Religion had tons of changes during the French Revolution but none of them lasted.

Didn't they try to give every day its own name? I remember hearing that but I googled the calendar and don't see it mentioned, so maybe it was a myth.

Laborers went from every seventh day off to every tenth day off. Also they were pissed because it conflicted with their churches.

>In the midst of all this I remembered the 'Calcutta' of the West - Calcutta the metaphor, not the city. In my three years in the West I had come to realise that the city had become synonymous with the worst of human suffering and degradation in the eyes of the world. I read and heard again and again that Calcutta contained an endless number of 'sewers and gutters' where an endless number of dead and dying people lay - but not for long - as 'roving angels' in the shape of the followers of a certain nun would come along looking for them. Then they would whisk them away in their smart ambulances. As in my twenty-seven years in Calcutta I had never seen such a scene, (and neither have I met a Calcuttan who has), it hurt me deeply that such a wrong stereotype had become permanently ingrained in world psyche. I felt suddenly overwhelmingly sad that a city, indeed an entire culture should be continuously insulted in this way.

>One of the most despicable persons there is
This is your image of one of the most despicable persons there is?

Stick around /his/ a while. You'll have fun.

>>1692557
Well, if I picked the 100 most despicable widely known persons from the last 500 years, she would probably be 98-100 on that list.

But if we take the difference between what people thinks of her and what she actually did into account, then she's in the top five.

I'm pretty sure 2+2=4 everywhere.

Unless you're talking about higher math, in which case all I have to say is I dunno, maybe.

I am sure that for less visual creatures their math would be less geometrical so who knows exactly how different it could be. Some concepts of math are pretty arbitrary.

>>1692450
Much of math is derived from logically-derived axioms which are created by men, so much could be quite different in an alien civilization.

Why would an intelligent creator create the universe if it didn't have some vested interest in doing so?

>>1692487
I dunno

The africans think God made the world on a casual whim and fucked off

>>1692487
Universe could be side effect of divine powers, like your shadow is side effect of your physical nature. Who knows, how exactly it works for God. Maybe, we all just his dream?

>>1692408
yes if it wasn't for those fucking classcucks to emotionally hurt the USSR we'd already be in other galaxies

fucking porkies subverted them and the cucks just went along with it

>>1692408

lel, is that what you think happened? USA made it to the Moon first, so the Soviets threw a hissy fit, took their their toys and went home?

>>1692408
no. the ussr actually helped a fuck ton by removal of more men. more males need to die =greater rate or increase of expansion, progress

demicide (include wars genocide anything state aligned) is one of the greatest tools of KOing an own population as there will ever be. you want your enemies statist, you free

As you know, the Germans have always been thorough people.

Villagers ran off into the woods, came back, later Germans come again and burn down newly built wooden homes. They'd execute by firearm or by hanging anyone who didn't leave in time, you know for supposedly supporting partisans, after they (little gray men in uniforms aka the infamous "liberators") committed many atrocities obviously forcing people to flee to the woods and take up armed resistance. Also in one video I watched about a soviet vet he said in the first months in Belarus if you were walking on a road some distance away from a village the Germans would find you suspicious and take you in, torture you a bit then execute you. He also said teens and pregnant women were executed too. If I'll find the video I'll post it.

>>1692371
Man, that's rough as fuck. So many people don't know much about Belarus either. It is a country shrouded in mystery these days though. Had a friend who went to Minsk and said it was weird.

>>1692230
No

>>1692230
No. Don't be stupid. Do not pass this stupidity onto others.

I mean, classical artwork is stated as one of the purposes of this board right there in the sticky. If you're suggesting I go to /ic/ I can assure you I'm far less likely to find what I'm looking for there.

>>1692142
I am saying if you are looking for books than you are in the wrong fucking place.

How the fuck do you expect every school to teach ALL of history like you except? I mean you surely aren't picking the Byzantine Empire due to subjective reasons right? You honestly expect schools to teach the whole of human history in the short period they have their students for. Not just picking the parts of history which are more relevant in today's society attempting to light a spark in the student to pursue it further.

I took a humanities class and if I remember right we spent several weeks studying Byzatine art, so you're wrong OP

>>1692054
Forgot to add.

Are you meant to expect anything else from a frog poster?

I like Stirner because now I don't feel guilty when I sneak my own food into the theater

they'd have had an internal civil war amongst their own people, as they don't have a unified identity outside of trying to kill jews.

It couldn't have happened. The Zionist movement had become so strong in the wake of WW2 and the Holocaust (whether you think it didn't happen or not) that the creation of a Jewish state in what was once the Jewish homeland seemed a natural course of action to many people. It was like what the US did with Manifest Destiny and the westward expansion. Millions of Jews after WW2 felt entitled to a reclamation of the holy land and divinely obligated to stake such a claim. If, in an alternate reality, an Arabic Palestinian state was created without Jewish presence, the entire Zionist movement that had been building since the late 1800s and atrocities committed against European Jews (again, assuming the holocaust was real at the risk of getting memed) would have had to have not existed.

why would they want to burn in hell?

Some were, some weren't. It varied by country and by individual.
