Pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon culture and pre-Christian Norse culture were almost identical. They even shared many of the same myths and spiritual beliefs. That being the case, why have Vikings become so big in pop culture whereas most normies barely know who the Anglo-Saxons even were?
>>8784914Anglo Saxon Christianized before Scandinavians did.We have significant writings of Scandinavian culture from Iceland, we don't for the Saxons.
>>8786335the christian missionaries should stop with the christianization of local cultures identity because they're not christian people should find faith on their own. The missionaries probably don't want their converts to give up christianity if the missionary told them to stop going to the which doctor or doing things of the old belief.
>>8786335Well you kind of can't. If you push them too far, they're going to reject you. The fact ring around the roses is a fucking pagan flower worship ritual and "Easter" comes from the fertility God ritual "Eostre" suggest as long you accepted the J man, they'd take it.
>>8786371But then how does Islam attract such zealous converts?
>>8786796Well how do you know it did. The Yazidis still worship a version of islam where they worship Satan and he's said to be a peacock.

What was the closest era/setting in history to the hollywood, or rather the spaghetti western portrayal of the 'wild west' i.e outlaws, lawmen, wandering rogues and a vast frontier land?pic unrelated
>>8785780Western movies are usually set during the post-Civil War years, and before automobiles became even somewhat common, which places them usually between 1866 up to the very early 1900s. Normally, the more conventional time period is some time between the late 1860s through the 1880s, with some set earlier or later than that. A notable Civil War era western is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and one set after 1900 is Duck, You Sucker.

Historically, why have globalists been so unintelligent?>Be first worlder>Born with unprecedented wealth and comforts thanks to your ancestors>Decide that this is unfair, become egalitarian and see a metanarrative of oppressors versus victims>60's and 70'sHow is this the "right side of history?" Why do democrat dumbfucks ignore the obvious contradiction of their naive worldview?

>>8786418United States has been the peak of globalism for centuries.
>>8786765Do you even somewhat know what you're talking about? The peak of globalism just over a century ago would have been the British Empire. How about you learn what you're talking about before coming here and showing your ass.
>>8786799United States is built on solely globalism.
>>8786802Explain your reasoning. Can you even actually define globalism or are you just spewing buzzwords?
It seems most of the hippies and co back then held similar views to the liberals today that /his/ and reddit like, for instance the hippies would be out in the streets right now for George Floyd and you agree that's a good thing.The difference though seems to be that the hippies and woodstock guys seemed to be a lot more chill and relaxed about wanting peace, love, equality, and tolerance. These guys were sitting back smoking weed, having sex, having picnics in fields. The liberals of today many of them are obnoxious and extremely violent as well as mentally ill.Is it not simply the case that the hippies and the 60s long haired guys did peace, love, and diversity the right way and the liberals today are poor and unhinged imitations?
>>8786437It doesn't matter to the company if the money comes from you or your dad anon.
>>8786414Hippies became extremely ruthless capitalists and neoliberals as they aged. A lot of the 80's 'corporate raiders' had a 'hippie phase' a couple decades earlier. It's too common to merely be a coincidence.
>>8786457Yes it does, very few people inherit enough money to sustain their entire life. The perfect WC, worker-consumer, must be a well-behaved, hardworking citizen who loves his job; not some smelly, useless hippie spouting anti-consumerist propaganda under influence of illegally purchased drugs.
>>8786489>>8786457>thinking they can plan that far ahead
>>8785180Hippies were retards that caused the west's downward spiral which we are still experiencing to this day. A real watershed moment where a culture began committing suicide.Not all of their ideas were bad, but the bad ones have caused irreparable consequences.
Its November 1918, the war just ended and you are tasked with leading the Versailles peace talks concerning EuropeWhat do you do differently to prevent WWII?You need to deal with the following:>France demands Alsace-Lorraine and massive reparations for its losses during the war>Great Britain demands limiting Germany's naval power>USA demands that small nations should be given independence (so no empire restoration)>massive anarchy and turmoil in former A-H, Russian Empire and Ottoman empire, every nationality demands independence and fights over everpresent border disputes
>>8783669>>>/meds/
ugh... what could have been...
>>8786280it's beautiful
>>8783604Give everyone self-determination, ensure Germany stays democratic and form a continental coalition with everyone against communism. Alsace-Lorraine gets to choose its own destiny, no reparations and no demilitarization (atleast until communism has been dealt with). Fuck Britain, fuck France and hail Wilson the benevolent.

Anyone else think it kinda sucks Naval warfare went the way of Aircraft carriers instead of huge battleships. I mean look at this awesome aestetic of the Yamato. Aircraft carriers look fucken gay. Military theory ruined our chance to have giant ships firing huge cannons at eachother. Instead we get gay flyboys yeehawwing and shit.
>>8783825sailing around in a huge blob of missile and sub defense ships with your carriers
>>8783389>Military theory ruined our chance to have giant ships firing huge cannons at eachother. If you had giant ships, they would be too expensive and too scarce to risk engaging in surface duels. There's a reason why Yamato and Musashi did so little in the Pacific War, even after the carriers were withdrawn post-Santa Cruz.
>>8783389They should have either invented missiles way earlier or not invented airplanes at all.It's only natural that aircraft carriers and submarines are the gods of the sea.
>>8783710One Konstantin Nechaev supposedly got into a train on train battle in China.
There were many major gun battles in ww2. The "problem", for popular historians, is they were more like skirmishes and a bit of background knowledge is needed to understand why they did not charge each other and clash swords spectacularly, not much but too much to pique people's interest.

Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, when the people of the sea rampaged the world and the rise of the sons of Odin, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Graeco-Romans, The sons of Zevs and Jvpiter, brothers of Ares and Mars , They were destined to wear the jeweled crown of the Earth upon a troubled brow. It is I, their chronicler, who alone can tell thee of their epics. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!
