The Great War that spawned it

>>2561678
World War II in China was extremely complicated.

>>2561758
I especially loved that time when the Chinese flooded their land to try and slow down the Japanese but only managed to kill millions of their civilians.

Because it was recorded, kept, and passed down for centuries? Maybe the Muslims have it right, there is a fucking REASON these tales existed in the first place: every Abrahamic religion that claims to have come into contact with God is telling the truth.

>>2561456
what blatant bullshit do you mean?
the biblical story
or the popular notion that kain and abel fucked their mother?

>>2561490
Who did they fuck if not their mother?the bible doesn't mention sisters.

It can help define your ends. Who would stop worshiping Moloch and start worshiping Yahweh if they believed absolute faith was the most important thing ever?

>>2561510
I suppose however the comparison of the pair would be clinical and irrelevant to the individual without inherent preset bias towards one outcome or the other.
While logic is extremely important the pressence of irrational, preprogrammed or nurtured traits seems relatively ignored in how the west now approaches the human condition.

its dificult to understand this, the brain quite literaly rejects this, especialy in males, since nothing makes useful sense to the logical mind if it dosent somehow make logical sense, but other than banal 2+2=4 bits of absurd info about reality, nothing actualy makes any logical sense

the rattional brain, or, whichever parts of it perform the cognitive functions that are involved in being rattional, or at least being capable of being rattional on occasion, are truly tools, biological mechanisms the function of which is to help with solving problems, same as opposable thumbs or eye muscles, but they are very powerful tools, so much so that they often dictate how a organism approaches all of reality, by the logic of ''if all you got is a hammer...''

this results in a sort of paradox, namely that, as the logical mind attempts to approach every thing as a sort of problem to be solved or understood, as a thing to be systemised and controlled or in some other way physicaly or conceptualy neutralised or processed, the human being is damned to eternal frustration since reality is made up of absolutely nothing rattional, truly solvable or even meanigfull beyond basic crude physiological necesity that the rattional mind exists to service

in a sense, if these are 'means', there are no corresponding 'ends', not realy, not in the longrun, since in all of existence there is no rational, logical 'end'

so the 'means' themselves are pseudorattional, not just cause of that whole discrepancy, but moreso because the organism itself is a irrational byproduct of selfless chaos, and the brain is no different, so the forces that drive this frustration, this autistic need to mentaly grasp objects and reduce them to something logical, is basicaly just nternal neurosis, negation, inability to accept shit as is, mainly because it is shit

rattionalisation is then just a basic psychological defence mechanism, even a healthy one at times

the only other way is to die inside

East Asians are extra Neanderthal.
/pol/ really struggles to comprehend this and they get massively upset if you try to tell them that Europeans aren't descended from Neanderthal women who had sex with African men.

>>2561405
What are non-Eurooean caucasoids and why are they so near genetically speaking to Europeans?

>>2561221
Better organization gives an advantage in large-scale conflict and proliferation.

>Non-religious

>>2561221
Japan is a Buddhist country. Not non religious, dumb ass.

Well people didn't torture dogs for fun under Zoroastrian rule so...

>>2561134
There is literally no evidence for this lack of torture

Islamic

marx definitely didn't foresee the appeal communism would have to people who were still living as peasants in the 20th century

>>2561002
If it happened in an agricultural society, it wasn't real communism.

The workers saw what the cuckitalism has done to its population, hence they seize the means before the monopoly of corporatism.

SO YOU BE SAYIN

All their women decided to fuck the conquerors and be part of a huge conquistador harems instead of reproducing with their males. Pure Aztecs don't exist

There's aztecs alive today, language and all.

Here is a pretty good link from Jordan B. Peterson about depth psychology. Very interesting stuff. Do you guys study much philosophy, epistemology, and logic?

Here is another series where Joseph Campbell describes the mythological structure and mans relationship with myth.

Jordan B Peterson has been catching a lot of flack from SJWs regarding his unwavering stance on using the appropriate pronouns mandated by Canadian government to refer to trans-gendered individuals. Here is a link of him showing the patience of a god. Kind of difficult to watch but you get the idea of what he is dealing with.

Pissed off the Senate

Martin Luther was an autist with no real understanding that actions have also consequences, leading to some nobles using his autism to chimp out against their fellow man.

>>2560248
Martin Luther did nothing wrong

First the neolithic people then the beaker folk (they brought beakers) then Celts who got invaded by the Anglo Saxon who forced them into shitty Ireland, Cornwall, Wales, and the isle of Man. Then Danes (scandavians) invaded for for the next while, and also the Romans were there up until 410 annum dominos pizza. Then 1066 William the conqueror btfo two Anglo dudes who wanted to be king and was king for a bit while also being Duke of Normandy. Then some other stuff, and now Jezza. You're welcome and read a book

>>2560177
God exists, he is a Saxon by nature.

>>2560177
>the Norman conquest

You can say French, you know
No need to specify the region

The people were already turning against him

>>2560175
One big huge victory and then signing a peace that will let him reign. The coalition was never going to agree to this though.

>>2560223
Not really, dude took back the whole country without firing a shot due to how popular he was
