Amen.

Why can't the universe be the uncaused cause?
And even if it isn't, we have no idea what the uncaused cause could possibly be so there's not much use in worrying about it

>>2281032
Turtles all the way down

Interbreeding with Roman and Moorish negro slaves?

>>2279635
Slave trade and womens BBC fetish.

>>2279635
Slavery. Jews and s.euros would import blacks from sub Saharan to use as house slaves and flaunt there wealth. Italians are a horny lot and a good amount of them probably vecked their female black slaves.

>Materialism is a form of philosophical monism which holds that matter is the fundamental substance in nature, and that all phenomena, including mental phenomena and consciousness, are results of material interactions.

What exactly does this mean? I know it's a line associated with existentialism, but I never was able to figure it out.

Does it mean the actions taken during the existence of something dictates its essence?

also trips

I mean now!

shit!

But fascism basically is modernistic feudalism.

>>2277646
No thats communism

>>2277646

Europe


The Christianity we see today is European, regardless of its origins in the Middle East

we made it a powerhouse, culturally, aesthetically etc.

>>2277457
St Peters Basilica is honestly one of the most awe inspiring pieces of architecture I've ever seen. I'm inclined to say Christianity was worth it for the creation of that alone.

>>2277454
It's a good meme.

The early Church took it into a lot of directions that may not be specified by Christ himself and was pretty incohesive at times, but many early proponents relied on the fear tactic of the threat of hell, the persuasive suggestion of a better life and even better afterlife, and offering vague answers to why people suffer or succeed. Most religions do some of those, but the most important detail is simply that it encourages people to spread it to anyone they can; most religions are 100% ethnic, or in some way exclusive, there's no point in converting anyone unless they were to live where that religion is practice. Often these ethnic or exclusive religions include the idea that that group has a special relation to their god(s) that makes being one of them better than being anyone else, so many even explicitly don't want converts from inferior outsiders.

After a point it became like an ethnic religion in addition to an ideological one, which made it very powerful. In early Christian Europe religion became very political, rulers converting themselves and their nations to Christianity is mostly influenced by the politics of that region. And the power the Church acquired because of that gave certain individuals a lot of authority which made them very capable of controlling people for their cause. Before various "thresholds" of their exponential growth from all of those circumstances it might have been up to chance, but ultimately Christianity (and all successful religions and ideologies) is popular simply because out of how much of a variety of ideas came about in all of human history some were destined be very persuasive (or manipulative) and as a result those become a part of human culture on a larger scale than other ideas.

>North Korea faced all these problems, and even worse with widespread famine in the 1990s, and it's still standing.
They are in the 1950's in technology and like 90% of their budget goes towards nuclear weapons.

To answer your question, the US outspent the USSR. They were at their limit, and we could still throw money at out military. That's why spending increased in the 80's, as Reagan increased "defense" spending.

I have no idea desu. The answers don't seem to make much sense.

They spent to much on the arms race and due to its communist nature couldn't balance production/food/consumer goods with the defense budget and thus rather than facing internal revolt that comes with hunger they simply an hero'd.

But that's really just the normie understanding of history.

It seems almost too easy to bait them in to financial trouble.

I don't have the understanding of this that I do with napoleon-1945

>the entire Soviet intelligentsia
The intelligentsia were the ones who welcomed glasnost because it meant peeling back the overt censorship of the soviet regime.

It's also important to consider that huge chunks of the USSR wanted to be politically independent and the only way to keep them in line was direct military confrontation. When Poland decided it was going to be free and Gorbachev didn't bring down the hammer to stop them it set off a chain reaction to the rest of the soviet republics that they could follow suit.

Gorbachev was unwilling to hold the Union together at all costs and he probably made the right decision in the end.

Good thread

Just when I thought this board couldn't get more pseud.

>>2274000
It's 100% true, otherwise i want arguments why I'm wrong

Just sounds like a load of LARPing for /pol/acks and Sabaton fans

>>2271998
Yea that's what I thought too at first but i see people break their noses and fingers all the time, so it's bit unlike LARPing

>>2271944
Pretty fucking based.

Physical swordfighting outside with other people is less autistic than swordfighting alone in your room or arguing about history and shit online.

>expecting two philosophers to set aside their axiomatic presuppositions for anything.
Sam Harris is a fag anyway. "Jordan....Jordan...please agree with me WHY AREN'T YOU AGREEING WITH ME REEEEEE."
It wasn't much of a debate. Peterson isn't a great orator unfortunately.

The United States and Western Europe, 1945-1979

Volcker/Thatcher/Reagan ruined it.

That was the last year mankind had regular supersonic civilian flights.
