they spook horses and men

that's about it

They're mainly psychologically damaging. Seeing a squad of war elephants matching toward you had to have been one of the freakiest things ever. Luckily unless they were incredibly well trained with a lot of experience you could potentially spook them and they'd start running through their own army. I think the romans used a pig hung upside down, squealing like mad, to drive the elephants away.

>>1931197
>When was the last time an elephant was actually used in a war?
As a transport? likely Vietnam war.
As a fighting beast? Likely somewhere in the Raj in the 19th century

Now, as to why the Filioque is heretical: first, let's examine what it means, because just changing the Creed unilaterally is a serious canonical violation, but it's not, per se, heresy (dogmatic violation). Some will say the Filioque means the Spirit proceeds from the Father, *through* the Son, as in the Spirit always wills and acts through the Son; that's actually not heretical, that's what the Orthodox believe. However, that's not simply what the Filioque means: if we look at the Council of Lyons, and at the Catholic Catechism, we see the Filioque is intended to mean the Holy Spirit proceeds from (comes from) the Father and the Son as *one principle*, which in Latin means clearly one source. This is where the Filioque gets seriously heretical, because when the Father begets the Son (which is not an isolation motion in time, but an ongoing and eternal relationship, the Son was always, is continuously, and will always be begotten of the Father--for those who do not know, this is not about the earthly incarnation, but about the eternal divine relationship with them), he also is providing the will and the activity of the Son; there being, once again, only one *divine* will and activity, the Father's. Now when the Holy Spirit is eternally proceeding from (come from) the Father, as a *principle*, the Father is also providing the Holy Spirit's will and activity, which is, once again, his own. Now here is what the Filioque is indicating: that the Holy Spirit comes from the Son and the Father as one principle, and therefore they both, in equal conjunction, provide the will and activity; this would mean the Son provides the *Father's* will and activity. Can you see how there's an issue with that? That's indicating the Son and the Father are jointly authoring the Father's will and activity. To say the Son shares in providing the Father's will and activity, totally distorts the oneness and simplicity of the Trinity.

>tfw based Pope Sheev cited the Nicene creed without the Filioque

Biggest meme of humanity has been Christianity. It gets proven wrong and ignorant they just change the word of God and create a new denomination.

Lord bless me and send me a stripper yes haw

You mean Germany is general.

no. russian revolution was.

>>1924681
This.

If you want religious answers, focus less on finding proof of a cause-effect relationship (behave this way and you'll get into the afterlife). That's just worldly thinking expanded to a larger sphere. You might as well get into transhumanism.

If you want a reason to religiously believe, start thinking about what it is about death that scares me.

Science has disproved the historicity of the Bible, but many Christcucks still cling to their kike worship by invoking the all powerful "MUH METAPHORS".

Sadly, there's no cure for retardation.

Embracing some sort of otherworldly something wont fix this; it'll only cause you to ignore this fact. Don't deny life.

No, just getting started in college.

What do you? Anything involved in history?

>>1937302
haha, no way. I'm political science but I switched out of history when I figured out there were no jobs there. If I recall correctly, the only stuff available is teaching, some stuff at museums, and some highly specialized bullshit. Basically since the market is saturated with history degrees, employers generally take those who have either distinguished themselves in some way or have the most degrees. Same as every other field, just 100x worse due to the severe over saturation.

They were basically the Bernie Sanders/Donald Trump/Rodrigo Duterte of the Roman Republic. Complete populism that threatened to undermine the current power structure and societal norms, which is why the senate were so afraid of them.

they seemed to think plebs are important just because they are people too and there are a lot of them

>>1937181
I thought what they were doing was unconstitutional and thus illegal. Constitution is everything, it's what protected them from tyrants. I think the Gracchus brothers got what they deserved.

is this a joke because that's exactly what happened?

No Confederate Leader was ever executed for treason, but a few nobodies were executed for war crimes.

Lee and Davis were allowed to die peaceful deaths.

Robert E. Lee was allowed to live as a free man, despite being directly responsible for the death of hundred of thousands of Americans.

If someone breaks a law, they should be flogged publicly and then burned to death.

Easily identifiable permanent markings would be a cool idea, wouldn't it?

Emphasis on rehabilitation rather than punishment.

Okay consider this
I had part of my brain removed, I lost no motor of cognitive functions or memories, and 1 year on my short term memory has improved since pre surgery.
Your brain doesn't store data, even my neurologist and brain surgeon said this. They don't know how memories work or how we retrieve memories, they just know the different parts of the brain that play a role in those functions.

The real question is, how can we know if anything can be real if our brain isn't real?

>>1936853
>Your brain doesn't store data,
it does

It supposedly works by changing synapse weights, basically how strong an ipsp or an epsp is, and how they sum

this isn't 100% understood and is a very simplistic model

there's people born with left half of the brain undeveloped, they still learn how to speak if they are trained, and aside from precise right body movements which they cannot do, you can't tell that they only have their right side of the brain

there is place for rearrangement in there

>>1936883
I had tons of neuropsychological testing done to see which hemisphere in my brain was dominant, to know if it would be safe for surgery. The psychologist somehow determined that my speech control and dominant handedness were in my left side of my brain so it would be safe to operate on the right side.
Even the psychologist said they're not sure where memories are stored or how they're retrieved, they only know the parts of the brain that store memory which is the hippocampus. But I only have 1 hippocampus and I have no trouble with memory now

>>1936641
Because of Christianism.

They are more concerned with the impact your death will have on others than your own choice to stop your suffering.
It shows how shitty utilitarianism is.

Fascism doesn't really fit in the left-right paradigm, but if you HAD to pick one, it's clearly much more "right" than "left". The core of fascism is ultranationalism, in stark contrast to the internationalism of the left.

the radical leftist component was purged in the night of long knives

still, Hitler wasn't exactly a muh free enterprise kind of guy

I know this is fucking bait but yeah, NSDAP was extremely right wing for a variety of reasons, but it did have some extreme left wing policies such as an extremely high corporate tax. However, this corporate tax was part of a bigger deal they struck with companies where they gave some companies lucrative deals when usurping foreign industrial value post-conquests, IG Farben for instance, and extremely profiteable government contracts.

So yeah, whenever in doubt ask yourself this;

Is the movement ideologically Nationalist or Internationalist? From this you can deduce your answer.

However, at the end of the day, Far Right or Far Left are both misleading and useless monikers because any regime that operates on the extreme tends to be totalitarian in nature and by then ideas are nothing more than just tools to fool the masses.

Yes they were useless, that is why Crossbows were used so much despite being costly and it's why crossbow using mercenaries worked for such a high wage.

So bad in fact that that Europeans frequently commented that it terrified Mongols and Saracens (presumable due to it's awful quality).

The fact that even English king garrisoned their French possessions with crossbow wielding folks alongside longbows is something of an oddity.

Though it must be said pavises do a lot of good.

no, they weren't useles
