So did South Carolina (or the states that followed) ever actually attempt to negotiate their secession before deciding "bawwwww Lincoln won, we're leaving now?"
>>1778040
reminder that we objectively settled that the southerners rebelled over slavery
>>1778262
okay
I don't think that's in question here
>>1778040
They actually tried.

It obviously did not work at all.
>could have chosen the finest German tail

>could have chosen the finest German tail
thats not saying much
Would you rather have some woman who just hangs around you because literally no one can say no to you?
Or would you have a woman who is willingly with you and would rather kill herself than to live in a world without you?
>>1778030
The hot one.
What would happen to a medieval king if just decided to not go to church out of laziness? Would his subjects nag him until he started going to church again? Would people care that much?
Give this a read

tl;dr : Mandatory Church attendance is more of a reformation thing, it wouldn't have been a big deal if a King didn't go to Church in medieval times
When you're the king, the church goes to you. And nobody would know if you decided not to let it.

A better question would be if the peasants would rebel if they had a king who was openly atheist.
What are some philosophers who just view the world as a straight-forward struggle for power, with no attempt whatsoever made to beautify/aestheticise life or claim that things could ever be 'better'?
Nietzsche, while he is the consummate edgelord, does not count
>>1777831
Nietzsche
>>1777831
Some anonymous edgelord back in the 19th century basically wrote the manual for nihilist /pol/tards under the name "Ragnar Redbeard" (because he was a ginger faggot).
At that point it's questionable whether that can be called "philosophy" at all.
Hegel
Although your idea of "power" is already assuming a lot.
Did "Europe" exist before him?
The facts say no
Europa existed under the real Roman Empire.
Europa is a woman from ancient Greek myth (personifies the land).
Gold is a valuable commodity.

lol he looks like an angry shiny banana
mind if it save it?
What did he mean by this?
He meant it will be extremely painful but as a big guy he'll be able to handle it.
It means he's now on a hit-list for speaking out against the bankers
>>1777351
Ok, but what's the next step in his master plan?
How can I be less ideological or is that an ideologically-loaded question in itself?
be pious
>>1777234
Was this supposed to be a joke? Because I'm not fucking laughing.
>>1777387
LMAO Poltards are so easily triggered!
Let us discuss it brother! What is your favorite SOVIET battle with USA? Also side question! Was Russia ever directly invaded by USA?
>>1777209
1.) nice meme
2.) no
>What is your favorite SOVIET battle with USA?
The one were they lost to illiterate afghans.
>>Was Russia ever directly invaded by USA?
Yes. During Russian Civil War.
What was his endgame?
Get stabbed 24 times.
>>1777024
It is always nice when plans work out.
>>1777022
To destroy the looming threat of the Dacian kingdom under Burebista and then conquer Parthia. Presumably he would have liked to go after Britain too one day.
was gandhi really the driving force behind the poo loo uprising?
He was a good friend.
>>1776947
Funny how everyone can agree on this.
What the hell was his problem?
>Genghis_Khan.jpg
That's Kublai Khan, teneg.
The Mongols wanted gold, and it got out of control.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!
Do you think Nietzsche actually believed in the eternal recurrence or was it just a thought experiment? Or a brainfart
Jesus he even looks like the stereotypical reddit neckbeard.
Nietzsche was a great man and women will never understand him
Fuck i hate women
Do you believe in war as an instrument of policy?
>>1776531
look where it got them
>>1776545
Tying current immigration policies to Prussian politics more than a century ago is a bit of a stretch, anon.
Prussia wasn't top dog, and it worked wonders for them.
Do you think that if the Tokugawa shogunate invented manga and Japanese animation or Anime, Japan wouldn't be Japan now?
>>1776507
>>1776518
It's more of an alt history thing I guess.
But think about it, the serfs get to enjoy anime. It might as well be their banned scriptures.
Less output from work due to spending most of their time in entertainment and so on.
>>1776507
Anime and manga were invented by american jewish capitalists in order to demoralize the once loyal japanese people and force them into extinction through slow but civil means.
What does /his/ think about "Christian Atheism"? Particularly the "Death of God" theology, that takes Nietzsche literally as stating that God sacrificed himself in order to free us from his omni-oversight?
>basic to practically all of them is the idea that belief in God is impossible or meaningless in the modern world and that fulfillment is to be found in secular life

>In the mid-1960s, counter-cultural radicalism was echoed in theology as a few thinkers adopted Nietzsche’s slogan, “God is dead.” Thomas J. J. Altizer argued that God had become fully human in Christ, so as to lose his divine attributes and therefore his divine existence (a sort of extreme kenoticism, q.v.). William Hamilton, with less claim to theological profundity, said that modern people were unable any more to believe in God, and the church ought, therefore, to seek to do without him as well. Paul Van Buren followed language philosophers in arguing that the concept of God was “cognitively meaningless,” since God’s existence and nature were not verifiable or falsifiable by the methods of science.

>"Death of God" theology
>This movement gave expression to an idea that had been incipient in Western philosophy and theology for some time, the suggestion that the reality of a transcendent God at best could not be known and at worst did not exist at all. Philosopher Kant and theologian Ritschl denied that one could have a theoretical knowledge of the being of God. Hume and the empiricists for all practical purposes restricted knowledge and reality to the material world as perceived by the five senses. Since God was not empirically verifiable, the biblical world view was said to be mythological and unacceptable to the modern mind. Such atheistic existentialist philosophers as Nietzsche despaired even of the search of God; it was he who coined the phrase "God is dead" almost a century before the death of God theologians.
>>1776419
it's a meme
not even a very good one either
