Does evil actually exist? Or is it a subjective concept based on culture that people use to put down things they don't like?

>Does evil actually exist?
Yes.
>>
>>3332708
Evil is mostly subjective but the vast majority of humanity, present and past, can agree on certain things instinctually. Killing other people without the Big Man On Top's permission or a reasonable casus belli, for example. Taking other people's things when the rest of the group doesn't want you to. Raping someone's property.

As an interpretation, yes.
As an absolute state? I have yet to be convinced.

How effective was the Waffen-SS as a fighting force?
20 posts and 4 images submitted.

>>3332313
about 3 or 4 divisions were very good, another 3 or 4 were avarage, comparable to any standart divisions of WW2. Rest were Volksturm with shitty weapons and judeo-negroid soldiers
>>
>>3332346
This. Only a few divisions were good.
>>
>>3332346
Volk grenadiers in the battle of the bulge were a fairly effective fighting force

But then again they were outfitted with the best equipment

Let's talk about Burma!
I've studied much on Chinese History, but have never really delved into Southeastern Asian histories and cultures, specifically Burmese. Lets talk about them, /his/.
My first question is, why do Burmese armours look so extravagant and spiky? (At least from what i've seen.)

What are your thoughts on the very real possibility that during our lifetime humans will set foot on another planet for the first time? Or that thousands of years from now (assuming humanity survives that long) this event might be considered the single most important moment in history, on par with invention of the wheel, agriculture etc.?

Would it really be so celebrated? Reaching Mars might be a benchmark, but that wouldn't make it some kind of spectacular achievement. Most everyone's life would remain the same.
>>
>>3330460
That's why I said thousands of years from now. Like you said the impact on people living now would be minimal, hardly more than trivia, but if you look at it from the perspective of someone living in an advanced society spanning multiple planets or even galaxies the year man first left earth for another planet is surely a game changing moment in history from their viewpoint. Like the invention of agriculture was except this time there's a clear recorded time and place for it.

It'd be neat, might give us some scientific progress, but its utility is limited. Earth is already the best planet for humans, no planet nearby has anything better to offer.

Both, and neither, Marx's legacy in the world will be that he forced regulation to improve the general situation of workers in the west, out of fear of uprising, Bismarck's welfare state, the reforms made by labour in post WW2 Britain, etc, if you listen to the internationale most of it seems to be about workers being downtrodden, not the need to abolish all property.

He was an academic NEET who wrote all sorts of alcohol and isolation fueled philosophy just like everyone else who has a book like his.

He did say that he wanted the abolition of private property. I mean I doubt most people care about whether they can own their fucking pen, but if I wanted to make a living through my computer and internet I might give a fuck there.

Are liberal arts curriculums worthless? Should the humanities be expunged from higher education?

There was literally ONE book I read in English class that wasn't about oppressed minorities. It's not just the liberal arts courses that have political messages anymore.
>>
Liberal arts departments are net money makers for the school. An English department is far cheaper to run than a mechanical engineering department for obvious reasons. Purple haired Sjws studying women's lib are paying for the mechanic engineering department's yearly Matlab license and then some.

College sports is really what should be defunded imho

Does a liberal arts curriculum encompass all of the humanities and even math and science though?

Did the USians lost it to the rice farmers, or Hippies?
102 posts and 11 images submitted.

The whole premise of the war was unwinnable. The US didn't want to invade North Vietnam to permanently put them down, because that would have likely brought China and Russia into it. So instead, they ended up grinding it out for several years getting nowhere. Eventually public support for the war was basically nonexistent. The US didn't lose the war in a tactical sense, but rather from a shitty strategy sense
>>
>>3328640
The Hippies. Tet Offensive was a disaster, and the NVA were taking casualties like nobody's business. The US just had to hunker down and wear down the north Vietnamese until they would agree to a korea-style compromise, since complete annexation of the north was unlikely due to the sheer unrest / guerilla fighting that would continue in the event of a full occupation.
But, instead the US pulled out because a bunch of hippie college students decided that containing communism in East Asia and upholding American foreign policy wasn't enough of a cause to justify ~50,000 dead Americans (compared to the ~1,000,000 dead of the north).

In another timeline, where Ho Chi Minh did not fail to get US support & they were able to get a nice, independent Vietnam w/o communism, America is still remembered as never having lost a war, just like in Patton's speech.

Obviously not Japanese but that aside it was one the main conditions of the surrender that the emperor remain in his position but he had to give up claims of in some way being divine and iirc Hirohito was largely uninvolved in the war

Why are Celts so irrelevant?
They never contributed to anything. Celtic languages are dead, not even Irish speak their own language anymore.

They got all Germanised.

Celts were probably a culture band rather than a race or even a united people per se.
The connections drawn between the insular and Continental Celts are very weak and specious.

from northwest india/pakistan/afghanistan area. everyone gets tired of their shit and expells them thousands of years ago. They migrated through the turkic lands of the Eurasian steppes. settling in eastern europe. where they remained isolated and nomadic sub culture groups in europe. where the europeans grew to not like their shit.

>Where can I find reliable information on Romani History, myths, and culture?
I will be your source

I lived next to a gypsy village for 3 weeks when I was on a business assignment in Romania
A gypsy tribe also settled for 2 weeks in the local park of my village a few years back.

I will tell you this about them: all the nasty and horrible things eastern Europeans and balkan people tell you about them are true. I have grown a deep hatred for the gypsies and truly consider their culture and habits disgusting.

I too form my opinion about millions of people based on personal observations. I begin to hate entire ethnic groups after having bad experiences with several of its representatives.
