Because the Dharma is eternal

>>2918412
They don't.

Because Buddhism didn't abandon its praxy in favor of rational materialism like Christianity did. This is why the Buddha not being an actual person is irrelevant to Buddhism, yet Jesus not being real invalidates the entirety of Christianity.

The Stalinist economic boom was significantly slower than those in South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, or China.

In fact, given the degree to which Russia was industrializing before WW1, it's highly likely that communism harmed Russia's economy, even during its best years.

>Between the poverty stricken year of 1924, when Lenin died, and the relatively abundant year of 1940, the cultivated area of USSR expanded by 74 percent; grain crops increased 11 percent; coal production was multiplied by 10; steel output by 18; engineering and metal industries by 150; total national income by 10; industrial output by 24; annual capital investment by 57. During the First Five-year Plan, 51 billion rubles were invested; during the Second, 114; and during the Third, 192. Factory and office workers grew from 7,300,000 to 30,800,000 and school and college students from 7,900,000 to 36,600,000. Between 1913 and 1940, oil production increased from nine to 35 million tons; coal from 29 to 164; pig iron from 4 to 15; steel from 4 to 18; machine tools from 1000 to 48,000 units, tractors from 0 to over 500,000; harvestor combines from 0 to 153,500; electrical power output from two billion kWh to 50 billion; and the value of industrial output from 11 billion rubles to more than 100 billion by 1938. If the estimated volume of total industrial production in 1913 be taken as 100, the corresponding indices for 1938 are 93.2 for France; 113.3 for England, 120 United States; 131.6 for Germany, and 908.8 for the Soviet Union.

Schuman, Frederick L. Soviet Politics. New York: A.A. Knopf, 1946, p. 212

>Russia, 20 years ago the least mechanized country, has become the foremost…. In the same decade between 1929 in 1939, in which the production of all other countries barely mounted, while even dropping in some, Soviet production was multiplied by 4. The national income mounted between 1913 in 1938 from 21 to 105 billion rubles. The income of the individual citizen was increased by 370% in the last eight years–with only irrelevant income taxes and reasonable social security contributions imposed upon them–while it dropped almost everywhere else in the world.

lmao

maybe you could take pride in your personal accomplishments instead of your ancestors'

>>2917567
But I was interested in history, it was my favourite hobby in fact. Was until I figured my actual nation was worthless and leearning about history of other nations is cuckold.

>>2917581
just view yourself as Russian lol Belarus is just a meme country anyway should be part of russia

Where the helmet/masks made from carved wood or something?

>>2917294
In some cases yes, but when it was practical they went for the kill. The flower wars was not a widespread foreign policy tactic.

>>2917294
Yes, they used wooden clubs specifically for that purpose that it would wound but not kill.

>>2915855
What about gay men? Why does homosexuality exist?

>>2915855
>Why aren't men attracted to fit, toned, muscular women?
Its hot, but only up to a point.

No it wouldnt create stronger offspring. It would create potentially stronger offspring. There would be no fitness advantage for the first few years of life, so thats probably why humanity never went tat evolutionary path

>>2913885
depends on time period and area. Some of it was ok and just the way you'd organize things before you have professional administration.
What timeframe/area are you looking into?

>get a qt peasant wife and have a nice family essentially given to you
>work much less than a modern person because you can stop working when you have what you need, instead of having mr sheckelstein breathing down your neck forcing you to work 80 hours a week
>the medieval, enchanted worldview ensures that your life feels meaningful. you're part of a cosmic drama between good and evil, unlike today where life feels meaningless and hollow, creating a void which most people haven't figured out how to fill

Move to rural China, start a farm, and find out.

>started ww1, killing millions of people
>richest family in the world while most of the country is living in the medieval ages, illiterate and extremely poor
>desperately tried to prevent any peaceful social change, did everything to maintain feudal aristocratic domination of russia

cry me a fucking river

>>2912900
they would probably point and laugh, just like people do today

No, they would think they were stupid and ugly.

They'd instantly convert to Genova's Witnesses and go on the Big Lenny diet+gear plan.

No idea but I can tell you that Switzerland's success (along with denmark, norway, etc...) is because of their refusal to integrate with the globalist vision of one large european union

Well, they took Egypt, so that can't be the case

>lumping together dozens of different countries each with their own language, culture and 1000+ years of animosity with their neighbours
>good idea

>tfw euroskeptic and never even been to europe
Yeah pretty bad idea

Yes when i was 13 I watched the documentary "The root of all evil" with my dad and when it got up to the part about christian fundies doing plays about people being tortured in hell I started vomiting and sat in my room facing the wall for 2 weeks afterwards because I couldn't feel anything but fear.

That is fault of 1. French debt 2. International closure of trade for most products outside of sugar, chocolate, indigo and coffee and 3. The Milat elite who took over not giving a fuck about blacks something most people don't get.

The mixed race population of Saint Domingue WERE NOT FIGHTING FOR A COLORLESS SOCIETY, they fought to be grouped with the Grand Blancs and had their own revolt before the Revolution occurred. Those who supported the Haitians did so to become the white French elite they were replacing.

the cynics

>>2923648

Yes.

>>2923655

Care to elaborate anon?
