Because life is meat and meat twitches as long as it has order and energy.

>>2953134
You presuppose it's meaningless, from which no, you can't derive a point.
But it's only meaningless if you think it is; you reject the possibility for argument in your post by assuming your ideology.

I believe there is a meaning in the end. Obviously it is a blind opinion, I have no proof of this, as do every different opinion.

But the experience of life itself made me to believe on a meaning.

Wtf happen?

Staged photographs. Those people were in a refugee camp where they received food and shelter, not a concentration camp.

Cincinatus stands out as everything you hope for in the leader of a republic. Someone who's does the job not for immediate personal benefit and power, but for the good of society and posterity

As the parable says- by it's fruit, you shall know a tree. What are the fruits of Islam? Judging the nations where it is implemented- largely ignorance, superstition, violence and poverty.

Depends on if you're the one getting your johnsson cut off, Lebowski.

Nihilism is just 1 perspective out of an infinite amount, and while there might exist some sound arguments for why it should be privileged compared to other perspectives, good arguments also exist for the other perspectives.

can you believe this is actually supposed to be anti axis?

If I lived during the war in the US and knew nothing about the Axis, then I'd join them as a soldier as soon as I would've seen this poster.

All celtic lands belong to the Anglo-Saxon realm

>>2952569
Not to derail the thread, but this made me think of something:

Why is it that the modern Celtic languages, all in the western half of Europe, never developed along the lines of "Standard Average European"?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Average_European

"Based on nine of the above-mentioned common features, Haspelmath regards French and German as forming the nucleus of the Sprachbund, surrounded by a core formed by English, the other Romance languages, the Nordic languages, and the Western and Southern Slavic languages. Hungarian, the Baltic languages, the Eastern Slavic languages, and the Finnic languages form more peripheral groups.[6] All languages identified by Haspelmath as core SAE are Indo-European languages. However, not all Indo-European languages are SAE languages: the Celtic, Armenian, and Indo-Iranian languages remain outside the SAE Sprachbund.[7]"

I can understand Armenian and Indo-Iranian not developing the features because they were so far away.

First Karma is not a bank account for good and bad deeds. Second it does not exist.

i wish there was some kind of /oriental studies/ since you guys here are too western and euro-us-centric

Making bad choices increases the chance that bad things will happen to you. It's still just a chance though. Sometimes you get lucky.

>Myth
Dutch are taller than Vietnamese
>Reality
The majority of Dutch have normal height, like the Vietnamese. In both groups exist tall and small people.

Being a nomad is an awful existence you are constantly moving looking for food and alone in a see of grass. There is a reason most nomads take the first chance they have to leave the nomad lifestyle behind.

I'm sorry, pic related is a better image. Also, this:

> "Survival was a moral as well as a physical struggle. A woman doctor wrote to a friend in June 1933 that she had not yet become a cannibal, but was "not sure that I shall not be one by the time my letter reaches you." The good people died first. Those who refused to steal or to prostitute themselves died. Those who gave food to others died. Those who refused to eat corpses died. Those who refused to kill their fellow man died. Parents who resisted cannibalism died before their children did."

>So, was it genocide?
Yes, Ukrainians were singled out for annihilation. inb4 "Ukrainians are Russians"

>Will we ever know for sure how many lives were lost?

No, because the Soviet records are sketchy. They intentionally delayed the census of 1936 because of the Holodomor, for example.

>>2952407
Many lives were lost but it was a famine not a genocide. Also the Ukranian kulaks were uncooperative and were acting with profit-driven motives, so they were punished accordingly.

A modern long-range nuclear missile, or if that's too big then a smaller nuke of some kind. One object representing the pinnacle of human weapons development and (close to) the pinnacle of our understanding of physics, as well as the invention that ended large-scale warfare between great powers. If I can bring a modern missile it will also show the absolute extent of our development of computers as well.

I can show it to an alien and say "we got this far", and they would probably be able to glean a solid understanding of our total scientific progress before destruction.

>industrialization was good
Wew

>>2952242
You couldn't have had the industrial revolution without the agricultural revolutions in England and Scotland first. You need a boost in ag productivity before you can have large numbers of peoples in factories.

>>2952244
without industrialization you wouldn't have a computer in the first place
