ITT: Ancestors you aren't proud of.
>tfw descended from Thomas Clarke, chief irish terrorist
There's nothing inherently wrong with terrorism m8
>>2345668
He fought and died for the freedom of his people and his country, and later his friends managed to free Ireland, how is it something not to be proud of ?
Also
>terrorist
Mean everything and nothing. Was george Washington a terrorist because he was a rebel who fought a regular army ?
>>2345699
>t.Taig
One a more serious note, the British did nothing wrong in Ireland, the Unionists were the ones who restarted the troubles and the IRA were fools for acting the way they did.
What conspiracy theories have been proven to be true over time /his/?
Why is (((planned obsolescence))) not against the law?
>>2345656
Why would planned obsolescence be against the law?
But on the other, totally unrelated point you raise, have any conspiracy theories been proven true? I'd be curious about that one. I mean, you have lots of situations where the consensus opinion was overturned in favor of a radical position (evolution, WMDs in Iraq, and of olook the sun does not go around the Earth after all!) But there's no proof of any conspiracy ebing involved -- people being wrong =/= a conspiracy.
>>2345696
Because controlling the market and making shitty quality items that break so you need to buy more is reprehensible
Also MKULTRA was a proven conspiracy theory
>>2345656
MKUltra, Watergate, and COINTELPRO were pretty serious shit.

I´m not into Humanities, can someone briefly explain Stirner´s philosophy, and how it relates to ´spooks´ ?
You have to 10 seconds to justify the benefits of the examined life to an average person
If the consequences of an unexamined post are post's such as >>2345590
Then surely the consequences of an unexamined life would be a life such as OP's.
QED.
>>2345590
The examined life is just a phrase for self reflection. If someone doesn't inherently value the act of reevaluating their life, then there isn't much you'd be able to say to convince them otherwise.
>>2345590
literally nothing. Stupid shit like this is what happens when humans have NOTHING going on in their lives, they turn into sopping wet boobs.
We need struggle and suffering in order to be truly fulfilled individuals oddly enough and running away from all suffering is suicide.
Why is he rated so highly?
>>2345567
Because Rommel is the desert fox because he defeated the english army in egypt
>>2345813
No, he was defeated in egypt, he did beat them in Libya though,and kicked the US army about at Kesserine pass
Probably because of how humanly he treated POWs and the like. Apparently he was just a generally good person who could outsmart most English and American commanders who didn't do any more than give their men general orders and not really do any leading, unlike Rommel who was constantly at the front directing.

>Help, the simplest of all bible verses is beyond my comprehension.
Maybe if you bothered to read past the point
>For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end. But they said: Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.

He was telling his disciples to prepare for the revolt against Rome.
Was it justified?

>>2345537
Yeah.
I'm usually sympathetic towards the plight of Eastern European German diaspora post-WWII, but pragmatically it was a good way of preventing another future chimpout. Also the Czechs are cool and unique so I think they should get clay.
Is it even possible to be a jain/jainist outside of India? Wont you freeze to death or die of something else
I like about their diet but it feels a little out of place they still consume milk and derivatives
Perhaps only local small farm production (given they live in a third world shithole)

How did Ottoman empire become modern turkey?
Are they just the same country in all but name?
They genocided all non-turks and became turkey
WWI happened.
> empire
> same country
>>2345148
So what's the difference then? Ottomans were turks + some non-turks, and then they were only turks, and then they proceeded to just call their country turkey because they were now only turks?
what do you guys think of the sonderweg theory? i.e. that Germany was destined for fascism/nazism because the conditions and history of Germany were unique
>>2345080
Historiography was a mistake
>>2345115
I agree but what would historians have to talk about if not each other?
>>2345080
>that Germany was destined for fascism/nazism because the conditions and history of Germany were unique
Not any more than the idea that Italy was destined for Fascism, Russia for Bolshevism, France for Liberalism ect.
You can create a movie based on upon something historical. Be it a movie about the life of someone, about a battle, a war or whatever.
The budget will be equal to that of all the big historical epics; Saving Private Ryan, Troy, Gladiator and so on.
What do you make, and why do you think it'd be cool?
>>2344726
I've always wanted there to be some adventure movie about some lone guy in the early 1800s who lives on the east coast who just decides go out west and explore and gets into a bunch of adventures, some of them silly, some of them more serious. There will be a lot of beatiful scenery and then after about 3 hours of movie, he dies somewhere in the desert way out west, to some popular piece of classical romantic European music from the same time period.

except his retarded obsession with immortality that ironically got him killed. he should have focused more on building a dynasty instead of futilely trying to prolong his own life.
So I'm reading about the origins of the Sadducees and the Pharisees.
Basically after the destruction of the first temple and the return from exile, Jews were allowed to have their religions again, but not their monarchy. The Sadducees tried to continue the liturgical and priestly traditions that had been there in the past, however, the Pharisees presented themselves as "the party of the people" and were aggressively nationalist. They were the primary drivers of the conflict with the Romans and were against hellenisation. The Saducees on teh other hand supported hellenisation, and wanted to continue the priestly tradition whereas the Pharisees were obsessed with Mosaic law.
Much of what the Saducees wanted could be said to have continued on in the Christian movement. Whereas the Pharisees continued on as what we today known simply as "Jews", after writing the Talmud in which they attacked Christ and His mother Mary. Many elements of modern Zionism particularly its nationalist supremacist rhetoric and rejection of the liturgical traditions can be reflected in the Pharisees, and one could say the modern day conflict between Christianity and Zionism (along with its pawns such as the US military-industrial complex and western banking system) could be said to be a continuation of the struggle between the Sadducees and the Pharisees. Many people have said that the Pharisees drifted further and further away from the original religion of the Israelite tribes, some even going so far as to say they later reached a point akin to devil worship with their worship of the canaanite god Baal.
This is why its eternally false when people say "Jesus was a Jew". What Jesus would have been, and what "Jews" are now are two completely different things, almost different religions. Due to a monopoly of political power, the Pharisees became synonymous with the term "jew" in modern day usage wheras back then Jews would have been many different sects, not just Pharisees.
>>2344553
Christians are the inheritors of the Essenes.
>>2344553
No, but the Catholics are the modern day Pharisees. They have developed a lifestyle of going to church, confessing their sins, doing penance, and receiving absolution from human beings. They perform rites and rituals like cleansing baptisms and eating crackers and drinking juice, thinking it makes them more holy.
they are not modern day Sadducees because that group did not believe in an afterlife.
>>2344553
By any definition your crooked mind can come up with, Jesus is a Jew.
