So I want to learn about political philosophy. Is The Prince by Machiavelli a good place to begin? What should I read next?

Read Plato's Republic first. Or more precisely its wiki article and summaries. You can also read The Prince without reading Republic first, but political philosophers later on assumed that you have read the two (and sometimes Aquinas).

We all know about those who treat the Rastafari movement as nothing more than a dank meme, but what exactly is the Rastafari movement? Is it an Afrocentric interpretation of Christianity? Is it Haile Selassie's foreign cult of personality? Or is it something else entirely?

>>2348629
Probably a combination of the two, and it's fucking retarded.
>>
>>2348629
Selassie himself denied being the reborn saviour, thus he is not at fault for the cult. He was just seen as fulfillment of Garvey's "prophecy". I view it as a black emancipation movement based on christianity with added african elements like the Kebra Negast. Rastafarianism is a very small religion anyway with ~1% of the Jamaican population as a following.

PUTOS MOROS Y SUS DELIRIOS. LOS CASTELLANOS LLEVAMOS HABITANDO ESTÁS FERMOSAS TIERRAS DESDE SU CREACIÓN.Los protocastellanos como los CANTABROS y los NUMANTINOS humillaron al mismísimo imperio Romano una y otra vez hasta que nos ofrecieron un pacto en el que nos dejerían dominar su imperio.Así que un proto castellano al que puedes conocer por el nombre de TRAJANO hizo que el imperio volviera a ser grandioso de nuevo.Después los ROMANOS rompieron sus votos de obediencia y declaramos nuestra INDEPENDENCIA.En estos convulsos periodos los Visigodos conquistaron a los Romanos del sur de la península y ocuparon nuestra ciudad ancestral de TOLEDO.Después los GERMANOS dejaron entrar a los MOROS y fueron derrotados pero los CASTELLANOS nos aliamos con los Asturianos y derrotamos al moro en la más gloriosa de las batallas.La batalla de COVADONGA.Después Don Fernán Gonzalez caballero CASTELLANO declaro nuestra independencia de nuevo y derroto al moro en Simancas.Un poco más tarde DON SANCHO II intentó unificar todos los reinos CRISTIANOS bajo el estandarte CASTELLANO y tras derrotar simultaneamente a ARAGONESES,NAVARROS,LEONESES Y GALLEGOS casi lo consigue pero fue traicionado por un noble Leonés que le clavó una lanza por la espalda.Don Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar al presenciar esa injusticia fue a BURGOS donde estaba el rey de León y le humillo en frente de las cortes por lo que fue exiliado.EN su exilio conquistó Valencia de las garras de los moros como buen caballero CASTELLANO.
Después DON ALFONSO VIII reconquistó nuestra capital ancestral,TOLEDO y derrotó al MORO en las Navas de Tolosa. Su hijo FERNANDO III EL REY SANTO Y CRUZADO conquistó y subyugo a todos los moros de esta nuestra península y derrotó y humillo a los hijos de MIL Y UNA PUTA de los LEONESES.Más tarde DON PEDRO y su guardia real marcharon contra los Aragoneses que habían declarado una guerra en medio de una guerra civil y los humilló un centenar de veces.

Y por último DOÑA ISABEL DE TRASTAMARA humilló a los vasallos GRANADINOS en rebeldía,humilló a los ARAGONESES,A LOS PORTUGUESES Y A LOS FRANCESES y basicamente conquistó el MUNDO bajo la vigía de nuestro ALMIRANTE DON CRISTOBAL COLÓN nacido en GENOVA nuestro mayor y más leal aliado. Más tarde todos los países de EUROPA tenían recelo de nuestra GLORIA Y GRANDEZA e intentaron dividirnos y atacarnos sin motivo alguno pero los valientes TERCIOS CASTELLANOS los humillaron MIL Y UNA veces hasta que los HIJOS DE PUTA DE LOS CATALANES,PORTUGUESES Y ANDALCES se revelaron y abrieron 4 frentes más.Pero Castilla no olvida y pronto esos TRAIDORES sufriran nuestra FURIA.

Let's say you have the chance to travel back in time to the Roman Republic, but before the trip you'll have 4 years to learn about stuff that could be useful so you can change the course of history.

What would you do? Would you try and bring some semblance of modern medicine? Coal mining and steam engines? Oceanworthy ships? Would you study history and military tactics so you could be a great conqueror and politician? Go wild.

Study up on automatic weapons and teach using and creating them to the romans

I would perfectly emulate Julius Caesar's actions to have his glory. But with firearms, an airforce and iron warships.
>>
>>2348384
The smart thing is to learn about soil revitalization, how to reverse or prevent desertification, and teaching them about modern crop rotation. And then about steam engines, and the printing press, along with vaccines and simple modern medicine. With a solid economic base behind it, with no reason to become less useful as time goes on with effective management, the Empire may remain for centuries longer, perhaps even until modern times.

In terms of military innovations, the Radio is perhaps among the most useful, long distance communication would have made the maintenance of a centralized republic much easier. The combustion engine may be needed, but I'd prefer just to teach them about all the horse related equipment they didn't yet have, along with the compound bow and the importance of horse archers.

