This board is dedicated to the discussion of history and the other humanities such as philosophy, religion, law, classical artwork, archeology, anthropology, ancient languages, etc. Please use /lit/ for discussions of literature. Threads should be about specific topics, and the creation of "general" threads is discouraged.

For the purpose of determining what is history, please do not start threads about events taking place less than 25 years ago. Historical discussions should be focused on past events, and not their contemporary consequences. Discussion of modern politics, current events, popular culture, or other non-historical topics should be posted elsewhere. General discussions about international culture should go on /int/.

/his/ is not /pol/, and Global Rule #3 is in effect. Do not try to treat this board as /pol/ with dates. Blatant racism and trolling will not be tolerated, and a high level of discourse is expected. History can be examined from many different conflicting viewpoints; please treat other posters with respect and address the content of their post instead of attacking their character.

When discussing history, please reference credible source material, and provide as much supporting information as possible in your posts.

Kuomintang had planes, US support, better generals, better equipment, and support from all the cliques. But a commie and a shit ton of unexperienced farmers were enough to defeat them.

Ultimately, a government only functions when the people are in line. If enough of them turn against you, there's not really anything the government can do. Especially as parts of the military start breaking away. Also like >>18204579 said, the commies waited till after the KMT had wasted all their resources fighting the Japanese and then struck when they were weak.

The USA will end up with massive inflation, maybe even hyperinflation over the next few years due to central banking, endless money printing and endless government spending/debt.
The US dollar's status as world reserve currency will end.

and it will be blamed on "capitalism", because 99% of the country are economically illiterate retards, and people will demand more government intervention, MORE central bank money printing and more socialism as the "cure"

Everyone is going to become a LOT poorer.
How do you feel about this?

As long as oil and gas aren't running out the deficit spending and reserve currency will continue. And while I'm sympathetic to peak oil autists there's still quite a while until that happens.

The Unitedstatian debt is the result of unofficial tribute extracted from its overseas empire choking out incentive for productive economic activity as pensioners sit around with 100k accounts. Basically, it is Colonial Spain but in the present. You are right it is headed to collapse as the rest of the world realized the dollar is worthless and based on no real wealth. It will not be missed and neither will Capitalism which you deflect blame from when Imperialism is inseparable from it.

It's funny how these Christians always appeal to an abstract Platonic-Aristotelian god when the YHWH of the Bible is clearly an old man who came from a mountain and sits on the clouds (Mark 16:19).
He is a concrete man who molded a clay figure in a magical garden and breathed life into it as if it were Pinocchio, who shared a meal with Abraham, who got angry because his soldiers were defecating inside the military camp, who was defeated by the enemy god because his soldiers had chariots.

He is, literally, an anthropomorphic god of antiquity.

It's not a Platonic idea during 90% of the Bible.

He only assumes this more abstract Platonic-Aristotelian character from the Gospel of John onwards.

He is not a Platonic idea during 100% of the Bible. The "God of the philosophers" is false. God is personal and we only use abstract language when we personal language is insufficient.

If only people with cholera outbreaks from corrupted water had a benevolent diety to give them sanitary laws based on the germ theory of disease.

Poopy water causing death because no one knew poopy water caused death was a thing as late as the Victorian era and this is one of those little Torah things that implies He's the real God.

Was he right about race? He wasn't talking about accepting browns as equals, Spengler hated the idea of internationalism, but he pointed out in The Hour of Decision how colored people were already back during early 20th century replacing whites due being cheaper and more numerous, also he noticed thirdies were capable to generate competent enough elites (Mustafa Kemal and Deng Xiaoping come to mind), he also warned lefties would eventually join forces with browns to undermine western civilization.
Instead he called for solidarity among whites, a sense of common destiny and shrewd bismark-like politics rather than brute force to achieve great goals. He also considered any biological-non white educated as a faustian was a good element, but that should be on an individual basis and not the madness of importing thousands of non-faustian coloured people.

Two-wheeled, copper-clad ritual vehicles were buried with the elite men and women, but of course... no samples of these people. Right, apparently, Sinauli burials are probably associated with the broader Ochre Colored Pottery culture and the Copper Hoard culture.

It’s likely there was a settlement nearby which is yet to be firmly located or excavated, and when it comes to radiocarbon dating, things get messy.... I haven't found any serious study with scientific methodology on dating, there are Indian articles claiming data as crazy as 4000 BC. Does anyone really know the date of this site? And if possible, non-Indian sources??

There are some articles about this complex, some arguing certain Indo-European parallels, but the most unbiased opinion we have now is that we simply don't know exactly what kind of culture or people this site represents, so feel free to believe any of these hypotheses. But antenna swords found across the wider region are usually dated between about 1500–1000 BC, suggesting that the Sinauli site is more likely to be at the more recent end of the radiocarbon date range.

This is false. Portugal gained independence at a time when it was a relatively insignificant Spanish province, whereas Catalonia—through the Kingdom of Aragon—held a notable Mediterranean empire.

Religiously speaking, why shouldn’t I commit suicide if it eases my pain and ends my suffering. If i think if it’s the best choice I have then my religion should support it. If I feel bad about my condition then it should be ok to go sit outside in snowstorm. Any God who is against ending suffering isn’t really worth worshipping.

You don't know what the future is.

If you were in a room with a loved one in constant pain with a terminal condition, it would be merely a matter of time until you understood their desire for euthanasia or assisted suicide.

Because suicide sends you straight to Hell, which is endless pain and suffering. Better to endure temporary pain in exchange for eternal bliss.

>Their villages are not laid out in the Roman style, with buildings adjacent and connected. Every man leaves an open space round his house, perhaps as a precaution against the risk of fire, perhaps because they are inexpert builders. They do not even make use of stones or walltiles; for all purposes they employ rough-hewn timber, ugly and unattractive-looking. Some parts, however, they carefully smear over with a clay of such purity and brilliance that it looks like painting or coloured design. They also have the habit of hollowing out underground caves, which they cover with masses of manure and use both as refuges from the winter and as storehouses for produce. Such shelters temper the keenness of the frosts; and if an invader comes, he ravages the open country, while these hidden excavations are either not known to exist, or else escape detection simply because they cannot be found without a search.

How do pagans and neo-pagans answer the problem of the triumph of Abrahamic religions over paganism?

Option 1: The pagans were defeated because their gods don't exist.
Option 2: The pagans were defeated because the Abrahamic God is more powerful than the pagan gods.
Option 3: The pagans were defeated even though their gods were real and could have helped them but simply chose not to do so and they didn't care that their worshippers were being persecuted, slaughtered and forcibly converted to serve another God, their temples were being destroyed and/or reconverted to temples for the Abrahamic God, their oracles were silenced and their myths suppressed.

I see no way in which the pagans end up looking good. Thoughts?

You contested my claim that not only did the Pagans write their rituals down, but we still have those writings. You then listed a bunch of non-Pagan writings. Multiple of them are just regurgitating the same Roman sources which are at best biased. If you want to concede you were wrong, but that there are things you can take from biased Roman sources, I won't disagree. But you do have to concede your original disagreement is wrong.

Not all spiritual traditions are equal. Some cults are false and degenerate, and while I think Christianity is one of these, there can likewise be "pagan" faiths that may be based on falsehood. I do not know anything about Amerindian religion so I cannot judge whether it is based on true spirituality or not. If it is based on falsehoods, it is likely that its rites had merely psychological effects, or at worst, were conducted for the benefit of malevolent demons. Some inferior traditions invoke such forces, even in uncontrolled ways.
