How would something like HIV/AIDS have affected humanity if it existed in the past? It was only discovered in the 80s but it has been around since the 1920s.
>>18700306its less due to sex in those areas and more they have horrific medical practices where shit like reusing needles hasn't fully been clamped down on especially in regards to the various druggies they have, which is also why I mentioned blood transfusions
>>18700322It's a mix of both, but yes reuse of needles, along with ignoring safe sex (look at how the US gave them billions in dollars for condoms and they barely use it)An intresting fact is HIV on it's on is actually hard to get, with only around a 3% transmission rate. But gays who get it, along with reusing needles constantly, and just living in Africa, increase it every time
>>18700233The virus didn’t start in 1920, that’s only as far as scientists could trace the most common ancestor. It has been probably around for as long as people have been eating monkeys. The reason why it remained isolated was due to poor travel infrastructure so it didn’t spread further than nearby villages where someone became infected and eventually the virus reached a dead end.If HIV had remained there you would probably keep hearing stories about people dying from bizarre conditions that would leave doctors puzzled just like it happened in the USA around 1969. This scenario is nearly impossible though because sooner or later some infected African would immigrate to Europe and the infection would spread all over the world. I think Congo was ground zero and many Congolese moved to Belgium and France for work.
>>18700233Well if HIV a thing in the past, then it wouldn't be discovered until modern times since it stealthy ruins the immune system over years. HIV also isn't a respiratory virus, so it wouldn't spread rapidly without the aid of things like needles. And even if it did spread across the world, some Europeans would be immune thanks to that mutation they got.
>>18700233>>18700254>>18700371If it had made the zoonotic jump sooner it would still be somewhat limited in its' ability to transmit to other people, like you said, due to poor transportation. However: the entirety of the Ivory Coast, basically anywhere there's chimps and monkeys, the natural vector, would constantly be a breeding ground for "more attempts" due to Congolese and Cameroon (etc) people getting exposed to HIV via bushmeat. Combine that with the fact that a person infected with HIV is typically dormant, but contagious, for like 5 fucking years. My "cool intelligent guess" is I think if HIV had started sooner: the slave trade would have propagated it all over the Americas and it would have been a long, slow, nightmare; gradually infecting large portions of Haiti, Brazil, Cuba, and the Southern States - from a combination of blood exposure, sex, and breast feeding. My "cultural guess" is I think if HIV started sooner it wouldn't have had the cultural attachment it would towards homosexuals, but would be infinitely more connected to Africans, Blacks, Interracial, etc.. It would just be a big mystery: slaves, slave owners, half-breeds, would be fine, then 5 years they'd get a black dot and waste away. Sometimes people would only know because a 'crop' of babies would be born and they just didn't grow up.

I found a video on YouTube, a few years back that’s been taken down. It seemed to be an unedited version of Sudan Hussain, talking about how. “reading was a fundamental right of man because the first thing Muhammad said to Gabriel is read.” The video I saw had yellow water mark on it. The video is in fully translated Arabic and English. From what I read it seems to be about human shields. Who were used to prevent an overt bombing of Saddam Hussein.

Today we’re looking at William Jennings BryanBryan (3/19/1860 – 7/26/1925) was one of the most influential political figures of America's Progressive Era.Some notable feats or facts include:>born in Illinois to a family of staunch Democrats>became a fundamentalist Christian in his teens and attended college, where he became a skilled orator and a lawyer>married his wife Mary Baird when he was 19 and her 18--she outlived him by a few years and they had three children, two of whom became successful lawyers and politicians while another wrote a biography of her father>the Bryans moved to Nebraska in 1887 looking for opportunity>Bryan became involved in the Populist politics of the day, an unusual Democrat in a staunchly Republican state, and the pro-silver movement and was elected to Congress in 1892>made his epochal run for president in 1896, promoting free silver as the salvation of the indebted farmer, and ultimately lost to Republican William McKinley>Bryan served as a volunteer Army officer in the Spanish-American War, although the White House purposely kept him out of combat>ran for president a second time in 1900 against the popular incumbent McKinley and was defeated>ran a third time in 1908 against William Taft, declaring that President Theodore Roosevelt had stolen his ideas, and was again defeated>In 1913, Woodrow Wilson gave him the post of Secretary of State as a consolation prize, but Bryan resigned in a year after disagreeing with the president's Mexico policyComment too long.

