How do Catholic-cucks deal with the fact that their "church" is not even a millennia old and has been mired in corruption since the beginning?

There have been actual retards more fit to sit St Peter's throne than some of their so called popes.

It's a Hispanic religion for family and community.

People just do whatever religion their parents do, who cares. Just like how your redneck deadbeat parents are southern baptists or mormons or whatever faggot religion you believe. Let the catholics have their mary and saints, we have freedom of religion so that everyone can at least try to be have that tiny bit of personal hope for the future before it's back to mcdonalds for another shift..

Most people believe that they were either benefited or at least not harmed by being brought into existence. Thus, if they ever do reflect on whether they should bring others into existence---rather than having children without even thinking about whether they should---they presume that they do them no harm. Better Never to Have Been challenges these assumptions. David Benatar argues that coming into existence is always a serious harm. Although the good things in one's life make one's life go better than it otherwise would have gone, one could not have been deprived by their absence if one had not existed. Those who never exist cannot be deprived. However, by coming into existence one does suffer quite serious harms that could not have befallen one had one not come into existence. Drawing on the relevant psychological literature, the author shows that there are a number of well-documented features of human psychology that explain why people systematically overestimate the quality of their lives and why they are thus resistant to the suggestion that they were seriously harmed by being brought into existence. The author then argues for the 'anti-natal' view---that it is always wrong to have children---and he shows that combining the anti-natal view with common pro-choice views about foetal moral status yield a "pro-death" view about abortion (at the earlier stages of gestation). Anti-natalism also implies that it would be better if humanity became extinct. Although counter-intuitive for many, that implication is defended, not least by showing that it solves many conundrums of moral theory about population.

We will suffer greatly if people were to adopt this doctrine and let everything collapse. It's a better idea to build up civilization so people's quality of life improves.

My problem with it is that some other intelligent species would evolve and then they would run into the same problems. Anti-natal is pretty defeatist.

>>1466759
funny, for me it's the opposite. I don't think much about suicide but I would have preferred to have never been born.

I've dreamt about being a Yugoslav partisan. Me and about twelve other partisans ambush a German patrol. We get the upper hand on them in the begging but we eventually get overrun. They tie me to a post to execute me and just before they shoot I wake up.


I've dreamt this about three times. Both of my grandfathers were in the partisans.

How far back do you want to go?

I know when the Huns showed up and started causing a ruckus, some of the Germanic tribes began shaping the skulls of their babies like the Hunnic tribes did.

Maybe it was to emulate the most powerful horde to hit Europe since the rise of Rome. Maybe is was /fa/ as fuck. The world may never know

There is a difference between Germanics and Germans.

And genetic studies already proved that Western Slavs live there for 9000 years lol.

My question is not about that per se but I think it's interesting and relevant. I study with a guy from Guinea and he told us that French removed literally fucking everything including phone and electric wires upon leaving and Guinea still has fuckall for infrastructure since they had absolutely nothing after getting independence. How did other African countries fare after decolonization and do they develop their infrastructure now? I only know about Chinks building roads and all that, also I heard that former British colonies fared much better because British played fair most of the time.
>>
>>1464393
Congo didn't. It just degraded for decades on end after independence due to a lack of skilled laborers and Mobutu's horrific kleptocracy that removed any incentive to do maintenance or general labor.

The saying went "We pretend to work as long as they pretend to pay us".

It got so bad that by 1996 your average Congolese was making 65% of what he did in 1960 and inflation was 5,000%
