Let's take the example of Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam. They can be sliced into three categories based on similarity of doctrinal "flavor," so to speak. I have called them Categories A, B, and C. (This designation has nothing to do with "superior"/"inferior" or historical period.)
So...
Category A: Theravada Buddhism, Protestant/Fundamentalist Christianity, Sunni Islam (minimalist, fundamentalist, embrace of iconoclastic "purity")
Category B: Mahayana Buddhism, Catholic Christianity, Shiite Islam (maximalist, tradition-oriented rather than fundamentalist, embrace of complexity)
Category C: Vajrayana Buddhism, Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Ismaili Islam (esoteric/mystical emphasis, ornate aesthetics, embrace of the arcane)

It's almost as if religions were created by humans and their various social personalities.

>>3381302
True, but not very interesting.
>>
>>3381286
Its almost like they're all related somehow
And chances are, they are influenced by one another.
Buddhism came first and had missionaries across Greek/Roman countries like Egypt/Syria/Iran/Iraq/etc.
Christianity came later and arose out of those area.
Islam arose in the same area.
WEW.

>J. G. Ballard always said that he only understood the reason behind the birth of the Badeer Meinhof gang when he came to northern Germany in the mid-80's, and he saw all these nice villages, all ordered and neat and incredibly clean, and he suddenly realized that if you were young and rebellious and born into such a society that was constructed around the concept of shielding you from anything bad or cruel or violent or remotely connected to terrorism... you HAD to become a terrorist. It may be an incredible over-simplification, but it's not far from the truth.

When are people going to stop taking the free market theory seriously, and treat it like the fairy tale it is? This mindset is damaging to society

That implies it has no value whatsoever.
You're one edgy fagit indeed if you don't advocate some form of social market economy.
Most intelligent people are not free-market ideologues but I reject any attempt to dichotomize private and public ownership of the means of production simply to smear a straw man of empty globalist international neoliberalism.

Laissez-faire free markets, individualism and limited government is what made America great in the first place.
Now we are drifting from those with collectivist socialist authoritarianism.

Have you considered that by accepting the anarcho capitalist definition you are actually not using the term in its original context?
that it never refereed to an absence of regulation but a general attitude towards regulation and trade?

How would history have been different if Ernst Röhm wasn't killed by Hitler, but on the contrary the SA absorbed the NSDAP, instead of vice versa and Hitler actually respected and listened to Röhm?
Would this make Nazi Germany more or less insane?

For me it's a tie between the BBC's Silk Road:
"The study of medicine, the ideas of Aristotle, or the fundamental principles of mathematics. These are just some of the things that we'll find that we owe entirely or in part to Samarkand and the Silk Road cities that lie beyond."
>Aristotle's writings reached Europe via the Silk Road.
"Without the ideas and inventions that arose along the Silk Road, well, we Westerners would still be counting on our fingers, writing on leather and thinking that the earth is flat."
>Ancient Europeans thought the Earth was flat
Especially unforgivable as the presenter is supposed to be an expert in maritime history, and ships going over the horizon is one well known ancient way to show that the Earth isn't flat.
And also Barbarians Rising from the History Channel.
The fact that they cast Hannibal as a black man was bad enough...I mean what can you expect these days, and from the History Channel...but hang on what the hell is he wearing on his head...?

I'm Italian and I don't know the English name of the program
It was in history channel I think, I saw it last time like a week ago
Anyway the show has just like 4 episodes, each like one hour long, it's called like the 4 ethnicities that created Europe
It's about the people who changed the world and contributed in creating Europe and Western civilization
The episodes are:
1)How the Greeks changed the world and created Europe
2)How the Romans changed the world and created Europe
3)How the Vikings changed the world and created Europe
4)How the Arabs changed the world and created Europe

Strangely enough, we still do. All new British laws and Queens speeches are recorded on parchment because it lasts for hundreds of years.

I am making a mod for Finland in Hearts of Iron 4 (Paradox game), and I want to program something to reclaim the glory of the Finnish Empire. So I need more documentation.

Anyone else feel legit sad that Japan's imperial ambitions were never fulfilled?
Pretty much everything Japan did (other than extreme cruelty) was strategically justified.
Not even a weeb.

They've been slow to learn the lesson, "never try to colonize your neighbors". Take that shit to another continent, if Japan had colonized some nigger republic like Spain instead of China, they would be remembered as bringers of civilization on a par with the French and British.

If the military hadn't of gone balls to the wall retarded, Japan would have been the good guys of WW2. Prove me wrong? Modern East Asia is entirely the way it is because of Japanese liberation.

As soon as Russia became a major power there was this omnipresent fear in Europe over "Russian Collosus" that will surely swallow up entire continent if left unchecked. It was this fear that lead Napoleon to Moscow and European coalition to Crimea. Bolshevik Revolution only furthered Europe's fear of Russia because it was now seen as ideological threat. Even today when Russia is free of communism there is animosity towards Russia from the Western world.
What would it take for Russia to finally establish friendly, fruitful relations with Europe and the West?

Balkanizing. Russia is just too damn big. Its very existence and geopolitical need to expand to secure its territory and economic interests will forever make it a threat or appear as a threat to its neighbors

>What would it take for Russia to finally establish friendly, fruitful relations with Europe and the West?
balkanization of the country into fiefdoms owned by international corporation with entire population sold as slaves to them

They're a geopolitical threat before they are an idealogical one.
