@beatabooo Wrong. The fundamental milestone was done by the Phoenicians. The Greeks adapted and further developed.
English
A good example of "Bad Kanging" or: when Kanging backfires right in your face 😄
The Greek alphabet itself is a derivative from the Phoenician Alphabet (same as the Arabic writing system by the way) whereas the Phoenicians themselves developed it from Egyptian hieroglyphs. The big cultural innovation by the Phoenicians (and NOT the Greeks who were smart adapters) was the transformation of the logographic Egyptian hieroglyphs into the firs phonemic writing system in the world.
Ergo the ultimate honor goes to the Phoenicians.
Hellenist ☀️🏺⚡️@RealHellenist
All European writing systems are Greek in origin. The whole continent writes with the Alphabet born from Greeks. Latin = the Cumaean Greek alphabet. Cyrillic = a script created by Greek monks, Saints Cyril and Methodios, directly from the Greek alphabet.

We're at war in the middle east and Nitzer Ebb is on tour.
The early 90s are so back.

@MR57129325 What about Iran's state-backed projects and military campaigns in Bosnia?
English
Croatia and Serbia both had state-backed projects and military campaigns that included ethnic cleansing. Bosnia-Herzegovina, as a state, did not adopt such a policy—though crimes did occur and must be acknowledged. Blurring these distinctions only distorts what actually happened.
Will Hunting@BalkanRealism
@georgiokon But Bosniaks didn't participate in the slaughter of Serbs? Serb civilians killed themselves?

@jaddeyekabir @polidemitolog Moscow called itself the third Rome!

@polidemitolog Is Russia a European creation?
English
American neurosis toward Europe is in many aspects similar to the same phenomenon observed in Russia. Two European creations on the periphery trying to reimagine themselves through the hatred of their own origins (and failing).

In these terrible times, I choose to focus on rare victories:
Spain FINALLY ordered the removal of the Ustaša plaque honoring Vjekoslav “Maks” Luburić — the single biggest war criminal of the Croatian Nazi regime during WWII — and will add another plaque describing his crimes.

it’s bc the US government rebranded it from cannabis to sound more “mexican” during the reefer madness era. it’s racism

The best novels about social life I know are Sentimental Education by Flaubert, Bel Ami by Maupassant, Forbidden Colors by Mishima and Red and the Black by Stendhal; also incidentally the best novels on women. Any similar suggestions? Pls only at comparable skill level…

Hollywood did make a film about Jеwish gangsters. It’s called “Once Upon A Time In America,” and it was Sergio Leone’s final masterpiece that he waited his whole career to finally be able to make, and it was produced by Arnon Milchan, an Israeli billionaire who is openly a Mossad operative— who also makes a cameo in the film, as a driver who turns a blind eye to one of the most horrific rаpe scenes in movie history.
The movie is almost 4 hours long. Unlike other mobster films, it shockingly doesn’t romanticize this mob not one bit. It portrays every character as disturbingly wretched and unforgivable. No sympathy whatsoever is inspired in the viewer. Arnon Milchan says it was his favorite of all his films to produce— and this guy produced some of the best movies of all time— Legend, Fight Club, Brazil, Devil’s Advocate, The Fountain, Natural Born Killers, and many others.
It has a star studded cast: Robert DeNiro, James Woods, Joe Pesci, Tuesday Weld.
It’s the truth hiding in plain sight. Everyone should watch that movie. It is required viewing.

there's a reason you don't know about historic international Jewish organized crime syndicates that trafficked little girls. there's a reason Hollywood never made films about these degenerates. there's a reason for the imagined public images of the victimized intellectual Jew, the terrorist Arab, the criminal Black American, the slick Italian, the decorated but absent Native American...all of these distortions were conjured by the cabals who took ownership of the airways and planted all these images in your mind to frame your every thought about the world around you.

Ne shvaćam poantu vojne "suradnje" između Hrvatske, Albanije i Kosova. S Albancima nemamo granicu, nemamo nikakvih kulturoloških poveznica. Koji je interes?
Ovo je nepotreban hir desne struje u HDZ-u na čelu s ministrom obrane Ivanom Anušićem.
Plenković je morao nešto dati desnoj frakciji da šute i ne pričaju previše. Dao im je povratak smiješnog vojnog roka u trajanju od 2 mjeseca i ovu "suradnju" koja u praksi nema nikakav vojni značaj.
Srećom ova "suradnja" s Albancima je samo mrtvo slovo na papiru bez potpisa predsjednika RH. 🇪🇺
@eagleeye2805 Modern German culture is really just a competition against French civilization. Germany tries to supersede France as the elite European nation, with mixed results.
English
Everything.
The whole modern world - ideology, philosophy, technology, music, architecture, science - has it roots in Germans and Germany (the good stuff and some bad). Even the one thing the English and Dutch are so proud of, Capitalism, had been pioneered long before by the Hanse (of which they were part).
The Chinese scholars know (and many Russians as well). That's why someone like Xi Jinping studied Immanuel Kant and can recite whole passages from Goethe's Faust. Ancient civilizations do recognize greatness.
That's enough respect for me and it's appreciated. I don't expect any acknowledgement by fellow Europeans or Americans. Too many are small time, petty and jealous (look at MAGA or Poles). Let them talk forever over 12 fucking years. It will just enhance our aura.

