>Also, why was it such a shitshow?

Literally because of dysentry. Many English longbowmen went to battle without any pants on because they couldn't stop shitting.

Call it the American Rebellion instead of the American Revolution, this is actually guaranteed to trigger liberals and conservatives alike.

They were an innovating force with a string of good leaders and a growing income base.

>>1639267
Could you elaborate on where that income base was coming from?

I meant to say "so" in case you haven't figured it out.

Because "Existence hinges on my thinking about it and I can prove everything from first principles because I'm a logical god" is deeply appealing to adolescent boys and gets lots them into philosophy.

>They took the last name El-Chemor, and became a prestigious house among Lebanon’s nobility. They ruled Sheikdoms in a few cities of Lebanon, but refused to speak Arabic due to persecution brought on by the Islamic Conquests. Some Ghassanids migrated to Brazil, among many other Lebanon Christians, and have become prominient there as well. This leads to their present day history, where many successful and famous Arab Christians are said to be descended from the Ghassanids, such as Shakira, Selma Hayek, Carlos Slim, and many others. Today, their motives are neither political nor religious, but the promotion of Christians in the Middle East, and the preservation of peace in the area. The heir Prince Gharios is officially recognized by the United Nations, and has received several secular as well as religious recognitions, such as being knighted a member of the Order of Saint-Michael. He has held audience with the Pope several times, and is well known for his promotion of peace and tolerance in the Middle East, as well as a passion for Aikido. This is the link to the House of Ghassan; http://www.royalghassan.org/royal-family.html Note that Prince Gharios also has his own webpage.

Interesting desu

I'm obviously disregarding the factors that would make one WANT to kill oneself, and focusing on the act itself; but i do think cause is just as important. for example,

If life is pointless, and one accepts that life is pointless, and one can't assign a purpose TO life, then the conclusion can be reached to kill yourself.

Or maybe one has depression of some sort.

Kierkegaard or Camus might disagree with the decision to kill the self, wagering that is an unacceptable solution, or a very simplistic and "easy way out" but if one reasons that life isn't going to improve and that there is no reason to exist or be alive, then is suicide NOT the most logical and reasonable conclusion?

>>1639157
I hardly think killing yourself is the ultimate solution by any stretch of the imagination. Where did this notion that humans must serve some purpose larger than themselves come to be? Find a purpose, find a hobby, do something with your life that YOU want to do.

With respect to Abrahamic religions and the repercussions of suicide, I don't really know the specific answer, apart from the fact that it is discouraged.

The Taoists did appear profligate to the more worldly confucian scholars, kek.

Which is why Taoist cults are popularly associated with magicians and hermits.

Taoism. Less apologetics for the Chinese state.

I like both.. Taoism is more like a help to conceive the human body and the universe while confucianism provided us with a set of rules that help managing families or government.
I see truth in both of them and dontbthink of them as mutually exclusive.

do you contemplate suicide 24/7 ?

>Write works to fight against nihlism in a world where god is dead
>200 years later get called a nihlist in a taiwanese basket weaving board.

Honestly I have no clue.
A wild guess for me would be Nietzsche as well.
Random internet quiz suggests so as well, haha.
If his philosophy was his very own, then we might have something in common as I too, live by the philosophy of own.

Didn't have the technology desu, how are you gonna co ordinate millions of people on the other side of the world and stop them forming their own nations, it would be a feudalist shitshow

there was never full colonization, just seaports with roads and railways to the mines and plantations

Because before this century the european not have the resources and the enough supremacy technology to do it. So, we have to know that some parts of Africa had been colonised before but nothinh in the deep land
