I hate them all. The all say pretty much the same things (very limited government, some form of capitalism, obsession with freedom and liberty), and what they have to say about it is usually complete shit.

The natives were here for 40,000 years and the ones in Tasmania (the island at the bottom) didn't discover fire.
>>2201749
> didnt discover fire
I dont think it would be possible for them to survive without fire. I highly doubt that
Is current society getting infantilized? Did societies of the past experiment periods when their people would become manchildren? Or its just that society is changing towards a new attitude?
I see more people in their 20s and their 30s doing things like playing vidya, watching anime, and complaining about superflous things. This, along with more things, is what I refer to as infantilizing.

It's the whole Dogma about Hard times create hard men, hard men create good times, good times create soft men, soft men create hard times.
I think it's closer to everyone has become rich.
We don't notice because there aren't medieval peasants to compare ourselves to.
I mean, there are, but most of them are different color and far away from us.
I'm too good for society and the roasties that inhabit it
get a job? pay taxes? raise a family?
hah fat chance
How was history in high School for you?
Was it intresting and fun.
Was i filled with normies and shitty teachers?
>>2201201
>Shitty teachers
>Shitty subjects
>Shitty classrooms
The only topic we 'studied' that interested me was Cromwell in Ireland. Everything else was woeful.
We had a few good teachers, especially in year six of primary school, but by secondary school they had to water it down so much that it could barely be considered history. We had several good high school history teachers who just could not handle the stupid bullshit of their classes. I know people who are studying the Cold War and couldn't point to Russia on a Map. There are people who are about to head out into the world literally not knowing where Wales is.
My highschool history teacher was an excellent teacher and got me interested in history but he was sort of a strange person (usually the best teachers).
He tried to be very unbiased which I appreciated and would always let us ask as many questions as we wanted.

What was his endgame, /his/?
Ruling over the whole world or just to reach the end of it?
He probably wanted to rule the entire world, too bad he couldn't beat Indian Elephants
>>2200429
Alexander was 23 years old when he conquered Persia.
Most 23 year olds don't have an end goal besides "fuck bitches make money". They just assume that they'll be young forever until life bites them hard enough in the ass
When Alexander found out that this was the case, he drank himself to death.
>>2200441
I've read that even if he could beat Indians, the Chinese would have basically BTFO him due to their more advanced technology (crossbows) and differents tactics. Not sure if I 100% agree with this
>>2199280
Akhenaten was an idiot
>>2199280
He had Tut as a son, that's pretty wrong.
Deep in your heart you know it's true.
Is Islam a far-right religion?
It's far left, SJW always side with muslims.
>>2198844
Religions are their own ideologies, neither right nor left or even necessarily political or economic minded.
Islamic socialism is a thing, so it can influence both sides.
>>2198856

Is beauty proof of God?
>>2196595
No.
I'm a christian, but you could easily write that off as a misguided biological response to encourage certain actions.
How is this about history?
Also, no
In any world populated by intelligent creatures, these creatures would find some things more intriguing or appealing than other things

chaos is beautifull
Where does the conceptualization of the Holy Trinity come from? Take this quote for instance:
"27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and My Father are one."
It is meant metaphorically, far as I can tell. There is no literal connection there that outright states "Jesus is God incarnate". It says he's a shepherd, like unto God, nothing else.
This is, far as I know, the basis of the claim that Jesus is actually God. But I confess that I haven't studied the scriptures rigorously, and I would like to pass this idea around. Also, where does the Holy Ghost thing originate from?
The book of John. It all starts there.
>>2194120
>Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
>>2194120
Faith without tradition, is like soup without water. The theological formations of the Trinity lie in oral form, ancient text and a myriad of other sources. Why don't you look some of them up?
What are the worst examples of pseudohistory you've encountered?
>>2193485
1. Ancient North Africans were Black.
2. People accusing the RCC of being anti-science
3.Anything "black legend or Columbus sought to prove the earth was round" tier
4."Dark ages"
5.Jews pretending to be descended from ancient Israelites when at best they had 4 Judean male ancestors who had children with 4 Italian female proselytes many centuries ago.
6. Christianity comes from Judaism.

Why do chinks have very minimal military history and tradition unlike europeans?
china never invaded:
>India
>japan
>south east asia.
Is their lack of military tradition and history proof they are inferior cucks who only fought when they had to defend?
>>2186037
they didn't need to
last two were tributary states for most of their history
as for the first

>>2186042
>small scale war in the 60s with less than 5000 deaths on both sides combined
Even Alexander killed more poo in loos 2300 years ago. You chinks were on the verge of an ancient extermination if it not were for alexander's early death.
>>2186065
Its weird that you are scolding china for NOT sending their people into a meatgrinder
getting your fucking job done with only over 700 dead is quite the achievement in our modern world.

There's only positives as far as the eye can be seen.
>>2205742
Worth it if only to see what kind of world would come out of the changes.
>>2205742
Well. The Directory exists, then fails quickly without military legitimacy and is destroyed by the Coalition, returning France to a Monarchy, though likely a much more constitutional one, either ruled by Louis' son or the Exiled Comte D'Artois
how do I get into classical painting? any book recs for a good overview of the subject? what is the optimal way to view classical art? should i seek out museum displays? is there a certain website/database people use for finding high quality copies of classical painting?
You mean Neo-Classical?
There are still a lot of old school academies around. Supposedly.
>>2205515
no, probably I don't mean classical at all. I'm not trying to specify an era or movement, I mean the canonical paintings of western civilization
I think the renaissance interests me the most. what term should I be using if not classical painting?
