So you agree then it wasn't actually communism, but state capitalism?

I once heard a theory that OP isn't ALWAYS a faggot, but I've never personally seen any evidence for this.

Esoteric blood cults and inbreeding among all of the elites. Forbidden anthropology and physiognomy. Genetically stratified brave new world tier caste systems. Deep soy. Clones.

The transgender craze is crypto eugenics.

Have you been playing Bioshock Infinite lately, OP?

>>2720112
Played it a while back yeah. Still wondering if there's anything more to her.

1. Yes, she was named after Columbus (as is the country of Colombia)
2. No, there has never been a cult based around her except in vidya

Were there any primates there at any point after the current continents formed? Because the thought of hominids making it all the way over there seems preposterous

Probable the current scope of science being fucked.

I keep saying civillizations existed before the ice age, but people keep not believing me

How do you define "civilization"?

Read the books in brackets and move on from there:

Schopenhauer (The World As Will and Idea)
Camus (The Myth of Sisyphus)
Sartre (Being and Nothingness)
Stirner (The Ego and Its Own)
Nietzsche (Thus Spoke Zarathustra , The Will to Power)
Descartes (Meditations on First Philosophy)
Siddhārtha ( Buddhism)
The Bible ( Ecclesiastes)

there are no morals, you are a sapient being but there is no evidence this has any meaning, death is the absolute worst thing that can happen to you, if you had any sense you would utterly dedicate every waking moment to gaining power and achieving immortality at the expense of other sapient beings if necessary, but you won't as you are biologically programmed to do nothing but gain pleasure and avoid pain

>>2719702
Alright, thanks.

Religion is meant to keep peasants from discovering that they really just spend their ONLY lives farming.

That's why the concept of an afterlife is so common

>>2719565
Both ancient Mesopotamian and native Finnish religions have a pretty bleak afterlife no matter what you do.

Inuit have no heaven or hell, but there are spirits.

I think that people want there to be something more because it gives them hope for something better than bleakness.

we finished it.

America had been fighting in the Pacific for years by that point.

>>2719382
And in the Atlantic, North Africa, and Italy. Don't forget the strategic bombing campaign either. But we'll just ignore all of that.

>>2719088

Same reason most people don't care about math beyond algebra.

"When will I ever USE this?"

In their tiny minds they can't see beyond the immediate future or why some knowledge is valuable.

If I had to guess, I would assume he was trying to say that if God doesn't exist then there's no reason to believe that truth exists or that anything in the natural world is comprehensible. So without faith in God, it doesn't make sense to believe in any truth or science?

That's my guess. If that's what he means, I'm not sure if I agree with that.

It's shitty meme logic

He's saying you need an axiom, and an axiom requires """faith""", so you need to have faith to believe anything. He then conflates all faith with faith in God like a retard.

>>2718893
But faith is itself an axiom. To have faith is to act as if something is true, without knowing it to be true.
So to have an axiom you need an axiom? Seems very silly.

It'll be long and damaging to civilization to say the least, but the Mennonite State will prevail and rebuild under the leadership of this skilled tactician.

((((Turks)))) still blow them the fuck out

>>2718327
Maybe not. Maybe Rome would have reclaimed enough land from the Caliphate that the Turks would never have blown them the fuck out or get empowered by Caliphate.

>>2718367
No. They would have still been weak from plague
