After 70 Years, can we finally put this fucking question to rest?

>Was the German army's use of machine guns as the base of fire better than the Anglo obsession with the Cult of the Rifle?

Which doctrine does the American army use today ( last major FM was written in 1980 so it won't break 20 year rule)

if it were the case that there is no objective ontological basis for atheistic morality - is that even a noteworthy problem at all ?

Yes. How can you decide what is right and what is wrong without magic book that tell you so? Its like impossible for a human to do.
>>
>>1388370
Yes, clearly in the late bronze age and early iron age the tribal peoples had a much better understanding of ethics compared to modern times, as demonstrated by their moral teachings.

It triggers spergs that don't understand that morality is, was, and shall always be, based on the might of the majority.

Hey /his/,

I would like to know more about the military in Iceland. I'm not speaking about "vikings xd", but things more recent. Did they play big roles in the world wars? How about things since then?

All I can really find is things regarding the Icelandic coast guard and things.

Thank you for any contributions you may have!

no, they could have been nuked 400 years ago and nothing would have changed in the world
>>
>>1388278

They didn't do much in WW2, I know that. They were occupied by Britain and later the U.S., with some protest, but non-violently. Used as a naval and air base, but again, it was British-American forces stationed there, not the Icelandics themselves.

Dunno about WW1. I assume they were still a Danish quasi-colony/protectorate at the time and thus stayed out of things, but I don't really know.
>>
>>1388278
what military? they have a couple of lightly armed patrol boats and rescue helicopters. There´s a big NATO base there, Keflavik.

You should definitely go to Kraków, which was during middle ages Poland's capital. Some worthwhile places:

- Wawel Castle: royal residence contains expositions about it's medieval past. In adjacent cathedral church there are magnificent gothic tombs of polish monarchs.
- number of churches all around the city. In St. Mary's there is a great late gothic altar by Veit Stoss. Church on the Rock is historically significant. There are also St. Catherine's, Holy Trinity's, Corpus Christi, St. Andrew's, all gothic or romanesque.
- there is a new neat museum on the main square: http://www.podziemiarynku.com/
- there are remnants of medieval fortifications, most notably the barbican and St. Florian's gate.
- lots of jewish stuff, concentrated in Kazimierz district, with a gothic synagogue
- Collegium Maius - museum located in the medieval university building
- close to the city is located oldest benedictine abbey in the country : www.tyniec.benedyktyni.pl
- of course Wieliczka salt mine is a must
- inside the city limits lies cistercian abbey at Mogiła
>>
Make sure to go to Malbork which is like 30 minutes drive from Gdansk. Gotta see that Teutonic Castle. It has tours in tons of languages so you'll definitely have a good time

Are tastes subjective?
8 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>1387543
Of course. And I can't remember what the substance is, but if you eat it, the taste of everything else changes.
>>
>>1387543
Is there any proof of it I wonder
>>
>>1387543
Not quite, in some ways it is very much so but in some it's very much objective instead. Take for an example Yogurt and sour Milk. If you would eat only yogurt for a month or so you would find Sour Milk to be sour and the opposite if you dinned on sour milk for a month and then ate yogurt.
The same for certain body parts. In some cultures and ages big tits are good and in some others they aren't, stuff changes.
Still, there are many objective markers, such as symmetric bodies and facial ratios resembling the golden ratio being seen as more attractive and sweet things being easier to get used to in your diet.
Hope that made sense.

Are there any good books about Stalin's life that aren't biased as hell, either in positive or negative way?
I find him to be a fascinating person to be honest.

Most unbiased sources, like diaries of Anatoly Chernayev who read some classified info on him, generally show him as a very shallow and petty person with love for raunchy jokes.

Ironically enough, Chernayev himself looks like a very shallow and petty person with love for raunchy jokes in his diaries.

The Court of the Red Tzar is pretty fucking based. It isn't critical of Stalin, but it also doesn't sugarcoat his flaws. Excellent book.

4chan often speaks of specific things being patrician or not, like a certain book or philosopher.
ITT: let's discuss how the Patrician Man LIVES in large. What is the patrician lifestyle?

What patrician stands for ?
>>
recognizing flaws and working against them before they consume you

realizing that hedonism is good, but not everything, life is short and the worth of trying to achieve great things

embracing reality and learning how the world really works, then taking calculated risks and making an impact on it

It never ceases to amuse me that this whole global war was caused pretty much singlehandedly by George Washington.

Fred Anderson "Crucible of War" is the best on the new world conflict.

Robert Asprey "Frederick the great" good bio with plenty on the Prussian side.

There are a lot of academic studies on the French Army during the war, etc.

Why did the church favour the ideas of Augustine and condemn the ideas of Pelagius? Specifically Pelagius' idea that admission into heaven may be granted to all those who use their freedom of will virtuously, contrasted with Augustine's doctrine that God grants His divine grace to those who he pleases to choose, regardless of how virtuous and devotional they are. Because, surely, the church would wish for people to be under the impression that living a virtuous and devotional life will allow them admission into heaven, as it provides an incentive to lead a good life, so to speak.

Not strictly /his/ I know but if all these famous historical figures were black and Europe was predominantly black then what happened?

Where did the white people come from? How did they drive the black people into Africa? Why is there no evidence of any of this?
