/his/ , The United States Of America has an identity alone : The United States Of America .
American is the whole of the americas as a title referring to one born in the americas.

When it comes to language, might makes right.
You're wrong because you simply don't have the numbers and influence on your side.
Why didn't Polynesian tribes settle in Australia? Was it to do with the climate or Aboriginals? Or did they net know Australia existed, despite settling islands only relatively a short distance away?
Maybe they just bypassed Australia, like the portuguese did
>>1715548
it was full
>>1715548
Pretty sure polynesians didn't miss fucking Australia. I doubt the various climates throughout could be considered even remotely sound reasons for not settling.
It seems the only reasonable hypothesis is the Abos were so fucking ugly that they scared them away.
What would the world have been like had every nation spoke the same tongue? What would've changed by everyone being able to understand each other via some sort of universal language (Ignoring how infeasible such a thing is)?
>>1715508
One thing history points out. Whether you look at the book of Kings and Chronicles in the Bible, or you study the various Roman Emperors, or if you study the Presidents of the United States, or the various leaders of throughout history...
You'll notice, like for example in the book of Kings in the Bible, each King is introduced in one for two ways. "So and so King did GOOD in the eyes of the Lord, or So and So King did EVIL in the eyes of the Lord" etc etc
You look at Rome you'll see the same thing, emperors who did good or bad by "Roman standards". Same with US leaders, same with all the leaders throughout history etc etc
So what you see is a unpredictable trend. You never know who's going to take the throne. Even in Israel, "God's chosen people"...they weren't guaranteed a "Good king in the eyes of the Lord" because they were God's chosen people.
Now you ask what the world would be like with one leader and language? Think about it...
You now have no where to run in the event the power begins to corrupt, no "new world" to run to as our ancestors ran from the crown. Because the whole world would be under one voice and one will and one intent. That's one reason why the tower was destroyed. Man in his arrogance, is untrustworthy. Plain and simple. The amount of oppression that can take place under one single foot, where no one can escape to a "new world"....the potential oppression is what you have to keep in mind. But it will eventually happen, will be presented as a desirable solution. After that we'll have to wait and see what happens.
>>1715508
Finally we can have the Pan-Universal Roman Empire.
We'd end up with thousands of languages derived from one single language with various groups of people using various "Old X"s as a lingua franca akin to what we have/had now only linguistics would be a lot more or less interesting depending on what you like in linguistics.
What can you say about this man?
>>1715484
Sharp dresser.
>>1715484
He has his fans and his haters - and both would probably be sorta right and sorta wrong.
He was a great offensive tactician.
He liked taking risks and going on the offensive - and German High Command stuck him in Africa and told him he couldn't do any offensives ever while his logistics were constantly compromised by the RN prowling the Mediterranean.
He disregarded those orders and we all know how that went. Did he bleed out his equipment and supplies for very little gain? Yes. Did his dashing style make him popular and respected with his troops and his adversaries? Also yes.
Strategically his management of the defense of France wasn't all that bad, to be honest. His leadership just suffered from SS and Wehrmacht infighting. Also, he got strafed in his staff car so that didn't turn out too well.
>>1715484
A shining example of the Peter Principle, promoted beyond his level of competence.
>>1715526
>He liked taking risks and going on the offensive - and German High Command stuck him in Africa and told him he couldn't do any offensives ever while his logistics were constantly compromised by the RN prowling the Mediterranean.
His logistical compromising was more due to the expanses of desert he had to cross on the basis of almost no established infrastructure. The amount of supplies lost to RN raiding is generally overstated.

The plan he advocated didn't work at Salerno. Why would it work in Normandy?
what is the historical root for the permanent prevalence of antisemitism ?
is it the significantly higher intelligence of jews that simply caused jealousy ?
or is there some truth to the hypothesis of jewish nepotism ?
Scapegoating. That simple.

>ever bishop is in persona Christi
"every bishop is Christ in person"
This is a Catholic doctrine.
The Orthodox think it's extremely wrong: http://anastasias-corner.blogspot.com/2008/06/in-persona-christi-capitis.html
Could some Catholic give me the justification the RCC uses for it?

Hi Constantine. Nice day, wasn't it?

It means that the priest stands in for Christ during Eucharist.
Which he does, nothing blasphemous in that.

That would be Christ vicarious, not Christ in persona.

