>“Regarding the things I say, I should supply even the proofs, so I will not seem to rely on my own opinions, but rather, prove them with Scripture, so that the matter will remain certain and steadfast.”

St. John Chrysostom (Homily 8 On Repentance and the Church, p. 118, vol. 96 TFOTC)

>"Let the inspired Scriptures then be our umpire, and the vote of truth will be given to those whose dogmas are found to agree with the Divine words."

St. Gregory of Nyssa (On the Holy Trinity, NPNF, p. 327).

>"We are not entitled to such license, I mean that of affirming what we please; we make the Holy Scriptures the rule and the measure of every tenet; we necessarily fix our eyes upon that, and approve that alone which may be made to harmonize with the intention of those writings."

St. Gregory of Nyssa (On the Soul and the Resurrection NPNF II, V:439)

>“What is the mark of a faithful soul? To be in these dispositions of full acceptance on the authority of the words of Scripture, not venturing to reject anything nor making additions. For, if ‘all that is not of faith is sin’ as the Apostle says, and ‘faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God,’ everything outside Holy Scripture, not being of faith, is sin.”

Basil the Great (The Morals, p. 204, vol 9 TFOTC).

>“For concerning the divine and holy mysteries of the Faith, not even a casual statement must be delivered without the Holy Scriptures; nor must we be drawn aside by mere plausibility and artifices of speech. Even to me, who tell you these things, give not absolute credence, unless you receive the proof of the things which I announce from the Divine Scriptures. For this salvation which we believe depends not on ingenious reasoning, but on demonstration of the Holy Scriptures.”

St. Cyril of Jerusalem (Catechetical Lectures, IV:17, in NPNF, Volume VII, p. 23.)

No, because most Jews oppose communism out of racial-class interest.

Sweden confirmed for third world country

Idk about russian jews but a lot of cuban exiles were communist spies

its tricky because he didnt think those ppl asking for "reform" actually meant independance
kudos to him for saying no to foreign military interventions

The ussr destroyed the ussr. The soviet system had so many cracks in it that it couldnt hold and it crumbled. Gorbachev was just the leader at the time, all he did was speed up the inevitable

>>2853887
Dubcek: worse late than never.

>>2853641
he was patrician tier for sure.

he hated hitler more for the fact that he was a "normal" guy from the proletariat than for the fact that he was a fascist
winston couldnt believe that anyone without noble blood or lineage could become the leader of anything

>>2853646
Yeah but he was right with that, Hitler and the other rabble where low class scum without the mental capacity to run a country, and they fucked up Germany for good.
Also, Winston was anti fascist, he strongly preferred democratic liberalism for its better society and economy.

How old are you? Does your mom know you are here?

>>2853566

42 and yes I have to ask her before I can use the computer.

>>2853556
You would have died there through suffocation without even feeling the heat

>>2853397
Neither.

The war would really only be solved if USA invaded NV.

But lord knows where that can of worms will lead.

No. US had literally no goal in Vietnam.

US public support is one factor. The other factor is Vietnam public support (which the US didn't have, nor the South Vietnam govt).

What even was the strategy/idea Johnson had behind escalation of the conflict? Nixon's handling makes some sense, while Johnson seems to be all reaction, no action stretched into four years.

Both are to be considered jokers imho

>>2853370
Couldn't this be boiled down to left vs right, of varying degrees of authoritarianism/radicalism?

>when will the post modernists stop?
When the last priest is hung with the guts of the last noble.

>>2853305
Because you don't just kill the few hundred threatening ones you also kill the other few million innocent ones.

>>2853305
because it causes millionfold human suffering

>>2853305
Boo hoo dont kill innocent people dribble


Genocide makes your enemy never attack you again because they no longer exist.

>Spend most of life on campaign with dad
>Never learn how to actually rule
>Promoted to co-emperor but still not given any actual responsibilities. Dad does it all
>Finally ascend to emperor but leave imperial administration to subordinates since you're unfamiliar with how to rule
>Senators who take you for a chump and try to seize power in coups
>In response have to crack down on them and take a more direct role in government
>Senate cries and write nasty things about you despite them trying to dethrone you
>Realize you such at ruling so appoint a trusted friend instead
>He ends up being corrupt as fuck and you have to execute him
>Declare yourself a god to try to get the people on your side and stop or at least isolate the nobility from them
>Say fuck it and decide to enjoy yourself for the first time as emperor and start having fun instead of constantly being shat on by the senate or screwing things up when you take direct control
>Political enemies won't even do the smart thing and let you stand as figurehead or enjoy yourself and have you assassinated

Basically the real problem was Aurelius wanting to give the emperorship to his son but not actually training him for the job. Commodus LITERALLY did nothing wrong.

It's a fucking movie man. The shits fake.

Because if you can have an enemy run without having to fight him, then it is double the victory - I'm assuming the reasoning behind it was to ensure the Ottomans thought twice before attacking him.

>>2853010
A badass stache makes you do things man.

>>2853010

Probably a cross between being buttraped by Turks as a young boy and wanting his enemies to be goddamned terrified of him.

>>2852986
A betrayal is personal, this was a temporary pact made by politically opposed enemies who both were preparing for war, the Germans had the grace to strike first.
>the action of betraying one's country, a group, or a person; treachery.
You know, like the Rosenbergs in the OP.

>>2852976
Alger Hiss comes to mind. Benedict Arnold of course.

>>2852772
Hindsight is 20/20, he didn't know a plague was going to wreck the empire's manpower and tax base

>should of

Why is it that only native english speakers do this

>>2852790
'Should've' sounds like 'should of'

I don't know about 'the best' but I don't see how it would be bad. They'd just have to be economically viable enough.

Landlords shouldn't exist.

>>2852114

Landlordism is a vile institution that should be abolished. The very last thing we should be doing is giving landlords even MORE wealth and power.

Broheim, everyone knows the Greek worshipped the athletic male form with small dicks. You learn this in any intro to western history class. Where have you been?

They were also highly homoerotic and women were to be kept at home lest they be prostitutes or worse, business owners in Roman times.

I studied them in a college class and I remember specifically learning that their proportions were heavily idealized, as was becoming common in Greek sculpture at the time.

If you want to see a truly anatomically correct Classical Greek statue, look no further than my man here.

>>2851876

I am in full agreement with this one.

I would rape her so hard and impregnate her womb with my common seed

>>2851876
Her pussy must have reeked. Apparently she seldom bathed.
