Daily reminder.

Reminder, that you should only follow the teachings of Jesus and no one else. Your sect of Christianity, priests, bishops, and the pope should not matter. Only listen to Jesus, confess to him only

I don't think you can be more overrated than Hitler between him being military genius and anti-christ of modern times.

Unironically visit askhistorians

also
>e explicitly says in the first 30 pages or so that he is not presuming to explain all of world history, or assert that his ideas are all right, and that things are much more complicated than he could cover in one book. He literally tells you to read his book with a grain of salt.

You don't get to say lol what I'm saying might be bullshit don't believe me lol as if that means its fine to write a dumb, deterministic and oversimplified book

It's not about that, I suppose. It's just that you don't need to write a 500-something-page book to cover points that could very well fit into a 60-page essay, but it's just my opinion. It's the same thing over and over again, like a bad student struggling to come up with things to fill up his thesis.

Btw, in the book, Diamond explicitly states that all he wants is to explain why it was the Spanish who murdered the fuck out of hapless Incas, and not vice versa; alas, he never answers the most difficult question: why on Earth would several thousand people armed with clubs not try to use those clubs on 120 people with sharp metal sticks? I mean, come on, imagine you are walking down the street with 10 of your friends and you see a guy in a cuirass holding a sword. I'm sure you could restrain him with some losses.

>What are your guys pet peeves when talking about philosophy?
When people call Nietzsche a philosopher.

Positivists and Neopositivists

>>2782526
This, too.

I was talking with someone about existentialism the other day and he tried to talk about how the mind and the body are separate entities. needless to say I simply explained gestalt to him and he was BTFO for the night

First, all Swiss cantons still exist.
Switzerland was a bit the dead end of Europe around its founding time, the mountains where not passable, agricultural yield was meager, trade was not developed and it was generally ignored by major noble clans. There where some free cities in the middle country and Habsburg, Burgundy and others held some random possessions.
Then things changed, the mountain dwellers developed techniques for cattle herding on alpine meadows and opened the Gotthard pass for trade. Suddenly living conditions improved, food surplus and merchandise was produced and up to 70% of the transalpine travel of the HRE went trough Switzerland.
Now the European nobles, notably Habsburg developed an interest in the lands and the people who until now where Reichsfrei, meaning they only had to answer to the emperor itself.
The original valleys that made up the 3 initial cantons (Uri, Schwyz, Unterwalden) where organized in best Allamannic tradition, Althing assembly democratically decided the politics and elected leaders, every free man had the right to vote and the duty to fight, it is estimated that at medieval times 60% of the male population had perform military duty and be part of the militia. Constant tribal feuds and raids had made them competent warriors, plus they had some experience from mercenary work abroad.

The first recorded "constitution" of what was to become Switzerland dates back to 1291, the so called Bundesbrief details a mutual defense agreement between the 3 and also establishes a basic law of the country and certain legal traditions.

When the Habsburg tried to seized control of the mountain valleys, the Swiss resisted, the Habsburgs sent in an army, which in turn was destroyed at Morgarten 1315 by ambush tactics and the superior mobility of the mountain men.

At the same time, the city states of Zurich, Bern, Luzern and the mountain valley of Glarus had their own troubles with the Habsburg and all fought battles with them.

I'm gonna be watching this thread. Don't have anything to contribute but very interested in a rundown of Swiss history. Has the potential to be an actually good thread.

>>2782358
How did Swiss internal politics change over time? How did its development as an independent and unified state occur? Was it literally just a defense pact between villages that turned into a country? What happened to it during Napoleon's conquests? How was it viewed by its monarchic neighbours? Did it ever have a period of expansionism (I'm pretty sure it conquered some land from Milan at some point)?

>>2782358
So soon after, the City states allied with the mountain valleys, and so you had a heterogeneous confederation of patrician class ruled city states, basic democratic mountain tribes, and more or less democratic city states as well. All was bound together by a mutual defense pact, called the Oath or "der Eid" in German, hence why they still call themselves Eidgenossenschaft.
Now the Swiss had some advantages, superior infantry an tactics, as well as the militia system, which allowed to raise large armies quickly and move them in record time over difficult territory.
On the other hand they had 8 guys quarrel all the time and closely guarding that their neighbors would not out power them, going so far that they could not agree on who gets to rule conquered lands and hence rather give them up. Also they could not support a large army for a long term campaign.
This led to the interesting combination that the Swiss managed to slaughter several European super powers that attacked them, but where pretty mediocre at taking turf or taking political advantages of the military might.

Lateron, the French took advantage of that and basically hired the entire country as their personal army, thus Switzerland entered an age of domestic peace and political insignificance. France basically made Switzerland a symbiotic country, they gave them money and culture and political protection, the Swiss gave them steady troops for the french wars.

If you like the subject, try "One million mercenaries: Swiss soldiers in the armies of the world" by John McCormack, the first chapters give a good introduction to history, military and society of old Switzerland.

Probably because someone manipulated statistics and played with numbers to reach such conclusion.

>>2781552
Because it's the McDonald's of the religions.

Because rational people find it harder and harder to justify believing in Jewish fairy tales. The only denominations that survive are those that don't aim at rational people.

no.....

if anything people should be worshiping us

we build the modern world

Only when you personally oppress black people.

It's kinda fucked up because if you say yes, you also open the door for white nationalism.

Yes they are currently doing so in North America and parts of Europe

>>2780819
Where in Europe? In the West they live segregated in ghettos never interacting with the native populations.

>>2780829
Everywhere they live in Europe there is peace between them and the Christians.

What's the story here?

>>2780710
It's cardinal richelieu, the de facto administrator of france, besieging the port of la rochelle, which was the bastion of french protestants aka huguenots. fall of la rochelle spelt the end of protestantism as a minority in france, discriminatory laws on the protestants were put in place that would last until the french revolution

To be clear I'm thinking of your average villagers like in the picture, not high-ranking officers.

because they think the past was only grey, neutral colored misery full of hardships.

they had guns and didn't need to worry about european wars

being Britain's dog has its advantages

>>2781559

The Brits didn't help on the Sea voyages.

King Manuel called for a joint Crusade and no one replied.

He sent it to the King of England, Pope and the King of France I think and got no reply.

>offers to withdraw and negotiate

When?

The UN is primarily a tool of the USA. Since the US is pro-Israel, so is the UN.
