What does being brainwashed ACTUALLY mean? Why is somebody any more brainwashed than you are?
Try to really make me think, /his/
i was wondering this the other day. You literary cant not be "brainwashed". It all comes down to picking which brainwashing ideologies will be the best for society. Thats really what politics is philosophically
Believing one side of a story instead of reading about both sides and forming your own opinion.
Basing your opinion on the ruler of country A written by country A instead of also reading about ruler of country A from the perspective of country B C D etc.
Many people read one story then assume they know all the facts. I consider that mild brainwashing whether it was intentional or not.
Brainwashed is when someone has been forced or manipulated to adopt a certain viewpoint or set of values by external forces, contrary to their own will
yes or no?
he was the dominant leader of the Annales school
so i say yess
The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World is still the GOAT history book
Does ethics hinder advancement or do they help keep us human?

Morals hold us back, imagine how advanced medical science would be if we could test new cures on human guinea pigs.

was Courage the Couwardly dog wacky or what?
If you reject morality, there's no 'us' anymore, it's every ape for himself. How do you imagine the progress happening in that sort of environment?
How did Byzantium manage to hold out the way it did? Did they still claim to be an empire even when it was reduced to a few cities?
>>1928057
they had le ebin walls that gave a 2000 point defense bonus
Technically they were still an Empire as they had multiple vassals.
>>1928599
Technically they were an empire because Rome was the definition of empire

See the problem here is due to DNA it also means evolution is correct meaning we did originate from simple molecular machines that replicated and adapted to gain more energy eventually leading to multicellular life.
I just cannot see any logical reason for this holy fuck.
>tfw the history of my country is an eternal JUST
I just wanted it to develop culturally and morally... is that too much to ask for?

Seriously. It really says something about my heritage that we have to invent bullshit memes about us originating from mongols to feel special.
Is it actually justified to say that real National-Socialism has never been tried?
Initially the movement had a significant social component to it.
http://www.hitler.org/writings/programme/
The movement gained a huge following in the early 1930s by also promising workers rights and social reform and many leaders had what we would be considered leftist social views.
The SA were basically a "workers army".
But in 1934 Hitler "betrayed" National-Socialism by allying himself with the bankers and the conservative elites, who wanted to keep their power, and he brutally eliminated the social elements of the movement.
The Night of the Long Knives happened and we also got the horror of WWII.

What's the difference between Gregor Strasser and Adolf Hitler?
>>1927626
>Is it actually justified to say that real National-Socialism has never been tried?
Yes, in Germany starting from the 1930's.
There is no "real" or "pure" ideologies. When it comes to implementing them, there are always compromises with reality.
>>1927635
Hitler had a mustache.
How can you give credibility to ugly philosophers given that their worldview was tainted by resentment and being a lonely loser? Surely such a person is not qualified enough to comment on life and meaning?
>>1927560
So, who is qualified?
How can you give credibility to attractive philosophers given that their worldview was tainted by popularity and being idolized? Surely such a person is not qualified enough to comment on life and meaning?
>>1927663
Of course he can.

What are the greatest works of literature or texts written before 1 AD? It can be anything, from poetry to philosophy to science, or war dialects, like Commentarii de Bello Gallico.
Talmud , and probably a lot of the Greco-Roman/North African/Persian writings and treatise on how the world works. Meta-cliche, but some of the writings of Thales are pretty spectacular.
>>1927486
Talmud was written between 200-500 ad. The Jewish bible was written before AD. Also a lot of Great greek stuff like Illiad, Oddessy and Xenofon etc.
>>1927477
Pāli Canon
Seriously, are there any conspiracy theories about what this guy did?
What the hell was he thinking?
Did he really hold documents from Hitler to negotiate peace? Did Hitler backtrack and pretend he didn't know what he was doing?
What he did is so absurd, why didn't he contact the British beforehand? He literally nearly got shot down by planes and had to crash land with a parachute.
>>1927400
You already made this thread you fucking idiot.
>>1927404
Oh sorry, I didn't see that thread, that literally isn't me.
>>1927410
Ok that's a really weird coincidence then, soz
And to answer your question, the guy was mentally deranged and was rapidly losing favour with Hitler/the rest of the NSDAP. In his own damaged mind, he thought negotiating peace would get him back into the inner circle.
How did the German army, leadership and people (if they found out) react to this?
