Apollo Space Program?

>>1398519
no

how do you even reach that conclusion

>>1398510
The moon landing?

they did though.
It was always beat down before reachimg any far though.

Some did but most black slaves instead fled northwards or towards incoming Union armies. Or, in the case of one former slave, hijack a Confederate transport ship and flee to the Union blockade with his friends and family. I mean think about it. Let's assume all the slaves at a Georgia plantation killed Whitey McSlavedriver and took over their plantation and the surrounding land. They're effectively surrounded by a wholly unsympathetic population and news would probably spread fast prompting local militia (with lots of guns) to respond.

I expect most of them had no idea a civil war was going on, let alone what it was about. Why would their masters tell them?

Because for some reason the people at the top decided that soldiers being allowed to rob and rape and take wives as spoils of war was no longer a good thing so they tricked them into accepting cheap trinkets instead.

I am hopeful that you never serve in the US Armed Forces or otherwise hold any position of authority anywhere.
You have no clue.

Peace be with you.

men love to be submissive to some ideology [contrary to women who are not submissive, and if they are their end game is to feel good] and they praise whatever structure make concrete the process of getting this ideology adopted.
The best part is that men love ideologies which are not pragmatic [contrary to women who are down to earth] because it delays the concrete failures that each ideology lead to.
In the mean time, decoration feed the the craving of men [not of women] of ''being a good boy,serving a cause'', which means ''being relevant'' and having other men knowing it.
Men love to think that they work towards a higher goal [women are smart enough not to need this fantasy]

she was sarte's lecherous homebosy and hasn't contributed anything meaninful to philosophy as a whole. she, like most women, wrote about sexuality and apparently about threesomes with her, sarte, and other idiots like her. the fuck else is there to say

>>1398151
I tip my hat to you sir.

>>1398151
Im no fan of hers, but she did contribute some philosophical ideas, regardless of whether you think they are valid or not.

What about her idea of females as "the other sex", in that rather than the female sex having it'd own independent identity, it is instead merely the "other sex" in regards to males, being give it's definition by it differences to the male sex, rather than of the sex independently?

Do you think this idea has any validity? I'm eager to start an actual discussion here

It wasn't the middle class, but a group of Freemasons in positions of power within the court, and banking.

>>1394442
Paris was the only city that mattered. Every single civil authority had been centered there over the course of the past few centuries. When those authorities were converted to the use of the National Assembly, the whole rest of the country, including the army, had no option except to follow suit.

>>1394479
Makes sense, but those authorities and institutions were still guarded by professionals.

>>1394465
>Freemasons
Is this actually true or just some conspiracy theory?

>good guys
Fuck off idiot.

>>1398748
That's why I'm asking you dickwad

I would say they started out as the good guys, but since no one else in the international community would offer anything more than a sympathetic head-shake (thanks Britain, France, and the US) they were forced to rely almost entirely on the USSR for aid.

This meant that Stalin could basically force the Republic to make whatever concessions he liked, lest the Soviet Union withdraw support and leave them floundering. So towards the end of the war, the NKVD had effectively subverted the entire republican government and turned it into a Stalinist puppet (this is when they started purging Anarchists and Trotskyists).

The choice was, at that point, between a Marxist-Leninist dictatorship and a traditionalist one, and honestly, the latter was probably better for Spain in the long run.

Don't get me wrong, I would have much preferred that Franco and co. either never chimped out to begin with, or were quickly suppressed by a French-American-British backed Republic. But if the Soviet-supported state had won, it would have just meant an Iberian incarnation of Eastern Europe post-1945.

No, it's a pretty accurate outlook on the material metaphysical plane.

Atheists are often depressed because their deepest experiences are found in vain sesnusal pursuits. They experience, yet do not recognise 2 facts; 1) nothing is ever as good as it seems and 2) one is frustratingly unable to attain those vain things one so desires most of the time. Thus the atheist is completely blind, but too starstruck by sex, drugs, or whatever worldly thing they happen to fancy that the enlightened beliefs of a spiritual man seem to him abhorrent. One may liken it to a sinking cruise ship; the atheist tries in vain to continue dancing as the ballroom collapses around him, whilst the spiritual man searches for a lifeboat.

>tfw atheist buddhist
I think you meant the word "materialist"

>be STEM graduate
>spend NEET period studying philosophy
I don't understand?

Why are you straw manning? STEM love philosophy because they use it to BTFO of the Marxists who unjustly target them with affirmative action. The only "hate" is that STEM students feel it's a waste of money to take a degree in it and that people should research it in their past time instead. This "hate" is simply the belief that tertiary studies should teach industry skills rather than interests.

Also is this a worldwide phenomenon, or is it just the USA? This doesn't happen in my country.

>>1395308

Other way around. Philo SJWs hate STEM.

Except no, viking literally means someone who goes out and raids towns and shit. It's like using US Marines to refer to everyone in the US of A.

>On 6 May 2001 he became the first Catholic pope to enter and pray in a mosque, namely the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria. Respectfully removing his shoes, he entered the former Byzantine era Christian church dedicated to John the Baptist, who is also revered as a prophet of Islam. He gave a speech including the statement: "For all the times that Muslims and Christians have offended one another, we need to seek forgiveness from the Almighty and to offer each other forgiveness."[92] He kissed the Qur'an in Syria, an act that made him popular among Muslims but that disturbed many Catholics.[186]

Nigga have you tried eating meat without spices?

>>1400974
I dare you to eat a cooked steak as is.

>>1400983
A good steak literally needs nothing other than proper cooking

Nah I like women

Depends on the order and the religion.

Apparently the Benedictine's were very creative torturers. Just a fun fact, I don't want to be one.
