When and why did people start looking down upon incest?

>>2862988

I don't have an answer, but it doesn't even have to be written down as an aberration for one to be repulsed by it

>>2863002
why are you repulsed by it? It doesn't harm anyone

I would say that no one deserves to be violently murdered

certainly not deposed monarchs that rather haplessly allowed themselves to fall into this state

Nicholas II for sure, he wasn't known as *bloody* for nothing.

Whether they deserved to lose their power, you could genuinely argue either way, and I'd understand wanting to oust the Tsar (even though I like the guy).

But their awful murder was crossing the line. I wish Britain would have been able to take them in as exiles, but the eternal Paddy made sure that wouldn't happen.

Yes I know, it wasn't fair of me to include Agincourt in the OP, certainly, topping that is nigh impossible!

I don't know, it's so hard to choose between so many glorious moments like the evacuation at Dunkirk, the surrender of Singapore, the surrender of Suez, the surrender of Hong Kong...

Or maybe one of those five or six times they got conquered by some random French or Dutch people that were passing by.

Western style underwear had their origins in what the Romans called braccae. We have very little archaeological evidence of them, being made of biodegradeable material, but we know they were a kind of light pair of trousers that barbarians fighting the Romans often wore.

Nice spergout, time to be a hero mate

Hey, the archive functionality exists, linking old posts exists, why not use it?
The thread is more appropriate than half of the shit in the catalog, if nothing else it probably at least killed some neo-crusader pseud circlejerk.

Technically the French conquest of Alsace started in 1648 and ended in 1803. It wasn't one singular event. At first they seized the main cities but many patches of land remained German.
Before the Revolution the French parts of Alsace were relatively autonomous while having independent enclaves within it that were legally HRE.

I have found myself drawn to Christianity lately. Like not just being cultural Christian or an admirer of the story, but believing in the whole thing.

I feel like the man in G. K. Chesterton's metaphor that walked all over the world only to come back home again..

Christianity is the most potent religion on the planet. Jesus Christ was an insignificant man in life that died brutally on the edges of an empire, yet he is the most recognized and everlasting figure in the history of the world.

There is a durability in the Christian vision and an allure to the man, no doubt about that

>>2862390
Not that I disagree but I'd like to keep religion and arguments about Christianity out of this if possible and just focus solely on the philosophy of Jesus Christ as a person.

Sorry. I do think he has unique insight into love. There is something he said that has always stuck with me, even in my most edgy atheist days. He remarked that merely loving others who love you is not a virtue, for even the most wicked among us do the same (paraphrasing).

It is true, isn't it? Most people in our prisons, guilty of the most heinous crimes, retain friendships with their fellow kind and a love for their mother at the very least.

The Turks ran it into the ground trying to conquer all of Europe.

>>2861845
Probably there were also some environmental changes, some caused by natural climate change and others by human activity... after all, Egypt isn't exactly a breadbasket of the entire Mediterranean anymore.

Loved to see the niggers in Madagascar culturally enrich kikes.

Of the 5 bloodiest wars in the ME since Israel was established, none have involved Israel

Israel being responsible for arabs murdering each other is hilarious /pol/ damage control

>>2861641
they had talked about madagascar but they never put it into action. it was just an extension of the original thinking pre-wwii that they needed to encourage jews to leave germany. this had some success but older jews and the poor weren't eager to start a new life somewhere else or didn't have the means to. eventually I suppose they decided with the jews already rounded up in ghettos in Poland that it would be simpler to send them somewhere nearby for extermination rather than the logistics nightmere that transporting millions of jews to africa would be.

communist plot to undermine the West

They are afraid of wrongly executing someone that doesn't deserve it.

the meme has spread through western culture that vengeance is not justice, and in fact undermines justice. And capital punishment is blatantly nothing more than a spiteful revenge killing, a government sanctioned murder of someone particularly disliked. Nothing can be learned from it, nothing can be gained. There is no positive aspect. The only argument in favor of it is a cold spartan one - that we should just kill undesirables because it's cheaper than paying for them for the rest of their lives - that leaves a bad taste in the mouth of most essentially liberal westerners.
