Why do people think that the French Revolution was more influential than the American Revolution? The American Revolution happened first, clearly laid out the specific rights that Americans were entitled to, and actually resulted in the creation of a stable government that has lasted for hundreds of years and has since become a major world superpower. The French Revolution wouldn't have happened if France didn't bankrupt itself funding the American Revolution, it led to a period of bloody civil war followed by the re-establishment of an autocratic dictatorship, and the end result was a meme empire that collapsed in on itself in less than 20 years and began a cycle in which France was continially cucked by the Germans for nearly a century afterwards.

The only actual arguments I've heard in favor of the French Revolution's pre-eminence is that the French Revolution took place in Europe, which is utterly irrelevant, and that the King of France was killed, which doesn't mean much when you consider that his death didn't actually stop France from eventually reverting to monarchical rule.

In high school, I heard from every single one of my teachers that the French Revolution was more influential than the American Revolution. Then again, I went to high school in Australia, so they were probably just taking the Eternal Anglo's view on it.

The american revolution was war for independence like dozen happened. The french revolution was about destroying the regime who ruled you for a thousand year in one of the most powerful country.
The french revolution shaped the world for the better and worst, the american one did not.

Why is digital piracy generally accepted by society or at least tolerated when it is literally no different than walking into a grocery store and stealing whatever you want without paying? What's with the double standards?

That's a archbishop's coat of arms. You can recognize it from the hat and cord with 20 knots (bishops have 12, canons 6 and priests 2). There are also colour differences but that's irrelevant in this case since the thing's unpainted.

The text is an experct from Hebrews 13.7, "Mementote praepositorum vestrorum qui vobis locuti sunt verbum Dei" : "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God"

Was he? Cause from what I've read it was probably propaganda against him that his wife was a slut. But I think that even if she did cheat on him I think Marcus would've forgiven her. He was known to be more than fair in court cases and he was never big on sex to begin with (no boi pucci), only to do his duty as a husband.

I read the Anthony Birley biography and he mentioned something about Marcus studying in one room and his brother Verus having an orgy in another. Marcus then goes on to thank his brother in the first chapter of the meditations. Sounds like a dude who'd forgive his wife for cucking him.

I am the farthest thing from a historian so please feel free to destroy me while correcting me.

Marcus was beyond concepts like cuckery. He was an Enlightened in a way that wouldn't be seen in the West again until we found out about Buddha.

Even had it been his brother who fucked his wife, the madman truly wouldn't have given a fuck. At that point, is it even still cuckery?
>>
>>1896517
>the madman truly wouldn't have given a fuck

Those are levels of not giving a fuck I strive for. I guess you're right. As I continue to study Stoicism, infedelity among women is the thing I have trouble letting go. It's crazy but I forgave a guy that tried to rob me but I can't entertain the idea of being cheating on and forgiving the girl.
>>
>>1896523

It is important to remember that your forgiveness does not have to mean you must tolerate being cheated on, just like you don't have to tolerate robbery to forgive the man who robbed you.

Stoicism does not need to conflict with concepts of justice. Marcus was an emperor, he spent his life ruling, and to rule is to punish.

Stoicism is about your own inner balance. If you are cheated on, leave the girl but do not dwell on your hatred for her. No matter how hard you hate her, you can never undo that she cucked you. It is the same with all injustice you are met with- you have very little control over the outcome of anything except your own responses to misfortune. Just let it go.

all I'm going to say is that when you're a poor third world shithole where nothing ever works and transnational corporation xyz and the CIA can buy off all of your politicians authoritarianism has it's benefits. people don't wake up one day and say "hey wouldn't it be swell to be ruled by an unelected strongman that can kidnap me in the middle of the night if I criticize him" for no reason.

How far does the absolute power meme go? Do you suppose if Stalin showed up to a general Politburo meeting in 1942 in a skirt and high heels that the party would still follow his orders? If Obama started speaking only in jive and ebonics would people still follow his orders?

Let's talk about how much power the guy at the top of a given organization or government truly has /his/

They'd have to follow Obama because not doing so would be against transexual discrimination in the workplace laws.

You have power only as long as you prove worthy of it to those that gave you it.
>>
Exactly, and those who gave Obama his power aren't the people. They are the so called elites. The rich men controlling things from behind the scenes. The corporations who contribute to Congress in order to have laws passed that allow them the freedom to do as they please. While the American people don't truly have a say, but are told that they/we do.

So is the individual smarter than society, or society the individual, or what?

>>1895805

The collective IQ of society is more important than the IQ of a single individual. A genius will not realize his potential if he is surrounded by idiots.
>>
Society is way smarter than the individual. If the individual thinks otherwise, that's only because he's a fucking retard. Nobody in power knows what they're doing yet the world functions because society knows collectively who needs what and what goes where.
>>
depends?

do you find yourself smarter then everyone on Earth?

How would you define love, /his/? For me it is cessation, warmth, and to surrender.
Is it subjective?
Is it limited to humanity/consciousness?
Does it explode and fade away or last forever?
Can it happen on sight?

I would would say, love is a combination of trust, loyalty, and respect. If you can't really trust someone, or aren't loyal to them how can you love them? If you do not respest their choices, responsibilities, or person, how can you call it love?
