But "officially" it's... https://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/flags/countrys/europe/poland.htm
```Red and white have long been associated with Poland and its coat of arms. On the modern flag, white is said to represent the hope for peace by all of Poland's people, while red recalls the many struggles for freedom over the centuries.```'
so red is NOT communism
gotcah
Red usually symbolizes the blood shed by your nation
Its the same for the American flag
Even the communist flags the red represents blood splilled.
"Although the color red has always had positivity attributed to it in Russian culture, in the Soviet Union flag, the red field symbolizes the blood of the workers and farmers that was spilled during their struggle for liberation in the 1917 Russian Revolution, by honoring the red flag of the Paris Commune of 1871."
"It is said that theย redcolor of theย Chineseย flagย represents the blood of the heroes who sacrificed their lives during the revolution.ย "
Same for the Kurdish flag. Red represents the blood of the martyrs and the people
in germany the red symbolizes the carpet we roll out for the US <:kek:590371888480387073>
Res in the Italian one is for the tomato sauce on the pizza
@Holy Intersectional Inquisition Germany is shit these days, and prefers to roll that carpet for Russia these days.
Uhmmm I can't say much about the text, but the image is most definetly wrong. That doesn't look like the fashion of the mid 17th Century at all... looks like some random image of a black person from the mid to late 1800s
Are you saying it's a photoshop?
i doubt that they could just take a random picture of a black guy and then just put it next to the text
it all must be fake
William (April) Ellison tho... he was the type of owner people imagine when thinking of white slave owners.
And he was a black freed slave who's owner actually treated him really well and even educated him.
oof
Nigs gonna nog
think of the screeching if you did bring that up at black history month
I bring it up every time people bitch about slavery in the us. "If it wasnt for a black man the US might have kept their indentured servitude model instead."
i always bring up the ottomans
the barbary pirates
the fact that blacks sold slaves to whites
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki the dress is wrong. Either that or the dates privided
the picture does not matter that much
like i said before
No it isnt. Not everyone dressed exactly the same everywhere.

i was listening to podcast that said how medieval peasants being malnourished in childhood affected them psychosocially so that they acted less independent in later life
because of this, nobility thought of peasants as a different race
because they were factually psychologically different
and behaved in a way that was more dependent on others
just thought it was interesting
Seems interesting
But this ignores the social, religious and philosophical norms of the Era
That and environmental. Especially in the dark ages, but also standard middle ages. It was a fight for survival, so if someone promised protection that was one less thing the peasantry had to deal with.
well the era was 10th century ad
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki malnourishment is environment, no?
10th century wasn't all that known for its philosophy, mostly just being right at the end of the 'dark ages' for europe
beginning of feudalism basically
10th century was the best time to be alive
you had freedom
and clean air
and eight dead children by the time you reached middle age at 14
that is a small price to pay
for freedom
@desert hamster tenth century sucked, it was the beginning of feudalism, so feudalism was pretty bad - there was often too many obligations that the peasants paid their lord
Like people today don't have obligations
Lol
it only adjusted to leniency later - people were poorer because there was less trade from towns, towns hadn't growth to the size they would by 1300
I think people overestimate the suck of feudalism
Or attribute externalities to the political system
working for free doesn't suck?
They didn't work for free. They had all sorts of checks and balances to prevent abuse of the peasantry.
There's accounts of lords being 'sued' in a sense in the HRE
It's much more nuanced than you're led to believe
yeah there was less checks and balances in the 10th century id say
because that was the beginning of when kings grew powerful
Sure, but you got to eat, and you were defended from danger
before then, there wasn't even inheritance for monarchs - it wasn't assured, unless it was some big dynasty like carolingians
also slavery existed in huge numbers
and there were ay-rabs at dem borders
Yes, but not hereditary like in the US
what do you mean by that
Slavery in America? Blacks were slaves by default
Children of slaves were also slaves
no inheritance
?
Of what?
oh nvm
yeah slavery was hereditary i think in some contexts
Some?
Most
in the 10th century anyway - this was the dark ages, this was before all that feudalistic fairness stuff got started really
The dark ages is a myth
well it's a rough debate if you go before 11th century
Being a peasant and being a slave are different things
i know
anyway, gotta go to work
@Fitzydog serfs were one of the most liberated people in history
they had their huts
and their religion
and their lords
no serf was ever banned from facebook or twitter
Depends how you define liberty and freedom
serously, i feel less free now then i did 20 years ago
with all the tech advancement that follow your every action
and record it till the end of civilization
Because we are less free.
But the leftists define freedom as 'free from want'
@desert hamster that is more anonymity than freedom.
yes, but i could drink and drive like a lunatic
and only get a slap on the wrist
.....
<:cleanyourroom:429612328192049152>
i got it out of my system then
i did not try to find myself by trying to chop off my balls
like teens do today
people are now scared of their own shadows
I've driven a motor vehicle with a beer in the cup holder before
But it was off-road lmao
well no cops there
ah
i just realized why you dont like napoleon
I greatly respect Napoleon's military genius in strategy, tactics, logistics and vision. But as a ruler he was absolutely ruthless
that he was
but all were during that period
they had to be
such were the times
His personality as well, was that of a tyrant. He was a genius, but also full of himself.
He comoletely abandoned his entire army of Egypt in order to stage a coup in France to proclaim himself first consul. It would have to be the British who transported them back to France
he was an egomaniac for sure
but in the end
he brought more positive changes then bad
Well France at the time did need a no bullshit leader to stabilise it just like now

the maya collapsed because of deforestation caused by their desire to build higher temples
degenerates
That seems doubtful
Like a shoehorned argument in order to push a modern agenda
I'll put money on 'we don't know' being the more accurate answer
@Fitzydog its a bunch of things, but that's one of them, coupled with thinner soil and erosion as a result of not having trees to keep soil in place - if the soil was naturally thicker, like in western europe or canada, then it'd need more erosion for it to dissappear
also, it was ancient times when people depended more on the land and less on say, planes, trains and automobiles that can just match any food deficit so long as there's enough money
That's a really cool photograph
Indeed
Ok
TIL the soviets had their own version of the space shuttle
http://www.buran.su/buranvssts-comparison.php
@Warp Dukat Yes they did
And it was basically useless due to the collapse of the Soviet Union
Some mad lad actually went there
What if he was using it as a pretense to get access to their large slave market there <:think_woke:378717098681171988>
@Fitzydog HE'S BREAKING THE CONDITIONING
Oh shit, he's tearing up his social security card!
@Fitzydog I've heard the argument before, but the reasoning was that they wanted more agricultural land, which makes more sense than temples.
@banestrum What argument?
@Fitzydog The one about mayans deforesting their land resulting in drought due to aquifers not refiling
Oh okay
They had some nice looking water gardens, though
I thought it was the Aztecs that had the water gardens
knights templar were accused of worshipping baphomet, because baphomet originally meant muhammad
and the KT was trading with muslims extensively
change my mind
shouldโve put that in twis as wolfenstein is nothing But a joke at this point <:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868> @Nobel Suprise
Will, it was a reaction to the hussar video up above
tbh Iโm scared for the doom franchise. so many games have been absoloutly destroyed. Whats stopping doom from being pissed on too?
Doom 6: Dame
realizing that pandering to certain ideologies doesnt make money
and dont develop games in sweden, france or california anymore
or canada
though canada and france are halfway okay
anyone got a good book or documentary on the chinese cultural revolution?
this is a history channel, you weebs
And Thier conversation no matter how poorly placed on this server is now a part of history.
So....
The madman was told is dead, spat in the face of the speaker
interesting factoid
Im going to call bullshit on that
Or be skeptical
Dis- is a common prefix, and we love to create compound words in english
Merriam-Webster mention it but don't go definative...

