ANCAPers, what is you're response to the Anthracite Coal Strike of 1902? How should it have gone down?
Shoot the strikers and take their coal
>>1745975
Okay who works for you now? Your labor force moved to work for a different company, and now you have the bad headline of: "Pennsylvania coal mine owner orders massacre of 35 workers!"
You have 30 days and 5 million dollars to get you and your company on your fight. Rumor has it thousands of workers are coming to your factory to dismantle it, and have a chance at harming you. What is your next move?
>>1745981
>thousands of workers
sell them the coal

>Hitler breaks numerous treaties, both bilateral ones signed with England itself (The naval limitations spring to mind) as well as signed with the international community at large (The Sudeten will be my last land grab, honest!)

Fascism had to be destroyed. Returning stolen territory just stalls time before a third German invasion.

Germany got off too light after WWI. They had to be dismembered and Prussia had to be abolished lest they try to kick off WWIII.
What kind of afterlife do modern christians believe in?
Same as ancient Christians

I think OP is referring to new agent Rob Bell-esque nonliteralists.
In that case, they rely heavily on the God of Gaps theory to explain unknown things. This is a regression in the theistic tradition (that is an actual thing, not sarcasm) and a disappointment to their mothers and fathers who actually stood for something regardless of being wrong.
Modern Christians are too scared to commit to something genuinely spiritual openly and confidently. They believe in their feelings and notions but amongst their young liberal allies (there are no old or nonliberal modern christians), they confess to "not really knowing" what's real (meaning literally true) except that Jesus died in crucifixion and rose again.
Speaking to the afterlife, Rob Bell wrote a whole book about Hell. But let me save you a bunch of silly, silly hours. He typifies the Modern Christian (who are agnostic superhero lovers, really) as someone who understands using their big logical brains that Hell is not a literal place but a metaphorical condition of torment that we endure by not achieving everything he can on earth. That would be actually somewhat insightful if not for the prison of disclaimers that the insight is buried within; namely, still believing in the crucifixion and god/superheroes.

If invading a country that's having a civil war in order to "stop bolshevism" and taking their land and funding the unpopular ruling elite is morally right, Then why is installing communist governments in formerly hostile neighboring countries after liberating them from an enemy which invaded and genocided you, morally wrong?
>>1745796
Because communism itself is wrong.
The rightness or wrongness of a state action depend upon outcomes, not the methods used to achieve them.
No action, no matter how radical, taken to suppress communism is wrong. No action, no matter how moderate, taken to spread communism is just.
>>1745804
>hurr communism is wrong.
Less wrong than western empires, oligarchies. etc.
>No action, no matter how radical, taken to suppress communism is wrong.
Then you're a disgusting hypocrite, just like the west.
>>1745804
>No action, no matter how radical, taken to suppress the bourgeoisie is wrong. No action, no matter how moderate, taken to spread capitalism is just.
What can you tell me about this famous concept, /his/? Is it really what it the name implies, an orgiastic reward for service? Are such overtly lewd themes common in the Quran, or is this an exception? Why such a high number?

The 72 virgins thing originated with the Assassins.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassins
Supposedly they would get recruits high as fuck and throw them into a room with beautiful women. Then when the kid wakes up, they tell him he's just experienced Heaven and if he does his job he gets to go back. After that, the recruit is fanatically loyal, and allegedly members of the cult would slit their own throats on command if ordered to do so.
>>1745790
I dont know much about them, but didnt they almost kill the leader of the ottoman empire? (Could be a different empire idk shit).
Fuck 72 virgins. Give me 72 bitches that'll blow my mind
Was going through some old sctuff... Anyone have any idea what it could be? I have a m8 who thinks it was an Untermensch's star and I was like naw niqqa.

It appears to be a star-shaped object of some kind.

Oops didn't see the thread actually posted...
Anyways heres another shot
What went right?
What went wrong?
How important was it really?

