Soo first of i have no particular opinion on jews or any other race. I am atheist and so view all religion as bad. I just want to know one thing.

Can someone please explain to me why the Jews are so hated? Like in a lot of countries they have a history of anti semitic tropes, killing them etc. I don't mean the propoganda and scapegoating the nazis did.. From before that.. What is the origins of this hate?

I know it's most likely a very complex and nuanced answer so I would appreciate if you even could point me somewhere not utterly biased or rasict

I'm not looking to do research on it, just interested in Greek mythology and recently Greek history.

I was under the impression that holocaust denier get auto ban on this sub.

My question is regard user who deny other genocides, such as the Japanese genocide of Chinese, or a Armenian genocide... Etc do they get auto ban as well?

This quote is commonly paraded around as an accurate reflection of an institutional zeitgeist:

I am hard, but I am fair! There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on [various curses; the moderators prefer the quote presented as such]. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved corps. Do you maggots understand that?

I was wondering about this yesterday and while I could think of various reasons, they're still just my not so well founded speculation so I'd be quite curious what experts say about this. I also have a few side questions in this text.

First of all the climate is harsher than in, say, North America and other popular destinations. While farming is less lucrative, there were still lucrative sources of income like fur.

How aware were people in Europe about the Russian eastward expansion anyway? Did commoners know at all? Was there any spirit of exploration?

Russia was never particularly known for having attractive political conditions for foreigners. Did people really care about that when migrating to the colonial Americas either though?

The only relevant international migration I can think of is that of the Volga Germans, which weren't even East of the Ural mountains though. Were there any other such cases and were there any attempts to create independent states in this vast land?

But ultimately it all boils down to: What made the Russian Far East so much less attractive to migrate to than pretty much anywhere else outside of Europe and the rest of Asia?

Pretty much the title, but did they have any idea about one another? Geographically they’re not that close and I am unsure if either migrated that far north or south. To further add why was there such a big differentiation in culture? The Natives of the North are often seen as nomadic tribesmen, whereas the south they had grand cities and civilizations. Is there any known reason for either?

I'd assume the majority of people who didn't feel strongly would just stay put and avoid rocking the boat, but are there notable instances of people staying behind and end up spying or sabotaging, or alternatively, being arrested on suspicion of such? Did a significant amount of people uproot and cross the border in either direction?

Really anything at all about the subject would be interesting, even if it doesn't answer my specific questions.

Wikipedia’s article on the demographics of Mexico uses census data from 1793 and 1921. It states that in 1793, indigenous Mexicans made up 66.1% of the population. But by 1921, they were only 29.1% of the population, while Mestizos were almost 60%. Additionally, I remember reading that an 1820 census found that 60% of Mexicans spoke an indigenous language, which I interpret as meaning at least 60% of Mexico was indigenous at that time.

I also know that Spanish census data isn’t completely accurate due to its tendency to over- and underestimate the indigenous population.

What caused the decline? Was it a rapid growth in the non-indigenous population or a tendency for indigenous people to identify as Mestizo?

It recently came to my attention how gruesomely Russian POW's during world war 2 in a camp nearby were treated. When digging around about this I started to wonder whether these POW camps were under of the Wehrmacht or the SS (like the concentration camps), because if they were under control of the Wehrmacht the treatment would be an enormous warcrime on their part. I personally am talking about the Emslandlager in particular but any other POW camps that can serve as an example will do. Thanks in advance!

I've always wondered why did Napoleon invade Egypt in 1798. At that point in time, it doesn't seem like Egypt was anything more than a part of the Ottoman Empire, as the Suez Canal wasn't built yet, nor was Egypt part of the British Empire. So why would Napoleon lead such a campaign?

Were plays at that time commonly preformed after everyone went through the major plot points real quick, or was that just a device he used to help his audiences understand what was going on? I'm imagining a pantomime of a Shakespeare play containing a play-within-play, before the play, and my head is spinning.

I was reading the transcontinental tale of Moncacht-Ape (here) earlier today and found myself questioning - as do many historians, on further research - the extent of his travels. Certain omissions - the Rocky Mountains, dry lands of the Columbian Plateau - seem to suggest that some of the story is embellished or altered. On the other hand, important aspects of the story seem credible, and there are no fantastic additions.

While examining the story, though, I find myself considering the credibility given by modern writers to Hanno and Pytheas, which, so far as I know, also come from single sources and portions of whose journey seem ill-defined or incredible. It seems like there's some eurocentrism in how little known Moncacht-Ape's incredible journey is.

So, my questions is - how incredible is his story, from a professional historiography standpoint? How does it rank with other well known and popularized explorations at the periphery of the historical record, like those of Hanno and Pytheas?

I just can't understand why the story is titled after one name for the city, but the same city is referred to by a different name in the story itself?

The person who told me this said that Hitler’s father was an alcoholic which made more sense, but I also have heard that the actual SS Officers were often themselves heavy drinkers or even drug users. So how was alcohol treated in 1930s/40s Germany?

Was wondering what prisons Visigothic kingdom (or other kingdoms in the same historical era-- 418–c. 721) would prisoners not of nobility be incarcerated in? Also, what are some of the conditions inside such prisons?

How often would they have eaten meat? Would all food have been cooked at home, or would bread and "processed foods" be sourced from outside? Did habits change significantly between regions, and across the rural-urban divide?

I am really interested in reading them to enrich my knowlodge about Roman society (maybe use them as a primary source for a Future essay ?) I tried looking for them in the library of my university, but all they had was "on the republic", "on the laws" and some speeches, tried looking for them on the internet, no luck either, only PDFs and i would prefer to read a physical copy instead of a PDF, also, which of the 4 groups should i start with ?
