do you think the is-ought problem is solvable?
Yes, the solution is to realize that there is no reason to value what is logical. This means that the logical gaps are not a problem.
>>3088673
you better be being stupid on purpose
>>3088728
I just told you the solution you should at least be grateful. I don't care whether or not you happen to fancy this solution but it is the only one that works.
How am I supposed to explain this to my kids?
What's to explain?
People in the past had a sense of humour.
Wow, that was difficult.

I really wish redditors would leave /his/ alone
>>3088616
>Nazis
>not the biggest destroyers of real culture
Only lowbrow crowd can praise these barbaric larpers.
>>3088622
This. It's kinda cute watching them get past their nihilist phase. I can't wait for the Christian revival.
>whenever someone gets sick with a non-life threatening but still painful/uncomfortable illness/condition, I think about how people in the classical and medieval ages dealt with that kind of stuff
>have a weird on-again/off-again relationship and interest in Roman conquests of Britain and life in Roman Britain
>constantly trying to imagine what the population density of a city would feel like at any certain point in history, i.e. I think about what it would be like to live in Ur when it was only a couple tens of thousands of people and that was the biggest city around at the time.
>have weird feelings of existential dread when I think about how the Israelites were originally polytheistic and only became monotheistic and truly Jewish after the Babylonian exile (I've remedied this somewhat by explaining away most of the early Old Testament as metaphor or some kind of archetypal meta narrative but it still hits me)
Anyone else have weird idiosyncrasies about /his/ related topics?
I remember sitting in class at school ten or so years ago and hearing one of my classmates say something like
>Bismarck was one of the greatest German military leaders
>mfw
I can't stand it when people say stupid shit like that
>>3088528
Yes I do but you've just listed them. Wish I could talk to you Brits on weekdays :(.

Is it true that the Romans viewed germans as uncivilized brutes?.
>>3088412
Romans looked down on everyone that wasn't Roman or Greek.
>>3088455
they liked the chinese
>>3088463
did they even have contact with the chinese ?
Why do many reveer the japanese?.
They literally copied everything from the west.
They invented nothing.

Why do people not hate Koreans? They are literally materialistic shits and their women whom all had plastic surgery at some point if they can afford it smuggle themselves into other countries to spread diseases through prostitution.
>>3088027
follow up question
why did shitler want to inject their semen into the germans?
>store's out of potato
>i guess we'll starve
Is it that much more tragic because it could've so easily been prevented?
victims of capitalism
they had plenty of available food, it was just exported under armed guard.
>>3087675
How? Explain your reasoning.
I'm getting pretty fucking tired of this "people starve under capitalism" meme
>But you who live now, what madness, what frenzy drives you to the pollution of shedding blood, you who have such a superfluity of necessities? Why slander the earth by implying that she cannot support you? Why impiously offend law-giving Demeter11 and bring shame upon Dionysus, lord of the cultivated vine,12 the gracious one, as if you did not receive enough from their hands? Are you not ashamed to mingle domestic crops with blood and gore? You call serpents and panthers and lions savage, but you yourselves, by your own foul slaughters, leave them no room to outdo you in cruelty; for their slaughter is their living, yours is a mere appetizer."13
Plutarch really makes you think
I cannot disagree with this
>It is certainly not lions and wolves that we eat out of self-defence; on the contrary, we ignore these and slaughter harmless, tame creatures without stings or teeth to harm us, creatures that, I swear, Nature appears to have produced for the sake of their beauty and grace

Was there ever a period in history where a slave owner went broke or was lost on an expedition and resorted to eating his slaves?
Was there ever a rich person who was demented who bought slaves simply to cook and eat, sort of like a racist Hannibal Lecter?
Sexy desu
>>3087542
There is a story of a Chinese lord (not sure that's the right term) lost in the wilderness with his servants/slaves (again, not sure that's the right term) and the servants felt so honor bound to the lord that they cut off parts of themselves to offer as food. As vague as that is, I'm guessing that's not helpful, but I heard that story a LONG time ago and don't remember the details
>>3087554
Jesus Christ chinese are fucking retarded.
OOOOHHHHH CHING CHONG BING BONG EAT MY YERROW CHINK ARM
What did the United Kingdom get up to during the Second World War?
Stage one: Getting their ass kicked
Stage two: Attempting to change the military balance of power, both in order to protect themselves, and prepare for an eventual counterattack.
Stage three: Counterattack, with the US doing a majority of (on your front, the Russians obviously doing the lion's share over all)
Stage four: Constantly remind everyone that you were in the war for the longest, ignore that you spent all of that extra time as a German punching bag
>>3087379
Well it obviously declared war on Germany after invasion of Poland and then participated in the western front. It successfully stopped operation sea lion but still suffered bombings and did have a few disasters like Dunkirk in Europe. In 1940 it was drawn into war with Italy and fought in North Africa and Mediterranean. Italy was beaten pretty badly by the UK but survived with German support. 1941 UK was at war with Japan who attacked its Asian colonies and the disastrous battle of Singapore happened as well as one biggest battles of the Asian theatre the battle of Imphal which was the Japanese attempted invasion of India.
It maintained an important role in the war throughout and its intelligence gathering was very important but the war ultimately doomed it to lose its empire and status as world power along with other nations.

UK tanked, US and USSR dps
Greetings, /his/. I've only just really gotten into history. I'd like to do some more research on some periods. Can anybody recommend me good sources on the following?
Napoleonic France
Byzantium under Justinian
Covert antics during the Cold War
Britain in WW2
Also, bonus question, where can I find really good, detailed maps? Things like transportation, military bases, rivers, and natural resources like coal or oil.
>>3087274
>Napoleonic France
>Byzantium under Justinian
>Covert antics during the Cold War
>Britain in WW2
literally the most tryhard topics
>>3087288
Literally doesn't mean anything.
>>3087299
they really do
people who pretend to be interested in byzantium 95% of the time are right wing nationalists
people who pretend to be interested in napoleonic france wanf to impress his since that's 'cool' here
It's not just a buzzword, real communism. (Marxism) has not been tried yet. If I'm wrong could someone please show me an example of a Marxist country. (Or one that aims to be Marxist)
>>3087237
Every single attempt so far. They've all been failures.
>>3087245
The only one that's been tried is Marxism-Leninism, which was screwed over so Stalin could justify his dictatorialness
>>3087253
And this one was used in other countries so the USSR would fund them.
How come pagan youtubers like styx, varg, thegoldenone and the like never explain why their brand of paganism is theologically, spiritually, and literary superior to religions like Christianity, Judaism, and Islam?
>>3087119
Because they're LARPers, not theologians. I don't think they'd be able to articulate it if you asked them.
>>3087119
Isn't Styx just a syncretist?
>Requesting an explanation to the answer he already knows, just to feel smug when he's affirmed by people answering his question.
Kill yourself, and also, because they're contrarian.
What is the consensus of /his/ when it comes to Charles II
A top lad, I think most agree
"We have a pretty witty king,
Whose word no man relies on;
He never said a foolish thing,
Nor ever did a wise one."
"This is very true: for my words are my own, and my actions are my ministers'...."
fucking rekt
>>3086964
He was pretty decent. Never acted like a vicious tyrant. Not the best king one could imagine, but certainly one to be happy with.
The hardest task you can ever attempt /his/. Rank in terms of aesthetics, Bicorns, Shako's and Bearskins.
>>3086759
Tricornes>Bicornes>>Bearskins>>>>>>Shakos
>>3086759
i rank Bicorns, Bearskins and Shakos in that order.
>>3086836
wtf tricorns are barbaric
