Currently I am a non-denominational Christian, but should I convert to a denomination? I was thinking about Orthodox but should I join something else or remain non-denominational?

Well, you very well could remain non-denominational. There is nothing wrong with that. I am a recent Orthodox convert, so it could be said that I am biased, but I would recommend Orthodoxy. Receiving salvation through Christ feels so much better when you have to work for it. God bless.

What prompted you to become a christian in the first place and what is prompting you to change denomination?

Why does it seem like every decade of the 20th century, starting with the 1920s, has had it's own specific cultural identity? Did this happen in past centuries? Will it continue in the future?

It hasn't always been like this and it's happening because the 20th century was like the freeway of centuries in that it propelled humanity 1000 years into the future in a single century. Nobody has ever experienced as rapid social/economic/political/technological progress as those in the 20th century, it's completely unheard of and totally unique to our era.

much better record keeping, especially visually.

Cameras and mass consumerism.
Go to a poor country in the 20th century and you'll notice a peasant dressed the same way in the 1960s as he did in the 1920s.

Why did Germans commit so many war crimes and crimes against humanity in WW2?
Why did they act like Mongols?

Because like the mongols, they took huge swaths of territory and millions of people who don't want to be ruled by the invaders. To keep the peace and to keep rebellions low, extreme brutality is needed. Though Germany had an actively genocidal leadership

How come Napoleonic France managed to hold onto millions of conquered foreigners without violence and by giving them rights instead then?

But that really didn't work did it? They just provoked more and more resistance.

Hey /his/.
Can anybody identify the historic context of this photo? I'm trying to find how old it is.
It comes from my deceased granddad's photo album.

No, nothing at all. Most of his family photos have nothing written on their back.
>Any president who starts a war gets punished by having his party lose and breakdown.
The loss of Vietnam by the Best and Brightest caused Reagan to swipe in and dismantle the great society and turn america into a national theocracy . Bush losing Irak/Afg lead to the new progressive push which caused the legalization of gay marriage, which seemed impossible just a few years before 2008, when homosexuality was illegal.
Furthermore, both the GOP post Bush, and the DNC post LBJ reacted by putting forward more extremist (towards their base) candidates.
(Carter was a liberal Christian, and possibly the GOP will nominate a Liberal Christian somewhere in the next few years, but that was a bargening state)
Is there any correctness to the theses that losing a war causes the death of your party ideals, and if so, why do presidents start wars to begin with?

Homosexuality was illegal in 2008? Really? Where, that one county in Alabama that technically had sodomy laws still on the books that they didn't enforce?
C'mon.
>>
>>1893485
It was illegal all over America.
>On June 26, 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court in a 6–3 decision in Lawrence v. Texas struck down the Texas same-sex sodomy law, ruling that this private sexual conduct is protected by the liberty rights implicit in the due process clause of the United States Constitution.

What?
If they "struck down" a sodomy law and ruled buttfucking was constitutionally protected, it means it wasn't illegal. Or am I reading it wrong?

Can someone explain to me what actually happens? how did the ottomans logistic and manpower worked?

Little value for human life
Zhukov read a lot of books on the Ottomans and inspired his human waves stategy from them

>>1893360
It was a mess that led to poor industrialization, economic diversification, and widespread poverty. They essentially drafted a disproportionate number of their men, usually Turks, but other ethnicities too in their armies

Exactly what are the reasons why Russia has become increasingly revanchist and revisionist in the past years?
I'm especially curious about their ability to turn reality completely on its head. Why do so people think Russia is being encircled by NATO?

Every dictatorial regime needs an enemy. So Putin's propaganda created the evil NATO and degenerate Europe encircling them, portraying Russia as a fortress of traditional values and whiteness. Also Russians has always been a very militaristic society, so it's easy to play on that string. Also it's a huge shithole, so he choose to go the "Yes, we might be poor and whatnot, but at least we're stronk and have nukes!"

What was the reality of piracy like, /his/? Were the majority of them illegal smugglers, outlaw bandits, or state-sponsored privateers? Did they live on their ships hiding from the law or did they hang out on the coast in taverns getting drunk? Did they sail the seas aimlessly or stake out their turf? Did they have secret pirate island headquarters? Were they bro-tier?

Pirates are people, believe it or not and people are different.
I'm sure there were many different situations that brought about many different types of pirates, some probably had intentions akin to a folk hero like Robin Hood, and others were there to gape little boi pucci like yours.