>>18699449This man was one of the pioneers of New Deal liberalism. Teddy Roosevelt was either center-left or a progressive conservative but he was far less of a populist than Bryan. Bryan's energy paved the way for Wilson and FDR.>>18699535Both the Dems and GOP are anti-tax and pro boomer socialism. The Dems just think only the super rich have to pay tax.>>18699624Maga is far more descended from the Federalists and conservative Whigs/Know Nothings (nationalist, nativist,protectionist/dirigist, big government when it suits them) than the old school Democrat-Republicans and Democrat party (pro immigration, pro free trade, economic populist). Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson were in many ways surprisingly close to people like the Clintons and Bernie in regards to worldview than Reaganism/Maga, even though liberals tend to identify more with Federalists like Hamilton and shun old school Dems and Dems-Repubs. Jefferson was pro-immigrant, pro- land reform for the poor, progressive/land taxation, and supported expansion because he believed new land would allow for income equality.
>>18700291i would have disagreed with that because progressives believed in significant government centralization whereas Jeffersonian Democrats were supporters of states rights and a limited Federal government
>>18700313True, american liberals and leftists share the economic populism of their ideological ancestors, but employ federalist tools. Hamilton's industrialized centralized state won out on both sides of the isle, as the agrarian populism of jefferson and jackson was unsuited for modernization.
>>18700313That is to say most of the people who are in favor of the latter are Republicans now.
>>18700330That doesnt change the fact that new deal libs saw a direct line from jefferson/jackson and their politics. And the fusionist reagan-bush small government stuff is dying out in favor of a more orbanist and volkisch style ideology, and fusionism is an anomaly that was never truly representative of what the gop base wanted. Right wing wwc voters who left the democrats were fine with the welfare state but didnt want to pay the needed taxes, and saw the system as infested by poor minorities and migrants. And the gops wonk class that gave meat to the small government stuff has become hollowed out and sidelined. Its mainly the anti tax stuff from fusionism that has stuck on.
The ancient Hebrews believed that a Messiah was coming to redeem them. Messiah means "the Savior" who is going to build the third temple of Israel.Chrisrians believe Jesus was that Savior and that His Sacrifice on the cross is what saved us all. And Chriatians believe the body is a temple and Jesus destroyed the third temple which was his body, and rebuilt it in three days. By coming back to life.Mohammedeans (mudslims) believe Isa (Jesus) is the Messiah, (but they did not realize Messiah means savior). So they deny the act of Jesus saving everyone on the cross, but they still posit Jesus is the savior? In reality, Muhammad wanted to be the savior, so he had to cancel the part where Jesus saves everyone. But still calling him messiah is logically incoherent. He also did not build the third temple in Islam which means Muslim jesus cannot be the messiah. He neither saved anyone, nor built the third temple. Muslims also claim Mary was 12 when she gave birth, and she was a virgin. But if god was not the father, and mary was a virgin that means jesus just had no father at all according to islam???And Christians do not think Mary was 12 when she gave birth only muslims believe that to be the case because they made it up. And you know how they feel about age.Christianity was already a complete religion, but Islam said, "no this is what actually happened, and NOW you can no longer change the religion because NOW it is complete."Lol.
>>18699327>Muslims are retardedAnd grass is green.
Christians believe Jesus was born of a virgin Mary (of unknown age) because His Father was God, and He built the third temple which was His Body, and He saved us all which makes Him the Messiah.Jews believe Jesus was the son of an adultress and he did not build the third temple and was a scam artist. And they the Jews are still waiting for the messiah.Muslims believe Mary got pregnant when she was 12 but Jesus had no father at all, not even god, and he was actually a muslim teacher who fucked up so badly he accidentally founded the largest "false" religion in the world, even bigger than islam. (imagine gods prophet fucking up that badly). And they believe he did not save anyone but he is somehow still the appointed savior that the Jews awaited despite not saving anybody and actually deceiving billions by accident.Lol.
Not even Fatima-ology. Anti-Noahidism requires a blood and flesh Jesus rather than a liberal "free-market" projection

Today we have Guglielmo Marconi, full title Guglielmo Giovanni Maria Marconi, 1st Marquess of MarconiMr. Marconi (4/25/1874 - 7/20/1937) is the inventor of the radio, which revolutionized communications and was crucial to the opening of the global economy. Some notable facts or feats include the following>Born in Bologna and received no formal education as a child. Privately tutored instead>Became friends with Augusto Righi, a pioneer of the microwave>Began working on "wireless telegraphy" in the 1890's using radio waves>Built a storm alarm in 1894 made out of a battery, coherer, and electric bell to pick up radio waves. Next year he'd developed a very primitive radio>By 1897 he'd demonstrated it in Britain, and it had achieved a distance of 3 miles. Only in morse code by this point. >In 1899 the SS Saint Paul used Marconi's radio to transmit her return to England from 66 miles away>On 12/1/1901, used a radio to transmit a signal from Cornwall to Newfoundland>In 1903 President Roosevelt and King Edward VII exchanged the first public wireless communication between Europe and America>Was offered free passage on the Titanic but declined as he was busy>Fought in WW1 as a military engineer lieutenant.

>Radio broadcasting in the United States was launched in 1920 and the presidential election that fall was the first one to be broadcast in real time, although only in the New York City area. During the '20s, radio mania took off in the US--the numerous, overlapping transmission frequencies often caused problems which led to President Coolidge approving the creation of the FCC to regulate and parcel out radio bandwidth.>During the 1930s, the FCC expanded beyond mere regulation of the technical aspects of radio transmission to also regulating content and restricting airtime use for obscene or controversial broadcasts. New Deal policies incentivized the near-universal adoption of radios into the American home, so that by decade's end nearly every household with electricity had a radio. The Fairness Doctrine was inaugurated in 1941 as a reaction against controversial broadcasters such as the anti-Semitic "radio priest" Father Charles Coughlin, whose Michigan-based show had gained a large following. It required both sides of a political argument to be represented fairly. The Fairness Doctrine was repealed by Congress in 1987.
>>18699574i was tired last night and didnt have an opportunity to reply to your daily vs not question in genghis khan (sad it died so early). i previously said weekly/biweekly would be better, but i've changed my mind on it. i think doing it daily isn't as bad as i was thinking and gives an actual reason to visit the board daily. my only other suggestion was going to be make threads when the other was close to dying, but that's not easily predictable and makes it hard to know when a new thread will be made. also, posters themselves will dictate if a thread should stay alive or just die to go to the next historical figure.just keep doing what you're doing, basically.

