Which country suffered the most in WW2 and why was it Poland?
>get invaded by Germans
>if this doesn't seem bad enough, you get invaded by the Soviets
>no chance to resist and your """allies""" are too busy jerking off behind Maginot Line to do anything to help you
>be partitioned between two totalitarian regimes, both want to destroy you as a nation
>germans treat you as second class citizens, deport families from their homes so they can resettle themselves there
>soviets persecute all intellectuals who they see as a threat and kill off all your army officers
>a small force who escapes is fighting for the british under the hope that they will help you liberate your homeland
>meanwhile your people are preparing for an uprising which your allies have said to help support
>Warsaw Uprising happens
>Allies do jack shit to help you and Soviets just watch you fight and die from across the Vistula
>still continue to fight for the British under the false pretense of liberation, even though the Brits themselves have agreed with Stalin to let you get occupied by Soviets
>war ends and Western Allies abandon you to the Soviets
>have to suffer 50 years of occupation of a shitty oppressive communist regime which fucks over your economy for generations
>is now the laughing stock of Europe and only known to the Brits (the people who stabbed you in the back in the first place) as the country of toilet cleaners and prostitutes.
If I was Polish, I would just kill myself out of pure shame. I feel bad for them.
>>2843030
You didn't mention operation Tannenberg.
And yeah, it was Poland without doubt.
>>2843030
Definitely Poland, 2nd would be Ukraine

Why are the Brits so evil?
Does existence precede essence?
>>2842801
Essence is existence.
However, not all existence has essence.
>>2842865
I want to understand Sartre's philosophy. Existence preceding essence is basically the same thing as the concept of Tabula Rasa, right?

Impossible to discern.

Why did protestants make up "sola scriptura?" It's nowhere in the Bible and beyond the fact that the Bible deals with spiritual and metaphysical subject matter the books don't have any unique properties which make them infallible or perfect. Ironically the only reason certain books are considered canon in the Western Church is due to that "tradition" which protestants so despise.
>>2842062
2 Timothy 3:16-17
>>2842068
It says it's "God breathed" and useful. It doesn't say it's perfect or that the words of scripture alone should be worshiped.
>>2842068
The Protestant claim is that the Bible is the sole rule of faith, but the verse cited makes no claims concerning this. To read this in support of sola scriptura, you have to project that onto the verse.
It's 1939. An Austrian artist named Adolf Hitler meets a Georgian priest named Joseph Stalin at a bar. How will their conversation go?
>want to double team Poland, you pinko kike?
>sure thing, reactionary stooge
>Joseph Stalin
>Not Iosif Dzhugashvili
You had one job OP.
>Adolf Hitler
>not Adolf Shicklgruber
You had one job, OP.
>Hitler
>White
>Pick one
Same cold dead eyes as Merkel.
>blue eyes
>white
Pick two.

What was the most "What were they thinking?" moment in history?
>>2841800
Don't fuck with the Jews.
>>2841794
Operation Barbarossa
Serious, not / pol/, But how do people in the past define if a person is "White" or not? by what standard?
>>2841725
How far in the past? Like yesterday?
>>2841744
Not OP but I'd assume he means 1492-1776ish
>>2841725
That distinction arose primarily in the Americans, where the identity of "Whiteness" was used to contract with the enslaved "blackness" or mixed Mestizo.. Before that, "White" is very much a secondary identity, behind nationality and ethnicity.
So at the very start, the people primarily identified themselves as white were people of European origin who were not enslaved in the Americans and not the child of a mixed marriage.
How did views on interracial marriage come around in such a short time despite so much being against it?
So he had to show pictures that he had black family members? I don't get it.

Is there any truth to this? because it sounds like pure bullshit
>>2841380
True in a sense. You get the beginnings of a priestly class in shamanhood but it takes the surplus of grain monocultures to create the pyramids. So to speak.
If you can have a surplus, and maintain it, of some valuable object (in this case, grain food), you have power over people who don't have that surplus. You can even raise a soldier class to fight other tribes and to put down rebellions of (effectively) slave farmers. And then your priest caste gets to justify this by saying "will of god(s)" pretty much.
If everyone had a universal constructor, government wouldn't exist except on a purely cooperative level.
of course it's pure bullshit. It wasn't primitive communism, it was tribalism.
And power structures have always existed with our race; and most of our ancestor races. Resource allocation is part of our power structure.
>>2841394
CONT.
Also notice, though, the absurdity of using "communism". To describe it. Communism requires a central computer to be inserted in place of calculations between innumerable cognitive entities (people).
>>2841396
There were a diversity of cultures that adapted to their particular environment. The "good" thing about tribalism is that they couldn't enforce their shittiness anywhere as wide as empires were able to enforce their shittiness.
Why do Russians never surrender?
>>2841175
Because they have this mentality that they're the best and always in the right. Every single fucking ryssä to this day is a paukapää like that.
Millions of Russians got taken POW in the first six months of Barbarossa.
>>2841191
Same as the French, but unlike the French they continued to fight and resist.

What distinguishes the New Left from the Old Left? How and why did the New Left arise?
>>2841040
why don't you gooogle it
it's not like /his/ can give you a better answer than any other sites anyway
>>2841040
Old left fought for lgbtq rights
New left shoves lgbtq values unto others
>>2841040
Old left goal was in essence economic/political equality. It had many flavours but at the root it was a right to live a decent life and to have voice/be represented.
Then after all the failed leftist experiments it was obvious that capitalism had won the economic war. So left shift to identity issues and all that jazz.
Some people think it is a reduction in the left scope "economic war lost->seek new narrow front to keep fighting". Other people think it is a major contraofensive and not a reduction of the front (see frankfurt school, critical theory, cultural war, etc).
