he truth about Adolf Hitler is well-hidden by the Zionists and the Jews. After WWI, the Treaty of Versailles ensured that Germany would be thoroughly humiliated and would be plunged into an economic abyss. For instance, in 1918, 5.2 German marks equaled $1, in 1921, 64.9 German marks equaled $1 and in 1923, 4.2 million German marks equaled $1. Meanwhile the Jews were enriching themselves at the expense of the German people. They owned virtually everything in Germany.

After the 1929 stock market crash, for which the Rockefellers, JP Morgan and the Rothschilds were totally and solely responsible, Germany became a bankrupt country. In 1928 there were 650,000 unemployed people, in 1930 this number had increased to 3 million, and in 1933 there were 6-7 million unemployed Germans.

Then Hitler came along, and gave hope to millions waiting for social justice. He fought both the Jews, the Communists and the Capitalists. [At this point I couldn’t make much sense of the automated Facebook translation, but the paragraph ends with an epic “fuck fucking product Jewish”].

Millions of people were helped back to work, which gave them new confidence and welfare. Hitler’s ideas included building motorways the length and breadth of the country. Hitler looked upon the charging of interest on loans, as done by the Anglo-American and Jewish banksters, as immoral, and by forcing banks to abolish the practice of usury, millions were freed from the slavery of debt. In only five years, Germany became the most powerful and prosperous state of Europe.

So why is he considered to be evil? Because he found a way to free the people from being slaves to the Jews? Because he found a way to create a better world, free from Zionists?

So this is an event that supposedly took place in 1212 at behest of the pope who believed only the pure could retake the holy land. Regardless of the accuracy this event is described with think of the poor professional soldiers having to slaughter a crusades worth of children.
>Be a soldier following your lord/sultan
>Pay is good but work is dangerous
>Suddenly children are invading your lands
>Wat.jpg
>Commanded to defend against them
>Oh god all this children's blood, it's everywhere. Oh god make it stop they just keep coming. Why do they keep coming, I've killed so many of them. Please end this
>Feel dead on the inside but not hurt on outside because fighting children

What do you think this event was like /his/?

his, what is art? Is it a meaningful concept? Why is this can of shit considered art?

The problem is this one: For the last century artists have constantly tried to undermine the concept, resulting in urinals and pic related being considered art.

So the concept is obviously open, changing, and determined by social factors, there is nothing within the art object itself that can be used to tell if something belongs to the category of art or not.

But this doesn't help defining the concept of art at all; if something is art because someone considers it to be art, who decides, and who decides who decides?

The concept does not seem to be purely about describing objects, it is also normative: "This is not art because it is not good enough to be art", or "this is so good it's art".

If art critics/museums/scholars are to say if something is art or not, this means art outside of institutions cannot exist, which seems stupid. It also gets weirdly circular: X is is art because it's in a museum, and it's in a museum because it is art. Also, shouldn't art also be considered so by the public, not only by the institutions?

hindu mythology has some of the most absurd and ridiculously detailed descriptions of mystic weaponry and power i have ever seen out of any religion or mythology.

Just have a read and look at how ridiculous it all is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astra_(weapon)

Can anyone who actually studies this try to explain this to me?
why would they write their characters and hero's to be so over the top powerful as opposed to more relaxed "Zeus throws lightning bolts lol"?

Disregarding the shit show that is now in the middle east, not pointing fingers at whose fault it is, but it wasn't always so shit right?? Like take the year 700 for example...Muslims Jews and Christians lived together in the caliphate in peace (not taking into account the wars with the byzantine empire), women weren't oppressed (citation needed?), people weren't killed for renouncing Islam....how else was Arabia different in the year 700 compared to now?

The perfect woman doesn't exi-

>"Hedy has the most incredible personal sophistication. She knows the peculiarly European art of being womanly; she knows what men want in a beautiful woman, what attracts them; and she forces herself to be these things. She has magnetism with warmth, something that neither Dietrich nor Garbo has managed to achieve."
>The lack of acting challenges bored Lamarr. She reportedly took up inventing to relieve her boredom.
>At the beginning of World War II, Lamarr and composer George Antheil developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes, which used spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat the threat of jamming by the Axis powers.
