People still believe it today. These days they like to hide their racism behind progressiveness and tolerance though.

Knowing history doesn't make you smart, it just makes you think that you're smart.

Reminder that the Horton's stealth capabilities were unintentional and completely accidental. The developers were tasked with creating a light-weight, fast, long-range bomber.

The actor Bathyllus was known for an erotic dance in which he dressed as Leda having sex with the swan; the women watching were variously aroused.

Why do the People's Democratic Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea hate each other? They're both Korean republics, right?

>>3066516
Because someone who's seen to betray the cause is worse than the common enemy.

>>3066523
In that case there's a clear divide, both ideologically and geopolitically. Capitalist nation backed by USA versus communist nation backed by USSR. I don't see how that helps understand why the commies and nazis hated each other.

The Weimar republic eventually recovers and there is no war. Everything is pretty chill and the cold war starts maybe 10-20 years early.

there would be someone with another name
he basicly hijacked the nazi party

>The Weimar republic eventually recovers and there is no war.
The Weimar Republic was already caught rearming the airforce and violating the Versailles Treaty. Carl Von Ossietzky was killed for treason after exposing German re-armament.
I know this isn't a very convincing argument, but I highly doubt it would be "pretty chill"

Napoleonic if you're UK based.
It's not a cheap hobby mind. A lot of the uniform tends to be made in house using well researched materials and is hand stitched.
Full redcoats uniform and firelock can cost about £1200.
But its a great community to be part of, and most groups have loan kit that they're happy for you to use until you can get your own stuff.

I'm from the USA, but thank you for your advice! There's a possibility I may not join any groups, though, but just have the uniforms and gear for my own collection.

>>3066521
Whatever you do, don't go cheap. You can get cheap jackets made with mediocre wool and made by pakistanis but it tends to be ill fitting and you'll end up ditching it for the proper stuff anyways.

>What, so far, has been the most convincing account of the truth of freedom of the will, or the falsity of freedom of the will?

Neurologists have scanned the brain and seen that the decision to move a limb is made before the person is aware of it, and described the human consciousness as being along for the ride - you are a viewer, and observer of how your body acts, rather than an actor making decisions.
The decision to do something is made, then the process of doing that thing begins, then you are made aware of that decision, then you use your great power of rationalization to convince yourself that you made that decision.

Anyways, the burden of proof lies with free will supporters, not the other way around.
Free will isn't apparent, and isn't the least complicated solution, you should prove that such a unique and philosophically awkward thing exists, not assume it to and ask others to prove otherwise.

>>3066347
To append to this, a more curious question than if there is free will (anyone who looks at the question properly will deduce there isn't), is the question of how our social structure would work without the construct of free will?

Without blame, without merit, how do we judge criminals, how do we thank people for doing something good, and so on, if we publicly agree that what they did was just a consequence of their life until now, how they were raised, how society treated them, what positions they were put in, and so on.
Can't blame them, since they just observed the chain of dominoes coming down.

Free will in this sense is, like God, a construction required for humans to live in larger groups together, rather than just extended family packs like wolfs.

>rationalization
Indeed, it's worth nothing that most of your actions are rationalized post-facto. And on the flip side, the reason you did something in many cases is that you had precommitted to doing so beforehand (hopefully after thinking about it back then), so even when you've planned your actions you've only enslaved your future self to your past self's decisions: you still don't have free will in the present and few even realize what they're doing when they narrow their range of action by planning.

there's literally nothing wrong with having a Military Industrial complex.

except it propagates continuous war capitalism and ensures the interests of the state are war and death so thats cool but no thanks

Uhh.. a little late there, buddy.

Oh nice thread.

Anal beads lol

>>3066045
I've got the exact same beads as pic related, and more or less agree, even if they're cheap and cheerful camphor-oil dipped counterfeits. They've been around the block and then some.

No. There's really no proof that Hebrews were ever in Egypt in any significant numbers, unless you count the period when Egypt was ruling over the Levant.

>>3066010
Although there is no proof of an Exodus, there is archeological evidence of a Hebrew presence in Egypt, specifically as slaves.

Serabit el-Khadim, an ancient camp in the Sinai has the inscription "O El, save me from these mines." Most likely the first ever words from a Hebrew that was ever written down.

Yes. Africans need to give Jews reparations.

Had a passing listen to a Viasat History documentary once about how the idea of a great flood happening long ago isn't exclusive to the old testament but is common among pretty much all cultures and coincides around a time when some supermassive lake someplace around canada spilled out into the oceans due to melting icecaps, causing rising sealevels and floods globally. Haven't looked into this so have no idea of the validity, but that might be an interesting starting point.

Well, not with the entire world under water, and not literally two of every animal sans some unicorns that were late to the game, but certainly mankind did experience sudden and massive sea level rises, and as every civilization was birthed near a major water source, most certainly experienced devastating floods, and for a few, it probably was effectively their entire world. In the end, however, much like giants, it's a common fear involving some real life experience, writ large.

There's several parable stories, but none really share a specific time frame and are often derived from one another. Noah's story, for instance, is pretty clearly taken from the much older Epic of Gilgamesh.
