Why alleged marriages went out of favour? People are biased to choose wrong partners, why not just let more competent people to lend them a helping hand in a such complicated and important matter?

What are some philosophies and ideas that pretty legit, but just a little bit too insane to be adopted? God being evil is one of them, it uses basically all the same excuses about free will, greater evil and hidden reason to solve the problem of good. Ideas like anti-natalism or non-existentialism is another kind of example. What insane or dark, yet logical system of views, that can be defended you know?

Consider the subtleness of the farm Brother; how its most dreaded creatures glide just behind the fence, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden beneath the loveliest tints of green. Consider also the devilish brilliance and beauty of many of its most remorseless tribes, as the dainty embellished shape of many species of sheep. Consider, once more, the universal cruelty of the farm; all whose creatures are as slaves, the weak only fit to be carried off to the dark place where no brother ever returns.
Consider all this Brother; and then turn to the brown, gentle, and most docile mud of our pen; consider them both, the farm and the mud; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself? For as this appalling expanse of field and farm surrounds the joyous muck, so in the soul of a pig there lies one insular store of oats, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half-known life. Oathoard keep thee! Push not off from that isle, thou canst ne'er return!

Oats are for the nag who toils pitifully in the field. Brothers, have you forgotten the great harvest, the rich bounty which rains on the forest floor just beyond the farmyard as easy as leaves before winter? You would renounce every oat to the last and starve a hundred summers on the village's petty forage just to roam freely such woods for a single day. This is our place, not the mud sty nor the wilderness's harsh call.

Hello /pol/, Power is a new online US politics game where you create a politician and run for a seat in one of the 50 states. We need more people to join the Republican Party and defeat the Democrats. If you are interested then create an account and join the Republican Party. Currently the Democrats have more people and have a majority in the senate so we need help to make the Republican Party the strongest party in the game. The democrats are passing marxist legislation and we can't stop them until we win more senate seats. I will post the link to the Republican Party discord and our whip will verify you.
Republican Party Disord Link:

The current states we need people in: NV,CO,SD,IA,IL,GA,PA,NJ,DE,VT,ME,CT

But you should read it if nothing than out of a sense of friendship. What a wonderful thing to have someone attempt to reach out to you intellectually, what good fortune.

If you have food and you withhold it from a starving person, this is considered immoral.
Withholding sex from a virgin is also immoral.

I could agree, if you where talking about sex for reproductive means. As we all know, women, in general, have no ability to self reflect. Or at very least women under 30. In my most personal of opinions, men and women deserve a single mate unto which they would have a family and have to deal with the rigors of life. Marriage should a life long bond. Divorce goes against my better instincts.
Modern women have constructed themselves a palace on the back of men. Men are expected to be polite towards women, unless you are black, or stupid.
>>
>>2205918
The starving person will die.
The virgin might die as a direct consequence of being denied sex. But his death will be his own choice, as is the lack of sex. The fact that you can't acquire sex means something is wrong with you, not society.

Don't worry, my NEET friend.
This problem shall be solved once female robots are spread all over.
When did they start?
Did the romans use declarations of war against the barbarians tribes?
When was the first declaration of war in history?
What about in China, India or pre-colombian America, did people declare war before invading neighbors?
And the mongols, were they just taking the stuff they wanted or did they wage clear, declared wars?

That wasn't much a thing. They were so effective by operating like a machine, not doing this "a few Marines take on a Panzer division and win" Hollywood stuff. You've got some specific guys, like Skorzeny, but for the most part, the German army's success can be attributed to technology and organization. They were decades ahead of the Red Army, for the first few years. Twenty other countries had willingly allied with them, and France still thought it was WWI.
