Why were there so few Eastern Philosophers ? I could fill a whole paper with the names of Western Philosophers.

BECAUSE TRADITIONAL EASTERN SOCIOCULTURE IS EVEN MORE STRICTLY CONFORMIST, AND CONSERVATIVE, THAN TRADITIONAL WESTERN CULTURE, THEREFORE EXCEPTIONAL PERSONALITIES ARE RARER.

Dear /his/,

I am beginning a new semester of college this coming August. I'm a History Major and I'm taking a class on a subject I'm very excited about, World War II.

However, I'm a little bit worried. I've had a basic history course with the professor before, and he was great, but I feel like he's little bit liberal. What are some liberal interpretations of World War II? I'm looking to get exposed now so that just so I can be prepared and understand the perspective more, and not say something stupid in class.

If that were to happen, the massive majority of the population would soon perish, because without advanced agriculture, we can't produce nearly enough food to support our population, and on top of that, without advanced methods of distribution, we couldn't get it to most people.

The Soviet Union. The inherent imperialism within socialism (worldwide revolution) gave the Soviets a casus belli to meddle in the affairs of any nation.

It was not neccesary for a nuclear war to bring about the socialist '''paradise''' but it was required.

What is the history behind conversion to Judaism?

Is it all a scam or do Jews see converts as Jewish as themselves?
5 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
Converts have usually been rare because Jews don't prosletyze or conquer and people don't want to cut their penises. But yes or did happen, which is why there are jews of various ethnicities.
>>
They certainly don't, which is why marriages between jews (by blood, according to their talmudic racial laws only someone with a kike mom is a kike himself) and non-jews are literally ilegal in pissrahell
>>
>>1466589
Jews actively discourage conversion. Its an ethno-faith, they dont generally want random subhumans joining in

>Israel and Saudi Arabia do not have diplomatic relations. News reports have surfaced indicating behind-the-scenes diplomatic and intelligence cooperation between the countries.[1][2][3]

I know the House of Saud has always been publicly against Israel, because if they weren't the whole Middle East would turn on them, including their own people, but it seems to me they've always been on the same page when it comes to Middle East geopolitics ever since they both got close to America. Am I wrong on this?

>After the Arab Spring, Israel views the Saudi government as "guarantor of stability", according to the New York Times. In 2011, Israel approved a German sale of 200 Leopard tanks to Saudi Arabia.[11] The approval came from Uzi Arad, the national security advisor to Benjamin Netanyahu.[12]

No Saudis talk shit about Israel because they have to. The real Geopolitics is, as it has been for decades, US interest/Petro-Dollar interest vs opponents. Saudis hate radicial Islam they can't control, they hate Iran, they hate Americas enemies, they work with Israel. They just allow their elite to send money to radical Islamists they are comfy with.

The real conflict in the Mideast is Saudis vs Iran, which is really US hegemony vs national sovereignty.

>So the current situation really started with the Iranian Revolution?

Kinda. Once a US puppet wasn't in Iran, the Sunni-Shia divide was exploited. The Saudis and Iran are fighting for influence in the Mideast in Iraq and Syria and they are both seeking international help from the US and the very weak Russia/national sovereignty types across the globe respectively.

Saudis are the number one Petro-dollar state on Earth. They known where their wealth and power comes from.

>>
As far as I know they had private ownership of capital, however the state was pretty invasive and could expropriate individual's estates to have their wealth, or punish them for their political sympathies, or just for sheer avarice.

Though sometimes the line between public & private wealth could be blurred as political office was often a means to amass wealth. Governors would extract wealth from their provinces for example, and might be counted on to use their own wealth for public means.

Franco-Turko alliance? Christian treason or French necessity?

It was necessary for France. They wanted to became the leading power in Europe and so they had to do it, because
Hapsburg, their worst enemy, had Spain, the Holy Roman Empire, and a big part of Italy (Naples, Sicily, Milan, "Stato Dei Presidi", and some others) and the Pope, Toscany, Piemont, Genoa, were his allies. France was surrounded by the Hapsburg, and so they thought to play their game by making alliances with the Ottoman empire, and even with the Protestants Princes in the Empire.
France never really cared about religion, if it wasn't necessary to their policies.
>>
Both.
They funded Protestant Sweden in the war against the Catholic rulers as well.

Why wouldn't you ally with the strongest power in the world?
