What did he think of the United States?
>>3248258
You know, you could've Googled this.
He cheered for the USA against Mexico
He thought about moving to Texas at one point before the Civil War.
Was it malice or incompetence?
Sort of and sort of not
No one wanted to deliver Mao bad news so they didn't, they fudged every number and made him tour potemkin villages,so he figured it was all well and fine.
He really did this to himself though, those who str8 up said that his policies were bad got the wrong end of the cultural revolution.
It was autism.

Today Catholics and Orthodox celebrate the assumption/dormition of the virgin Mary. What are Protestants doing? Being cucked still?
>this different religion doesn't do our specific rituals
lol /x/tians
>tfw nearest parish is two hours away from you, and you only are able to go when in that town for uni
Being American and Orthodox can be pretty challening at times.

Do Freemasons have an end game or are they just a club of older dudes who do community service? Why were they so involved with the founding of the United States?
>they just a club of older dudes who do community service

Masons are members of secrete organizations which really ruling EVERY state. Every monarch is head of masonry of his country. Most of presidents and top politicans are masons too.
Some masons are known, some masonic events are known, but general idea to rule in shadow.
There is no mystery, but some rhituals or clothes can look really stupid. Traditions.
So basically this faggot cry-baby little loser indian ascetic was too intellectually weak to doubt the prevailing samsaric doxa of the vedic tradition, and so prevented the little depressed cunt from simply killing himself and achieving moksha and the cessation of dukkha, permanently.
waa waa life sucks so I'll spend it using weaponized mind autism to prevent myself ever having to face this world ever again!
Pathetic.. He was nothing but a depressed loser. If he was alive today, not subject to the prevailing religious notion of samsara, he would have either simply killed himself (pathetic loser probaby wouldn't have had the balls), or he would be on r9k whining about how it all sucks and he has no gf and blames his parents for his shitty situation, or he'd be preachig about antinatalism on reddit. Waa waa life sucks lets all permanently cuck ourselves into nonexistence.
Why do people take this seriously? What an absolute joke. If you hate life so much just fucking kill yourself then, samsara is just religious nonsense. How can anyone follow this cuckigion in this day and age?
>>3247812
If I'm not mistaken, he did doubt and question rebirth initially, before he reached enlightenment and saw his past lives. Its also not known whether reincarnation was the prevailing doxa of the vedic tradition at the time, or whether that actually became the case because of the influence of buddhism.
Buddha rejected the view that looked forward to extinction after death (as well as extinction after death altogether), as well as the view that nirvana was extinction/annihilation.
Samsara is also within one lifetime, its not just the round of rebirths. Buddha also wasn't depressed, or interested in having a girlfriend. He already had a wife, and we walked away from that life.
>>3248141
>and we walked away from that life.
*he walked away from that life

What a retard you are, he wouldn't complain about no gf because no one who understands the ego illusion can possible strive for such a thing.

>not just a matter of hostility to the arts, but indifference to them. Although some Muslim immigrants to Europe will acquire a taste for Chopin and Renoir, most will ignore the symphony halls and the art museums altogether. As the population continues to shift in the favor of Islam, those museums that manage to stay open will have to emphasize non-representational Islamic art and put the Renoirs in cold storage. As for the concert halls, many will die a slow death.
Islam is the inevitable chalice traditionalists must all drink from.

So trads are philistines?
The two biggest economic miracles in history:
>Nazi Germany
From 1938 to 1945, Germany went from the most oppressed, collapsed nation in the world where people burned barrels of German currency just to stay warm, to economic super power over night in the biggest economic miracle in world history.
>China
From the 1990s to the 2010s, China went from overpopulated third world communist hell hole to the biggest economic super power in the world.
>How did they do it?
The unleashed the power of the marketplace but they maintained a tight grip on social order and put their nation and people first, to the chagrin of outsiders.
>What about America?
A great economic story that lead the world for decades, however failure to maintain social order and disloyalty towards its people and nation has caused it to collapse. The mental illness of white guilt has made this and Europe a place ripe for pillaging by external influence and groups.
Agree? Disagree? Explain your view.