Can you name one thing GERMANY gave to the world?
English
@ArmchairAdml What are talking about, the Nazis conquered France but the French don't speak German today
English
The main reason Britain is not speaking German is the RAF, Royal Navy and British Army.
The Army held off the Germans and made it out of Dunkirk, the Navy was far stronger than Germany’s, and the RAF won the Battle of Britain.
Wish we’d stop with this bullshit.
David__Osland@David__Osland
The main reason Britain is 'not speaking German' is the Red Army. Not the US Marine Corps.

There’s more to Eastern Europe than Hungary, fellow American conservatives.
Have you heard of the Baltics? Poland? Czech Republic?
They’re based countries that are fairly conservative in Europe… But more prosperous *and* against China, Iran, and Russia.

@OfficialJovicic When were Romania and Bulgaria ever part of the K und K monarchy?
English
Serbia will never be part of the European Union. The EU's borders are the borders of the K und K monarchy, plus the front toward Russia."
— these are the words of Chancellor Schröder addressed to Đinđić, March 2003. Čeda Jovanović testified about this in 2021 on RTS. Willy Wimmer's letter from 2001, addressed to Schröder, says almost the same thing.
Anyone who knows how to read was told long ago, even to the late Đinđić, that there was never a plan for Serbia to be an equal member of the EU. @MitrovicDr46357 👇🏼👏🏻
Neprofesionalni_vozač@MitrovicDr46357
" Srbija nikad neće biti deo Evropske Unije. Granice EU su granice K und K monarhije, plus front prema Rusiji." — ovo su reči kancelara Šredera upućene Đinđiću, marta 2003. O tom svedočio Čeda Jovanović 2021. na RTS. Pismo Vilija Vimera iz 2001, upućeno Šrederu, kaže skoro isto. Ko ume da cita,odavno receno jos pokojnom Djindjicu da nikada nije bio plan da Srbija bude ravnorpavna clanica EU.
@Aaron_Good_ That is Sachs' version of events, it doesn't make it true
English
Webb is out of her depth here. Sachs explains here who was behind the Shock Therapy looting of Russia. Sachs sought to persuade the US to commit to stabilize rather than destabilize Russia's economy. The neocons preferred economic warfare. Sachs resigned.

@FluorescentGrey jeffrey sachs is another one whose rise in alt media makes no sense given his role in the economic destruction of post-ussr russia and the creation of a russian oligarch class tied at the hip to marc rich and israel

@CerberusFella @polidemitolog Zelensky decided to involve himself in the war with Iran, so the invasion of Lebanon and the Middle East is indeed the topic.
English
@RadDiklich @polidemitolog Your propaganda methods aren't going to work here. The topic here is Ukraine (initially Yanukovich, then you lied about Zelenskyy),not Lebanon.
Feel free to start a new topic about the invasion of Lebanon. I may even discuss it with you there.
Meanwhile, ruϟϟia is a Nazi state.
English
After years I'm tired of explaining this very simple matter - the runaway oligarch president Yanukovych never campaigned on Ukraine becoming a satellite state of Russia. He won on a platform of Euro integration and maintaining positive relations with Russia. Him breaking his promise on Euro integration brought his demise.

@eagleeye2805 In my limited experience with Europe, the Dutch people resent Germans and prize their independence
English
I say it again and again...given the new geopolitical and economic realities, the internal weakness of the EU itself, the future is the United Confederation of Germania with Germany, Netherlands and Austria as nucleus.
112 million people with an economic power of 7.3 trillion USD (PPP: 8.6 trillion USD), the high tech and logistics core of Europe.
These 3 countries already today have the closest partnership within the EU due to similar cultural and fiscal values.
This Confederation could be operational in the shortest time.
Can the Swiss, Czech, Slovenes, and Danes join? in principle yes, if they want to. Belgium only Flanders.

@johnarnold I had rent control for 7 years when I lived in Manhattan, and it was wonderful!
English
Rent control is the original sin of housing policy, requiring a thicket of rules to manage 2nd and 3rd order effects, more rules to deal with the unintended consequences of those regs, and more for those. Then add a large bureaucracy to enforce it all, and still no one is happy.
