How many people really died in the Dresden firebombing, and was it justifiable? If Dresden had 600k inhabitants, and the city was turned ti rubble, shouldn't it be more than 25k dead?
I'm not trying to start a flamewar, I'm just trying to have a peaceful discussion.

>signing the social contract
Very funny anon.

To answer your question, basically they take the classic American love of the free market and of entrepreneurship and combine it with anarchism and get this novel hybrid that no one other than them likes. To put it another way, they're libertarians who realized that eliminating the state is the logical conclusion of their beliefs.

Where, academically, those ideas of white privilege and structural racism came from ? I'm from Europe, and have only started to hear people talk about this seriously recently. I really can't understand why some teachers would push these ideas since it basically creates more and more racial tensions.

Conflict breeds opportunities.
People working in racism related fields don't want racial tensions to go down, rather the opposite.
Just like a professional soldier wouldn't want a war to end, just to see his job at risk, his promotion chances smashed, a return to a stricter peacetime discipline, etc., so racial studies professionals (who even if they work in academia are really more politician than teacher) don't want for emotions to cool down just to see his work getting far stricter scrutiny, less media attention, less budget from interested parties wanting a study to point at regardless of quality.

Talking about racism isn't race baiting. Just because you or I have never experienced racism doesn't mean it doesn't exist, so when we do hear instances of it occurring from people who it actually effects, we should listen and take steps fix said issue.
Not talking about racism doesn't make it go away, it hides it in its corner and lets it feed upon its victim and while brinign it out in the open may often be uncomfortable it needs to be addressed

As far as im aware they are just some garbage idelogues thats been posted on the internet. Havent heard any proper academic source to them. A lot of books seem to be written about it but none them seem to want to be criticized by their peers. Any proper criticism also tends to be either ignored or the criticizer gets attacked with verbal abuse. From little ive read on it, it sounds very Freudian with some nonsense about subconscious thought crimes or whatever it was called.

Is Christianity a European religion?

Christianity as we know it evolved in Europe, yes. Indo-European polytheism was no more indigenous to this continent than Abrahamic monotheism was so Varg's argument in this is shit.

Is the world currently undergoing a second religiousness?

It seems that liberalism is in decline all around the world, in the West (where nationalists are surging in popularity), in the Middle-East (where Islamic fundamentalism is now the norm), and even in places like the Philippines, with people like Duterte.

>Religiousness
No. Liberalism was running on the momentum of religiousness. What's left afterwards is a reversion to pre-religious barbarism.
>>
>>1946997
Second religiousness is something that happens well into the Imperial era, and is heavily associated with a society in decline, readopting religion as a coping mechanism.

According to most proponents of Spengler we in the west are still waiting to transition into the Caesarist era. This sort of conservative backlash to progressivism could more accurately be compared to the ultra-conservative movements of late Republic figures like Lucius Sulla or Cato the Younger

Let me get this straight: god built us for sin and then cursed us for eternity when we did sin but decided he loves us but instead of removing his curse he did a blood sacrifice of his son so that we could remove the curse on ourselves individually but only if we believe in an impossibly implausible scenario and never sin either?

Don't forget that his son is really just an aspect of him, so in order to forgive us he had to convince himself by hanging himself on a cross. After that he was so touched by his own sacrifice he lifted punishment he decreed.
>>
>>1941045
Yes, several.

1. Why would god curse all of humanity for all time because of one thing one of our ancestors did?
2. Why didn't he just 'forgive' us?
3. Why the fuck would anyone worship this asshole?

Let's accept that there is an absolute truth and that moral values are objective. So... what follows from it?
68 posts and 5 images submitted.
>>
>>1945837
Do you have any way to divine absolute truth? String theory and dark matter and shit going on inside black holes might be true, that doesn't mean we know shit about them because we have no way of learning more about them. Then you just end up with guys running around claiming they have the objective truth spoken to them by god.
>>
>>1945848
Well, I'm not saying there are absolute truths and objective values, I made this thread with the purpose of understanding those who say so.
>>
>>1945859
Those that say so have faith in a set of values generally from a holy book. There's a few secular humanists that try to derive absolute morality from self evident universal truths.

Tell me about Armenia.

I know nothing about the Caucasus in general, so please throw some of that in, but how come these guys are Christians surrounded almost completely by muslims? Are they arabs/turks/russians/iranians, what?

Oldest memers, constantly getting attacked by muzzies, used to be all over anatolia but nothing happened and they all stopped living for some reason.
>>
They were a mix of persian and greek then they were culturally enriched by the turks and became kurds. Soviets tried to separate their part of armenia (how typical) and create an hayastani culture that is supposedly the only actual armenians.
>>
>>1950419
Some Byzantine emperors where armenian. Culturally close to what pre-turkish-zerging populations where in anatolia. (Greeks, Assyrians etc.) The armenian language is indo-european and close-ish to greek. They where massacred by the ottomans along with other christian populations of the area in the early 1900s. System of a down's members are armenian.

The church believes at this time you have the moral and intellectual maturity to understand and pledge yourself to the faith for the rest of your life.
