Ok I'll start. The intervention of the US in 1917 in the great war hugely tipped the scales in the entente's favor. Leading to greater negotiating power at the Paris peace accords and the eventual brutal territory seizing and monetary stipulations on the central powers at the treaty of Versailles.

2018-06-28 01:02:18 UTC

TLDR - It's our fault

2018-06-28 01:02:21 UTC

ooh new channel

2018-06-28 01:02:49 UTC

Yeah just saw it too

2018-06-28 01:03:02 UTC

Soo essentially we caused WWII

2018-06-28 01:03:17 UTC

IMPORTANT

2018-06-28 01:03:34 UTC

Butterfly effect

2018-06-28 01:03:43 UTC

The real question is , why did the (((international press))) want us in the war so bad?

2018-06-28 01:04:08 UTC

They correctly assessed our warmaking ability?

2018-06-28 01:04:11 UTC

why wouldn't it

2018-06-28 01:04:15 UTC

war is money

2018-06-28 01:04:35 UTC

among other things

2018-06-28 01:05:02 UTC

I'm a proponent of the "muh lusitania" argument being insufficient

2018-06-28 01:06:29 UTC

It's almost like after the central banks were established the US has been used as an attack dog in a series of proxy wars

2018-06-28 01:07:43 UTC

Like aside from the Mexican telegram and the lusitania, what reason did we have to intervene?

2018-06-28 01:50:31 UTC

this but the goats are nibbas

2018-06-28 01:57:05 UTC

Rofl

2018-06-28 02:05:56 UTC

videos like these are great for perspective

2018-06-28 02:17:33 UTC

Yeah I love those time lapse map vids

2018-06-28 02:18:50 UTC

You know Alexander had to do it to 'em.

2018-06-28 02:21:09 UTC

Alexander was fantastic

2018-06-28 02:21:46 UTC

Muh horse lanes

2018-06-28 02:34:00 UTC

Though I would say that Ptolemy was ironically a better general and administrator.

2018-06-28 02:52:09 UTC

I admittedly don't know as much as I should about Ptolemy

2018-06-28 03:16:38 UTC

Pretty badass guy, my rational for him being better than alexander is thus. Alexander used his Macedonian army to beat all the occidental armies, then Ptolemy beat *that* army with Egyptian levy troops and some Macedonian Calvary.

2018-06-28 03:17:20 UTC

the companions :)

2018-06-28 03:17:43 UTC

He might not have been as much as a luminary but he held his territory for a lot longer and his dynasty lasted all the way to that thot Cleopatra.

2018-06-28 03:18:09 UTC

right

2018-06-28 03:18:48 UTC

Why is history so vast. so hard to learn it all

2018-06-28 03:19:05 UTC

I guess you could apply that same thinking to a lot of figures. That the guy that beats the guy that was famous for beating other guys is dank.

2018-06-28 03:19:10 UTC

Could spend a year on caesar in Gaul alone

2018-06-28 03:19:15 UTC

For sure.

2018-06-28 03:19:46 UTC

Caesar in Gaul is one of the earliest anti-insurgent manuals really.

2018-06-28 03:20:20 UTC

F vercingetorix

2018-06-28 03:20:52 UTC

Tfw the romans are balls deep in your territory and you call the other chieftains for help who could completely surround him with superior number but they say "nah"

2018-06-28 03:21:52 UTC

Hell, I'd be scared to get on Rome's bad side too

2018-06-28 03:22:44 UTC

Rome's early strategy is kind of like prison you know? You pick a fight with the biggest guy on the Mediterranean then no one wants to mess with you.

2018-06-28 03:23:27 UTC

idk much about early republic

2018-06-28 03:25:07 UTC

I mean in terms of them reking carthage over the punic wars

2018-06-28 03:25:22 UTC

Hannibal did nothing wrong

2018-06-28 03:25:29 UTC

he was a son of a bitch

2018-06-28 03:25:42 UTC

Honestly he really didn't.

2018-06-28 03:25:46 UTC

Gg scipio

2018-06-28 03:25:47 UTC

He a good boi

2018-06-28 03:26:13 UTC

tfw you rek a kid so hard it becomes part of your name

2018-06-28 03:26:37 UTC

seriously, F Carthage

2018-06-28 03:26:42 UTC

They got fucked so hard

2018-06-28 03:27:35 UTC

Honestly any civilization that relies on mercenary armies that hard deserves destruction.

2018-06-28 03:27:48 UTC

Hmm, I see that

2018-06-28 03:28:00 UTC

Ironically as the romans would learn to their chagrin

2018-06-28 03:29:09 UTC

Man, I can't wait to visit Rome again.

2018-06-28 03:29:29 UTC

SPQR scrolled on everything in sight

2018-06-28 03:29:43 UTC

That's amazing, I'd love to go one day

2018-06-28 03:30:11 UTC

I'm lucky my parents brought me along to Italy back in the day

2018-06-28 03:31:31 UTC

Saw Venice, Florence, Rome, Sorrento

2018-06-28 03:32:04 UTC

It's really something else

2018-06-28 03:32:20 UTC

I hate American cities now

2018-06-28 03:48:28 UTC

Yeah, most inner cities are downright depressing nowadays. You know Detroit used to be called the Paris of America?

