else all we would have is biblical propaganda.
>>18411775The Jews were the whipping boy for the Semitic peoples (and other Afro-Asiatics like the Egyptians). Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Phoenicia, non-Israelite Canaanites etc. It's no fucking wonder they seethe so much in their ancient texts.
>>18411558>>18411791So? They won in the end. Jews survive to this day as a distinct identity. And the source of this vitality is adherence to their MONOTHEISTIC ethno cult. Polytheism is just a more primitive and superstitious stage of religion and Jews were among the first ones to overcome it.
>>18413255Up to the creation of Israel and fulfilling the zionistic main objective, jewish history is a constant non stop of failure and tears. and while for around 80 years jews have been fine, they have grown too careless lately in the middle east and now the world is seeing an ever increasing raise of anti jewish sentiment. It also happens that the holocaust, their trump (heh) card, happened like one hundred years ago and the younger generations dont give a shit anymore, so jews are in for another 'trial', as they like to call it
>>18411791Yeah, well, the problem is that we're all worshiping different interpretations of their angry, jealous god, and therefore, we are effectively they're golem slaves in spirit. No thanks. I'd rather worship my ethnic pre-Islamic gods than be a circumcised bitch slave of jehova-satan.
>>18413265>Up to the creation of Israel and fulfilling the zionistic main objective, jewish history is a constant non stop of failure and tearsExcept for those measly 600 years after their return from exile in which they got to live in their land and worship in their temple.
