Imagine my rage when someone says they like ancient greek history, and then they start talking about the hebrew mythology worshipping purple stain on the map that was the byzantine "roman" empire.

If you don't agree with half of those, then I'm afraid you're the bluepilled one.

>Hitler was the bad guy during World War II True? >The Crusades was Christians slaughtering innocent Muslims That was part of it, do you disagree? >Islam was spread by peaceful missionaries True for some regions such as Indonesia and others, for other it was done through violence. >Race was invented in the 1800s I mean, people always knew that there were differences but they're talking about this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Friedrich_Blumenbach >Saddam Hussein did 9/11 I might believe that someone actually made this claim if you're American. >FDR "saved" the economy by taking away our gold I don't know enough to comment on this >Blacks invented peanut butter, gas mask, traffic light, and blood plasma 99% sure this conversation never took place and you just found it on some ironic "we wuzz" page. >Jesus never existed :^) >Einstein invented the atomic bomb Stupid belief. >Columbus was responsible for killing millions of Native Americans Depends how you assign responsibility. >Native Americans were great environmentalists Half truth. >White settlers destroyed the buffalo D-didn't they?.... >Prohibition "didn't work" It didn't unless you got a wierd definition of the word "work". >Richard Nixon expanded the Vietnam War Nixon hate is so common that I can't fault people for this one. >The Founding Fathers believed in "separation of church and state" I don't know enough to comment on this. >The Rosenbergs were innocent I don't know about this either. >The 1950s were dull and boring Subjective. >Muslim terrorists hate us because we support Israel That's a factor, others include propping up regimes that repress them, aswell as indiscriminate bombing. >Income tax is necessary to have a functioning society Yap.

>Hitler was the bad guy during World War II This one's true tho. >Columbus was responsible for killing millions of Native Americans Depends how vaguely you define responsibility, and even if it's that vague, Isabella seems more logical >Prohibition "didn't work" It didn't. >The Founding Fathers believed in "separation of church and state" Jefferson literally coined the phrase >Muslim terrorists hate us because we support Israel If the US didn't poke shit in their back yard, they literally would have no reason to go after the US, they'd just keep blowing up other muslims in said back yard.
Thomas Ward
Well technically islam was spread through peaceful means. Aside from Indonesia, eastern and western africaa dn central asia most conversions went like this. >muslims conquer place >locals either convert or pay more taxes >some muslims orders start preaching islam and together with lesser taxes locals convert
The muslims come in and convert everyone by the sword is a retarded meme. Places like egypt and persia for example took centuries to be majority because it was a slow and mostly peaceful process.
>White settlers destroyed the buffalo One of the theories I've read was that Buffalo populations were fairly small in precolombian times, but they exploded once the postcolombian plagues wiped out the native populations that kept the buffalo population in check.
So while that user is still retarded, he's (hopefully) referring to the fact that the absurdly large buffalo herds famous in the Old West were likely themselves an "unnatural" unsustainable event.
There's a similar theory for Passenger Pigeons, whose populations seem to have been kept in check until the postcolombian period.

People who discuss racial differences in intelligence are almost always talking about the differences in IQ scores, which measure intelligence, rather than ASVAB scores, which measure knowledge.
Most people don't know what an ASVAB is.

literally how were crusaders in the wrong other than the shit they did to Byzantium.
Eli Green
The purpose of prohibition was not to reduce alcohol consumption. It was supposed to be a golden age of productivity and it failed miserably . Instead, it added to the problems it was intended to solve and supplanted other ways of addressing problems. The only beneficiaries of Prohibition were bootleggers, crime bosses, and the forces of big government.
>The purpose of prohibition was not to reduce alcohol consumption. Stopped reading there. Yes that was literally the goal, it was pushed by feminist temperance leagues butthurt that their husbands were drinking too much.
