Reincarnation doesnt work like that buddy. You dont travel back in time, as it flows in a linear manner, the things you described could've been your past lives, you might or might not have experienced those things.

Besides, for example, a branch of christianism, spiritism, don't deny that there could be life in another planets whose souls could incarnate to, and it's a step by step reincarnation process where you start as a simple life form and work your way to the top, so if you're a sentient being now, you'll not reincarnate as a germ on some godforsaken planet in andromeda, unless it's a being much mord advanced than us human.

If reincarnation is real, the endgame is something similar to the cosmic side of marvel comics and movies, to pick up a stupid example.
>>
But 'you' won't have to, really. The only thing persistent between lives is the atman, all else changes and is changed. One could question if that even if reincarnation exists, if it really even is you being born again at all.

Because Caesar was still popular with the people. It was the elite that hated him. And Augustus had Agrippa.

Extensive propaganda, and ruthlessness. Caesar made the mistake of showing clemency; Octavian/Augustus murderized the shit out of anybody who he had reason to believe was plotting against him, which is not considered a significant part of his reign due to said propaganda

I'm really wondering, what prompted the USSR to change the name of the "Red Army" to "Soviet Army" in 1946?

There seems to be nothing on it. Is it propaganda related?
9 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
Probably, maybe to differentiate the current military with the heroic men who kicked the Nazis in the balls? It could also be to match the other countries, like how the Army of the United States is the US Army so too is the Army of the Soviet Union the Soviet Army. This is a great question, hope other Anons with actual knowledge jump on this.

The name was loosely linked to trotsky.

General HRE thread

But also i am writing a proper dark low fantasy novel that is going to be to a degree historically accurate.

Technologically it is going to be set in 1625, however, with gunpowder being much rarer and the whole story being generally more aesthetic and horrific than reality.

I need to know how a nation such as The Holy Roman Empire works so tell me if what i say is accurate will you?

Alright so as far as i understand it:

>The Kaiser is elected upon the death of the previous Kaiser.
>A fief grants one a vote. One may have control of many votes.
>The obligation of the vassals are almost strictly military and monetary.

Now what i really do not know is:
>Does it have a center of government where the electors have any say in any other matters?
>Where do these lords vote?
>What would make someone electable?
>What would make said person popular enough to win the election for example?
>What are the rules when it comes to foreign powers occupying imperial land? Is the whole Empire going to be pushed to war for such a thing?
>Are there Kings within the Empire?
>Is the emperor commanding of a larger army or is he just another elected great lord with no real advantage?

I believe Cerdic was a Briton, but I doubt he was who Arthur was based on.

http://www.effectivelanguagelearning.com/language-guide/language-difficulty

I want to learn a new language jusy for the heck of it.

These are the top four I want to learn (1 the most, 4 the least). Please help me order them most practical/useful to least as well.

1- Persian (Dari, family speaks it and I never bothered with it until recently)
2- Polish- latin alphabet/slavic sounding language seems super badass
3- Russian- sounds cool, learning Cyrillic would help with other languages
4- Swedish- literally just for Sabaton songs

I know Swedish will be the easiest. Will Polish or Russian be harder? Yes the former uses a Latin alphabet versus Russian's Cyrillic, but that shouldn't be such a problem as it only takes a few hours to learn a new alphabet from what I've heard.

Background: native English speaker with three years of high school French experience.

I'd learn whatever language my family speaks. It seems much easier than doing it alone, depending on how much you interact with your family.

Why is Old Testament even a part of Christian canon?
There are so many inconsistencies between it and NT, and even between different books of OT.

What's wrong with them? Why do sons go right while some go so fucked up? Is it possible for Islam to adapt and modernise and reform itself or will it always be held back by these barbaric freaks until it's eventually abolished all together?

>Why are some people nice and some dicks
Islam IS the problem to a degree, it never went trough the modernization phase most Christian denominations did because for the most part there wasn't any specific central institution to rebel against. Also most of the batshit cunts with influence were propped up by short-sighted westen interests. See: Afghanistan
