>tfw 5/67ths cherokee and descended from charlemagne himself

Sounds good.

Hedonism?

Because the Balkan nations have been fighting fiercely for their freedom for a long time, especially in the 30 years before WW1.
They were ready to fight tooth and claw, especially the Serbs because they were invaded by Austria.
And to understand why, you'd have to really dig into 50 years of relations between Serbia and Austria(Hungary).
Serbia operated as an Austrian proxy from 1878 to 1903, and when Austria annexed Bosnia in 1908 there was an overwhelming feeling that they were going to be next on the chopping block.
Now imagine those fears becoming reality in 1914

>>2315839
Because Belgium is a physical meme and a non-country and their greatest achievement ever was chaining a bunch of niggers in the Congo. Serbs on the other hand are a bloodthirsty savage warrior race that spent the previous couple centuries fighting and didn't have time for flamboyant sodomy and eating shitty chocolates like the Belgians.

>>2315881
>they were ready
Is the only thing that makes sense from your bullocks about fighting for freedom. Serbia wouldve been gutterstomped had they shared a direct border with Germany and not that schizophrenic shithole of a memetic empire that wasnt even able to go toe to toe with the Italians...

>>2315782
The idea that a statement is only valid when backed by pure logic is self refuting.

All knowlege only makes sense in context

also you quoted two political hacks rather than say a mainstream historian

>>2315782
>ignoring chomsky's linguistics stuff

Just like I'm going to ignore your opinion?

>>2315802
Linguistics is STEM

prod deep enough and you'll learn everyone is basically a fascist deep down

I think most people realize this, the only people who refuse to accept it are delusional leftists unable to cope with the fact the ideology they've been systematically conditioned to view as the enemy is in reality their natural ally.

I thought it originated in rome

Catholicism and Lutheranism is hedonism, good art, good food, enjoying life. Calvinism meanwhile is concentrated autism worshipping complete austerity and workoholic mentality with no fun allowed.

>>2315726
Which is why so many of them are mindless capitalists and also why so many Protestant countries have the most irreligious populations in the world right? Oh wait...

>>2315708
Those Koreans are confused, as the image of Jesus with rays coming out of his heart is Roman Catholic.

I understand what anarcho-primitivists are going for, but they are tragically short sighted. Human suffering isn't caused by an increasingly complex society where our jobs are too abstracted from survival to be enjoyable. Suffering is inherent to our nature. To eliminate suffering we must eliminate sentience, not merely industrial society.

>To eliminate suffering we must eliminate sentience

Who else /anarchosuicide/ here?

Reading Ted's manifesto had a profound impact on me. I wouldn't call myself an anarcho-primitivist, but his perspective still shakes me even years later.

Severe crimes against people were being committed before Russia interceded. There was much innocent bloodshed, but what was going on without Russian intervention was terrible. Also, Oil Diamonds Cash Money 420

Putin personally led hit squads into the streets of Chechnya to execute women and children

I recommend becoming an existentialist, a social capitalist, and a rule based utilitarian.

Or at least those are the conclusions I found most satisfying when I got through babbies first existential crisis.

>>2315315
Why?

>>2315322
Well, existentialism holds that the meaning of life is something unique to each individual, which makes sense to me. I think that humans are the 1.0 version of sentience, so everyone is going to be looking for a way to function cognitively with the knowledge of mortality that evolution hasn't prepared us to deal with very well.

Religion fills this void for a lot of people, but it doesn't always fill it in the same way, so the idea of a universal "meaning" for life seems completely unreasonable.

You must find your own meaning.

As for social capitalism, there are certain investments only the state can make profitably, but that benefit society as a whole.

For example, if the state gives out condoms, people are more likely to wait to have kids, and the average child born will be born in a better prepared household, and general standard of living will go up because the average citizen had a better childhood.

If the state invests in health, education, and poverty eradication, it will end up with a healthy, well educated, and well integrated populace, that pays more taxes.

It's a shame that prohibition was doomed to failure. But you can't legislate away an entrenched drinking culture.

Some things just never change.

>How "religious" do I have to be? Is not being christian but believing in a superior force is enough?
Freemason is a spiritual system itself, with its own conceptions of God, ect.

>>2314646
Same.
My mother once mention that my great-grandfather being one might help me get in, is that true?

>>2314646
You have to be literally anything that isn't an atheist and you'll get in. You'll just be around old people who talk about history and their personal nostalgia, you're not going to go up the ranks and take control of George Soros or anything like that.

>>2314443
Pretty cool but I'm an esoteric Roman Catholic myself.

There are many ways that seem right to a man, but they all end at death.

No eastern mysticism will help you in the afterlife.

It's basically just meditating for pain management and minimizing expectations.

brits tend to be a little deluded for some reason

other than that they're ok

>Does success truly breed jealousy?

It does.

We are close to the point technologically where many of the things described in the book of revelations could become a reality.

what a dumb fucking question

what do you mean by 'medieval europe'

fucking when

uhh it probably wasn't strong when half of it was owned by angevins

uhh it probably was when they kicked the english out in the mid 1400s

fucking idiot

>>2314015
You could have worded this far more politely and far less autistically.

>>2314044

you could have asked a question that wasn't fucking dumb
