What's the deal with modern PTSD? Has it always existed? Has the cuckification of modern society played a role?
It seems like most soldiers until Vietnam dealt with war fairly well. They hardly talked about it, came back and seemed to live somewhat normal lives, raised families etc.
So is PTSD a real "disorder" or is it just a rebrand of what every soldier who sees combat goes thru?
Lets also remember were talking front-line combat vets, not in-the-rear-with-the-gear types which are the majority.
And another question, did the "tour of duty" system at all enhance the effects of this so called disorder?

>Camping in forests for a summer or 2 and shooting one or 2 times every month is the same as 4 uninterrupted years of constant industrial war
Nice meme, now fuck off.
Yes you fucking idiot. Nobody bothered to look into the psychology of war until recently. The reverence for quality of life is a fairly new idea.
Would Christianism still be relevant if the Romans never adopted and make it their state religion?
>>2369968
I tell you that thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it
Yes, it would be
>>2369968
Early Christians were resilient motherfuckers, so probably, but, of course, nowhere near the relevance it has now, or had. Though, the best thing about that alternate timeline would have been no Islam.
Not to the same degree, but it'd likely have stuck around. Much like the Jews, they seemed strangely hard to quash.
Unlike the Jews though, a lot of them had a literal deathwish.

Was Nero a neckbeard?
>>2366791
Didn't he got bunch of backlash cuz he was tryin to grow a beard?
>>2366796
I dunno but if he looked anything like that bust he was a prototypical brony
Yes.
>In his book The Lives of the Twelve Caesars, Suetonius describes Nero as "about the average height, his body marked with spots and malodorous, his hair light blonde, his features regular rather than attractive, his eyes blue and somewhat weak, his neck over thick, his belly prominent, and his legs very slender."

Where I can find some good sources on history of Freemasonry and what is it about? Especially the esoteric side.
Please, I would like bullshit-free and conspiracy-free stuff.
Recently I've watched Bergman's interpretation of The Magic Flute to the cinema and it got me quite interested.
>>2365749
York Mysteries Revealed for the full history. For the esoteric side you might want to look at books by JSM Ward (even though he was a Hinduboo), maybe some Henry Clausen works, and George Oliver's History of Initiation.
They literally sacrifice people man....Just go off that It's not a joke or a 'theory' these guys are based on a Luciferian cult pretending not to be Luciferian that kills people ritualistically (albeit not on lower levels as they are kept ignorant) Stay FAR AWAY from them. God Bless...
How involved were they in the creation of America and the French Revolution?
>There is no mention of Abraham, the father of Judaism (~1800 BC) in any Jewish text until ~600 BC
really makes you think, huh?
The father of Judaism is probably some medieval rabbi.
>>2364407
Moses is the founder of Judaism, Abraham is a myth.
>>2364407
Scholars treat the Old Testament/Talmud for what it is, a nationalistic epic designed to form the bedrock of a Jewish national mythology. In that respect it succeeded.

Dictators are many things, but they're hardly incompetent. Even the leftist G.B. Shaw respected Mussolini because he just got shit done, unlike democratic politicians.

>people always act in their self-interest
What about when they choose to act in ways that are disadvantageous or detrimental to themselves? Screw altruistic acts, even even arguably selfish acts don't always appear to align with self-interest. What about when people choose to go against their doctor's advice, or procrastinate, or isolate themselves do to their behavior, or anything that will harm them? How is that acting in one's self-interest?
because it feels good in the short term
>>2369180
Acting purely in self interest is something only women and children do and this is why everything turns to shit when those two groups have any power. If you can't sacrifice your personal well veing for the societal good at large you're pretty much trash.

Why were the leaders of the 1919 communist "spartacist" uprising in Germany all Jewish?
>>2367151
because the jews tried to steal a country under a guise of being a populist revolution
they managed to do it in USSR
>>2367151
Because they had read story Joseph of Egypt, Jewish ruler of Egypt, the first communist ever
A moment that espoused an end to religion and equality between races is popular among a group of people who were excluded and discriminated along religious and racial lines.
What a shock.

Would be fun if he actually united them insted of making them pretend that they like each other, and it doesnt work if they actually genocided eachother as soon as they got the chance
