Apart from dodging getting burned on the stake by the papacy, what made him so different from earlier reformers?
Was it that it occurred in the HRE where peopled needed an excuse to show the emperor the middle finger?
The king who allowed him his freedom to operate benefited from the attention he drew to the region iirc
Also, the church was tithing king, commoner, and peasant. A lot of people had good reason to stop wealth from leaving Germany and going into Italian coffers. Right time, right place, right message.

He translated the Bible into German and existed after Guttemberg so he could spread his translation easier
He called the jews out on their shit unlike all the other christian good goy sheeple before him
I'm a bit confused as to why the Roman's under Pontius Pilate put Jesus to death following the trial.
Jesus was first brought to the Sanhedrin court, a court of Jewish elders who found him guilty of Blasphemy, Claiming to be the King of the Jews and plotting to bring down the Roman empire. This trial was merely a formality and had no judiciary power whatsoever.
Jesus was then taken to King Herod to ascertain if the plotting against the Roman empire accusation had merit. Herod concluded that it didn't.
Jesus was then taken to a real court with authority under Pontius Pilate. Pilate was only concerned about the 3rd accusation as the blaspheming against the Jewish god or claiming to be the King of the Jews was not a crime under Roman law. Pilate found Jesus innocent of any crimes of plotting against the Roman empire.
So why wasn't that the end of it? The court has returned a not guilty verdict end of story?
The bible talks about how crowds of Jews demanded Jesus's death, but when do crowds have the authority to overturn a Roman Prefects decision? Why didn't Pilate just say to the crowd "Yeah fuck off we're not killing an innocent man". Instead he pretty much agrees to go along with the execution even though he claims he's "washing his hands" of it.
Since the Romans carried out the execution, and they were under the command of Pilate, ultimately he must have agreed to kill Jesus.
So why?
Pilate's job was to keep his area quiet and free of revolt. He'd been warned at least once already about the Jewish population getting out of hand and just wanted to keep them happy.
The real question is why people try to shift blame for Christ's death onto the Romans.
>>1678151
Because the gospels description of Pilot and how it went down is totally unbelievable.
>>1678137
>So why?
it was the fucking jews, it's not that hard
Was she really that bad?
As an actress? she was decent. The masses loved her.
But Peron 2nd wife Isabel was literally a hooker and ended up governing Argentina

>mfw that happened twice
Women shouldn't be able to occupy political charges
>>1678329
how twice? Eva never was president or minister, she only was a figurehead for some welfare programs and acted as a "diplomat" on an european tour just for PR
Dunno how Isabel ended up president, probably Peron was senile.
Is it degenerate to splice cheap cannon sound effects into a symphony piece?
That depends on two factors
>does it hurt somebodies feelings
>if yes, does that person have an autism spectrum disorder
If both of these conditions are met, whatever you are doing is "degenerate"
>>1678042
Well, it's 2016. Where is an orchestra going to get actual, working cannon? And then, what idiot will actually give permission to shoot them during a show or recording session?
>>1678058
In the US, black powder cannons are unregulated because muh heritage.
I think there are still some companies who make proper field guns with the carriage and everything. It's expensive though.
Red-pill me on King-sized beds. Does anyone here have one? Is it good or bad? Is it degenerate?
If you can put it in a historical context, please do.
It's gonna be awfully lonely if you're sleeping alone.
Which we both know you will be.

its comfy.
It's a big bed

Do you think there is any real merit in learning Manx? My uncle is fluent in the thing and has been talking about spreading his knowledge down through the generations, but no one is obliging him. I have something of a knack for language, but nothing Celtic.
So, should I take my uncle up on his offer on learning Manx?
>>1677876
Absolutely.
>>1677882
I was thinking about learning Sanskrit in the spring and I imagine I wouldn't be able to if I had Manx in my head. Do you think it's better to learn than Sanskrit?
>>1677876
Does he have a Manx cat?
I hope you speak a language outside your language family, anon.
I realy do.
>>1677736
>language family
That's a very generic concept anon. Are you implying that an english speaker should know a non germanic language? Or a non indoeuropean language?
>>1677736
I do. English.

this, please clarify
Can you refute solipsism?

The world and your interpretation of it stays the same whether or not solipsism is true. It should be irrelevant to you.

>Russians consider themselves the 'Third Rome' and the inheritors of Byzantium
Do they not realize they were literally duped into discarding their own native paganism and culture due to the machinations of Byzantine political maneuvering?
>>1677501
Ivan IV made that claim because he was a grandson of a Byzantine princess (Sophia Palaiologina), thus having a claim to the title.
>>1677501
>Russians consider themselves the 'Third Rome' and the inheritors of Byzantium
Funny because Russia has the largest muslim population in Europe. Moscow is almost as much of an islamic shithole as London is.
>>1677925
False. Largest Muslim population, percentage wise is Albania, Bosnia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Kosovo if you consider it a state.
Absolute numbers mean nothing, Russian Muslims are there for centuries and they are 7-10% of population.
Why are patriarchal societies so successful while matriarchal societies always crash and burn?
Because Matriarchal societies had to compete with Patriarchal societies.
>>1677465
Sounds like communism
>>1677462
As far as I know anthropologists have failed to identify a single matriarchal society in human beings. The closest we've got are bonobo chimps, who seem to be matriarchal and resolve conflict through sex rather than violence. It generally seems to be quite peaceful.
Why didn't Russia or any other great power invade Scandinavia and take it over? How hard could it be?
>>1677293
Nobody cared. Except for Russia about Finland.
>>1677293
Because they got recked by Sweden and Finland
>Why didn't X or Y European country invade and permanently claim as it's own Z European country
The Peace of Westphalia, that's why.
Also Finland has had varrying degrees of autonomy from Russia over the years.
Why were Roman replicas of Greek statues considered to be inferior to its original design?
>>1677278
By who? The Romans themselves? By the Greeks?
The Romans were Greekaboos. The Greeks considered Romans to be barbarians.
>>1677302
By historians today
Somebody once told me that the Greeks were so good at making statues and knowing the body that they could make statues of men that stood on their own. The Romans made statues that needed a structure to help them stand, ie a post or a piece clothing that had a metal rod holding the statue up. Can anybody confirm or deny this w/ source?

How and when did Japan's population grow so fast?
Technology
A fairly isolated country for the majority of its existence. This meant that very few conflicts with outsiders happened. The ones that did happen throughout its History were largely outside of Japan.
There were many internal conflicts, but they were in majority mostly localized. Small armed conflicts between the opposing factions. Even famous wars that would pave the way to the famous Sengoku were very localized.
The Sengoku period also only saw major engagements in its final moments
Japan also had a very early urbanization. That probably did well when Japan industrialized itself. Food was probably made easier to find.
I don't know about plagues there.
The only moment I know of a heavy toll being placed on their population is in WWII.
This is only based on the fairly general knowledge that I have of the country.
>>1677260
rice is very dense in nutrients. There was a huge population explosion in the edo period as more land was cultivated and superior farming techniques developed
Why Hitler considered to be more evil than guys like Mao even if they killed even more people?
Jews
Because he fought the bankers aka the NWO.
And these bankers rule over us.
Hitler killed white people.
