It's been theorized that Judaism came from an older pantheistic religion, and they broke off. It might be that the older religion just wound up crumbling to.

I believe in welfare, but it should be for building human capital/skills or being miserable, but not starving.

it's important in sustaining our NEET lifestyles

Unemployment is only going to rise in the future, it's inevitable, welfare is a necessity for the economy

People enjoy getting stepped on

Russia got centralized in an attempt to unite against the mongols. Without this threat we would have independent city states for much longer

Constantine, shut up or at least put your trip back on so we can filter you. Your obvious Orthodox shilling is as stupid as ever.

Your daily reminder that the historical Jesus almost certainly WAS a Pharisee, and that the "Pharisees" of the New Testament hold an awful lot of Sadducee beliefs, which of course your pocket "experts" like Paul completely fail to catch up on, demonstrating that misunderstanding of the religion it supposedly stems from was lacking pretty much from Day 1, and that God apparently never thought to inform his church (or himself) about these things.

Because they were film-flammy in 1940 which was the only year that the Axis actually looked likely to win.

By 1941 it was clear that if they joined in the side of the Axis they'd just get their shit kicked in too. Besides they were still recovering from the Civil War

>>1717019
They just got over a giant fuckhuge civil war.

Also, there was no real gains to hope for, because they had just fought a hard earned victory to hold on to their tiny fucking colony.

Hitler couldn't stand Franco.

Yeah you'd be amazed how long autocrats can hang in there.

Michalangelo wouldn't stop fooling around, and Raphael was an asshole.

there was another thread yesterday with the ranking raphael > michelangelo > da vinci which is 100% accurate. not sure where i would put donatello -- probably between michelangelo and da vinci

it probably depends on how many works by each artist a person can name

Da Vinci's not the superior man, but he's definitely the most renown, seeing that his work is the easiest to identify.

>mona lisa
>the last supper
>vitruvian man
>numerous sketches depicting mechanical contraptions, anatomical diagrams, and breathtaking artwork

Michelangelo may have painted a number of influential pieces, but unless you bother to do any research, most people don't readily associate him with his creations. "David" is known as just "the statue of the guy with the small penis" to a lot of people, for example, and the same can be said for the rest of those men.

Also, Da Vinci was largely seen as a polymath whose artistic abilities were one of many. His contemporaries are seen as artists first, and everything else second, so they're not viewed as impressive.

They didn't consider blacks to be people, so no

Well we had slaves before the constitution was written so like a lot of things it got grandfathered in. The thing is, slavery was opposed on a moral stance far more than a legal one.

Southern plantation owners considered it a sort of romanticised neo feudalism, and argued they treated their slaves better than the industrialists in the north treated their sweatshop employees.

You know how no matter how introspective and self-evaluative you are, there's always a little bit beyond your grasp that you wont admit you find detestable about yourself? Enlightenment is finding that bit, admitting it to yourself, and fixing it.

>>1716695
fuck that, enlightenment is peace in understanding, and accepting what you can`t. not necessarily implying you stop trying

Realizing that there is nothing to realize. Usually this realization is preceded by a long wild goose chase involving trying a million different things to end your suffering and finally you can start living the life you've always dreamed of.

Eventually (hopefully) you will realize that you're going to die, like everything. You'll realize that you're one with the universe, and not in some spiritual new-age way. You'll realize it's just a physical reality. You're part of the universe like the cells are part of your body. The distinction between you and everything else doesn't need to be made. You'll realize many more profound truths on the way, and it will amuse you, and it will be fun to think about. You'll learn a lot, and eventually you'll get back to where you started, and that's enlightenment.
