Stop playing dumb.

More like they want to feel that they have a shepherd looking out for them, helping them live quietly and relatively safe from predators.

The herd promises safety to people who feel alone and vulnerable.

I went to a church a couple of times and it didn't feel like that to me.

Nietzsche, whom only Omnipotence could restrain from interrupting, bursts out when his turn comes: "Good heavens, man, you must learn to be of tougher fibre. Why go about snivelling because trivial people suffer? Or, for that matter, because great men suffer? Trivial peopple suffer trivially, great men suffer greatly, and great sufferings are not to be regretted, because they are noble. Your ideal is a purely negative one, absence of suffering, which can be completely secured by non-existence. I, on the other hand, have positive ideals: I admire Alcibiades and the Emperor Frederick II, and Napoleon. For the sake of such men, any misery is worth while. I appeal to You, Lord, as the greatest of creative artists, do not let Your artistic impulses be curbed by the degenerate fear-ridden maundering of this wretched psychopath."

Buddha,who in the court of Heavens has learnt all history since his death, and has mastered science with delight inthe knowledge and sorrow at the use to which men have put it, replies with calm urbanity:"You are mistaken Professor Nietzsche, in thinking my ideal a purely negative one. True it includes a negative element, the absence of suffering; but it has in addition quite as much that is positive as to be found in your doctorine. Through I have no special admiration for Alcibiades and Napoleon, I, too, have my heroes: my successor Jesus, because he told men to love their enemies; the men who discovered how to master the forces of nature and secure food with less labour; the medical men who have shown how to diminish disease; the poets and artists and musicians who have caught glimpses of the Divine beatitude. Love and knowledge and delight in beauty are not negations, they are enough to fill the loves of the greatest men who have ever lived"

"All the same," Nietzsche replies, "your world would be insipid. You should study Heraclitus, whose works survive complete in the celestial library. Your love is compassion,which is elicited by pain; your truth if you are honest, is unpleasant,and only to be known through suffering; and as to beauty, what is more beautiful than the tiger, who owes his splendour to his fierceness? No, if the Lord should decide for your world, I fear we should all die of boredom."

Nero was worse. At least Commodus threw crazy games

>>2687125
Commodus doesn't come close to the worst.

>>2687135
Commodus killed way more than Nero, Commodus also surrendered everything his father fought for. Don't think crazy games justify starting the decline of the Roman empire.

Pirates were very commonly merchants as well. Think of it this way, once you stole the goods you had to sell them. They Didn't really have a good reputation until we mostly got rid of them.

It wasn't even single-party. It wasn't supposed to have parties at all, and to bring all political discourse inside the State structure

Italian fascism was anything but democratic, considering that they made a point of beating and murdering political rivals. It did initially have aspects of socialism, but those fell by the wayside in favour of closer cooperation with the church and capitalist interests.

Aristocracy are the results of hundreds of generations of high breeding dating back to the time of protocivilizations.

Rich capitalists are often low born low brow scum who have more dollars than sense.

It's all in the face of a person. You can tell right away.

but does breeding really create better people in the long run, what about all the insane and deformed monarchs? doesn't the idea of an aristocracy create inbreeding

i don't really mind if inbreeding creates some bad examples though, just if the aristocracy really had ascended people

There are some critiques of class analysis in the french revoloution that say the french aristocrats were even keeping up with the capitalists in economic innovation

Also, does art created for the masses, is it inferior to art that was produced for aristocrats?

They wanted to turn Eastern Europe into vassal states and grab the Benelux. They also wanted to permanently cripple France via war reparations (how ironic) and grabbing some industrial areas.

Just putting it out there: learning Russia's Oblasts "and friends" is a challenging project which may be rewarding to /his/-geography autists.

And this is THE quiz to use.

This pushes the discussion all the way back to 1922 (when the Washington Naval Conference ended) so it's kinda hard to speculate what would have happened in 1939.

What one did by sea, the other did by land. I think that's about it. Even the numbers kinda mirror each other.

>>2686224
In what regard? Numbers? There were more slaves circulated in the Muslim slave trade than the Atlantic. The treatment of slaves was a lot worse in the Atlantic slave trade though.
