>Western culture peaked in the 1500sWhy does anyone believe this retard?
>>17975582agreed.
>>17983314ok putins top guy, how's the weather in frankfurt am main, classes going well?You seem to miss my point. The Russians were ripped from their lands and are now dying a premature death. I would argue that there is something qualitatively different between rural pesantry and the Russian urban unconscious zombies. The Russians are more like the dispossessed native people of North America, which I do have lots of experience dealing with rather than a regular peasantry. Calling Moscow and Saint Petersburg world cities today seems kind of ridiculous, but what else would you call them? The Russian lower classes have emptied out of the countryside; The Russians have forced a natural process and are at the end of the process with little to show for it. The Russians (and other East Slav nations like the Ukrainians and Belarusians) are not having children, There is no future for them or their culture.>Technologically, they have already pioneered several new forms of warfare the world is still trying to catch up to (Drones, Hyper-sonic missile technology)You appear to know nothing of what you are talking about. The Russians haven't invented any of those thingsThe first use of drones in a modern sense (remote reconnaissance/control and target designation) dates back to the late 70s in America with the MQM-105 Aquila. You have older drones going back to the 40s, but they were more like big RC planes. Slapping some mortar shells on some cheap Baofang consumer drones because your air force can't SEAD or gain air superiority is a fucking joke. and they were not the first ones to do it, shows how much you know.As for Hyper-sonics, the Americans were working on them in the 70s, but stopped due to signing a series of Anti-Ballistic Missile treaties in the 70s and 80s that the soviets wanted because they couldn't keep up. The honorless Russians backslid on them in the 2010s; they did not invent them, but rather worked on them when the Americans had agreed not to.

>>17980577Petrism did this, in a way is extremely sad because Russia could have been like Kazakhstan, chilling in its turf and being content with the fact they are above replacement levels despite being industrialized, but Russia's obsession with being european (and as Spengler pointing out g*rms fucking it up) ended with 2 of the largest white (yeah, yeah, spares us, econd generation russian migrants easily act and biologically look as westerners) countries becoming demograpically sterile and wasting away their national capital in zero sum internationalist adventures

I have herd that India was never supposed to be one massive country, and that some figured that post-Raj India would be multiple nations.How should it have been split up, and which of the resultant Indian nations would have been the most powerful/prosperous?
>>17983333The north without southern gibs would be a hellscape beyond measure, I can imagine a few Muslim warlords conquering it and splitting it between a Bengali and Punjabi led sultanate that would remain poor while the south is more prosperous

If you were to carve out Bengal, it might have been the most prosperous. It was already densely populated, and rich inrice and jute exports. Historically, Bangladesh later struggled economically, but West Bengal could be prosperous.
That weird looking part in the East should just be its own country.

2013 U.S. Department of Federal Prisons (DDP) data indicates that only 0.07% of the prison population identifies as atheist.. This percentage is significantly lower than the 2.4 percent of atheists in the general American population, according to a 2012 Pew study, which suggests that lack of religion is not a disproportionate factor in incarceration.

>>17983424I like the rebel flag as a symbol of defiance. The Appalachian whites are as old stock to this country as any of the founding fathers from Virginia are and we are under genocide which threatens to erase our culture. I couldn’t care less about the civil war but I like the rebel flag for what it stands for- defiance against the libshits in Washington.
>>17984621>I couldn’t care less about the civil war but I like the rebel flag for what it stands for- defiance against the libshits in Washington.Yeah when you put it like that it's hard to disagree.
The atheist and the theist both make the mistake of self confidence. They build their foundations out of stone rather than mud in a vain attempt to impose objectivity only to then ask why their home is rotting. Their narcissistic drive for peace can only lead towards conclusion and instead of accepting that they preempt it.
>>17984546But can worth be found within the intuitive or is it all worthless because it hasn't been measured? Are there tools that the wizard uses that the scientist could benefit from?
>>17984565We have no knowledge of worth, value, or truth. It all has to be presupposed or as the theist puts it we need a leap of faith.

Oldfag anon here, was born in Yugoslavia (Bosniak) in 79 and immigrated to Germany in 94 to escape the slaughter of the Bosnian war, at the time. Being an immigrant at the time, i felt warmly welcomed and well integrated, and absolutely nobody cared that I was foreign or my family was muslim (am an atheist myself, but I do respect all faiths and religions), to everyone I was a member of that community and treated as everyone else. There was a sense in the 90s that racism and xenophobia were a thing of the past, we laughed at how absurd it all was and it seemed more and more thatbwe were moving towards a world of mutual respect and understanding between people of all races and nations. What changed? Why is anti immigrant sentiment and far right rethoric on the rise? Why we went from coexistence to open racial hostility? I meam it's not like racism didn't exist before, but now people openly talk 90s neo nazi points in open television, what has that dream of unity and understanding become?
>>17980646>THIS TIME IT WILL HAPPENChristcucks haven't been right for 2000 years.

