Why shot? Many of them were send to Siberia as well.

Few, I guess. The liberal intelligentsia were the first to run to the West when they realized what was happening. It was the reactionaries who stayed and fought and tried to save Russia who were shot.

"LIVING IN THE PRESENT" DOES NOT ENTAIL "LIVING LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW"; "TO LIVE IN THE PRESENT" DOES NOT MEAN TO LIVE FATALISTICALLY, OR HEDONISTICALLY, WITHOUT REMEMBRANCE OF THE PAST, AND WITHOUT VISION FOR THE FUTURE, BUT TO BE SELFAWARE AND SELFCONSCIOUS AT ALL MOMENTS —TO BE MINDFUL OF ONE'S BEINGNESS, AND BECOMINGNESS.

Just as many, if not more, have said that the path to goodness and happiness is that of the man who sacrifices short term pleasure for long term gain.

Living in the moment is more of a post-modern and eastern religious concept, though I suppose it's not unusual for past philosophers to advise being completely aware in the moment, in addition to aiming for higher goals.

Yes.

/his/ only replies to bait and naziposting

This is the most broadest question ever. Who has an answer?

The answer is "sometimes" OP

Hey all protestant denominations are independent. The Nazarenes are especially strong at missionarying it seems to me. I grew up with a lot of them. I respect, too, their strong organization - it beats the random, independent protestant churches I grew up with (mostly variants of Baptist). It's nice to be part of something bigger. I hope the church is still doing well.

Dinosaurs! Oh wait that just make it the same with other American protestant churches.

If you want to leave Protestanism but not Christianity as a whole I would suggest going Catholic, Orthodox, or Anglican.

It was clearly a succession of state.

Similar to how the Sea Kurds of Atlantistan caused the Bronze Age collapse against their fellow land Kurds.

Oh for fuck's sake, Kurdposter. No-one will ever believe the bullshit you spout? Why do you keep wasting your time?

Only marginally better than Stirling who is the real awful one. Alt-his as a genre completely sucks dick.

>>2432567
Conceptually, or just because of the quality of the writers involved?

>>2432599
Probably the latter. I mean I guess a seriously devoted autistic academic probably COULD write decent alt-his, but nobody would read it. The established alt-his authors want their books to sell, so they have to cram them with aliens, tits, steampunk trash and outrageous anime-tier pulp bullshit so people would buy it.

I mean consider Stirling who wrote the Peshawar Lancers. It's supposed to portray a world where the northern hemisphere got shelled by meteors in the late 1800s, the British empire had to evacuate to the Raj and the world got stuck with Victorian level technology for 200 years. I mean, okay. But then the author introduces cannibal psychic Russians living in Samarkand who worship Chernobog, a Slavic pagan god, for absolutely no reason other than the author thinking it sounds cool.

Not to mention a ton of lazy writing and just outright refusal to butterfly effect the events thoroughly.

I buy communist party member booklets of various eastern block countries from time to time on eBay. I'm not even a communist. I just like it. Feels taboo.

I also wanted to buy Iraqi dinars on eBay right before Saddam got shock and awed in 2003 but my mother wouldn't let me use her credit card. Lol

Holy shit I actually have a couple of those with Saddam on them

Degenerate western Buddhists who co-opt the religion to make themselves seem cultured to others

Atheism could theoretically mean–and I think it use to mean this but I could wrong–the refusal to worship or acknowledge God. Not the denial of God and spirits per say. Now most atheist from the 1800s to the present have been philosophical materialist to the point where the two have become ubiquitous with one another. This being said, if you subscribe that atheism is the mere refusal to worship God than the fact that Buddhist don't try to teach god but nirvana means it might be compatible. I know little of Buddhism though.

>>2432245
Agreed, its a virtue signal fest for the sake of selling boutique tranquility and quirky Buddhist paraphernalia

Partially yeah

It's not like the Elamites all just dropped dead without having children

Elamites were pre-Iranian inhabtants- meaning that Persians, medians, and the ancestors of Kurds came later.

They were probably Semites like the Mesopotamians they neighbored

For how late they got into the game, that's a shockingly comfy colonial empire.

One of my biggest regrets, alongside telling her I wasn't ready to commit that way and preordering Duke Nukem Forever: Collectors Edition.
