And why are there brown Greeks and Albanians and white Greeks and Albanians ?

Albania has such a cool flag

Basically, this. >>3308723

The US was only a success because it was paid to rebuild Europe.

Someone has to fuck up Europe, is what you're trying to say?

I know a few Anglican and one United (Canadian Methodists/Presbyterian) Minister who are Atheists.

It's fucking weird.

>>3308667
He means people that call themselves protestants but are really agnostic. This is common in the US.

Can you really blame them? Christianity's been btfo so hard in the past few centuries you should be glad there are people still calling themselves Christians at all.

It's where Muhammed had a wacky adventure.
The angel gayboy took him to Jerusalem then chucked him at heaven to meet all the previous prophets and to learn the signs of god or something.

Mainly because if you are going to make up a nice fairytale called religion, you might want to incorporate already existing religious symbols to give your fairytale more legitimacy, so since Jerusalem was the holy city of Jews, Christians and muslims also wanted to incorporate the city somehow to make their religions look more legit.

Note that christianity during its beginning mainly tried to convert the 8 million jews living in the roman empire, opening up christianity to anyone came only later. So if you want to convert jews you need something that they like.

Muslims wanted to convert both Jews and Christians so they also needed a symbol that Jews and Christians knew and liked.

Etc. pp.

>one guy who had to self publish his book

>>3308455
That book was merely pragmatic and the world would be a better place if it had been turned into policy. I challenge you to argue otherwise.

>>3308455
These things were written after German attacks on Jews had already become public knowledge. It's more likely that a couple of Jews just got angry enough to come up with such theories than that there was some sort of conspiracy.

I can easily smell /pol/ from you

stop making threads about people you did not read

To be fair, the people who HAVE read Foucault lack the intelligence or the opposable thumbs needed to make a thread.

>>3308405
No that's fair. I can only post from my phone atm so I didn't want to type too much but you're right, it's obnoxious to start threads like this without any participation in the OP.

I am actually a fan of Foucault. I really enjoy his breakdown of the many systems around us that help constitute who we are whether we're aware of it or not. Even if I don't agree with all he says I think he spurs further independent thought into analyzing the world around you. Personally he has really helped me work on introspection and figuring out the kind of person I want to be and the world I'd like to live in.

That being said, I think one of my biggest problems isn't with him persay but the way he is interpreted by far left groups. Yes I know Foucault was an anarcho-communist but I feel what he wrote, at least later in life was much more moderate.

I feel like people read and understand his critique on the different forms of power around us but use that as an excuse to attack any social construction just because it isn't "real". I don't think this is fair and I feel much more like he advocates something closer to a social democracy where the policies of government act for the good of the people and are scrutinized to remove abuses that may result intentionally or otherwise to marginalized groups or the population as a whole. I think he strongly urged self-control and responsibility on the individual level but that is often used as an excuse to find anything with any semblance of power over you and discredit it by people who only read History of Sexuality and Discipline and Punish and then stop.

>I'd love to argue that morals are based on our human insticts and act as axioms and therefore can not be concluded from itself or anything else.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but are you stating that human morals generally stem from the idea that they believe if it will be self-beneficial to them or not?

the absolute state of this board...
& Humanities is to blame.

Pic related was the only good example of what Lebenstraum could've looked like but no idea what the other shit is, the artist might just be an alternate history larp

They wanted to genocide most of the local populations in Eastern Europe and then import regular Germans to live there

>>3308316
look to poland:, kicked out many poles from their homes, eliminate educated class, bring in ethnic german immigrants

Besides water and tea beer is the most popular drink in the world

>>3308288
Probably has something to do with it being expensive or hard to make for other cultures. I'm just guessing, but in China and Japan I'm assuming only nobles and rich people ever really drank much.

>>3308288

Cause you got your info from shitty sources.

It's not really this easy... It would take a fucking while to explain because it would mean that i'd have to go back to fucking Charlemagne. The making of the holy roman empire is a long and complex thing. I will be short but then i might be inacurrate.

Charlemagne dies in 814 and his empire has been, after a war between his children and the treaty of Verdun (understand why the germans wanted to take Verdun in 1916? Verdun was a strategic but also symbolic place), divided between three of his children. Lotharingia (whose ruler Lothar hold the symbolic title of emperor) and eastern francia ended up tied together through sucessions, while the western francia became the kingdom of France.

Then, let's just say that, in theory (even if 90% of the time it was just a formality) frankish rulers were elected by the plaid (the assembly of the greats). the electing system of the holy roman empire is a reminiscence of this system : the emperor is elected among the great of the empire. He's just the feudal ruler of a bunch of semi independant lands, held by kings, counts, bishops... With the end of the middle ages, while other kingdoms began to be centralized (France under Charles VII, England after the war of the roses), the empire was still, because of his electing system and other things :the emperor is powerful, of course, but he's just a powerful lord among a lot of other lords. Another explaination might be the religious differences, the Brandeburg duke / king in prussia being a protestant. There was also the ottoman threat to the east.

One man almost managed to rule for real over the empire : Charles V Von Habsburg aka Charles V Of Spain. At the time, to become emperor, you litteraly had to bribe the electors of the empire, being the biggest princes. Charles was already a pretender, being the grandson of the emperor Maximilian, but with the spanish riches he managed to make himself king. Imagine : Ruling over spain + the spanish colonies, austria, the netherlands, lots of italian lands and being the emperor! But with the kebab menace + the rivalry against the french, Charles V never managed to create an empire that would rule over all of the christians.

I hope i answered to your question.

not OP, but nice reply, appreciated.

honestly any nonfiction books, just pick one read a little every day and when you finish pick up another. in a few years of reading a couple non-fiction books a month the world will look different

>>3308206
Yep, that's already been happening. I just finished with Nietzsche. My plan next is to read Foccault and study the financial system.

But I'm looking more for culture - references, values, speech patterns, etc.

>>3308259
Foccalt? Nah m8, if you want to get into post modern where you can signal to you're borgie friends you need to read Sartre

>>3308154
He left local tribe leaders. He took members of their family as hostage in case they betray him which they did a lot. Also left some legions in winter.

This, though these parts technically weren't part of Rome yet, those Caesar was actively working to annex the region. Transalpine Gaul and Cisalpin Gaul were part of Roman provinces and had a typical provincial administration with appointed governors. After the whole region was reorganized into several provinces and the typical roman adminstration was enforced. Gaul during this period up until the fall of the empire always retained quirks of its past though, fashion and language became romanized but retained Gallic traits and the region did not change much ethnically.

>>3308234
so the "Caesar killed one hundred trillion gauls" is a meme?
