Can any Catholic explain why this is makes sense?
>"Eastern Catholics" commemorate Mark of Ephesus
>"Syro-Malabar Catholics" not only commemorate "Saint" Nestorius, they actually use a liturgy ascribed to him
Do Catholics literally not care about doctrinal issue so long as you say the Pope is the boss?
>>1658444
All the eastern churches at least nominally subscribe to a roman Catholic understanding of Dogma, aside from that they can pretty much do whatever they want
The church is not powerful enough to enforce strict dogmatic following anymore. If they pressure the eastern churches, they might just split off
>>1658480
How is that the Orthodox can maintain unity of doctrine better than Catholics, who have a Pope? Isn't the point of the Pope to ensure Catholics don't have to play the Anglican game of saying doctrine doesn't matter?
Why was Jacob such an asshole to Esau?
>>1658344
I don't know if it's a motivation entirely on its own, but at least in the original Hebrew, Esau talks like some sort of semi-retarded barbarian.
For instance, in the story where Esau sells his birthright to Jacob in Genesis 25, he literally says in 25:30
הַלְעִיטֵנִי נָא מִן-הָאָדֹם הָאָדֹם הַזֶּה
Which again, if we translated it at its most basic, would be
>Let me swallow please, that red, the red in that bowl.
Where most other biblical characters speak with a fair degree of precision and eloquence, Esau usually refers to things by their color or their shape or broad descriptions rather than by names.
>>1658369
You'd think a man would show pity on his retarded brother, though.
>>1658425
True, but don't forget, said brother was trying to assert his leadership and claiming the firstborn right, which was a big deal in old Semitic culture. It's best for the family if someone like that isn't running things.
Is the NAP the greatest political/philosophical concept of our time?
Who's going to enforce it?
The only way NAP can be achieved is to make an aggression to be deadly for aggressor and even in that case, you just switch to micro-aggression as it wouldn't be banned.
No, God is.

How is it that Turkics came to dominate so much of the middle east?
>>1658220
Arabs are incompetent.
Also Iran in particular.
>>1658220
Arab caliphates trusted no arabs or persians in the army. So they used turkish slaves who they did convert. After a time they compromised huge chunks of the army and just took over.
So what happened to the Barca family after the second punic war? Did they go into exile along with Hannibal, or did they remain in the city itself until its destruction?
>>1658198
Almost certainly many of them were either killed or went into exile after the 3rd War as leading aristocrats in Qart-Hadast itself. Only Hannibal himself is said to have gone into voluntary exile, which suggests his policies post-Second Punic War were unpopular, not his family. A powerful noble family with holdings across the former Carthaginian colonies would likely have had some survivors from the final destruction of the city itself. One could presume that some Barcids survived in Punic speaking territories under the Romans in relatively high positions due to their wealth and prestigious name. Some may have almost certainly acquired citizenship. There may even have been Barcids surviving down as a distinct unit until the Vandals conquered the province of Africa, potentially even still possessing the Punic or African Romance languages.
Honestly we have no idea of knowing.

I took a philosophy 101 course, and in that course we read a short story about men trapped being trapped in a cave. The only thing they know exists is their own shadow but one of them gets free and has to make a decision about whether to travel outside of the cave into the unknown or stay in his bubble where he's comfortable. I'm pretty sure I'm summarizing badly, but I want to link my girl to it because we just watched The Truman Show and it made me think of that story.
Only problem is I can't remember who wrote it or what it's called. Could one of you fine gentleman link me if you know the story I'm referring to?
>>1658190
Plato's allegory of the cave.

Thanks mate
This is now a Plato thread if the board doesn't want it to just die

It's fine to just let a thread die. Death begets life.
Reminder that there was never any plan to round up and deport black people after the Civil War.
While there were efforts to encourage emigration of freed slaves """""back""""" to Africa, it was on a strictly voluntary basis. President Lincoln himself initially seemed to support this effort, but due to several factors (including a lack of enthusiasm from prominent black Americans such as Frederick Douglass), abandoned this idea during the Civil War. In his final public address, Lincoln supported the idea of black suffrage, which some believe drove John Wilkes Booth (who was in attendance) to assassinate him.
Alt-right memes are NOT history.
Of course it's a deep and nuanced issue (like all of history) and can not be reduced to memes, despite both sides' attempts to do so.