>>18699922>>18699905The role of the Frankfurt School and Foucault in wokeness is extremely overstated. Adorno was attacked by a radical feminist. And the rise of the New Left was more a grassroots movement led by students, Marcuse wasn't the father of the movement but rather they just adopted his concepts, and he in many ways explicitly criticized many of the tendencies of the New Left. Foucault was pro-neoliberalism and his conception of power as not inherently evil is antithetical to wokeness.Half of leftists hate voting, and the other half only votes either if a politician is a leftist or out of lesser evilism. The tweet is obviously satirical (the red triangle indicates they are a pro-Hamas third worldist, and they overwhelmingly hate voting)The rise of the New Left is quite simple. White working class voters were fine with capitalism as long as it had a welfare state and pro labor reforms. Social democratic policies ironically killed the Old Left, they resulted in white working class voters losing interest in class issues and instead focusing more on social issues where they aligned more with the right. Post-ww2 capitalism is also very consumerist and more tailored around the daily needs of the proles unlike the 19th century barons and captains, so a working class right winger sees no need to topple the system. It didn't help that Leninism degenerated into oligarchal dictatorships The New Left recognized that the white working class was pacified and the Soviet Union was a sterile husk, and instead directed their energies toward the losers of Western society that in their eyes could act as revolutionaries against the order. Minorities, lgbt people, downwardly mobile college kids, sex workers, and so on. Hardcore third worldist revolutionary leftism is a lot more intellectually honest/consistent than the class reductionist and pro-electoral leftists who delusionally think there is a silent majority that wants socialist economics.
>>18699905Because """"leftists"""" in first world countries are just liberals that have co-opted marxist ideas as a facade
Communism was never taken seriously in America in the first place beyond it being the ideology of some of their political rivals, Communism in Europe died because the vanguards of it were a bunch of violent and retarded Slavs, so what you basically have left are just a bunch of socially progressive liberals who don't know what Communism actually is and a bunch of reactionary retards who enable them by also not knowing what Communism actually is
>>18700255This is just cope from class reductionist types who claim wokeness was invented by Hillary Clinton. The founders of the New Left were explicitly rebelling against traditional center left liberalism. Bill Clinton's and Obama's coalition were the last cry of the Old Left New Deal coalition if anything. Center left politicians like Hillary only adopted woke talking points because those talking points became mainstream amongst progressive staffers and activists.
>>18699905Old-style communism never turned into liberal left, they are two separate branches of leftist politics.
I've heard for years that the Nazis had a surprisingly pragmatic and at times sympathetic attitude towards certain MENA populations. I had heard that Hitler apparently considered Iranians to be Aryans, and that certain officials held positive views on Islam. I've never been able to find any primary sources for this. I was hoping someone here could further elaborate on these claims, how true they are, and any nuances there may be. I'm also aware of Mussolini declaring himself the protector of Islam, though I always took that as being more of an opportunistic political maneuverer than any genuine feeling of kinship. I always wondered how the Fascists felt about the non-european populations of the Mediterranean, considering that many of them could visually pass as being southern europeans.
Germany supported anti-colonial resistance, this included the Arab world.They wanted an uprising in Egypt and Palestine, and supported the uprising in Iraq (Mesopotamia).They were also very effective in swaying many Indian POW to take up arms against the British.Japan also self-styled itself as 'liberators' against the colonial powers with the "Asia for Asians" slogram (even tho this in reality meant Asia for Japan). This was a major reason why decolonialism in Asia happened almost immediately after ww2 ended, while decolonialims in Africa didnt happen until the 1960s.

Why are East and South Slavs called mutts when they score a majority in Slavic DNA (complementary to their culture and language), while the Germans and the English, who score less than 50% in Germanic DNA (not complementary to their language and culture), aren't called mutts?The image of the results is from the Gretzinger study from last year.
>>18696770Everyone is a mutt.
>>18696770extensive mutting is the only explanation for continued slavic dysfunction
Because their rule under the ottoman empire causes people to presume that, like the modern greeks, their mutt component comes from turks, genetically more distal from europeans who is seen as an inferior component. The Germans and English non-local component, is European in source and thus seen as relatively equal.
>>18696770Because South Slavs are mixed with Turks and other swarthy people which is seen as more shameful than being mixed with other Northern European ethnic groups.Also culture matters too (otherwise we'd consider Hungarians slavic) and South Slavs have very obvious non-European cultural influences.
