How do you feel about the fact that if Axis won WWII:
>world would be a totalitarian shithole with no freedom of speech
>every person would be a total slave working for the Axis powers
>internet wouldn't be available to the masses
>anime wouldn't exist, so you couldn't jerk off your tiny dicks to 2d pictures and animations
>porn would be hard to come by, so you would be left alone to jerk off to your own imagination
>no one would allow you to be a NEET
>any sign of terminal illness and inability to work would result in your death
>how do you feel about the world where everyone speaks either german or japanese?
Does that sound like a fucking utopia to you? You absolute fucking cretins?

>Bronson was born Charles Dennis Buchinsky, the 11th of 15 children, in a Roman Catholic family of Lithuanian descent in Ehrenfeld, Pennsylvania in the coal region of the Allegheny Mountains north of Johnstown, Pennsylvania.[3][4] His father was a Lithuanian immigrant and his mother was an American of Lithuanian descent.[5][6][7][8] They were of Lipka Tatar roots, which explains the "exotic" features of the actor, "as his cheekbones and eyes were often mistaken for Mexican or Native American but were in fact Lipka Tatar from Lithuania."[9]

>His father, Valteris P. Bučinskis (who later adjusted his name to Walter Buchinsky to sound more "American"),[3] [10] [11] hailed from the town of Druskininkai in southern Lithuania. Bronson's mother, Mary Valinsky, whose parents were from Lithuania, was born in the coal mining town of Tamaqua, Pennsylvania. He learned to speak English when he was a teenager; before that, he spoke Lithuanian and Russian.[12]

>Bronson was the first member of his family to graduate from high school. When Bronson was 10 years old, his father died and he went to work in the coal mines, first in the mining office and then in the mine.[3] He later said he earned one dollar for each ton of coal that he mined.[12] He worked in the mine until he entered military service during World War II.[3] His family was so poor that, at one time, he had to wear his sister's dress to school for lack of clothing.[13][14]

Is this the biggest friendship in /his/?

>Thus it is possible to imagine Alexander and Hephaestion hoping that their respective offspring might unite their lines and that, ultimately, the crown of Macedon and Persia might be worn by one who was a descendant of them both.
>when you have a link so strong with someone you want to keep it that way even after you die

Please explain how magic has traditionally been viewed throughout history to me, /his/

The impression I get from speaking to self proclaimed occultists is that they view magic as a way of rewiring their brains rather than literally changing the nature of reality externally.
Like this:
>some homo does a magic ritual to get wealth
>the process of acting out the ritual has an effect on his mindset
>he is now more willing to undertake any opportunities that might make him money

Is this an accurate view of how magic has been practised in the past, or were most people actually literalists?
Is this similar to prayer?

Looking for material on the history and cultural influence of christianity. Special interest in eastern europe (orthodox church, eastern catholics, implementation of slavic paganism) as well as the steps in which it blended with other pre-christian thoughts in the med region. Further interest would be in christian personalities which had an big inpact on europe like Aquinas and St Augustine to be able and place them and their ideas in a historical timeline. Books like LC Lewis "Chritianity and Culture" or Hannams "God's Philosophers" made for a nice read. Please post further recommendations (ib4 >>>/lit/, already asked, also considering the historical points, /his/ sounds like a more likely fountain of knowledge).
