If the Bolsheviks were really some Jewish conspiracy, then why would they kill Aleksandr Glagolev? He was an Orthodox priest who defended a Jew being tried for blood libel, and denounced people engaging in pogroms? His son went on to become a rescuer of Jews from Nazi persecution.
Since the Bolsheviks killed him, it's obvious they weren't driven mainly by Jewish resentment.

The Bolsheviks weren't a Jewish conspiracy.
That so many Jews joined the Bolshevik ranks is actually due to the vicious anti-Jewish actions that the Czarist regime instituted: the abysmal conditions on the Pale of Settlement, the wave of pogroms in the late 19th and early 20th century, the accusations of blood libel from the state Orthodox establishment for all misfortunes, etc.
As such, a large number of Jews sided with anti-monarchist factions such as the Bolsheviks in the hopes of easing the oppression.

20th century radical movements were simply examples of what happens when the peasants get to rule entire societies.
They were beta uprisings.

Because they were Jews.

At what point does life-apologetics become reconcilable with his philosophy? What is so distasteful about suicide that it causes some philosophers to go full retard and come up with ad-hoc rationalizations for why its wrong?

Suicide is an act of weakness. While acts of weakness have their place in reform and revolution (satyagraha), suicide in general is expressed for no purpose but selfishness - "I am suffering, so I will end my own suffering." When undertaken for oneself, it inevitably ignores all others.
One may ask as well what is so distasteful about ultimate isolation or complete mental solitary confinement.

Yes its a good question if life is so brilliant then why shouldn't one be able to exist in a state of unconditional equanimity rather than experience various forms of deprivation through boredom or ennui or malaise or even hunger?

How are some ways you've overcome spooks in your daily life?

It is well established to say that Paul of Tarsus (the usurper) was the inventor of the Christian religion, contributing more to the belief system than even the historical Yeshua.
However, what was the reason for his hijacking/starting this new religion? Was he deluded? A reasonable account of Paul's life is that he was a Greek from Tarsus who possibly attached himself to the High Priest's/Sanhedrin's in the function of a henchman or bodyguard, and thus came into contact with those Jews who held Yeshua to have been a great teacher. For some reason, he took the character of Yeshua back with him to Asia Minor and began inventing wild tales about him and spreading them; and with mystery religions being vogue at the time, these tales were a hit. However, the original disciples of Yeshua in Jerusalem themselves were enraged at seeing a Gentile appropriate their figure and make him centerpiece to what they considered blasphemies.
But the question remains: what prompted Paul? Why specifically attach himself to Yeshua?
>inb4 "he spoke to Jesus in Arabia through a magic vision!!"
Gullible idiots need not apply.

Did European explorers honestly believe their actions were the fulfillment of some divine obligation instigated by church policy like the doctrine of discovery?
If no, is there any evidence of criticism from 15th century contemporaries that such policy was just justification for greed or power?
If yes, do the beliefs held by a society justify their actions? Is it fair to criticism them?

Spanish did. The saying here in the Philippines is that the islands were conquered "by the cross, not the sword."

yes
the Spaniards used all the wealth they took from the Americas to finance religous wars instead of to get wealthy, they were the last pre modern medieval power.

What about later European powers? I assume there were other church and state mandates, or even later colonialists in America and belief in manifest destiny.
When do Europeans cross the line from well-intended expansionism into the current narrative of "greedy, Machiavellian imperialists?"

Share any experiences you've had from the internet before 1991, dig up cool info, pretty much discuss anything relevant to internet culture before 1991.

If you would cut off Yuja Wang's hands she could no longer play the piano, this proves that the ability to play the piano is locally generated inside the hands.

while you can demonstrate the brain is active in the process of playing a piano, you cannot demonstrate that any outside force is active in controlling the brains decision making processes.
So despite your example being a fallacy of composition, the one on how the brain works is not
