Who do you think merked this guy? I say Oswald honestly.
Now whether or not Oswald was an asset or informant for someone is up for debate I think. I don't believe he was an outright agent but still had a weird fucking past. But I believe he did ultimately pull the trigger like they said.
He was so obviously a hitman ordered by a cabal of political and military leaders to kill Kennedy and plant Johnson on the throne.
I think that if the Illuminati had done it, they would have picked someone who wasn't a total dipshit.
Like, Oswald didn't own a car. He had to roll up his rifle in a carpet and carry it in his arms while one of his coworkers drove him into town.
And this isn't even getting into the part where he defected to the USSR, cut himself to get attention from the Soviets (not even kidding) and then got tired of the shitty factory job they gave him, so he came back, hoping he'd get attention for doing that.
If I were a conspirator, I wouldn't rely on a guy who's liable to drop the rifle in the middle of the car ride and have an awkward conversation with his buddy, and then go to the FBI so he can get more attention as the guy who saved the president.

The problem I have with that is that Kennedy was ultimately fine going along with the CIA in deposing Castro in the long run. He just didn't like not having his fingers in every part of the operation. Lots of Kennedy's advisers stayed on through Johnson with no issue.

Most logical theologian out there.
While he was very 'religious' he destroyed the idea that the churches have a monopoly on these ideas of god. He led me to find my god, or at least being the search for him.
>Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will also regret that; hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the sum and substance of all philosophy. It is only at certain moments that I view everything acterno modo, as Spinoza says, but I live constantly aeterno modo. There are many who think that they live thus, because after having done the one or the other, they combine or mediate the opposites. But this is a misunderstanding: for the true eternity does not lie behind either/or, but before it. Hence, their eternity will be a painful succession of temporal moments, for they will be consumed by a two-fold regret.

Why are Hadiths considered so important? Mohammad was supposed to be just a man, and all men are fallible. The Koran is supposed to be the Word of God, shouldn't that be the only thing that matters? Why should sayings by Mohammad carry such great weight if they aren't in the Koran?
because the direct word of god says that muhammad is a "beautiful example to humanity" and similar things, so even if it isn't the word of God, if muhammad said it or did it then it is good for you to do it.
and yes he both practices and condones child marriage and paedophilia
>>1674366
Does it say that he is a perfect example? I know semantics, but beautiful can still be flawed.
>>1674347
It is a somewhat gray area, most scholars agree that following the Sahhih (Confirmed) Hadiths is a good thing. This is because although Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) isn't worshipped or idolised, his actions and words are still highly respected - so imitating his actions and considered following the Sunnah (his way of doing things) can only be a good thing according to scholars.
/sci/ told me to come here.
Hungarian here.
I did a DNA test and discovered there is .1% Yakut.
My question is, is this from western migration of Yakut to the ancient Hungarian land east of the Ural Mountains? Or is that too long ago for any genetic material to be present?
The other possibility, is Yakut soldiers in the Mongol armies enjoyed the "spoils of war" during the Battle of Mohi in 1241? Maybe. That is closer to a better possibility.

Don't be upset just accept it
>marco polo knew it kung fu
what
is this true ?
It never comes up in any of Polo's works. But, sure, he was part of the Khan's court and if he wanted to handle himself well he might learn the ways of kung fu. Many European whites did so when they lived abroad in the Far East.
No but that series is GOAT, basically Rome in the East
>>1674295
Its a fictional historical story.
Just don't take the series as literal interpretation of how things really went.
I mean seriously. A Christian Crusader army in Mongolia when they haven't take the holy land back.
Still as fiction its pretty decent story.

I haven't taken communion or so much as attended mass since I was a kid over a decade ago. How badly did I screw up?

Oh yeah???
You should've confessed first, my dude.

Just make sure you admit your mistake in confession before you do it again

Is liberalism dying? Notice the rise of the alt-right and the progressives, both of which are against traditional liberal positions like individual rights and free trade.
I don't think you understand the alt-right. NRx, yes, but the alt-right are just populists and dissatisfied "anti neo-con" Republicans. They still participate and support democracy, and American Republican values and so are liberal.
If you were anti liberal you would not say "Make America Great Again", you would say that America was never great, since it is founded on liberal humanist values. True anti liberals puke at the deceleration of independence.
Your petty American squabbles are nothing compared to the real threat to "liberty" in this century: Sino-Capitalism and mass automation. I suggest you put aside such childish concerns as Trump or feminism and look East.
If you get even half of your political "information" from 4chan then you literally have no idea what's going on in the world. You live in a delusional reality created by a self-reinforcing chamber of memes and bait. Both of these posts
>>1674212

are cartoon-levels of understanding. Real life is not one of your animes. Just because you see the same memes on /pol/ every day doesn't mean any of that shit has anything to do with reality. Please read Rawls and Nozick and the newspaper and then you can talk about real politics.

Is there a historical reason why England is a different time zone than the continent?
Greenwich meridian casually passes through Greenwich
>>1674204
Its not part of Europe.
France and Belgium got this time zone in autumn 1940
>muh nazi occupation
and forgot to back in 1945
Spain got this time before nazi occupied west Europe in March 1940
>muh sucking Hitler's balls
and forgot to back in 1945
Continental Europe changed not England
England can't stand any change

Was Mexico justified in the Mexican-American war?
>>1674157
I mean... we have evidence that the initial troop contact happened on American soil, not Mexican, with Mexican troops firing on American ones so... yeah, it was justified.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thornton_Affair
>>1674157
Not really. But it doesn't really matter because at the time conquest of another's land for resources was still deemed an acceptable practice
I know very little about this
Can I get a red pill and some possible discussion over it? Seems rather interesting
Muscle flexing during a troubled time in central america, nothing else.
Cubans were building an airstrip, supposedly for an international airport, but the military tought it could serve soviet bombers and the usual bullshit.
>>1674109
But there were soviet weapons on the island, and there was a (communist?) coup, was there not?
Now I agree it's definite muscle flexing, the US had to restore some respect after Vietnam
>>1674117
yeah, there were soviet weapons (like the AAA in the pic and some armored vehicles) taken there by the cuban army in support of the granadian govt, nothing even remotely like the cuban missile crisis

Fuck.
>>1674073
>What happened here?
Bunch of former slaves, funded by rich white people created a state in Africa where it was believed that they would not suffer discrimination due to the color of the former slave's skin. The former slaves celebrated their freedom by ruling over and discriminating against the locals until they suffered a full blown coup and ethnic violence.
>Was it whitey's fault?
For sending the former slaves? Yes. For the quasi apartheid state they set up? No, blame the former slaves and their decedents.
>Was it autism?
Sure. Why not?

Why did the United States stop practicing Keynesian economics and instead switched to neoliberalism?
Due to the slowdown in the 70s, and as a reaction against Marxism.
>>1673932
They still practice Keynesian economics, at least in some ways. The government still spends during recessions, it's just where it spends that separates right from left in the US.
That said, politicians still like to believe that the economy is on the far side of the Laffer curve, even though the last 30 years show that's not true.
So we're neoliberals when things are good and Keynesians when things are bad, which makes a lot of debt.

Why couldn't Rome take Germania?
They didn't want to. Not worth the effort desu
Because this gullible retard named Quinctilius Varus existed.
Difficult to navigate and a logistical nightmare for a campaign. You'd need native support and Arminius showed you can never trust a fucking german
