So I was thinking about the possibility of a God or God(s) existences and came to the conclusion greentexted below. If say, some known 17th century philosopher or what have you already came to this (imho solid conclusion) just know I was not aware. Here it is.
>1. It is possible that a maximally great being exists.
>2. If it is possible that a maximally great being exists, then a maximally great being exists in some possible world.
>3. If a maximally great being exists in some possible world, then it exists in every possible world.
>4. If a maximally great being exists in every possible world, then it exists in the actual world.
>5. If a maximally great being exists in the actual world, then a maximally great being exists.
>6. Therefore, a maximally great being exists.
Lol go home Aquinas

Why did Hitler (and the NSDAP) hate unions so much?
/picunrelated
>>2549662
UNIONS ARE A FORM OF TRIBALISM, AND AND AS SUCH, ARE CONDUCIVE TO DISINTEGRATION.
>>2549745
Then why did Stalin?
>>2549662
Because at the end of the day, Hitlers main goal was power for himself, and in order to secure that power, he need capital, and in order to get capital, he had to cuck himself to the junker class who saw him as a much better alternative for themselves than the communist revolutionaries, so Hitler did their bidding by fucking up unions.
Is there a army today that the ancient Romans could beat?
italy
will if battle is taking place today the Romans could pick up some guns
They could beat the Swiss Guards.
no, i'm not a commie
it's merely an expression of the natural choices all life makes in the pursuit of the most return at least energy expended as it grows and propagates
you have to kill life to kill "capitalism"
>>2549599
That isn't a true statement about life.
>you have to kill life to kill "capitalism"
They make a capitalism.
Now I'm not going to call it capitalism, free markets set to utilitarian values is an socioeconomic-ecological mismatch. You buy food at the store and your groceries come from 296 places all of which are being degraded of complex life, and you think it's fine because you live in the matrix
>>2549613
you make a purchase, you're weighing how it's impacting your own value level, you're getting a benefit at some cost,
a cheetah determines if the gazelle is worth the cost to its reserves of energy, a deformed cub must be abandoned as it is a net loss, etc.
you combine your capital with a partner to achieve a greater result, maybe buying a store, a firm, or renting someplace to incur profits for you both at a much higher rate than either of you achieve alone
a wolf forms itself into a pack with other wolves, together they bring down large dangerous game that individually they could not, they are able to get much larger amounts of calories with even less effort, as the energy costs are spread among the pack
What would have happened if the US never attacked the Confederacy and instead let them secede in peace?
They would probably conquer mexico and south America, but the north would still be economically more stable. The south would ossify into slavery and decay.
>>2549483
The Confederacy was the one who attacked
>>2549483
Eventual southern oligarchy where only the top 1% prosper.
How often were these used on the actual battlefield? If you look at paintings of Japanese battles you see guns, bows, spears, but very few swords.
its the same everywhere, spears are using dominantly. Samurai usually carried them with them to use as side arms or main arms in battle.
not all battles were fought by samurai
>>2549382
They were used as secondary weapons during battles and for duels. Spear and pike bearing ashigaru did most of the fighting.
Principally it was a side arm, worn by people for personal defense on or off the battlefield. In pitched battle bows or spears are generally more useful, but in some cases, like a close melee, you draw swords. So anyone who could lay hands on a sword would carry one, not just samurai. You didn't want to be caught in a bloody melee and not have a sword.
What was the greatest time in European history?
Most people tell me between the Frano-Prussian war and WWI
>>2549346
Don't kid yourself, WW1 was the best time to be alive. The last great clash of empires and kings...
>>2549346
1600s
>>2549349
why the fuck would you want to live during ww1
chances are your neet ass is going to get conscripted and youre going to fucking die
In particular, I'm interested in hearing about how people perceived the war back then. How people in the west, in Russia, and in Japan thought how the war was going to go, and the reactions to how the war turned out.

hey /his/, what are some unique features of languages? (e.g. languages that use cardinal directions instead of relative directions).
pic unrelated.
Mixtec appears to be the only language that does not differentiate between declaratives and interrogatives.

>>2549430
Why isn't do-support considered an interrogative particle?
Moonrunes appears to be the only language used in all animes.
Adolf Hitler saved the West from Communism. If it wasn't for Hitler assuming power in Germany, the country, and all that Hitler conquered, would've eventually been absorbed by the Soviet Union. Adding the interests that certain (((people))) had in the USSR, there wouldn't have been a World War 2. Or a Cold War.
>>2549096
hmm, realy makes u think
>>2549096
and Stalin saved us from Hitler. What's your point? Glad we got both and not just one?
>>2549096
Or, Hitler might have helped prolong Communism by 50 years. No need for Soviets to go to war = no opportunity for them to expand their sphere of influence. No aid sent to the Japanese = less likely for Mao to gain a decent foothold in mainland China (let alone being given all of Manchuria).

How does it feel /his/?

You will, however, actively contribute to the further decline of the history board of 4chan, so congrats I guess.
Go on, Anon.
You know you want to.
Even if I have no wife or children, my name will at least be remembered by my friends. If even my internet """friends""" by my username, then that's enough for me, because that's all that truly matters.

Are there any notable instances of racial integration (black/white) in the U.S. prior to World War II?
AS LONG AS THE SPURIOUS SOCIOETHNIC CLASSIFICATIONS OF "BLACK", "WHITE", "YELLOW", "RED", "BROWN", CONTINUE TO BE PERPETUATED, THERE WILL BE NO RACIAL INTEGRATION, BECAUSE THOSE SPURIOUS NOTIONS INEVITABLY LEAD TO DISINTEGRATION, THEREFORE, ANY ACTIVIST ORGANIZATION THAT CLAIMS TO BE IN PRO OF RACIAL INTEGRATION, BUT USES THOSE SPURIOUS CLASSIFICATIONS TO CLASSIFY PEOPLE, IS EITHER UNWITTINGLY DESTINED TO FAILURE, OR A FALSE ORGANIZATION THE PURPOSE OF WHICH IS TO DECEIVE, AND FURTHER DISINTEGRATE, PEOPLE.

In Chicago's red light district known as The Levee Black and White people lived together in close proximity, albeit in extreme poverty. The Levee was a staple of Black Chicago until about the start of World War 1 when red light districts around the nation were shut down and broken up.