```Many people think "disinformation" is a literal translation of the Russian "dezinformatsiya," ```

Who wants to guess what this is? (As in, I already know and I'm asking you)
Winner gets a cookie
APC
Probably could be repurposed as one, yes...
A submerged tank ?
Because it has air tubes like a submarine to go submerge
complete random guess based on nothing but is it an E-25 Sturmgeschutz
Maus
I could see where you're getting the E-25 Sturmgeschutz from
It does sorta look like one
all I can guess is that it's some sort of TD
It is the E25
the back end anyway
The German designer tried to have it patented in the early 60s with the US
will PM you my home address for you to send the cookie to
interesting...

Yeah, I've been following this @Jabba's Soapbox
For those who don't want to go looking, the Tl;DR is this:
There's (way) TOO MANY opportunities for random chance and 'noise' in the evolutionary process, and the appearance of entirely new species is too sudden with little to no transition in a reasonable time in the fossil record.
This is not to say that there is a 'god' guiding this process, but that the evidence indicates external/unknown factors in the evolutionary process.
i.e. niches are filled VERY quickly with very little room for trial and error, and little divergence in phenotypes between niches. (Why does the Tasmanian Tiger look so similar to canines, despite being completely unrelated to them in every sense?)
an awful lot of problematic language in that advert <:triggered:382980748115968000>
@Capitรกn Alatriste related to a conversation we had a while back.
This is about the depravity of Berlin in the 1930s
And people that is a person that never have read any history books. Even Japan's history books attribute the nukes to their surrender
This is a common commie talking point
I find the siege of Budapest very interesting. I was able to visit the underground hospital bunkers wher le the last firefights took place
Dayum
is the term 'feudalism' inherently marxist or no?
"From your post, it would seem that you are interested in the shift in comparative economic power and enfranchisement away from landholders to capital owners. Or rather, because land can be classified as capital, owners of financial capital."
like wtf, lol
i think the actual definition is feudalism "landholders granted land on basis of loyalty to granter"
rather than "landholders granted land on basis of capital exchange"
simply saying 'capital exchange' destroys the leftist narrative, does it?
What the fuck are you on about? Lol
None of what you said makes sense
quite funny
white man comes, gives gifts medicine food, money
villagers become entitled, feel like they're owed more and more, threaten him and demand more gibs
human nature
@Fitzydog it was me responding to comments on reddit, which i gave in quotes
primitive peoples always have trouble integrating
same with any drastically different culture i suspect, integration has to be slow
august resents the guy because he feels he needs to catch up to the modern world, but that welsh man is the only way he can, so he feels like the welsh guy has all this power over him
it's an uncontrollable human feeling
imagine if earth was at the edge of the universe, and there was this alien civilization that was much larger
and some alien comes to earth and says, well all alien trinkets can only be bought with alien money, which is worth a million times more than any currency on earth
so the only way to get alien money is through the alien guy who comes to earth and talks to you
meanwhile, earthlings are fully aware of alien civilization, it gets broadcast on the internet, tv, etc.
there are successful humans that move up in alien society, but then there's an underclass living on earth
and you can move up if you have enough alien money, but the only way to get that money is through like one guy
and you can't afford a trip to the alien land
i think that's what i feels like
and say the aliens have a cure for cancer, but it can only be bought with alien money
your friends have cancer, etc.
i think that this isnt fully comparable
how so
the feeling, maybe
but the difference lies in how to achieve it
last thing you would do is sperg out towards the alien friend
say, in order to integrate into alien society, you have to give up western values too
