Should prostitution be seen as something shameful whether your a hooker yourself or use their services?
>should
Should it be seen as shameful? Absolutely.
Should it be illegal and punishable? No.
No. It's just women or men selling a service.
What was the first war when camouflage became very relevant in combat?
>>1617199
WW1 depending on how you define "very relevant"
The Boer War
Cover yourself in mud or dirt and make yourself harder to be seen, so as usual you have to go all the way back to prehistory
What really happened on the "concentration camps"? I have always found strange the idea of wasting resources on killing jews, black people, political opponents... when you're at war. I feel more reasonable the argument that they died of famine and diseases like typhus.
Gathering up your most productive citizens is already a waste, IMO, but priorities shift when hating them is the centerpiece of your ideology. I guess Nazis were a bit misguided!
But anyhoo, even at death camps they would sort them into those who could do useful forced labor before being killed and those who would be killed right away.

As far as im aware most of the jews that got gassed were bums living in poor conditions. Not every jew gets to be a merchant or a banker. The richer ones that had half a brain left Germany ages ago. It was mainly the poor jews that were you know, too poor to move that got rounded up.

would/could a private company buy the sentinel islands or an isolated part of the amazons and force the natives away in a libertarian society? or would it violate the NAP

anarchism is the all encompassing ideology of human interaction
arguementum ad baculum is what dictates History (to distinguish its general use to the capitalised version to which E H Carr makes reference in his book - What Is History?)
>>1616951
whats your point?
>>1616920
Squatter rights, I guess. They've been there for centuries, so I guess they would have first rights to the land.
Why is it that there are no records of exclusive homosexuality prior to the modern period?

Naval power allows you to concentrate your forces anywhere along coasts you have access to.

The Dutch as a colonial empire isnt powerful really.
Bits of it were stolen by the Brits and natives were often confident in pushing it around. The Chinese fucked them up twice for example, and one of those efforts was led by a pirate lord.

What is the value of sexual self control?
What is there to lose from promiscuity?
Why should teenagers not have sex with anonymous adults?
>>1616307
Let me ask you this?
Have you had sex?
If so, what was your experience? Was it good, bad or weird?
>>1616311
I haven't
But it feels weird when other people tell me about their experiences
Because it's damaging to the body like all hedonistic activities.
What is your opinion on the Spartans?
They were interesting people, but ultimately a plague on mankind, at least for the people living around them and in the same time period as them.
And, of course, they got raped the second other Greek states started to also have professional militaries.
Still, they were one of the first examples of a republic anywhere in history, and pretty good at the whole fighting thing.
>>1616080
I'm glad they existed.
It makes the world a more interesting place.
However, it is almost a miracle they lasted as long as they did.
I see Spartans as thoroughly misunderstood. I think if the general public knew what they were actually like they wouldn't be romanticized to the degree that they are.
The USA was supposed to span the entire western hemisphere. What went wrong?
Jews
>>1615974
It was?
>>1615985
Yes. It was widely believed that the US would conquer the entire western hemisphere by the year 1925.
Pick a country, past or present, and a philosopher who characterizes that country's values and philosophy. Obvious example would be Marx and the USSR.
>>1615967
The USSR does not characterize Marx's values.

How not? Only serious difference was socialism within one country.
Prussia, Kant.

>people say Daniel Dennett isn't a philosopher
He went to Harvard and is famous, so why is he seen as an idiotic joke? Why is Peter Singer seen as a joke when he has about 4 or 5 of the world's best universities on his CV?
Just what the hell does a "proper philosopher" do, and why is their work as inconsequential as the meme philosophers? Bear in mind that I'm the Munchhausen trilemma poster.
2. Why are the olden time philosophers worshipped when they spouted unbelievable amounts of crap that I'm sure no one could get away with today? Is it REALLY all just social posturing? I always shitpost that it is, but it is still a shock to see that I'm right about literally everything.
3. Is there really anything about today's Caapeetalizm *sniff* that will lead to "ruin" on its own terms? I like watching Zizek but it's like he's trying to knock down an imaginary castle. Solar power is becoming cheaper to use. I think Zizek is depressed that societal collapse or revolution won't happen in his lifetime.
Singe is a utilitarian, which is obnoxious: it's austism, the philosophy.
Dennett is part of the New Atheism movement, which makes him obnoxious as well, in fact moreso.

they obviously place memes above nonpartisan academics, their goal is not to gain the respect of their peers

What are some of the worst offenses of modern views being projected onto historical events?
Seeing the Hundred Years War described as a conflict between France and England always rustles my jimmies.

>modern views being projected onto historical events?
Elaborate.
>>1615951
Modern views meaning any modern ways of thought that didn't exist at the time of these historical events. Like nations in the Hundred Years War.
>>1615960
Nations didn't exist, but realms and kingdoms existed.
