Napoleon hoped for Grouchy to show up at Waterloo but they didn't. Also, he couldn't defeat the british fast enough so Blucher and his prussians showed up instead and decimated them.

Napoleon's fault for letting Blucher escape in prior battles

A Cuban influence agent, like every other Latin American leftist.

A charismatic socialist who had god tier luck in governing when oil was at $100+ a barrel, and managed to use that money to create a lavish welfare system and support his fellow leftists in Latin America (Venezuela sent Cuba heavily discounted oil until very recently). He was also lucky enough to die before oil plummeted and made his welfare system/oil dependent economy unsustainable

Regardless he still led the country to make gains at building up the military which could serve as a deterrent for another NATO bloc attempt at an Arab Spring in the region.

Also le vingt cinq rule.

yes chrisitians get easily upset about the result of contemplation and they need to invent an interpretation where the human does not become one with god, contrary to hindus, because humans are too impure and their god is too pure.
Chrsitians claim that is it the energy of god that is felt during the contemplation.

Both hindus and christians are wrong and cling to spooks, but Christians are even worse than hindus about achieving contemplative states.

Who actually gives a shit about purity/impurity? Do people go around saying "CLEANSE THE IMPURE!!!!!!"? I've never seen that.

Humans were created specifically to not be a part of God. You choose to follow God's will because you want to, because you agree with God, through your experiences on Earth you learn and discover God's truth.

>How does this even work with divine simplicity?
It doesn't, hence why they deny that ancient doctrine

Nah, but seriously man, Everything going up to mass adoption of the printing press was also present; other places had societal conditions for rapid tech progress.

So, why us? Why did our tech revolution (1500s-on) change so much of the world, while these other ones barely made a difference?

Thanks for shitposting, bro.

They didn't have a Rothschild bank? (Probably that would be the response from the Rothschild poster.)

I would assume it was a culmination of low population, vast open space, easy access to clean water, and no major trade ports.

Well firstly, that's a really faggoty sounding quote.

I guess it technically is true, because most historical people the a erage person knows tend to be exaggerated caricatures of the actual person, but the spirit of the wuote is not. This is written so that it sounds like "the masses" are doing something bad, but why SHOULD they know every facet of their heroes personality? They aren't interested in history and just want someone to look up to. If they actually invested time into learning about who those heroes are, they would be historians, and not "the masses".

Jim Morrison said something like that but without making it sound so gay.

>>3334829
Is that so though? I get that mythification is something good that happens naturally with people and their heroes, but there's a difference between mythification, and idolification, just as "the masses" are not the same as the people or folk.

Why, oh why, would anyone be so mad over such a minor grievance? It made no sense to me why anyone would care THAT much. It was at that moment I realized that Protestantism was truly a mistake.

Do not get me wrong, nothing rubs me in the in the wrong direction more than Catholicism. While I respect their traditions and commitments greatly more so than the denominations formed up north, the idea of another man being closer to God than I am is an inconceivable untruth.

Where do I turn? I can't just stay in this state of limbo, but Protestantism and Catholicism are now equally garbage in my eyes. I wouldn't know the first thing about Orthodoxy other than people saying it's healthy for you as well as /pol/tards worshiping it for some reason (which sort of scares me but I should never turn something down solely because of its fanbase).

What do I do? Please no fedora answers, keep this &humanities thread relevant.

To clarify, I was raised in Episcopalian schools that were accepting of all backgrounds to an almost radical extent. They never truly focused on what it was to be "Episcopalian" it was more just generic 45 minute church services once or twice a week. That's why I said I'd try to turn towards the denomination I supposedly grew up in, despite being surrounded by it nobody ever truly explained to me what it entailed. Maybe my worldview was shaped by it which is why I'm having difficulty telling it apart. Tough to say. You tell me. Fuck I hate typing on my phone.

If he didn't go full autismo and replace his cousin as supreme commander the revolution wouldn't have succeeded. Might still have gotten kicked out of the war, but he'd still be ruling.

I'm genuinely curious if ancient finns looked like modern day finns

Literally exactly the same.

How do protestcunts justify faith alone when the Bible explicitly and preventively denies this doctrine?

How do Chr*stians justify following a messiah who states parts of the OT are no longer applicable when the bible explicitly denounces such a person?

>>3334181
the Bible*

Americans were able to afford it while yuropeans claim that they are superior for driving a 1l penalty box in traffic.

American's claim to be about self reliance, choice, freedom, and personal liberty, when in reality they're fat dumb fucking idiots who need their car, and their state to tell them what to do. The modern american man, he does not want control, he does not want responsibility, all this it wants is plop his fat gunt in front of the television and watch american idol, so the celebs can tell him what politician he ought vote for.

Americans are, and always will be, fat fucking loser pieces of shit, who NEED to die.

Die you fucking americans, find the nearest sledghammer and cave your fucking skulls in.

Forgive me ignorance, but why did Alexander not select a successor before he died?

Have you ever seen one to be so sure about that?

>>3333642
Because Greeks look like jews

>>3333670
This.
t.I am Greek.
We even have curly hair, at least, some of us.

Because they were essential to Egyptian and Persian warfare.

I don't know but I assume it's because their armies were mostly infantry, and archers would have a field day if they are not threatened by a large and powerful enemy cavalry.

>>3333601
harassing the enemy using hit and run tactics from a far away distance or on a horse is seen as being a pussy move instead of fighting fairly

archers shoot from far away and if enemy comes close they run away
