Post creepy people from history. This guy was pretty much what would happen if someone worshipped Khorne in real life.

Hey, can christo-/his/'s collective knowledge help me with something?

I once read a quote by an Indian or eastern Asian (don't remember it exactly) Guru/ Priest/ Spiritual teacher, that said something along the lines of, that people should follow their own western philosophies/ religions/ teachers, instead of making pilgrimages to the east.
Does anyone know who said that? It would be very helpful for something I want to write...

> What is consciousness? What is a true awakening? That's a complex question but it's really simple when you look at through a historical-cultural lens. Consciousness is our entire cultural genetic experience as a specie is stretching back into the mist of time through our instincts and through our genetics up until this point.

> The great lie is that we are just these alone individuals. We are individuals but we carry with us the hope, the dreams, the passions, the sins, but also the great works, and the love of those that came before us. We are them.

> And we have that love of those in the past and that electric connection to the present focusing forward into the future and when you don’t have a sense of the space-time continuum, or the journey and its mission, if you don’t have a sense of believing in the species, and believing in its survival and believing in its ascension, then you have cut yourself off from what it means to be human.

> And that's the big globalist virus. Is to make you cynical, to make you hateful, to never let you go through rites of passage when you're young, to never go through cultural rituals that are meant to release chemical reactions in the brain that unlock race memories, consciousness memories that are far beyond the limited state of instincts, to allow you as a current sentient being, to commune and and experience all of the genetic wealth and history and thought and dreams of those before you.

Historically speaking, what is the ideological basis behind pan-turanist thought on the european continent?

By studying the ethnogenesis and pantheon/mystic pre-christian folk religion of the magyar people, it should become abundantly clear that said spiritual conceptions are heavily inspired by norse germanic cultural area.

Despite this, the pan-turanist ideologues do these incredible mental gymnastics where they somehow link all of these european archetypes and folklore traditions to some asian steppe tribes in bumfuck nowhere somewhere behind the urals. And all this based on some vague supposed linguistical links between magyars and said asian steppe peoples - Nevermind the fact that genetically speaking they have nothing whatsofuckingever in common!

So why is this, how did these claims came to be in the first place? Pan-turanism strikes me as even more absurd and illogical than pan-slavism. At least with pan-slavism there's somewhat of a consistant geographical link (even though a "slavic race" as such of course never existed), but in the case of pan-turanism we are literally talking entire continents from the postuled "source population" apart.

Is he one of the more overrated leaders from human history?
His military plans seem to have been ripe for failure whenever they weren't massively overhauled by his own marshals and generals and his speeches, the main point he is remembered as a great leader, don't seem to have had much impact.

Britain has the likes of Newton, Turing, Maxwell and Faraday.
Germany has the likes of Gauss, Planck, Leibniz and Euler

Where are their French equivalents? Why is it that the nation that was once the most populous and wealthiest country in Europe is so underrepresented in pretty much any list of the greatest scientists, mathematicians etc.? What limitations did France have that only made them capable of producing second tier scientists like Pascal and Descartes that are entirely outclassed by their German and British counterparts? Is it culture? Work ethic?

William Lane Craig likes to show that Jesus rose from the dead as inference to the best explanation.

I have to admit that after looking into it thoroughly, it is indeed the "best explanation". However, so what?

History is very long, and the evidence is massively flawed. Under materialism, history is some sort of chaotic deterministic system. Every now and then, of course an event will happen such that the remaining evidence results in the best explanation being miraculous.

People these days always use the 50's as a scapegoat for a very conservative and sexist period of time. Is that an accurate portrayal though?

How do I find my heraldry? And check it?

>The coat of arms of the Northampton and Hampshire Knights are probably the oldest grants which have been bestowed upon the family. They are described, in the order named, as follows (Burke, Heraldry, 1844);

>Arms.--"Argent, on a fesse between three bulls' heads erased sable, armed and ringed at the nose or, a fret between the two doves of the field"

>Crest.--"A dexter arm embowed, vested bendy wavy sinister of four or and gules, supporting with the hand a sword in pale the point resting on the wreath, the pommel surmounting a pair of spurs proper."

>Arms,II.--"Argent, three pales gules, on a canton of the second spur or, withing the bordure engrailed azure."

>Crest.--"On a ducal coronet gules, an eagle displayed or."

"The American Way of Living" is my favorite picture of all time. In this photo, ideology is shown in it's purest form. In the background, you have the large, encompassing drawing of the upper-middle class white family smiling towards a bright future, meanwhile lines of text convey nationalistic statements about some "American" lifestyle, and that this lifestyle is somehow statistically the most preferable way to live. Below the propaganda is the true economic reality of the moment, namely that this is a lower-class black community completely destroyed, (due to a lack of infrastructural resources provided by the government) by a natural disaster. Interestingly enough, the poster is the largest thing in this picture. In the same way, the spectacle that is ideology is always the most visible thing in our society. Although the reality is that the small majority of middle to upper class (predominately white) communities are not at all a true representation of the totality of the American experience and lifestyle, this sect is what we predominately see within the spectacle. As an aside, yes there is media depiction of inner-city realities however it is always viewed as a glimpse into the Other. What is unfathomable is the full embrace of this lifestyle as a fundamental part of our American experience. Media such as The Wire and most of hip hop music will always exist however they will never be 'the thing.' What I mean is that it will always be a split from the majority of American media as a cold reminder that is destined to be forgotten on a political level by the viewer.