So explain Liberia then OP?

Sometimes, when you actually read the posts, you find the answers right there.
In little over a month it will be the 950th anniversary of the eternal cucking of the Anglo.
How do you plan to celebrate the removal of primitive Anglo culture and the superior French influence.
>>1657867
Go to England and fight Chavs on some hill I suppose.
>>1657867
are modern day English have more bloodline of Saxons, Normans, or native Celts?
I suppose I'll start if off then:
> Normans
> French
> removal of a culture
> planting a tiny minority of rulers
Anyone know where I could find a PDF of this book? I found this:
http://unapart.exxl.pl/isbn-0205168558-a-history-of-asia-7th-edition-pdf-epub/?i=1
but there's a warning message when I try to download it. Think it's safe?
>>1657619
go to your campus library and take pictures of the book's pages
>>1657632
Unfortunately, it's not even in my campus library. It's in the campus bookstore sealed up in plastic wrap.

I am English.
I studied history until age 16.
I remember when being taught about WW1 , the syllabus taught about how the war started between Austria-hungary, germany, and the triple entente, but it never explained or taught how the ottoman empire entered the war.
was it the same in your country's highschool history teaching of WW1 ?
Do you think the reason is because the reasons and sequence of events behind the ottoman empire entering the war is too much of a convoluted clusterfuck to explain to highschoolers?
>>1657538
Yes, it was the same way at my school back in the day.
I think it's because the Ottoman Empire does not exist anymore and would hard to catch any interest from Western Highschoolers. They can barely listen to their own history as it is
>>1657538
>is too much of a convoluted clusterfuck
>Hates Russia
>Hates Britain
>in love with Germany because of the former two
Uh, I mean... it isn't that complicated really.
>>1657538
They were friendly with Germany though most of the Ottoman government wanted to stay out, with the exception of a war obsessed minister, Enver Pasha. German ships however asked to be allowed access to the Dardanelles which due to the diplomatic situation effectively pressured the Turks to join WW1 on their side.
What does /his/ think of The Masked Arab? He's apparently an ex-Muslim who tries to refute apologists using Islamic primary sources and exegesis from early Islamic scholars.
>>1657468
The same as any person whose entire identity is wrapped up in polemics: not very useful if you're not already on the choir of either team.
>>1657496
He does say that he is trying to refute apologetics and try and not let people sweep things under the rug by saying "That has nothing to do with Islam."
Does he quote the Qur'an and ahadith in Arabic?
What exactly made WW1 so terrible, compared to the wars that came before and after?
Modern war equipment + outdated battle tactics. Made it long and slow but lethal at the same time.
>>1657469
>outdated battle tactics
i want this meme to die
>>1657461
Machine guns, very long range artillery and not very mobile units to pierce enemy lines with.
But in general, tactics weren't outdated. The tactics were perfectly suited to that kind of warfare.
What does /his/ think of Extra History? Are their series accurate?
Their latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfZWu6PsUHI
>>1657403
I liked the one about the jew guy that lived with the moors, espeacially because they didn't fall for "muh multicultural paradise of muslim Spain"
they're alright as a general overview of events, but they do sacrifice details for the sake of entertainment value for views.
but a lot of their videos did get me interested in delving deeper into the subject, their series on Sengoku Japan especially got me interested in the time period and got me to read more about it.
definitely not documentary-worthy material, but they really aren't going for that to begin with.
they could be better about listing their sources though like Great War channel does.
>>1657458
I had never heard of Samuel NaHagid or Federico da Montefeltro or John Snow before EC, so I'm pretty thankful to them for introducing me to them. It just annoys that there are these fascinating stories out there that I'll never know because the people and events are on a smaller scale. I wish there was a Big Book of Insteresting Historical Personages from various time periods and places.
Beyond that, what >>1657501 said. Their great for introducing you to a certain person or event, but if any particular subject they bring up interested you, you really should check out more material on it, because they have to cut out a lot of interesting details for the sake of giving you the full story in just a handful of five-minute videos. What I really like about them is that they'll make a video talking about their mistakes and correcting themselves after every piece.