I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I introduced automatic weaponry, guns generally, or environmentally damaging technology beyond what is absolutely necessary. Renewable energy would be far superior. If the Romans, using these innovations, could establish a dominant hyperpower, the world could become more peaceful, and hopefully the automatic weapon would never be invented. If I could have it my way, the brutality of the modern age would never have to come about, not the senseless deaths of millions in world wars, nor to totalitarianism of the 20th century.

Nothing could be better than a utopian society built on Roman virtue.

I've always found this a fascinating area of law

this week in Australia the Australian government made on of the first rulings revoking the citizenship of someone
the guy was a pretty serious terrorist

but for me this sets off so many alarm bells

can a country revoke a citizenship in the first place, does a country actually have that right?
do countries "grant" citizenship to native born peoples, or is it something inate.
most countries work on the principle of citizenship by land, some by descent; but this measure seems to violate both
does/should citizenship superseded governments, because a government is relatively temporary

most governments don't have the right to simply waver laws in individual cases as it violates the judicial-administrative separation
could the revocation of citizenship be used in the future to deny an individual protection of the law?

is this not a truly great risk to take because of how it's a slippery slope?
if citizenship can be revoked by parliment, does this not put the practice at great risk of reactionary legislation?
today it is a terrorist, tomorrow a pedophile, next week a drug baron, next month a murderer etc
is it really a power we want our government to have at all?

how do we fill the hole it makes in the international diplomatic norms
does this mean a country could produce terrorists wantonly, then avoid responsibility by claiming the terrorists aren't citizens
could it lead to countries producing stateless people en-masse; like gypsies in france
multitudes were deported, but they were not citizens, if citizenship can be stripped won't there be a motivation to dump hated peoples

Countries/governments don't have rights; people do
>>
>>2348367
and if I could draw some kind of sensible thought from you, WHY does a country have that right?
if our governments are representative of the people, shouldn't it be a fundamental contradiction of the state excluded it's own citizens

it's a similar argument to the state taking voting rights away from prisoners, and this leading to an tyrannical/undemocratic institution

Hi.
I was born "supposedly " "jewish" , although again I don't believe in judaism, I am an atheist and do not see myself as "jewish".
I see myself as an atheist.

But anyway ,hitler and himmler and geobles and all the rest of the nazis would have tried to kill me, because being "jewish" I am not "aryan" , I am not blonde and blue eyed, and I do not have a perfectly symmetrical straight nose.

And they wouldn't want me to mix with a german woman right?.
Because than the child wouldn't be "aryan" with a blue eyes and blonde hair and perfectly symmetrical straighr nose.

No, because last time I checked ,the japanese, whom they were in alliance with are surely , unlike me,all blondes with blue eyes and a perfectly symmetrical straight nose.
And if a japanese guy were to mix with a german woman, the child will surely be 100% aryan , with a perfectly symmetrical straight nose , and blue eyes and blonde hair.

And surely if all germans were to mix with all Japanese , unllike mixing with the jews, will surely keep everyone in germany, blonde , blue eyed with a perfectly symmetrical straight, seeing that unlike the "unaryan" jews, every single japanese person is blonde, blue eyed with a perfectly symmetrical straight nose.

ITT: We post historical facts and stories which have fascinated us lately. Anything JUICY goes.

Ancient Chinese torture: "Dying Swine's Melancholy" (死猪愁)"
>Empress Lü Zhi then had Concubine Qi killed in an inhumane manner: she had Qi's limbs chopped off, eyes gouged out, ears sliced off, forced her to drink a potion that made her mute, and thrown into a latrine. She called Qi a "human swine" (人彘). Several days later, Emperor Hui was taken to view the "human swine" and was shocked to learn that it was Concubine Qi. He cried loudly and became ill for a long time. He requested to see his mother and said, "This is something done not by a human".

African Queens Trans Male-To-Female Harem:
>According to the Marquis de Sade’s Philosophy in the Boudoir, Nzinga was a woman who "immolated her lovers." De Sade's reference for this comes from History of Zangua, Queen of Angola. It claims that after becoming queen, she obtained a large, 60+, all male harem at her disposal. These men wore women's clothing and were known as chibados.
>Chibados are third-gender men who lived most often as women. Portuguese priests and Jesuits described how chibados lived as women and were able to marry other men with no social sanctions. Instead, "such marriages were honored and even prized."[4] Chibados made up a separate caste and elders referred to themselves as "Grandmother."

It comes out often on /his/, some people are really convinced France was always a jerk.

As a French, I obviously see Germany and England as regular assholes as they kept wrecking France. So give me the other side of the story, tell me about what did Frenchs bad in history

I see the French in a similar vein to Russians. They're not evil in themselves, but they're weak enough to allow evil people who are not of their own ethnic stock to take them over from within.

Thankfully France never got hurt as badly as the Russians did, but it might just be the case that it hasn't had time to really get started yet. Russia fell in 1917, but the mass carnage only really began in the late 20s to early 30s. France fell in 1968 and only now is the slaughter beginning.

France is based.

England and Germany are also based. There are no bad guys in history.
