Tell me about Russia east of Urals mountains /his/ (AKA Mordor). What the fuck has happened in this part of the world?

What happened to Stannis Baretheon in real life?
>>1430558

>>1430558
He conquered Gaul
>>1430558
>300 AC
>Asking about Stannis.
25 Year rule, fucker.
He literally did nothing wrong.
He was the Shadow the Hedgehog of colonialism
>>1430410
You really got to give him a hand.
What does /his/ think of Stirner?
Supreme ghostbuster.
I like how he completely fucked Marx so hard Marx had to change his entire worldview.
>>1430102
Y'know Hegel's view of history? With non-linear progression of values? What happens if we replace values with spooks?
Atheists have got it all wrong. There is no point in searching for the material proof in religion. For the believer the reasoning is pretty simple: Either you believe, or you don't. That's it. Or as Augustine said, crede ut intelligas (believe, so you can understand). To one who sincerely and truly believes, no further proof is necessary.
Modern man comes from a background in which he is taught that everything can be explained in a same materialistic fashion. This is alright as long as you stick to materialistic things. But once you move onto the immaterial, spiritual field then your search automatically turns pointless because you only choose to comprehend it in your own, physical way.
Would you please permanently move into the immaterial and fuck off?
As long as you admit it's about faith and that faith is a denial of rationality, we're all good.
OP quotes a Catholic philosopher, so I assume he is a Catholic.
However his stance is completely anti-Catholic. '

>still believing in sexuality
Sexuality doesn't exist, it's a spook, just admit it. All of you have masturbated to gay porn and heterosexual porn before, just admit it. And we all had that childhood friend we had sexual fantasies about.
While it's true that only heterosexual sex causes reproduction, this doesn't mean that homosexuality is unnatural. Animals participate in gay sex, and so have homo sapiens since the dawn of their existence.
If you actually believe that you are only attracted to one sex, man, your head is haunted; you have wheels in your head!
That's some cute projection there lad.
Nice projection, faggot, now go back to LARPing as a wolf or whatever it is you idiots do.
>>1429796
It's the truth. When you are sexually aroused by a girl's butt, only to find out later it was a man's butt, why do you feel embarrassment? Because sexuality is a social construct, not because you have a natural sexual preference.
I was looking through some MIT data and I realised that in almost every field, be it in arts or politics or science and technology, the historically most important city is always the same by a clear margin: Paris.
Why is that? What made Paris so ridiculously relevant? And why is it usually forgotten today?
London.
Many cities have held that position in different eras.

This is based on a dataset going back to 4000 BC.

I'm working on my thesis, and i choose the Magyars, can /his/ recommend me a good book about them?
>>1429599
What about the Magyar? A thesis needs to include an argument of some sort.
Perhaps you should have done this before choosing the subject.
>>1429604
The title will be "Magyars- from nomads to nation"
i will describe their first invasion until they settle
How did the Indus Valley Civilization, a civilization that reached its peak in the 3rd millennium BC, have a fairly egalitarian society with no known kings or rulers and a sewage system better than the Romans with a flushing toilet in every household?
>>1429538
As far as I know, their script is completely undeciphered. And there are structures that are almost certainly temples of some sort, which implies some degree of social stratification.
They probably did have some sort of system of rule, maybe even a out and out theocracy. It's just that so much info about them have vanished, we can't reconstruct it.
>>1429545
Oh. Well, it's still the only pre-modern society where everyone had a toilet inside their house, so that's pretty neat
>>1429545
Why is it farfetched for them to have a government other than monarchy or theocracy?
What's wrong with rivers as borders?
>>1429355
Rivers can change shape over time, meaning that your borders will eventually end up looking like this.

That's pretty gross

In this thread we post as realistically possible reconstructions of how some tribes and peoples looked like in antiquity.

how do I into christian morality
is the popular "weighting sins at heaven's gate" really the deal they're selling? what's the role of, you know, repenting?
also what the fuck exactly is sin
You demand that everyone should follow the Bible and then don't follow it yourself

So if Germany would have won WWII and Hitler would have lived, how long would he stay in power?
Til death?
Who would take over after his death?
Elections? Monarchy restored?
I can't help but think that even if Germany won WWII that everything would have broken in pieces after Hitler death.
Himmler and the Black Sun society formed from the intellectual elite of the SS would have been successful in manifesting an egregore, an autonomous psychic entity that would have allowed the elite circles of the SS to maintain behind the scenes power and influence over the political and social climate of the Third Reich
>>1429281
presumably the magic spell that made that happen would also give immortality and power over the hearts of men
>>1429303
Nah.
It would all have gone to shit as soon as Hitler died or showed any signs of wavering. We are also supposing that the jew problem would be "resolved" and there would be no more enemies to fight, at least in Europe.
How can you keep going a system based on a strong leader, a deep-roted hatred for jews and dangerous nemesis if there's no more of those three around?
But giving credit where credit's due, I don't think it would all implode in a day. After Hitler's death, things would slowly decay. The new leader, whomever he could be, wouldn't be as carismatic and powerful as Adolf. People would remember with fondness the better times when Hitler was around. They would whisper about how things where better then,
Fast foward 70 years in the future and Germany would, no doubt about it, have become some sort of democracy again. Or, at least, something different from national socialism.
That's the sad thing about fascism. It's a great ideology up until the point of an eventual victory against the "great enemy". Then, it all goes to shit. Without something to unite the people against, fascism is just glorified socialism.
I think the problem with history is we remember the times of bloodshed and the atrocities but we don't remember the good times.
This leaves a lot of us with a bitter taste in our mouths towards our perspectives on humanity.
No one really remembers the 60s when peace and love became a dominant theme in society. No one acknowledges that tens of thousands of early Christians came together under a new teaching giving hope and faith and peace to billions of people throughout history. People aren't taught in depth about ghandi who changed an entire nation through his pacifism and love of religions. If you ask most historians their opinions on humanity it is that we are a malevolent evil race of creatures who cause pain and suffering regardless of what we do.
No! Man has the ability to act better, man is not just a mindless animal, we can get along. Give peace a chance!
>>1429235
It's the opposite, everyone just remembers the past as better and the current as bad and worse and doom.
Don't speak for me with your bleeding heart sentiment. Human suffering is an integral aspect of our existence
>>1429235
Truly the 1960s were the most peaceful of times.
How accurate is the vision that the Soviet Union was a "two class society" -- the nomenklatura and the masses?
Worse than most monarchies.
>>1428901
It's accurate, but you'd be better off calling it the upper class and the lower class. It's more accurate that way.
first Tsar nobility then the Bolsheviks then the Communist Party of the USSR then the Nomenklatura then the Oligarchs
