>What is happiness?
An emotion felt when one has achieved a goal one has set for oneself.

>How can an average person be happy with their life, while another in the same situation feel like a complete mess?

Each man has his own circumstances, goals, and mind, and so each has a different happiness.

>Advertising is based on one thing, happiness. And you know what happiness is? Happiness is the smell of a new car. It's freedom from fear. It's a billboard on the side of the road that screams reassurance that whatever you are doing is okay. You are okay.

>But what is happiness? It's a moment before you need more happiness. ... You're not happy with anything. You don't want most of it, you want all of it.

This is nearly impossible to do but I'll do a general overview.

God has sent his instruction to lots of different cultures and peoples but the message always gets corrupted, see Paul the Apostle in regard to Christianity. So God sends Uncle Mo to clear shit up and reveal his message and instructions completely and in the form of his literal words, the Qur'an. God also instructs Muslims to closely follow all of Mo's actions, thus the Hadith is born.

But the Qur'an is written in crazy arabic which leads to esoteric shit like scholars claiming that the Qur'an has multiple layers to every word that only the most gifted people can understand, while people fight over what Hadith tradition is the most accurate to what Mo really did.

Islam is pretty similar to Judaism, like their dietary laws, with heavy Christian influence, like Jesus being the Word of God, as well as Arab influence like the existence of Djinn.

It's an extremely successful operating system for desert warlords

>>2915415
Would Islam be a little less batshit without the Hadith's, like if part of gods message was more "Do what I say, not what Mo does"?

>and to "have them executed by soldiers dressed in Santa Claus outfits while amplifiers [played] Mary Hopkin's "Those Were the Days." This did in fact occur exactly as he ordered.

yes? they had no intent to however

>>2915220
How do you know that?

>>2915162
Yes, if they went for having proxies rather than occupying an annexing land. They managed to alienate Serbia within a decade and turn their proxy into a bitter enemy.
Funnily enough, i don't think Germany would let them do that. And why do you say Russian help? Their interests clashed over the straits.

well this is what boys looked like in Ancient Greece

I read Decline and Fall up to the chapter about the evolution of Christianity... very refined, though he does generalize about certain traits of the different nations he writes about, and has a definite disdain for non-Romanized culture.

My favorite part of the work was when he started talking about Elagabalus.

Finely wrought and influential, though it has very little value as a historical text, in light of modern research and archeology.

They belonged to a meme nation. Why would any one of their soldiers feel compelled to fight and die for some jumped up warlord in a fancy costume?

I was referring more to under the Qing than the "Republic" of China.

If your training and leadership are deficient, and your government corrupt and incompetent, then you are going to lose against practically any opponent with some level of organization. The Beiyang Fleet, while impressive on paper, was out-of-date by the time of the First Sino-Japanese War, short of ammunition for training, and simply lacked any effective administrative structure to ensure that it was kept in good order.

Cronyism, ethnocentrism, and putting Israel first

they are the chosen people

>>2914476
Absolutely false. Most Ivy League admissions are whites and asians.

People just want memes these days.

Normies will always be fundamentally uninterested in anything that doesn't involve sports or fucking Chad/Stacey. We're always going to be the ones in the back of the class who are the only ones who care about the lesson.

I believe you are so right. I hated history until I had a teacher at the time I thought I hated. She was so passionate and I learned so much from her. I think the lack of good history teachers is the fact that... What is our real history. With all the deception that goes into it, how could you teach it with a straight face. Just my opinion and that can get you fired or even killed now a day's

Innovation is most important as it contributes to the overall progress of humankind.

Also based on the veil of ignorance argument that society should be structured so that the least well off are looked after the most, that should be valued.

Lol I bet niggers wpuld have the lowest numbers haha

Pray for faith, maybe.

Adhere to a philosophy that doesn't require the buy-in of a deity.

>>2913999
Try to get superstitious first, from there it is only a small step to religion.

Giving this a bumpu. The story in the OP image paints the French Canadiens as being unjustly oppressed by anglos throughout their history to this present day and has scarcely a bad word to say about them. It's a great story and I love an underdog, but I'm curious if this is the full picture or if liberties have been taken with this narrative to support a certain bias.

>>2915751
> if liberties have been taken with this narrative to support a certain bias.

If you're looking for an unbiased view, a 4chan screencap is not the way to go.

Like most of the stuff on this site, it's a list of somewhat unrelated or very tenuously related grievances, strung together to make a coherent narrative. When you get sentences like "anglo owned business would try to harm Quebec by withdrawing", you know you're in for a wild ride of logic.

Anyway, the answer is "it's a cause people can use to get elected, so it will never die."

>>2913865

If you're looking for a pretty good textbook I'd consider anything by Bumsted, probably The Peoples of Canada.

A CBC documentary entitled Canada: A People's History is quite good as well.

Canadian history tends to be broken up into sections such as Quebec, the Prairies, Maritime Provinces etc...

Today, Canadian history departments have an absolute fetish for anything on Injuns, whether it's treaties, reconciliation, or anything that tends to say whitey was bad and I am no exaggerating.

Yes. But I can't prove me them wrong to you.

People don't make fun of them because they're wrong, they make fun of them because they're stereotyped as being comically pretentious and up their own ass about something.I absolutely guarantee you most of the people ridiculing fedoras are atheists themselves, atheists who simply find the atheistic proselytizing smug fuckwits equally as intolerable to religious proselytizing smug fuckwits.
