>you will never have a qt chinese revolutionary gf whose idealism and vision for a better world is beautiful, innocent and pure, while you both are sadly unaware of the incoming horrors of Maoism and are powerless to stop it
why even live
>>1393444
I know that feel and it saddens me greatly.
When's the new naively idealistic revolution gonna happen, folks? I need to escape this prison of nihilism.
>settling for some skinny bitch with a false understanding of leftism

Have historically equal societies been better to live in than unequal societies?
>>1393267
>Have historically equal societies
Such as...? Naive egalitarianism is a meme. Engels was a shitty anthropologist, and his work in "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State" has been widely discredited by contemporary analysis.
ayyyyy /leftypol/

The conflict between pagans and christians prior to the total christianization of Europe is very interesting.
Tell me about it, or recommend reading.
I would also be interested in this.
In all honesty, there was not that much 'resistance' on part of the pagans. This because paganism is not an established religion like Christianity: it does not have any real central tenet or one central figure or establishment, and unlike the Abrahamic religions, paganism does (did) not generally compete with others for exclusivity.
There was some resistance from some philosophers and scholars such as Poryphry and Celsus, who wrote treatsies against the religion. Then there was also Emperor Julian (called the Apostate by later Christians), who sought to return the Empire to paganism. However, he failed because of the reasons I said: paganism does not have a central tenet or figure around which to rally around, and its non-competitive nature made it hard to compete with Cucktianity, which is competitive to its core.
There was some resistance though, but it tended to be on the smaller end of the scale: pagan priests defending their temples from Christian rioters, villagers particularly devoted to a local god or spirit refusing to convert, philosophers and learned men finding Christianity to be idiotic and preferring the pagan gods due.
I am more interested in the Pagan resistance to Christianity TODAY.
We always have threads about who is the villain of history.
But who would you say is the hero/main character of history?

The proletariat.

So apparently in the new upcoming Battlefield 1 game there's some Black German soldiers on Europe's side. History-wise did this ever happen?
Pic related.
Of course it happened
BF1 was made by the best WW1 historians
>>1396659
>>1396683
Is that world war 1?
And really they should've just made an expansion about the abyssinian war if they wanted to have nignogs. I mean, seeing Italy get BTFO by Based Ethiopia woulda been nice.
DAILY REMINDER THAT THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION IS THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED TO MANKIND
http://editions-hache.com/essais/pdf/kaczynski2.pdf
I would say it was a necessary evil
>>1396603
It is like adapt or die type of thing yea
>people living in an industrial society have the choice to completely abandon the industrial economy and live like medieval peasants
>medieval peasants don't have the chance to live like first worlders
Post favorite theories, complaints, ideas.
Who's your favorite philosopher? Why?
OP here. Ganna bamp.
Why did Descartes believed his thinking proved God's existence? What duties does he think God has to fulfill?
I always thought that was conceited as fuck. Why do humans seem to believe that thinking is such a huge deal? Humans seem to think everything revolves around them. Granted, humans can do many things other beings cannot. However, I'm still clinging on to the idea that there are other, possibly more powerful beings out there.
If humans stopped existing, would "God" cease to exist, too?
Is the self a metaphysical construct?
>>1395683
I think that depends on what you define the self as, and what your belief of reality consists of.

In order to avoid attracting predators/scavengers and as a burial rite.
>>1396549
But it says cause they were starving,
>can't into agriculture?
>>1396820
Humans didn't practice agriculture in the era these beings existed.
Was the Industrial Revolution a mistake?
Yes.
Agriculture was a mistake
>>1393923
Yes.
The taxonomization and commodification of man has already begun. Soon we will all of us be but a piece of the machine.
Was the Iranian Revolution the worst thing for Iran?
The part where the Ayatollahs took over was.
Albeit the Islamic Republic was probably still an improvement over the Shah.
>>1393920
This. I rather wish Iran had gone in a different direction than theocracy, but I'll take the Islamic Republic over the KSA any day.
>>1393917
The fall of Persia to the Muslims was much worse to Iran. Being exhausted by war with the "Romans" allowed them to be overtaken by Arabic Muslims who over time would extinguish the unique Zoroastrian culture of Iran/Persia.

No, Torture is a permanent evil, and thus forever unjustifiable.
Let's talk about axes being fucking shit and warhammers being amazing.
Warhammers were pretty much only used when expecting to be fighting against armour
>>1392441
And axes were used pretty much only when expecting to chop wood so that's still a massive improvement.
>>1392447
The Danes, Franks and Anglo-Saxons were all fond of using axes in warfare.
As a two handed weapon they are lethal.
>You can't invade all of us
>Fuck you yes I can
How did this happen?
>>1391903
Lopez expected to gather support from Uruguayan blanco oppositionists, as well as from Urquiza in Argentina. This would have meant a serious threat to Buenos Aires and would have forced Brazil to terms. However, Paraguay didnt receive the expected support from the blancos and Urquiza even asked for Buenos Aires support to smash Lopez's forces.
So Lopez had a plan, he wasnt completely crazy. It was too risky, but it was nit impossible for him ti have succeeded.
>>1391903
didnt almost all their population die?
He wanted to be the South American Napoleon, but he ended up as the South American Hitler (war on multiple fronts, BTFO, half the population died and the country loses territory and relevance for ever).

Enchants and armor
Projectile Protection/Protection are disabled, you can craft iron armor put not diamond armor.
Sharpness/Power/Infinity/Flame are disabled, you can craft iron swords but not diamond sword.
It is recommended to use guns for PvP rather than swords/bows
When you spawn you will have the option to choose from 4 different warps, each one will teleport you to a random location around that choosen location.
The locations to choose from are either europe, americas, asia or africa. This will cut down some of the usual travel time from spawning for the first time.