This is got to be the most sneaky and annoying neonazi myth. War economy, huge debt, near colapse and of course starting a war aren't signs of economic miracle even if it coincides with natural signs of post-depression recovery.

We have this thread daily.
If the Spanish empire had tried to help the Japanese Christians during Sengoku jidai, and used all its ressources to invade Japan, what would have happened? How good were the Japanese armies compared to the European ones? Were the Japanese castles strong enough to resist against the European artillery?
>>3247269
I don't think that the Europeans could have transported sufficient numbers of soldiers to threaten the Japanese seriously.
They could have undertaken coastal raids with near impunity, but nothing lasting.
The Spanish would have no chance on land and would just meme around the coasts a bit until the Japanese develop a closer relationship with their rivals.
>>3247269
Japan hadnt expensive resources, native population was wild and little, it was far. So it wasnt so attractive for state colonisation.
But many private Spanish and Portugese colonists became local noblemen. They had shitty meat mass to fight against modern European states, but they were smart enough to survive till rise of USA, which closed opportunity of absorbation by European empires.

So is this true communism?
>"neutral"
How did they get away with it?
>>3247069
They survived the war without having to fight because
a) Sweden was not listed as a SoI nation in Molotov-Ribbentrop
b)They got lucky when Finland didn't succumb to Soviets completely
c)They negotiated iron ore trade to Germany which removed Nazis' only reason to attack them. Norway was occupied because it was seen as a preferable staging ground for British forces.
Basically they're complete faggots who refused to aid their neighbours.
Atleast their flag is something unique in Scandi....

>living in a society where representations of a long lost reality is the only commodity
>perverse perceptions of reality have become reality
>people wonder why there is mental illness
>these memes are killing me
>i hate postmodernism
The more I read about the postmodernist movement the more I learn that it is responsible for most of the dreadful things in my life. Lack of values, moral relativism, etc. These constructed hyperreal concepts were constructed in the first place to lead happy lives as human beings. Now its just being eroded and people just openly drink, have sex, nihilism is at an all time high.
Never thought I'd say this but I'm joining a church for the wisdom in the bible teachings on suffering and values. Not being intellectually dishonest because its for pure utility.
who else hates postmodernism, if not why not
it fucking blows imo but maybe I'm just neurotic and depressed as fuck idk
>people just openly drink, have sex
sounds like most of history dunnit
>living in a society where representations of a long lost reality is the only commodity
What the fuck is this bullshit? There are a trillion commodities out there, you're probably just a deeply escapist person.
Nostalgia isn't a "long lost reality", it's yearning for a time you never lived in that you don't see the flaws of.
>people wonder why there is mental illness
Because of a complex interplay between genetics, the environment and social definitions of what constitutes dysfunction? Thank god you're smarter than all those neuroscientists out there and answered this mystery.
>these memes are killing me'
You're so mature.
>The more I read about the postmodernist movement the more I learn that it is responsible for most of the dreadful things in my life
Oh no! Everything you hate is caused by one thing that's bad.
>Lack of values, moral relativism, etc.
Ancient people had very casual attitudes towards cruelty. Marrying children was legal. Guilds were basically cartels. Slavery was widespread. Due process and rule of law were nowhere near as upheld. Today you're expected to tolerate less than 1% of the population being trannies, oh wow, how are you supposed to cope?
>Now its just being eroded and people just openly drink, have sex
Like they always did? There was plenty of promiscuity in the past, m8. Humans don't really change that much.
>nihilism is at an all time high
The vast majority of people today are moral realists, even most academic philosophers. You seriously think people in the past didn't have existential crises?
>Never thought I'd say this but I'm joining a church for the wisdom in the bible teachings on suffering and values. Not being intellectually dishonest because its for pure utility.
At first, you bemoan the lack of objective truth and morality, but now you're going to church to try to LARP yourself for "utility"?
>it fucking blows imo but maybe I'm just neurotic and depressed as fuck idk
Maybe, just maybe.
>The more I read about the postmodernist movement the more I learn that it is responsible for most of the dreadful things in my life.
The movement is a response to these conditions, not responsible for them. Also difficult to say 'lack of values' when the alt-right is being attacked as much as it is.
