no. men failing to be as good hedonist as women, men invent fantasies where they gain power over men, women and nature. they try to be at the top of their contrived hierarchy. This guy follows his fear of pains and his love for pleasures and invent a way to be good at it. nothing more to see here.

I play a few shows in Mexico City every year and I can't tell you how bad it feels to stand on top of the Pyramid of the Sun and think about all the shit that was destroyed. Worst part is they built a fucking Wal Mart at Teotihuacan, trashed a ton of newly discovered artifacts, and fired the workers who reported it.

Fucking Spaniards. Fucking Mexicans.

Spoiler alert: I'm Mexican.

>>1485623
That's a terrible metaphor, Romania would and could never stand a chance against China. In this case Spanish had much better artillery, armor and ships, so their civilization was militarily superior to say the least.

I do agree with you though about the destruction, religious zealots are cancer.

I guess Washington and Lincoln would be the exception, if any American knows of any other interesting presidents please do tell me!.

FDR was good. Brought us out of the depression and spearheaded the policies that would win us WWII

Innate
It's natural to thing faggots are disgusting scum

Aversion to 'false positives' in your mate selection systems are innate. People can then be taught to hate the people who trigger this in them.

Also add maybe the Dutch and Germans I guess

It sort of was.

The Soviets brought the many joys of communism to them shortly after the Russian revolution. They were the second country on the planet to become communist, after Russia itself.

Because it's in the middle of nowhere, you can say the same about fucking Afghanistan

You can't have a World War that isn't a total war.

Britain has fought many total wars, but if you glance at her history of conflict, the wars are overwhelmingly Britain completely overpowering their adversaries without any serious war effort.

China, Boers, India, etc.

NI fag here, specialised in modern Irish history, parents are from Greece and I'm an Orthodox Christian so I don't really have a stake in the whole ethnic/religious debate

These are my go-to, reasonably unbiased, "general" sources, if you want something more specific I can dig up my old university reading list

>I always hear that it was essentially started by how Protestants/Loyalists treated Irish/Catholics but find that a bit hard to believe.
That's an incredinly simplified view of it but it's not a bad way to sum the whole thing up in a sentence

>>1484516
By unbiased, I mean I don't want a case of

>"The Troubles in NI: How the IRA killed my dog"
>"The Butcher's Apron: Life as a Catholic under British Oppression in Belfast"

Something written by someone informed as opposed to driven by passion of having witnessed it from one side or another.

Thank you, anon.
I'm really just curious about the legitimacy of the conflict, the legitimacy of uprisings/militias/rebellions of any sort is something I love finding out about.

The Troubles in particular is hard to get to grips with, however, because the scale of it seems bizarre. It seems that in some areas it was a war and yet even a few miles away it was as though nothing was happening.

If nobody has the right to property, then who is being stolen from.

The collective. The basic idea is that property is founded on exclusion. Let's take a desert oasis, in its natural state anyone can come an take water, but when someone claims ownership over it, all those other people have no been deprived of their ability to do so.

Sadly little of their ideas (theological, mathematical, philosophical) have survived.

Their crops were superior, judging on the books 1491 and 1493. Indians were better fet.

From reading "Aztec philosophy: the world in motion" I learned that they didn't do stupid Descartes faggotry but had some serious issues with the world (the Aztecs). They believed they were in the last age of humans and had to sacrifice honorouble enemy warriors to keep the teotl (energy), with it the universe, going.

Incas had a nice economy system. Every region produced something else and the surplus was redistributed. Some socialists like it.

>>1484036

they crops they domesticated were important for old world societies.

Just think of how many millions of Irishmen died because the potato was their main food.

And I remember reading that Spanish population didnt begin to recover until they begun to grow corn.

potatos, tomatoes, corn, cacao, vanilla, beans, pumpkins and hot peppers are all from the Americas.
and they are the result of selection in agriculture for thousands of years.

Unlike Europe, Agriculture in the Americas is a local creation, not something that was spread by farmers from the middle east.

Misunderstood geniuses who were very perceptive about nature.

One may think that the Aztec fear of star-demons that could devour the Sun was exaggerated, but the fact that present-day astronomers failed to foresee an impact as massive as the Earth on Jupiter is somewhat worrysome.

Plato Stanford confirmed for best philosopher of our times.

> The act of voting has an opportunity cost. It takes time and effort that could be used for other valuable things, such as working for pay, volunteering at a soup kitchen, or playing video games.
This is good from first sentence.
