>Americans exterminated this
Not completely!
Every generation gets more and more mixed. It's hard to find 100% American Indian people anymore and it's getting harder and harder for them to find partners that aren't mixed at all to make babies with. Sadly the genetic bottleneck caused by their obliteration is probaby not something they can recover from.
A lot of Native American characters in movies are played by Japs :[

I think it's probably impossible. 500 years is a huge amount of time for genes to disperse. I wouldn't be surprised at all if every single one has some European ancestry.

Why was everything so innocent in the 40s/50s?
>inb4 lefty shills
It really wasn't.
Somewhere north of 450,000 Americans died in combat between 1941 and 1953, and pretty much everything after 1948 was spent in an atmosphere of imminent destruction.
I didn't know proxy wars and nuclear threat were innocent.
Freedom, less government.
What exactly was Adam's "sin"? Christian discourse all seems to hinge on this transgression of Adam's, that it was so terrible and atrocious that it warranted the arrival and the supposed sacrifice of Christ, all to redeem the human race of Adam's action.
Was it really just eating of the fruit?
Second: how exactly does one reconcile the non-literal reading of the Genesis of the Catholics and Orthodox with the idea of Original Sin?
Disobedience
>>1465144
>disobedience
If anything, Adam sacrificed himself nobly.
The snake tricked Eve. Having eaten of the fruit, Adam also partook in it so that his companion would not be alone in her crime.
Christian narrative is a fucking mess.
Introducing duality into the world (knowledge of good and evil) and thereby sundering the pristine, divine unity of the garden.
It is not that Adam is punished by being forced into the world of matter because he ate a fruit (come on man), the world of matter IS the punishment all by itself.

We need to discuss the important topic of why some empires are simply better than others, why some nations have contributed more to history, been of more benefit to humanity, and where they all fit in the grand tier list of history.

Some of you may be familiar with the Japanese system of Kanbun Kundoku, which is a system for reading Classical Chinese text as Japanese using a definite set of rules. I propose, if the Japanese can do it, why can't we, or anyone? Plus, a similar system for English would be really cool.

>I propose, if the Japanese can do it, why can't we, or anyone?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji
Their language is essentially based on the Chinese, that is why they can.
>>1462418
The Japanese spoken language existed before anyone in Japan knew what a writing brush even was, though.
>>1462448
And? Languages change over time. I don't knlw for sure but their langauges are probably very compatible in thought and meaning, as they are based on the same system.
The inherit problem with translation is most languages today developed independently of each other and cannot be translated 1:1. You can usualy get the meaning, but the the skill of the original author is usually always lost. Chinese/Korean/Japanese are essentially the same languages, at least they are based somewhere in the same area - so they are very similar to one another.
>"Communism works on paper..."
How does on mean 'communism doesn't work'. Yes it's different than capitalism, and for many people less desirable, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work.
>>1462216
The past 100 years proves it just doesn't
>inb4 not real communism/socialism
Communism works in reality, you can go visit communes right now in plenty of first world countries.
It doesn't "work" on national scales.
You Eastern Orthodox and you Roman Catholics, what makes the other the true and the other one not? Is it the religion of Rome and Europe or the religion of greeks and slavs?
Let's say you are to convince me, convert me or simply enlighten me.
If you don't like these kinda threads or you stumbled upon this to be a twat, don't sweat it don't comment and move on.
I mean if you want the really short version - Papal Primacy, Matthew 16:18-19
>>1459930
We Catholics view the Orthodox in an odd way. They have proper apostolic succession, their sacraments are valid, etc. Basically, their the same as us, but they reject the primacy of the Pope.
If I'm remembering correctly, they can even receive communion in our churches, but not the other way around.
I feel like catholicism was much more enforced through history.
Orthodoxy on the other hand, became part of the culture and much less people converted from it

Why do some people deny evolution, even though scientists have unearthed millions of years of evidence to prove it?
Millions of years of evidence was planted here by Satan to trick you.
Evolution has a side-effect of debasing humanity
If you buy into it, you're just some other animal. You're not above the other animals, you are an animal.
This should be countered by language and consciousness, but instead the debasement of humanity is cheered on by the academic left, who use it as a tool to protect animals. People are suspicious of this as Academia currently has an unnerving tendency to shit on Western society, and anything involving strength, honor or a higher ideal that is not directly related to Western society being replaced.
Long story short evolution is viewed as being tied to the worst aspects of Academia.
We all laugh at the Afrocentrist historical claims, but European nations, too, have a habit of making up all kinds of shit to make themselves look good.