I think this was thought out quite well. The only thing that I am skeptical about is the idea that the Germans would exterminate all Slavs in the annexed lands not deemed fit for assimilation. He did seem to touch upon enslavement but I don't think that would end. After all, the east was supposed to provide food for the empire and they always planned on using slaves for that.
>>1715549
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I forgot if the narrator brought it up in his series but the events of the book Fatherland were significantly more realistic than the events of The Man in the High Castle.
I mean seriously, how the hell do you drain the entire Mediterranean into Africa?
>>1715549
also I'll admit I'm a bit new to /his/, just wanted to ask if alternate history discussions are aloud, even though they aren't exactly "historical" per say.
>god knows everything, including the future, and everything that happens is according to his will, which you as a human are not capable of fully knowing
>despite this, god is willing to listen to your requests and alter the future in your favor
Yeah, nah. God knows everything. He knows as soon as you're born that you're going to grow up to be a piece of shit that dies and goes to hell forever. There's of course nothing you can do about this, because you're going to grow up to be a piece of shit and never pray for your salvation or cut the skin off your son's dick or whatever you have to do to join the cult these days.
If you don't pray, it's because you weren't ever going to, so god doesn't change the future for you.
If you do pray, it was because you were going to, and therefore god was never really altering his plans for you, he just forced you to go through the motions of prayer before he 'altered the future for you' when really he had plans to alter it before you were even born.
Prayer is unnecessary and counter-intuitive because it accomplishes nothing.
>>1715299
Nicely set-up straw man definition of prayer there.
>>1715314
you define it then, godcuck
do you think prayer is about those nice feelies you get when you ask the invisible sky man for a new bicycle?
>>1715299
Correct about your prayers.
Incorrect about mine.

I like hedonism and doing whatever I want and cursing and drinking and yelling
But I also wish our society was more cultivated and refined
Wat do?
Drink and fornicate while you're still young, curse those who do when you become too old to do it. Like everyone else through history.
>>1715184
1. Author rigorously detailed account of contemporary curses with detailed etymologies and situational uses collected from contemporary celebrities.
2. Write a sequel, fine beers, their origins and their observed effects.
3. Throughout cast 'yelling' as a source of traditional cultural pride and a unique contribution to the artistic world that can only be performed properly in the conditions described in your previous books.
4. Get so rich off the above you can bitch slap an entire political party all the way to the nomination on fame and outrage alone.
5. Do another book deal.
If it worked - > 'Why I'm Awesome and People Listen to Me
If it didn't - > 'Why I'm too Patrician and Cultured to be Understood by Regular People'

Which rulers brought about the most sudden and rapid change to their nation?
I don't mean which ones cause something down the line, I mean between Ruler X becoming in charge and Ruler X stepping down, who changed the land they rule the most?

Pericles. Athens became an empire and would have stayed that way if he didn't die from the plague
>John 4:13, 14Iesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
How to better acquaint with the water of life in a life that only gives you water that makes you go thirsty again? Knowledge is the eternal quenching water, and temporal reality will have us be thirsty again, like we are wanting more

I masturbate to anime at least 3 times a day and my penis is well on its way of breaking.
I don't know why, but for about a year now, I've been getting some serious thoughts about becoming a priest. I don't really get it, and I don't know where to start, and every time I really look into it, I'm overwhelmed by anxiety about whether or not I can do it at all. I sometimes feel like I just want to escape the world, and priesthood seems like the best way of doing that that isn't shooting yourself or anything. I love catholicism, and I'd love to become a better catholic, but I don't really know If I'd ever be a good enough catholic. My parents would be upset, but I'm not really interested in getting married (I'm not gay, but I just don't seem to be as into sexual encounters as my friends. Not that that's bad, I don't fucking know). This has all been overwhelming, and I feel like I'm just looking for something to escape the madness of this world.
any advice /his/? you guys are the wise old man of 4chan.

>>1714969
Much of your post seems to concerned with escapism rather than any devotion or service to the church. Consider living in a log cabin and praying a lot instead. Becoming a priest requires a level of dedication and drudgery that few sane people possess.
Was Liu Bei truly a benevolent leader loyal to the han dynasty or was that just an excuse to further his ambition?
Liu Bei was like the most opportunistic cunt out of them all.
He was a hypocritical cunt who betrayed everybody that gave him an inch.
