Likely a common answer, but I find everything about him and Rome at the time so interesting.

[spoiler]Were he to rise again to lead his mighty legions, I would probably join him.[/spoiler]

That being said, he had his flaws, namely genociding the Gauls.

I feel as though my behavior and beliefs have grown more and more inconsistent and incongruity over time, due to my inability to filter out contradictory opinions and mutually exclusive philosophies.

This is in part due to my schizophrenia, as I seem unable to maintain a steady set of principles, standards or perceptions over time, being unable to recognize contradictory facts and information and being unable to separate fact from established fiction, and established fiction from paranoid fantasy.

I feel as though I've let myself become blinded by whats possible to the extent that I seem unaware of whats probable, but I do not trust the opinions of others because of their fallacies are a known commodity.

TL:DR I'm completely lost, have no opinions and don't know whats real anymore.

There are so many times when I'm presented with two mutually exclusive ideas, but I can disprove neither of them, and both make persuasive arguments.

I'm forced into this painful position of having to acknowledge that either one could be true, but knowing that one isn't.

There are far too many competing philosophies and I just can't seem to pick one over the other, they all make valid claims as to what constitutes value and what doesn't.

Why didnt they use shields or some kind of cover?

Is there anything like a "postivie nihilism"?

Nihilism is always associated with pessimism, depression and destruction.
But what if a person, after realizing that his action has no consequences in the long run, nothing matters and we are just here for a while, just "buys a ticket and takes a ride"? Lives a life as if he could die within a month? Taking all chances and enjoying life as it is.

Is this just utilitarian approach? Or existenatlism?

That's just nihilism. Nihilism being negative is a spook made up people spooked people trying to justify their spooks.
>>
>>1937077
Yes. It's called active nihilism and the "active" part means to break down all spooks, not to just be a massive hedonist (but not ruling it out either).

How come blacks were segregated in the US military for much of the timespan between the Civil war period to WWII (Korea?) but not other races?

Looking at other Non-European Minorities in the USA, the Americans didn't do the same shit. The Chinese, Filipinos, and Latinos all joined in non-segregated units. Only difference were Japanese Segregated battalions and that was due to the fact that they had a war on with Japan.

Because American conservative race theory doesnt operate on WHITEY ALONE IS CIVILIZED. That was actually pretty extreme.

No. Whitey was enlightened. The Asians are civilized albeit "medieval." They must be "modernized" by whitey. Latinos and Filipinos are examples of "tamed savages." by undergoing colonization. While it was considered that there was no hope for blacks and they'll always be savages.

I want to learn latin and greek and study theology in its original translations. What would be the best way to do so?

> Lingua Romans et Apostolos
What do you want to say here? 'The language of the Romans and apostles'?
That would be 'lingua Romanorum et apostolorum'.

Aramaic/Hebrew and Greek are the 'originals'. Latin is useful only as a language of subsequent theology.
>>
>>1937023
PS. The 'apostles' spoke Aramaic.
>>
>>1937023
Not OP but if you know, how hard is it to not only read latin, but to he able to more or less fluently articulate ideas in it, in a modern setting? I see some forums where people speak Latin to each other but I don't know whether that's more meticulous translation or natural language use.

And then there's these guys for example, novaroma.org, many of their pages aren't even in latin. They have translations from a ton of other languages but often not latin, which they say is important to know. None of their pages are written colloquially, so it would seem like making latin versions or even composing them originally in latin would be simple since it would be just straight grammar, very objective tone, no beautiful prose, no rhetoric, no colloquialisms.

So what's stopping people from actually reviving the language if so many people are into that?

They invaded
>>
>>1936589

They were the only ones that presented a real threat, mostly because of their navy (being also trade competitors).

Also when Hannibal invaded from the North it caused them a lot of fear.

Add that to the fact that an outside enemy is an easy way to reinforce the power of the senate and you got the perfect recipe for war.

Out of all the european great powers, only Britain could win a war of attrition.

Continental nations like France, Germany and Austria-Hungary were doomed to fail unless they could rake up a quick victory.

The Germans realized the value of this in both World Wars, but were led by retards in both.
>>
The funniest part: both wars were offensive wars that germany instigated.
How is it possible that you could get BTFO so badly in the first war by the U.S.A, and then still come back for more and get BTFO again by the U.S.A. any germanons care to explain?
>>
I'm no German sympathizer, I actually hate the Germans, but they were overwhelmed. In World War One it was two versus seven and it World War Two the numbers were greater and it was mainly against Germany. Germany was overwhelmed in both world wars. Honestly Germany needs to stop trying to eat more than it can handle and take their place as the niggers of Europe.

Do you really want to understand Evola? It's heavy as fuck reading and he talks about esoteric stuff (basically magic and symbolism) and also references classical literature a lot. If you legitimately want to get into his works then you better be in it for the long run son.

I'm becoming really interested in him and some other modern Japanese emperors so:

He was first emperor.

>>1936278
He was a figurehead who gave authority to Meiji reforms.

Didn't they later on just pick him as their figurehead when they did a revolt because they wanted to throw out all the xenophobic hyper-militants so that they could do their own hyper-militant-thing

Same reason no one cares about the Holodomor, Stalin's purges, gulags, etc.
People "cared" about the ex-Yu conflicts moreso than any of the nasty stuff that came out of the east when the Soviet Union was still an entity.

People were shocked that Germany was accused of ethnic cleansing and genocide. No one is ever shocked when Slavs or Muslims are accused of anything, and certainly never sympathetic when the victims are of the same. That's the truth.
