Is there any real justification for Christians tolerating banking and finance, at least as it's come to be practiced?

Lending at interest is condemned in both the Old and New Testaments, and most of the Doctors of the Church have said that it's a grave sin. Aquinas even calls it a mortal sin.

If you except that economics is a science you could argue that its findings are beyond the realm of faith.

But thats going on a limb
>>
>>2436702
For me, "usury" then *did* mean interest because the wealth that they were using was almost always tied to actual, physical things that were and could be valued. Interest in that situation, with a smaller "money" supply and a fundamentally different money supply than our modern fiat currencies, equated to financially creating something from nothing with no effort by the usurer.

In the modern age with our style of economics and our kind of money supply, usury is much more akin to predatory lending or any other kind of financial chicanery to defraud people. Shorting a stock and all the bullshit that derivatives can get you into aren't explicitly referenced as financial sin in the Bible, however in the scope of what they are able to do to people they absolutely qualify as being capable of financial sin, usury. Just lending at interest when what is lent is a fiat currency doesn't come close, by my lights.

I've been deeply fascinated with Stoicism as a philosophic school for awhile now. Lately, I've also spent some time reading into the Hindu concept of Dharma (one's social duty) as well as the Seven Tenets of Japanese Bushido.

Anyone have any other sources or schools of thought worth looking into that involve honor, duty, loyalty to one's nation etc?

Did France and England have any hope of maintaining their overseas African colonies past the 60's? Maybe even into the 21st Century?

no, Britain was almost nuked over the whole Suez canal thing and the US was ready to clean their hands of them Not to mention that the soviets were willing to arm just about anyone. The political climate simply did not allow for colonies.
>>
Some of them, yes. But there would be no point. The constant need to fight for then meant they were a net drain on the home country more than anything else. A perfect example would be French Algeria, where the French technically won a military victory but later abandoned it anyway because they figured there'd just be another costly revolt in a few years.
>>
>>2435980
>this
the Suez Crisis was really the final nail in the coffin of Britain and France as global powers, having little direct authority when not backed up the US.

Also maintaining colonies became more and more expensive as nationalism was on the rise. to put it short, it was easy to put down African/Asian natives with spears/15th century muskets, once revolutionary armies started forming like the Viet Minh and the Algerian FLN, keeping those colonies was costing them more money in military expense than the revenue they got from them.

I am reading some parts of the William Byrd II diaries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Byrd_II
http://www.indiana.edu/~kdhist/H105-documents-web/week05/Byrd1709.html

In one of his extracts he says:

January 7, 1710. I rose at 7 o’clock and read a chapter in Hebrew and some Greek in Cassius. I said my prayers and ate milk for breakfast. I danced my dance. "I gave a vomit to my negro children to prevent the distemper". I settled some accounts and prepared some accounts to send to England. I ate roast pork for dinner. In the afternoon I played at cards with my wife. Then I took a walk about the plantation to see what the people were doing. In the evening I gave the rest of the servants a vomit to prevent the distemper which is come as far as G-l-s Ordinary. I read some Latin in Terence with which I was very much pleased. I said my prayers and had good health, good thoughts, and good humor, thanks be to God Almighty.

What does he mean by "i gave a vomit to my negro children"? Is it literally?

November 13, 1710. I rose at 7 o’clock and said a short prayer. Then I took a little walk about the plantation. I ate toast and cider for breakfast. Colonel Digges sent for a white negro for us to see who except the color was featured like other negroes. She told us that in her country, which is called Aboh near Calabar, there were many whites as well as blacks. We played at dice till about 12 o’clock and then we [went] to Williamsburg, but I was so dusted with dirt that I was forced to change my clothes. Yesterday Mr. Ingles had a child burnt to death by fire taking hold of its clothes. We went to the capitol and stayed there about two hours and then I went and dined with the Governor where I ate roast mutton. I had a letter from home which told me all was well except a negro woman who ran away and was found dead. I said my prayers and had good health, good thoughts, and good humor, thank God Almighty.

Also wtf is a white negro?
A mullato?

Let's poke holes in common ideas about eras and events that have been romanticized or misconstrued to fit a narrative:

>Rome fell for a multitude of reasons. No, it wasn't just immigration, Christianity, or homosex.
>Pirates are just glorified criminals on a boat.
>Most leaders in history have done some less-than-appealing shit sometime in their political career. Including the ones you like.

>>Rome fell for a multitude of reasons. No, it wasn't just immigration, Christianity, or homosex.

I mean you can blame it on a bunch of reasons, but I think there are two or three big ones and the others are just used to create some huge list for some historian to jerk to it.

>Pirates are just glorified criminals on a boat.
Plunder is pretty appealing, but the nasty pirates you see were usually just Privateers and mercenaries hired by their home country to plunder other boats.

>Most leaders in history have done some less-than-appealing shit sometime in their political career. Including the ones you like.
Everyone does bad shit, but some people make up for it.

>Judeo-Christian, not Gayco-Rhomo
Stonewall was what, 47 years ago? And after perpetual gay propaganda since that time, still barely 2 or 3 percent of the population in the west are homosexual. It's difficult to believe there were any more than 2 or 3 percent gays in Roman times. It's probably nothing more than another slur or propaganda point the Christcucks slimed them with as they destroyed the progress of the imperium.

Comrades, the voices of the dead battalions
Of those who fell that Britain might be Great
Join in our song, for they still march in spirit with us
And urge us on to gain the fascist state!

We're of their blood, and spirit of their spirit,
Sprung from that soil for whose dear sake they bled
Against vested powers, Red Front, and massed ranks of reaction
We lead the fight for freedom and for bread!

The streets are still, the final struggle's ended;
Flushed with the fight we proudly hail the dawn!
See, over all the streets the fascist banners waving -
Triumphant standards of our race reborn!
