>I know anarchism is a popular ideology among /his/torians,
Is it? I've found /his/ to be pretty politically moderate (for 4chan at least)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Defense_of_Anarchism
It's more of an exploration of the philosophical implications than having any particular political agenda, which I like about it.
It also actually has good points

>>1389370

Anarchism is a utopian ideology, and like all utopianisms it's chief failing is it's denial of human nature.Anarchists believe that people are born as blank slates, and that they could be raised to be purely unselfish and cooperative with the right kind of education. Sadly, humans /do/ a nature, and it is primarily self-interested. Even if 90% of the population got on board with an Anarchist agenda, the remaining 10% of free riders and psychopaths would quickly drive the system into the ground.

Because that's an illusion. It's not completely happy and it never takes no effort.

The great illusion of depression is that is the process of a rational process rather than base animal instincts.

Dumber people are happier.

What's the value in anything, really.

I mean, this is entirely based upon what you value in life and as we know, everyone has different values and goals.

they are also called 'the originals', the only group to be in constant contact with the creator, they would go around and offer people two different types of gifts, one of power and eternal life, one of a humble life and death.. one choice was the monk's path in life, like them, the other would result in the death of the person.. they were the first culture to successfully reincarnate and recall past lives.. they would be friends with all animals, as they believed all humans had animal spirits, and theirs was the bear, live meager lives, loved honey and foraging, and loving mother earth.. the original prophecies were written about them..

i am having trouble locating any written works other than some 4chan posts and forum works.. one of the names the bear God would go under is the 'faceless' God, outsider, inbetween God.

Supposedly this faceless God went around to the different parts of the world and found a couple torn by love, both thought they were right yet each were wrong. He offered them his gift and they infact ended up killing him together.. He reappeared many times to them, with different appearances, and they used him to conquer the world and create religions and government establishments with his powers. He told them each time he would come to collect, and they would have to love each other and commit suicide together or they would lose each other becoming nothing but mere specs only seeing each other once in a while as they passed each other. Sort of bugs flying by.. They didn't listen, and one controlled the day, while the other the night, each waiting for his return each time he came by.. Who ever could woo him would get his next power.. he kept it even, knowing what they were up to each time.

He wrote and acted as the God in all the major religions, being used to kill his own people and those from around the world. He did this willingly, though being corrupted each time, letting the couple think they were gaining more and more power each time over him. Everytime he gave them an out and let them reset if they would give up every power they had, they did not and kept continuing their ways all the way until the end. He warned them one day he would come back and take everything back, and they would never know about it.

More accounts of him walking around with a lamp, with a special anointment, healing the sick and wounded, never asking for money yet always appearing to those who had faith.. He himself has no religion it seems, just a man walking the earth under many faces.. He was supposedly Odin, Zeus, Jesus Christ, Buddha, and many more prominent figures, as many people claimed they are all the same person..

You could openly criticize communism, unlike in the USSR

Saying that it might be possible that maybe Germany might possibly kind of lose the war got you sent to concentration camp.

Calling Göring a fat pig got you sent to concentration camp.

There was none.

Because it was a noble cause. Despite the socialists being wrong, their driving motivations were good

> back in the day so good?
Because there was real necessity for them to be good.

Because he wasn't that great and better Emperors came before and after him

>Because he wasn't that great

He was. He clearly had the foresight and clarity of mind that many Emperor - despite their great military feats - never had when it came to domestic matters. Julian didn't simply try to expand the Empire through his wars with the Sassanids: he also attempted to revive the Roman republican spirit by cutting off the dependence of the cities on the Imperial government, trying to make the cities - and the citizens - once more self-reliant and strong. At the time, most cities were fed by subsidized state-dispensed foodstuffs, rather than growing their own food.

He also attempted to cut off unnecessary expenditures from the Imperial budget: dismissing the countless (and useless) courtesans, eunuchs, and honorary title-holders of the court and by weeding out the bureaucracy to make it more efficient.

He was a great man. Not very many Emperors - before or after him - ever showed such a keen interest in the actual governance of their nation that wasn't simply military involvement or throwing money at the problem.

>even the Church Father Cyril of Alexandria admitted himself that he did not record the real arguments found within because they were too 'weighty' to be ignored

Now that is pretty amusing.

>I'm too stupid to start a conversation about something
>Better shitpost a thread and hope someone smarter than me does it

Not from first try, but I guess everyone would accommodate soon enough.

If you'd read Stirner you wouldn't even ask that question.

The only reason you should act "good" is because you want to, because it brings you joy to help others. The only reason you should do "bad" things is the same. Fear of punishment or wishing for some reward (whether it be karma, or favor/disfavor with the gods, social pressures etc) are what Stirner would have called Spooks; Forces (thoughts, morals, institutions) leading, coercing, a person away from his own nature.

continuing this

At first glance this would be seen to promote hedonism (whatever brings you pleasure, sensual or otherwise) but it's not. It calls for great introspection. You have to know yourself fully before you can act upon your nature consciously.

Okay.

Can't help with the history stuff but since you mentioned Theology, the Ancient Faith website has 123 Podcasts with 25,592 total episodes, and 162 Specials with 1,428 episodes. I'm sure you can find something to interest you amongst all that.

Good luck in your search, anon!

That is amazing, thanks so much. Precisely what I was looking for.

Maybe you will take a liking to what I'll be posting ITT.

Wes Cecil's lectures on YouTube:

This deals mostly with philosophy, but also "linguistics". Highly recommended. The lectures are very casual and easy going.

That's a good solution as well. I think even the prisoners would've been okay with that. Better than starving to death.
Or did everyone hate the enemy soldiers so much that letting them go home was the last thing they wanted to see?

Armies would rather enemy soldiers surrender willingly than fight. Soldiers facing guaranteed mutilation are less likely to surrender.

Freedom and Featherston

This seems vaguely familiar but I'm too lazy to look it up.

>How can one man have such an extensive and thorough understanding of history, theology, and politics?
When you make up your own understanding of history, theology and politics and back it up with Truthiness, anything is possible.

>Is he the greatest scholar of our day?
Sure he is, and kangaroos are amphibians.
