What are /his/ approved german WWII movies?

The German/Czech movie Stalingrad from 1993, it's about the battle from a German perspective without demonizing or glorifying either side. It's also VERY historically accurate, the only inaccuracy is that they had to use T-34/85 because it's the only model they could find and they had a limited budget.

What does /his/ think of the Theistic Personalism vs. Classical Theism debate?

Just a quick summary:
>Classical Theism is the view held by most Abrahamic philosophers prior to the modern age
>When we say God is the creator we don't just mean he created the Earth and sat back, but rather God causes all things, ever and if he stopped existing reality would stop existing because he causes it
>Because God causes all things, and therefore originates all changes, he cannot be influenced and unchangeable: to claim he can be influenced would be to claim that lesser beings can CREATE change, but ONLY God can create
>God's traits are fundamentally different from man's traits: a man loves a woman in reaction to perceiving her and feeling warm in his heart, but God cannot react and he cannot feel things like a man because he doesn't have a body
>similarly, God's knowledge is different from man's knowledge: man knows by learning, and thus by reacting and being changed
>So God is 'simple': he doesn't have traits, he IS traits
>At the same time, God is unfathomable: To completely understand God would be like trying to put your arms around a mountain, one can understand individual traits and aspects to some degree (touching a mountain) but true understanding is impossible unless a miracle is involved

Continued:


>Personalism is a view that evolved after the reformation and is becoming a predominant view in the US
>God is basically a person without a body, this is what is meant when we say God created us in his image
>Because God is a person, he feels: God feels sad when bad things happen and glad when good things happen
>Since God feels and acts in response to things, he reacts and answers prayers 'in time' as opposed to existing outside time
>this implies that God can undergo character development: since he reacts, he changes
>unlike classicists, personalists do not believe all history is God's doing, but rather that things exist because he permits them to exist
>because God is kind of a person, like man, he can be comprehended to a greater degree than classicists would admit


Personalists would argue that personalism is superior because the God of the Bible clearly acts, feels, and reacts. Classical Theists would say that even though personalism seems superficially like it agrees with the Bible, it is inconsistent with the traits we ascribe to God (omnipotence and omniscience, primarily.)

To me, Classical theism sounds like the patrician choice, and yet I feel like personalists have a point when they say their interpretation makes sense in a Biblical context.

Incompatible statements. Deism is actually the patrician choice BTW.

>I feel like personalists have a point when they say their interpretation makes sense in a Biblical context.

The bible was written for plebs, for whom the more abstract god of classical theism was (rightly so, I believe) thought to be too difficult to understand, thus the anthropomorphism we find in the bible now.

Why did big band style music fall out of fashion?

The short of it is that rock and roll happened, but big band style music, especially lounge, stayed en vogue until the mid to late 1970's. Iirc, Sinatra's last original album was released in mid 1970's or somewhere thereabouts.

music has become more consumer based. also most of the artists who do make this kind if music, write almost exclusively for movies
>>
>>1547586
Too expensive. You've got one guy needing dozens of people to play his works, it means a hell of a lot less people actually manage to get their work heard, and that after a rather long career of being a nobody. Compare with forming up a 4 men band in your garage and rocking on. Artists just went with the better option for themselves.

I just bought an iron cross and it came with this picture. Supposedly its the guy who earned the medal. Can you tell me anything about the picture to help identify him or his occupation/unit?

I currently live in Japan. I was walking through the halls of an anime infested otaku area, just showing my american friends around. We stopped at one small shop with a quiet old man reading a newspaper.

Most of his wares were anime and famous characters, but I noticed one small case that had all sorts of military stuff. Vietnam patches, an m16, rings from different services.

Then I saw the iron cross. The old man approached me and in broken english told me about it. He said it was original and he got it from one of his German friends.

I ended up buying it for about $175, not sure if it was a good deal or not. So, that's why i'm here.

