Why does Zen Mind Beginners Mind annoy me so much? Is this just pure shite have I been memed?
It just reads like pseudo-philosophy from a "spiritual" edgy 12 year old. Or something a coked up "positive energy" californian val girl would spew out of her vagina to sound 2deep4u.

So what is your real non-meme counter argument to so called deep for you statements? Seems like you just hate them for saying something smart.
I think you're just a pretentious dumbass OP
Why is accepting evolution still such a huge issue in America? Is it because of the education system? Is it because it's too complicated or difficult to understand or fathom? Or is something else the issue? People say it's religion, but Christianity shouldn't conflict with evolution at all.
>>1627913
Because it's a bullshit lie.
>>1627918
It's obviously not a "lie"
>>1627913
>Why is accepting evolution still such a huge issue in America?
Because Southern Baptists never got the memo that biblical literalism is bullshit that most Christians abandoned more than a thousand years ago.
What if Gregor Strasser had become reichskanzler and not Hitler? What if the more left-leaning faction of the NSDAP had emerged as the dominant force of the party?
Would Europeans live in a communist utopia now?
Imagine if Soviet Union and Germany would have indeed teamed up and not just signed a treaty to buy time. Yeah we would pretty much be working in the factories now comrade.

Operation Unthinkable should have become reality. Get rid of the Krauts and commieshits in one go.

The regime's economic policies didn't change the everyday lives of the serfs very much, though the wars they started did.
The Roman Empire had a LOT of slaves. Was it Christianity that largely ended this immense scale of abject slavery in Europe?
>>1627620
are you implying christian slave revolts were the cause of the fall of the roman empire? i think its more correlative
>>1627620
No.
>873 AD: Pope John VIII commanded under penalty of sin that all Christians who hold other Christians as slaves must set them free.
Yes.
I was recently told that Hungarians aren't slavs but are instead an ethnic group called Magyars and are some kind of Uralic people.
I found this interesting and since I'm half Hungarian I'm curious, what can /his/ tell me about the Magyars and their origins?
>>1627528
>another muh heritage american
google/wikipedia it
>>1627546
I did, nothing was too revealing about where they came from and what their early history was.
>>1627528
>Hungarians aren't slavs but are instead an ethnic group called Magyars
that'd be correct
congrats, part of your family is now special snowflake, because Magyars are a non-indo-european people, like you said, uralic, who traveled to Hungary from central-ish russia and are related to Finns, Sami, Estonians, and a couple other bumfuck tribes around the Ural mountains.
Is this an accurate representation of a British squad?
from a colonial regiment maybe

Queen Ellizabeth died as a virgin

No she didn't. She was called "virging queen" because she never married, but she shagged few lads.
Let me get this straight

France was a fucking nationalist mess in the 19th century.
He did a good job though, if it wasn't for those meddling Prussians.

Louis-Napoleon spoke with a swiss accent, and because of that (not only but you get the point), many people of the right wing ("parti de l'ordre") thought he would be easy to manipulate. He plays his cards really well. He had written a book about the poors, gaining their sympathy. Slowly he distanced himself from the parti de l'ordre and their unpopular measures, and appointed his friends at the right places. His coup d'état was very well organized, despite some resistance in the rest of France.
>>1627218
Napoleon the Lesser's coup was just for personal power as he had no vision and made nothing out of France.
How would you fix the Holy Roman Empire between 1648 and 1806?
why? it wasn't broken
>>1627168
>1648
You would need to go way back in time, to Barbarossa's time and tell him to stay away from the water. Which wouldn't be much of a deal anyway.
Or better, further back to the Henrys times and advice them to stop trying to cuck the Pope, cause he gonna fuck your shit up.
Nuke it
How come Thailand become the only south east asian country to never be colonised? what would happen to other SEA countries if they never got colonised? I figured history of places like Singapore and Philippine for example would be fastly different
also general SEA thread I guess
>How come Thailand become the only south east asian country to never be colonised?
they were left alone more because of their function as a buffer between french indochina and british india. also southern thailand were held by the brits i think
>>1626794
Luck.
Brits expanded into Burma and French took Indochina. Figured out that Thailand could just be itself to avoid conflict.
Though the French were quite dickish to the Thai since they stole bits of their realm. Part of the reason why Thailand (Foolishly) entered the war on Japan's side in WWII.
>>1626794
>what would happen to other SEA countries if they never got colonised? I figured history of places like Singapore and Philippine for example would be fastly different
Well, for one thing, there would be no such thing as Philippines or Singapore(as we know them).
Thailand, Burma, and Vietnam would still be there, ruled by their monarchies, while """"""Malaysia""""" """"""""""Indonesia""""""""""" and the """"""""""Philippines""""""""" wouldn't exist at all. In their place would be hegemonic city states, small tribal kingdoms, and semi-nomadic tribesmen in between.
Was democracy a mistake?