The grave would probably be in Poland.
/his/ thoughts on Anton Lavey and his religion?
Closest thing we gotten to real Christianity since the Cathars.
>>1745406
Care to explain a little bit?
>>1745381
its not a religion, its a philosophy. And its brilliant. It basically says that the bible is full of shit, and you are free to do whatever you want as long as you don't hurt, manipulate, or force anything onto others. Which organized religion constantly does/did, and it is them who are morally degenerate, spiteful, nonsensical, just all around pure evil.
if god were just he would give us free will and give everyone the opportunity to find salvation with him
a prerequisite to this personal choice of salvation would be that we would need to be aware that such a choice exists for use to make
in other words we need to have god revealed to us in order to know of the existence of salvation and to therefore to be able to choose to be saved
abrahams claim that this revelation has in fact been made, but it was not made to each person but only made to one or two individuals throughout all of history, individuals who then told other people what had been revealed to them
when asked why it is thought that those individuals weren't lying, abrahams claim that we have evidence: because a few friends of the individual backed up their claims. when asked why this is sufficient evidence, particularly why this is sufficient evidence in the face of the fact that many of these tales seem to have occurred in ways that were designed to be unverifiable, abrahams scoff and appeal to faith, conveniently brushing aside the fact that even the very people closest to the apparent individuals themselves required evidence to be convinced.
this is nonsense. we may as well be asked to believe that i had grown a flower in my garden that talked and had conversations with me before it died last year.
if there were a god and there was salvation through him and he were just (fair) he would personally reveal himself to all men, he would not ask of them to believe the unbelievable as a prerequisite to choosing salvation
>>1745337
>justice to god = a choice
May as well tell me that a parent should give their kids a revolver and give them the choice to play russian roulette.

So god isn't free? He can't decide to forgive people's sins? Oh wait, wasn't that the whole point of the Jesus thing? Why do the Apostles get direct, physical proof of god but the rest of us have to take the word of the anonymous and pseudonomymous authors of the bible? What's just about that?
>>1745641
I'm not talking about qualities that the existence 'god' may or may not have. I am saying that there is no reason to assume the existence 'god' would interpret a concept like 'justice' as giving people 'free will' and a 'choice'.
>He can't decide to forgive people's sins? Oh wait, wasn't that the whole point of the Jesus thing?
Jesus as a man had a will of his own that was separate from God. Otherwise, jesus would not have needed to make the choice to drink the cup of poison.
Now, jesus said he died for our sins but whether or not that was God's purpose we don't know.
>Why do the Apostles get direct, physical proof of god but the rest of us have to take the word of the anonymous and pseudonomymous authors of the bible?
You don't have to do anything. Either be part of a church which sticks to the teachings as they were written down by the Apostles themselves or walk away, or trust the Pope (most idiotic option of the 3, imo).
What made the Germans so good at war?
Despite losing in both wars, the Germans always seem to have an effective war machine.
>>1745332
They're orderly, have an ant-like mentality and they revere hierarchy.Also, they've only become effective after they've adopted the "Prussian virtues".
>>1745332
>What made the Germans so good at war?
They really weren't.
>Despite losing in both wars
That's a pretty important detail kiddo.
>the Germans always seem to have an effective war machine.
That's the power of fascist propaganda.
>>1745365
>They really weren't.
They were though. On a tactical level Germany was highly effective. Even more so in WW1 than in WW2.
>That's a pretty important detail kiddo.
No, it's not. You can win all battles and still lose the war.
Is not having the ability to make moral exceptions the problem with objectivism?

That damn pic

>taxpayers are hypocrites if they accept benefits paid for by taxes
Wew.
>>1745352
Not only that; but isn't the point of objectivism to get ahead any way possible? So being a hypocrite is allowed

Destroying Europe and turning it into a more horrible EU but an EU actually favorable for the despicable country that is Germany.
Making the Ottoman empire great again.
Which city should deserve to be called "capital of the world"?
I know there are bigger cities but these two cities are the most iconic and powerful. There was a time when Rome and Thebes were considered the capitals of the world.
mater roma is still capital of the world
>>1745098
Capital of world religion maybe. And yeah I realize that the Vatican is considered a separate state.
>>1745090
Is that even a question?
London is below Paris when judging the "most iconic" city of Europe alone, so they're certainly not number one on world stage
NYC wins in a landslide