2018-06-28 03:50:37 UTC

Which sounds absolutely retarded now

2018-06-28 12:42:50 UTC

Almost sounds accurate tbh

2018-06-28 12:43:20 UTC

given the state of Paris nowadays, lol

2018-06-28 13:48:31 UTC

Yea, Paris is the Detroit of Europe now. ๐Ÿ’ฉ

2018-06-29 01:43:47 UTC

rofl

2018-06-29 01:43:49 UTC

Too true

2018-06-30 22:28:54 UTC

Bismark, did nothing wrong? OR cucked the Kaiser a bit too much and lead to junker repression in the traditional power structures of the country?

2018-07-23 02:44:00 UTC

@Attrition in the desert What do you know about the Congolese war? I was watching some video of it, and the squad tactics seem very undisciplined. I know most of the Europeans were mercenaries from Belgium and England. Do you know anything about the minimum requirements for a contract? It seems like they weren't too picky

2018-07-23 12:45:10 UTC

From what I understand the European involvement was more of a loose coalition of private MCmercs under some African militia colonel. Kind of like the French foreign legion but with the added baggage of Belgium's history of doing nothing wrong in the congo

2018-07-23 13:22:27 UTC

Lel

2018-07-23 13:22:45 UTC

Right, I knew that, it's just that those mercs seemed especially incompetent

2018-07-23 13:23:49 UTC

Mercenaries are usually a pretty retarded solution anyway

2018-07-23 13:24:42 UTC

Clearly the best solution to insurrection in central Africa is a few good men in short shorts

2018-07-23 13:26:46 UTC

That being said, King Leopold had a literal gold mine in the Congo for a while, if I was betting on any African country to rise up with the benefits of colonialism in the 19th century it would have been them or perhaps the ivory coast

2018-07-23 13:28:22 UTC

I think Jarod Taylor actually talks about it in some interview I've seen

2018-07-23 13:29:12 UTC

The Congo is a miserable place to live. After the benefits of European medicine were cut, it's no surprise to me that the people living there went back to barely being able to survive

2018-07-23 13:31:04 UTC

It's truly staggering that a people living next to Arabs that had invented the wheel, could not even *adopt* the wheel until civilization was forced upon them

2018-07-23 13:33:38 UTC

I have a short book on the history of Zanzibar that you might like

2018-07-23 13:34:57 UTC

Nice, what's the title? I've been getting into the history of the Berber people lately and the bastion of civilization that north Africa used to be

2018-07-23 13:35:39 UTC

I still maintain that St.Augustine was white

2018-07-23 13:38:04 UTC

The History and Economics of Zanzibar or some shit

2018-07-23 13:46:28 UTC

You ever hear about Mansa musa?

2018-07-24 19:25:21 UTC

Berbers are a very interesting people

2018-07-24 19:27:26 UTC

Yeah they are pretty white

2018-07-24 19:28:17 UTC

I think they are descended from the original Phoenician peoples that mingled with the romans and just identify as "arab" on government surveys.

2018-07-24 19:32:36 UTC

@Attrition in the desert what's Mansa Musa?

2018-07-24 19:33:16 UTC

@Attrition in the desert @Louis Loire - NY that girl looks extremely African in that portrait

2018-07-24 19:34:54 UTC

@John O - He was an African King that went on Hajj through parts of Europe and dispersed huge amounts of gold (Of which he had no idea the value of) and crashed the economy of several states along the way lol

2018-07-24 19:42:24 UTC

She is African berbers are without a doubt Africans they were in northern Africa before most Arabs and blacks @John O -

2018-07-24 19:44:30 UTC

They are white Genetics wise no other way to get blue eyes/ blond hair besides serious mutation

2018-07-24 19:47:01 UTC

@Attrition in the desert Oh yeah, I've heard of him, but only throught the context of pro-white media. "The richest man in the history of the world was African".

2018-07-24 19:47:52 UTC

I like how they will say "We can't actually measure his wealth" and "He was the richest man of all time" in the same paragraph.

2018-07-24 19:48:46 UTC

What was your train of thought yesterday, though? Why did you bring him up?

2018-07-24 19:50:21 UTC

We were talking about the ethnic multiplicity of North Africa, Mansa Musa is perhaps a perfect metaphor for the vast riches of an extremely wealthy region being in the hands of people too uncivilized to appreciate or capitalize on it.

2018-07-24 19:52:27 UTC

If we think about North Africa during the time of the Punic wars or the Ptolemies or even When the Bishop of Alexandria ran everything as a quasi-roman theocracy it was pretty based. I think the region has potential to rise above the ooga booga and tap the vast resources of the dark continent.

2018-07-24 19:52:54 UTC

With white people of course

2018-07-24 20:11:12 UTC

I'm always suspicious of the veracity of the stories of the superiority of the white man and the savagery of the black man. The question here is, if they didn't recognize the value of gold, where did they get so much of it? They probably didn't trade it, which means they probably sunk huge amounts of man power into mines. Why would they do that if they thought it was worthless?

2018-07-24 20:14:25 UTC

The reason I question these stories is because it's very important for us to stay grounded in reality. There's a reason why the Hoteps are laughed at by everyone, and it's not jealousy
