All major historical events were a complete surprise to contemporary experts.
They all went against “current trends”.
All those past experts believed that tomorrow would always be an extension of yesterday. With today as a midpoint.
Rational,empirical,logical.
In hindsight, we can all sift through tons of facts to provide a rational narrative to explain what was inexplicable to our ancestors. We then pronounce ourselves as smarter,savvier,better educated, and more evolved than those poor fools caught flat-footed in the past.
So, with our better understanding, through hindsight of world events, we know what’s going to happen. Not only that, but we know what was done wrong in the past; so of course those mistakes will never be repeated and the future will be ours to control.
What hubris!
It’s like a man walking.
He approaches an intersection. He looks at his watch and says to himself,”Well yesterday at 9:31 AM I crossed this street and there were no cars. It is now 9:31 AM. Historically, there have been no cars. Therefore, I can cross safely”.
You might view this example as silly.
But this type of causal reasoning is endemic to western white people.
The most dedicated “aryan” superhero marching around playing Nazi is the natural enemy to a “Semmelweise”.
Can’t anybody think for themselves anymore?
ME:
“All major historical events were a complete surprise to contemporary experts.” is GREAT!

I wonder what most people were doing the day before the land bridge broke and the sea swept in so long ago? Probably cleaning, cooking, buying, selling, building, making plans. Only a few were seeing that, that barrier was going to break and that they needed to be prepared, I bet.

“All major historical events were a complete surprise to contemporary experts.”
Experts routinely fail to perceive WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DETERMINED.
As BW has pointed out, and ONLY BW has pointed out, nonwhites do not want to rule the world.
Instead, they want a world where they get what they want without having to shoulder the responsibility for making it work (the business of “making it actually work” being, as always, the responsibility of white people and only white people).
Consider that 65 years ago we had Japan giving up forever any desire to exercise global power, while 35 years ago the Maoists invited us back to organize China’s affairs. 10 years ago we had West and Central Africa return to us through EU administered currency unions while Indonesia never really left, being held together only through European, British and American military aid and NGOs. India returned to us through alliance with our Central Asian Fortress (they cannot afford their jet fuel without us paying for it) while they beg us to teach their middle class multitudes mortgage finance.
On and on, everywhere you look it is the same story or some sort of similar story, and make no mistake, Iran is included.
It is only a small portion of the Islamic world that refuses to come to terms with our rule, something the military is grateful for, for it is wonderful to have somebody available to beat the hell out of, be able to justify it, and get paid for it too.
And we are literally drowning in the role of “big dog”, the whole world wanting to get close to anything and anybody white, penetrating borders in mass to prove it, or throwing bombs to disprove it, (that is throwing bombs to disprove what cannot be disproved).
All this while moronic Western European governments yet again “toll the bell at the gates of hell” for the white man (for what is more preposterous than this monstrosity they call the European Union and its un-administerable policies?)
And yet again America is caught in the trajectory of European tomfoolery and impending economic collapse.
But don’t ask to MSM to explain it for the MSM certainly doesn’t SEE it.
As is usual for WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DETERMINED.

Mark’s quote…
“As BW has pointed out, and ONLY BW has pointed out, nonwhites do not want to rule the world.”
But the real issue isn’t what non-whites want. It’s what whites want. And what whites want is a world ruled by non-whites.
We have failed in our efforts to make over the savage as a human as we define it. But….
Failure is not an option.