idk, it kinda seems like the eureka rebellion was incredibly similar to the starting stages of the american revolution. had they succeeded, things probably would've looked very differently.
>>17983453Doesn't matter now, they're lost. Completely cucked, monitored, digitized, tracked, disarmed, isolated and surrounded by enemies on the opposite side of the world from their Ancestors. Same problem with the SA and Rhodesia. Sure, they did great work, but they're in the Heart of Darkness and it's impossible to beat back the jungle and its hordes. "Go West, young man!"
>>17983453They had strong regional powers in Japan looking to exploit them had they gotten it in the early 1900's and now they have the Chinese which are worse. So no chanceCanada had a friendly USA that was interested in it and South Africa had no nearby regional powers
Early 19th century Australia was mostly convicts and military personnel, with a sprinkling of free settlers. They were historically too weak to start a rebellion.

Historically speaking, where did this modern liberal western idea that the people in these totalitarian regimes (China, USSR, Fascist Italy etc.) that lasted decades were all just going along with it solely because they are propagandized and cowed into subservience via mass terror? Really? NOBODY benefited and supported rapid industrialization, a huge reduction in crime and chaos, mass modernization, mass electrification of the countryside, and massively improved education and literacy rates? Are we serious here? You can argue it was immoral and evil and built off exploitation sure, that’s fine. I’m not arguing about the ethical aspect I’m arguing that the idea that every single person was hypnotized into supporting dictatorship with no upsides is impossible. Clearly the stability it provided was a big source of support.
>>17983061But that's not what happened, you made a false claim about the U.S., and when I correct you, you cried and shat yourself over it being semantically correct.
>>17982968>where did this modern liberal western idea that the people in these totalitarian regimes (China, USSR, Fascist Italy etc.) that lasted decades were all just going along with it solely because they are propagandized and cowed into subservience via mass terror?That is quite literally what happened. These countries controlled their flow of people so that the outside capitalist world couldn't be shown to them. Even top-brass elites like Yeltsin had scarcely visited the western world (hence the shock he had once he finally got out).>NOBODY benefited and supported rapid industrialization, a huge reduction in crime and chaos, mass modernization, mass electrification of the countryside, and massively improved education and literacy rates?Comparing to the past is stupid because they likely would've had access to these too had they became liberal capitalist. They benefitted from it sure, but they only supported their socialist party because they thought that the alternative was mass hunger for the top rich.>Clearly the stability it provided was a big source of support.What stability ? These communist countries kept having coups and revolutions. The only one that didn't for most of its lifetime (the ussr) had to violently quell the rebellions in its satellite republics.>>17983071nta but the US is not a highly regulated economy and is a representative democracy.

They benefitted from it sure, but they only supported their socialist party because they thought that the alternative was mass hunger for the top rich.That's pretty accurate. The Soviet population was kept fairly ignorant of the outside world to such a degree that stories from the (select few) people who traveled abroad were not believed in by many people. Like, you can just go into a store and buy whatever you want? I don't think people realized how provincial most people were back then. But then relative comparison to their own background is also a factor because you were no longer literally starving to death.

Yeah, we have Joe McCann.

He is knelt next to his flag, holding his M1 Carbine. Joe died at age 24 a couple of years later; at the time he was among the most wanted by the RUC, and was spotted while in Belfast. The RUC tipped off the 1st Battalion of the British Parachute Regiment, who moved in with the RUC to arrest him.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

There's a lot of there is a lot of insecurity here about Mesoamerican conquests. I know it hurts, right? The Mayan pyramids were some of the tallest structures in the world when they were built in the Classical period. The number of structures per square kilometer in Mesoamerica was greater than most of the European territory, even in places like today. The "impressive" European cathedrals were only built centuries later, when the Mayan civilization had already collapsed. If the Mayans hadn't suffered this collapse, they would probably have built even larger structures. It's a fact that they were at an impressive level for their timethe Aztecs and were masters of impressive botanical understanding, the most advanced on the planet, including Europe. And, by the way, they had absurdly sophisticated bureaucratic systems, with things like mandatory public education, which many "civilized" people of the time couldn't even dream of, just like in the cold lands that lived off plunder throughout their history.Who needs bronze when you have hieroglyphics and precise calendars, right? They themselves stated how superior and impressive the cities were. I think it's cool how you drool over "Indo-Europeans" who were shepherds using stone tools and bone necklaces while at the same time you despise and try with all your might to diminish the magnificent Mesoamerican achievements. You lost. Copper was used by Native Americans as early as 8000 BC

>>17984574He was trying to get the king to ignore his transgressions by delivering him Atlantis. He exaggerated the development of the natives to indicate possible revenue streams and to suggest that there were more civilizations, possibly even more advanced civilizations.

They're all dead now, and he went out on his own terms, like countless Greek, Roman, Gaulish, Germanic and other "Pagan" heroes before him. Historically, it was actually regarded as a sign of class and sophistication. Real Men and Warriors don't fear death. That's why you do.
