A lot of people accuse John Chrysostom of being an anti-Semite.
What's the opinion of the Orthodox defense of him (it gets really started 39 minutes in): http://orthodoxbiblestudy.info/st-john-chrysostom-anti-semite/
?
>>1675421
Chrysostom is widely used (during the sermon) by the eastern and oriental orthodox priests.
>>1675475
He's referring to what happened in the aftermath of Bar Kokhba.

who gives a fuck who is and isn't an anti-semite
So why the fondness for recruiting criminals again?
I know they were expected to die on the front lines. But this mofo just kept adding worse and worse criminals as the war went. The most degenerate (seriously) ponces Germany had to offer. For what feasible reason? What exactly went on in this troglodyte's head that made him consider this idea and say to himself "yeah, yeah, that seems reasonable?" And the results were just as you would expect them to be. All to the point that even other divisions of the SS feared them.
With that being said, has anything like the Dirlewanger Band of Merry Rapists and Pillagers ever happened before in history? I don't want to believe this was an isolated incident.
>>1673352
They needed men. Killers wouldn't have reservations about traipsing through Eastern Europe and murdering civilians
>>1673352
Because all the more reliable sources of manpower had already either been drafted or were in some sort of essential non-combat function already.
You recruit criminals because you're out of better options.
>>1673352
Because he was a degenerate criminal himself.

Lets discuss sport history. I don't see it discussed enough on /his/.
> I don't see it discussed enough
Good.
Fucking hate it when college/uni starts up again.
Is there anywhere I can watch a modern reenactment of an ancient sport being played like that Mesoamerican Ball Game or Harpastum? Similarly, is there anywhere I can watch a reenactment of ancient olympics?
BASKETBALL IS A PERFECT SPORT; IT IS INTEGRAL, REQUIRING AEROBIC, AND ANAEROBIC, EXERTION, BESIDE EXERCISING REFLEX REACTIONS, AND EYEHAND COORDINATION —ALSO, IT CAN BE PLAYED OUTDOORS, OR INDOORS, IT REQUIRES RELATIVELY LITTLE SPACE, AND IT CAN BE PLAYED BY ONE PERSON.
THE ONLY FLAWS ARE MINOR, AND INCONSEQUENTIAL TO ITS PERFECT STATUS; EXEMPLI GRATIA; THE REQUIREMENT FOR A FLAT LEVEL SURFACE, AND A RINGED POST.

Is this the origin of Jews?

>Is this the origin of Jews?
As we know them, yes.
Wow he's fucking hot as shit. What's his name.
Anyway yes, that's what Ashkenazi Jews genetically are. They can be modelled as roughly 1/2 Tuscan 1/2 Lebanese or something like that.

yes but they originally wouldn't have looked very different to european jews

>JK there's actually three of me
YHWH is Satan
Trinity does not include YHWH
Probably it was originally interpreted as "Hear, O Israel, YHWH is our God, YHWH alone" but then the Jews got buttmad at Christians and started interpreting it the other way.
>>1675169
Islam only believes in one god just like the Jews. What makes Christianity so different and edgy?
Is he the most benevolent conqueror?
>Napoleon held out the hope of an eventually independent, unified nation-state and thereby kindled the sparks of Italian nationalism. To that end, the day after his arrival in Milan, he declared the creation of a Lombardic Republic. It would be governed by Italian pro-French giacobini (Jacobins, or ‘patriots’) and he encouraged political clubs to mushroom throughout the region (the one in Milan soon included eight hundred lawyers and merchants). He also abolished Austrian governing institutions, reformed Pavia University, held provisional municipal elections, founded a National Guard and conferred with the leading Milanese advocate of Italian unification, Francesco Melzi d’Eril, to whom he handed over as much power as possible.
>Reforms that Napoleon imposed on the newly conquered territories included the abolition of internal tariffs, which helped to stimulate economic development, the ending of noble assemblies and other centres of feudal privilege, financial restructurings aimed at bringing down state debt, ending the restrictive guild system, imposing religious toleration, closing the ghettos and allowing Jews to live anywhere, and sometimes nationalizing Church property. These modernizing measures, which were repeated in most of the territories he conquered over the coming decade, were applauded by middle-class progressives in many lands beyond France, including by people who hated Napoleon. Voltaire’s view that European civilization was on a progressive course was fairly universally held in France in Napoleon’s time, and underlay his civilizing mission.
>>1675140
Exactly. Based Napoleon was not a conqueror but a liberator.
>>1675140
>Is he the most benevolent conqueror?
Almost certainly yes.

Let's talk about disease and epidemics in history. Questions, speculation, how they affected societies and the development of medicine, etc.
Also, how did people try to fight or mitigate infections not severe enough to require amputation or that didn't immediately kill people before antibiotics? I'm specially curious about WW1 since I've never read many numbers or articles on how they treated the thousands of daily wounded.
I've always been pretty spooked by this scene, I wonder how it was to live in a city that was essentially doomed back when plagues hit, it must have been awful to see people driven to literal insanity over the horror of the sickness spreading and killing all in its path.

>why didn' Austri recieved the flak Germany did after WWI?
Look at a map of Europe in 1914 and then one from 1919. They were destroyed as a great power and the economic order of Central Europe was totally rearranged in the wake of the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Furthermore, they were not allowed to join Germany after the war, despite the Wilsonian "ideals" of self determination for all nations. Austrians often perceived themselves as Germans in a part of a large empire. When the empire was left, they were just Germans, but denied the ability to join the German nation state and instead set afloat to manage themselves in the wake of WWI.
>>1674583
But they were. They were occupied by all four major powers and were literally forced to declare neutrality in all future European affairs. They only seem to have come off lightly because the Soviet Union didn't make their sector independent like they did in Germany.
