yes

Yes but genocide is always justified by the laws of nature.

Yes William, with the pigs. With the pigs.
People have always been mostly irreligious. Most peasants aren't dumb enough to believe in bullshit like god or the afterlife. The only reason why atheists started coming out of the closet in doves after WW2 was because of freedom of speech finally became a thing. Prove me wrong.

The Islamic world completely failed to modernize, but why? In the 19th century, it seems there were decent attempts (tanzimat, pic related etc.), but now salafism completely won, and Islam isn't really a religion anymore, it seems closer to formalism.
China also made a terrible entry in modernity, was also colonized, but is now developed and rich.

Blame the Ar*bs for that
>>3279783
Not everyone wanted to modernize. There were sections of the population vital to administration and holding a lot of power in the non-Western countries who stood to lose a lot in the way of lifestyle and power if modernization went through. You can see this in the Ottoman Empire with the Janissary revolt.
This was a problem in all of the states that tried to modernize, and some countries found it easier to just make a new government from scratch (e.g. Japan).

The ottomans held back the Arabs if anything
Alright guys- while we can still in some way manipulate upcoming DLCs and patches, which nations HAVE to be playable in the new game?
>>3279660
So if the last game focused on the age of exploration to the colonial age. Will this one start Napoleonic and you eventually get to world war 1 tech?
>>3279660
America
>>3279678
Didn't the trailer show the classical age?
Was WW1 the end of "great" melee warfare?
When exactly did it die?
>>3279601
In WW1 melee combat was more of an exception than rule.
Franco-Prussian war would probably be one of last "old-fashioned" wars in that regard. The French still sued cuirassiers like pic related. Everything past 1870s slowly evolved into industrial slaughter. Boer Wars, Spanish-American War and Russo-Japanese War are first modern wars.
>>3279617
>sued
*used
>>3279617
American Civil War? I'm legit asking, I've heard many times it being called one of the first modern wars.
It's just a little storm.
>>3279584
It's just a few natives.
It's just a few Austrians
It's just a few Barbarians.
I recently watched this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQHBAdShgYI) video by CGP Grey, where he asserts that the only reason that the teletransporter really frightens us is the continuity of consciousness.
However, this same criterion applies to general anaesthetic and sleep. If that's the case, then unfortunately sleep abrogates the criterion we have for personal continuity, and so kills us. I recognise Parfit claims that this "doesn't matter", but I don't see my own permanent death as sow thing that "doesn't matter". If anything, it is of utmost importance. Why bother planning for a future I won't exist in?
This(http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1049286) CNN article presents the idea concisely, as does this (http://existentialcomics.com/comic/1) comic
I've been having sleepless nights lately, so I just want to see if any philosopher has addressed the continuity of consciousness specifically.
OP already made this thread sage fuck off you've already ended your stream of consciousness more than 1670 times
>>3279683
Shut up. I was hoping someone with expertise or education in this field would come along.
>>3279557
Personally if the clone has my memories and my exact personality, then as far as I am concerned, that is me, as I am he. I see no reason to be concerned.
5. France by Germany in 1940 (46 days)
4. Poland by Germany and the USSR in 1939 (35 days)
3. Prussia by France in 1806 (19 days)
4. Portugal by France in 1807 (11 days)
1. The Sultanate of Zanzibar by Britain in 1896 (38 minutes)
The Hall of Fame of patheticness
>>3279538
France wasn't conquered in WW2. They signed an armistice.
Poland shouldn't be in this list, two countries coming at once was absolutely unfair
>>3279549
Well Nazis were in the streets of Paris, and took all of France in 44 when they didn't think Vichy was doing a good enough job. Sounds pretty conquered to me.

It was a decent video, maximally autistic but then Lindy is an unapologetic autist.

This raises a possibility: is Lindybeige the manifestation of autism?

Oliver Stone was wrong for writing dialogue that sounds like speechmaking
none of the conversations in that movie feel natural
>trying to moralize war
>not just accomplishing your objectives whatever the ethical costs
There's a reason journalism and communications killed traditional methods of war, civilians can't wrap their head around the horrors of war.
Why the FUCK did the Germans need 400,000 men to occupy Norway(population: 3 million)?

any good stories in the Bible?

Yes, of course. Hundreds.
One of my favorites is a little known tale about a judge named Ehud. Ehud was a left handed man who sought an audience with one of the pagan kings neighboring Israel. This king was a fat man, but paranoid, and Ehud said he had information the king must hear.
Ehud, being a left handed man, fashioned a shank and hid it on his right thigh. Thus secreted, he gained an audience with the fat king and stabbed him so viciously that the king's bowels burst out, and the shank was completely enveloped by fat and guts.
Ehud makes his escape, but the servants of the king get nervous, as it begins to stink in the king's chamber. They figure he's just taking a dump. However, a lot of time passes. When they finally open the door, there is their dead fat king, but no Ehud. Clean getaway.

Joab has an interesting story, and is an incredibly interesting character--a calculating and underhanded but brilliant and undefeated general serving under King David; basically a bad guy working for the good guys.
