We need a giant battlefield movie, set in any period with gunfire... preferably the Seven Year's War, this would be the best way to vicariously live in the most interesting parts of all of history

With all the funds... GoPro's in the actors playing the cavalry, artillery, officers, rankers, battlefield observers.. jumping to the king's point of view ( in some cases the General himself ) showing BOTH sides of the conflict. or third parties like nearby villagers or deserters

The scale will need to be huge, 40,000 ideally...

With so many perspectives (goProCams) you'd get a like a movie in the third dimension, you wouldn't necessarily sit down and watch it, though it could be edited that way for multiple movies within the battle, or you'd click on different cameras while the movie is playing throughout time and choose what you are watching and from who's point of view

6 hours worth of a continuous acting on a battlefield with high tech special effects and scripting would produce the most content ever

If Europeans are considerate to their ancestors they could work together to make it happen, i mean by god! they've been doing it for 300 years, this is a minor project to them!

I was thinking about black people in Africa. How they are starving and poor. How all the foods Americans throw out and waste. And no matter how much food you throw out, it will have no effect one way or the other on Africa. Even if you don't throw out 1 piece of food the whole year, Africa will still starve.

I was thinking how to save the Africans. Keep giving them care packages and support. But it seems futile. They just keep fucking women, making more and more babies. JUST STOP FUCKING WOMEN. Is what I said. But a life of being incel is not living. Telling a male to not fuck women is like telling a bear to not eat honey.

I realize now the only way to save Africa. Sterilize half the population. There is no criterion to who gets sterilized. Its a coin flip. Its just. Its fair. It only applies to countries in Africa that have starvation. After many years of thinking how to save Africa, this is the only way.

I dislike racist ideologies. They try to dehumanize Africans, try to make them seem as less than people. But they are people. They are suffering. This is the way to save Africa. We sterilize precisely because we care. Or you can be a lib, act outraged, tell me I'm wrong, tell me you're offended, so you can feel good about yourself and pat yourself on the back. Pretend there isn't an issue and pretend your lib doctrine is somehow helping the situation. While there are actually people out there suffering.

Also, I was banned from 4chan for no reason, fuck them. That place is infested by tards anyway. Literally banning the person who's going to help civilization the most, no wonder civilization is a dystopia. I was gonna post in the International forum but I don't see one here, this is the closest I could find.

As far as population goes, Africa deals with the same thing Palestinians deal with.

There's an ingrained sense of urgency to procreate when the average life expectancy and average age of the population drops dramatically. Sterilizing half the population will be a very temporary fix, and could very well cause more harm than good.

The main problem with Africa is the "Paradox of Plenty". They have what most of the world needs, whether it be rare-earth minerals, oil, or other natural resources, but mismanagement (usually caused by outside influences) strangles the population while propping up despots.

Their natural resources that consumers in developed nations by for a huge premium are bought at a huge discount, regardless of the back-breaking labor it takes to extract them, the environmental impact, and what's considered "fair market pricing".

So in short, capitalism, neo-colonialism, and economic imperialism all propping up dictatorial and corrupt leaders (because they're the easiest to bribe) are the problems.

That's not how it works. Poorer countries often have higher fertility rate which grows closer to replacement rate as the economy improves. China introduced one child policy when it was quite poor before removing it recently. India had ~5 children per couple in the 70s and is closer to ~2.4 now.

Sterilizing is just a forced bandaid, not the solution to the core problem.

Finland has become the 31st member of the Nato security alliance, doubling the length of member states' borders with Russia.

The Finnish foreign minister handed the accession document to the US secretary of state who declared Finland a member.

Then in bright sunshine in front of Nato's gleaming new headquarters, Finland's white-and-blue flag joined a circle of 30 other flags.

Finland's accession is a setback for Russia's Vladimir Putin.

He had repeatedly complained of Nato's expansion before his full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said by attacking his neighbour, the Russian leader had triggered exactly what he had sought to prevent.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned that Russia would be "watching closely" what happens in Finland, describing Nato's enlargement as a "violation of our security and our national interests".

There's one (only one) example of an angel in the Bible that is described as having swan's wings. I think it's in Ezekiel, might be Isaiah... All other angels are not described with wings, save maybe a few Revelations ones but I can't recall any.

Ezekiel and Isaiah are very old books, and likely the source for winged figures across the globe. Previously cherubs were depicted as the Heavenly winged creatures, cherubs are some sort of beast with odd features.

If you haven't heard before, there's this news channel called "China Uncensored." In it, the host says one thing after another pointing out every possible fault about China, and I had the suspicion you could do a similar thing with all other countries on the globe.

/hi/

I want a good overview book of the Crimean War but it doesn't really seem like there is a canon account of this historical period. Figes has written one, but he's a rather modern historian. All the published histories of the Crimean War seem pretty modern.

What do you think of Orlando Figes? Is he a solid, dependable writer? Do you think that he would show a pro-British bias in this book?