Trading or raiding for it from nearby settled populations.
Requesting it as payment for mercenary work for nearby settled populations.
Relegating its manufacture to nearby settled or semi-settled groups that are within your cultural sphere (such as the Uriangkhai for the Mongols, or apparently Turkic peoples for Mongolic peoples in general - the Rourans referred to Turkic peoples as "their blacksmith-slaves", and blacksmithing seems to have eventually gained a religious connotation among pagan Turks).
Make it from materials and using techniques that do not require large fixed workshops or intensive resource extraction sites (such as Siberian peoples like the Chukchis and Koryaks, who made armour from leather, fish skins, and bone plates, all sewed together).

Does anyone know the style of furniture this is? I'd love to have a coffee table like this in my living room but I don't even know where to start looking. I especially like the details on the ends. It reminds me of a gothic-style stained glass window.

Could you "redpill" me on the origins of old judaism? What content is original, and what is stolen from other cultures? The example that comes to my mind right now is the "Epic of Gilgamesh", where they describe something similar to the Great Flood myth.

You could read The Origins of Biblical Monotheism by Smith.

It'll teach you everything you know about the Canaanite (or "West Semitic", as the author prefers to call it) polytheist religion whence Judaism came from, by the foremost authority on the topic.

Basically this Judaism thing began as a monotheistic reform movement within a pagan religion.

Celts were top shit in the iron age

They pretty much introduced iron-working to the Romans and Germanics.

The word 'iron' is a Celtic loanword, the Celtic word for king *rīx, was borrowed into Germanic languages at an early date, althought it only survives in modern languages in personal names and in its adjective form.

The Roman army's equipment was largely based off Celtic designs
>>
>>1547213
They might have but there are no records of it due to Celts not having written down anything. Hell, there might even have been Roman revisionism but we'll never know, they have written down their legacy for us. Celts were slowly assimilated into Roman culture before being yet again, assimilated into Germanic culture afterwards. There also was no national or imperial Celtic identity, they were all tribes losely related to eachother unlike the people that later took them over.

Memes aside, how would somebody from, lets say, the Middle Ages suddenly popping up in the present day react to everything?

For example, I think they wouldn't react that strongly to modern technology. Their minds might not even register many of it. There are stories of natives who, when discovered by Europeans, didn't notice the ship coming, or didn't care, they acted as if it's not an amazing thing. According to some, it's because the mind thinks in patterns, and if something is so different from what they knew already, it kind of shuts down and can't properly register it.

So I think someone from centuries past wouldn't really care about technology, at least at first. They would instead look for familiar stuff and react to that. So, for example, they would be shocked at how indecently everyone is dressed, would notice how churches are different etc. Also, they would probably see a modern city as Sodoma and Gomorrah, with lewd images everywhere, churches being dwarfed by most other buildings, everyone overindulging in material pleasures etc.

Lets not forget that caloric intake of a priest during a fast wouldve been around 4000 calories, and 6000 when not fasting. I would argue we are less overindulging.

They're two-a-penny. The migrations of Bedouin (particularly the Banu Hilal) into North Africa culturally destroying the Latin speaking Romano-Punic-Berber culture that had existed there for centuries is a good example.

They are not. How many books have you read about the months spent waiting in trenches between any action? Or the thousands of filibuster speeches?

Everything is cherrypicked for the dramatic moments.

That said, war had groups actively making inspiring stories for propoganda to get their troops morale up/recruiting. Nothing else comes close to having that kind of spotlight on it.

Won't the idea of an afterlife of justice always be needed? Sociopaths will always be with us, and we'll never know who they all are.

Furthermore, successful sociopaths have the effect of making normies feel stupid, and so they make normies seek to mould themselves into pseudo-sociopaths.

Under materialism, almost everyone will agree that empathy is a weakness, even those who have a lot of empathy.

A weakness to who? Yourself as an individual?
>>
>>1546385
A weakness no matter what you want to do. In fact, empathy can be a weakness if your goal is to effectively help people.

Empathy is an emotion that override's people's reason and knocks people off balance. It's a weakness just like anger, depression, etc.
>>
>>1546391

Without empathy what's the end goal?
