>The present condition of my country, and my powerlessness to change it, are additional reasons for me to leave a land where I am obliged by duty to praise men whom I ought by virtue to hate. When I arrive in my country how am I to act, and what am I to do? When the mother country has ceased to exist a good citizen should die. If I had to destroy but one man in order to deliver my fellow-countrymen I would start at once. I would plunge the avenging dagger up to the hilt in the breast of the tyrant. My life is a burden, because I taste no pleasure, and because, for me, everything is wearisome. My life is a burden, because I live, and must probably always live, with men whose thoughts and manners are as different from mine as the silver moonlight is different from the light of the sun. I cannot, then, follow the only manner of living that could make life bearable for me, whence it follows that I feel aversion for everything.

>How was Catholic Church as we know it today established In Rome, the city that crucified Jesus?
It was a miracle, and the fact that the Church grew on the ground of the empire that killed Christ is evidence that Gods hand was working behind the scenes.

>If the Cross was the tool that killed Jesus then why was it taken as the symbol of Christianity?
As a constant reminder of his sacrifice and the message he preached.

>How was the New Testament made in the first place if Jesus himself never wrote or recorded anything?
The apostles dictated some writings about their experience with Jesus, those became the Gospels. Paul had special divine revelation which allowed him to effectively spread the word.

>If the Jewish Bible is part of Christianity, then why do Christians hate Jews?
Because Jews are people who don't recognize the fact Christ is the messiah. If they did they'd be Christian. That said American Protestants fucking love Jews and Israel. Jews hate Christianity with a passion though.

>If Jews plotted and influenced Pontius Pilatus into killing Jesus then why is the Jewish Bible part of Christianity?
Because it contains the prophecies and teachings which show Jesus was the legitimate son of God and messiah.

>If the Cross was the tool that killed Jesus then why was it taken as the symbol of Christianity? It's like using an NSFW car crash WebM to show admiration for Princess Diana.
It's a reminder of his blood sacrifice for humanity
>Why in the fuck is the Jewish Bible (Old Testament) part of Christianity?
To tell the story of the ancient Israelites, how they lived and they should expect from a messiah (Jesus fulfills all requirements)
>How was the New Testament made in the first place if Jesus himself never wrote or recorded anything?
He had apostles that possessed the Holy Spirit
>If the Jewish Bible is part of Christianity, then why do Christians hate Jews?
You're not supposed to hate them. They're religion is wrong though (alongside all others that don't profess that Christ is lord in Trinity)
>If Jews plotted and influenced Pontius Pilatus into killing Jesus then why is the Jewish Bible part of Christianity?
To show that Jesus fulfilled the messianic role.

First of all, Catholics aren't Christian.

Second, we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles. 1 Corinthians 1:23

Marc Anthony beget three children by her, so I guess he wanted sum fug.

Supposedly she was a butterface. Great body, lots of charisma but a meh face

>>2456034
She was probably relatively good looking, but ancient writers repeatedly say it was never her personal appearance that attracted men, it was her education and speaking. She was a very powerful and learned woman from probably the most pedigree line of her day, it would have been very attractive to a Roman general to be subjected to her wily Greco-Macedonian ways.

>Won't the immigrant be subjected to the high living costs in the US, and thus will demand a higher wage?

But they're used to lower absolute standards of living.

They'll sleep ten to an apartment and live off of rice and beans and still not bitch.

Dont know about japanase, but labor in the US has become cheaper than Chinese by rougly 4 %.
Fuyao glass is an example.

Imported workers are mostly from a less richer country so they are use to living poor so even a reduced wage is still a lot to the imported workers.

Globalism is pretty profitable to the elites which is why they always shill for it.

Watch them if you are six and interested in history. Any older buy a book.

Fun, but liberal.
I haven't watched any since this past US election became a thing, because I know the virtue signaling and outrage will reach unprecedented levels.

I loved lit, and history. Hank Green is my least faovurite guy.

Basically, watch pre 2016 episodes.

Also, I feel like Dan Carlin would beat John Green in a fight, despite being like twice as old.

'no'

No one knows what it means, but it's provocative.

I don't think the dust has settled at all and no it isn't

Jumping directly from xenophobic feudal shithole to a modern nation state tends to leave a country's culture still carrying certain primitive traits that will manifest if given an opportunity to do so.

>>2455791
What do you expect if you give a feudal culture the ability to do modern imperialism.

Imagine 12th century Europe with breach loading rifles.

1940 rural Japan was a smallpox infested police-state shithole
