See this people here? They're known as the burakumin, the "hamlet people", in Japan. They are (still) considered impure workers because their work consisted of butchers, undertakers, tanners, executioners - basically stuff that has to do with death and they were outcast groups.

But the question is; why? Isn't it a contradiciton? What would japane do without burakumin? There'd be no undertakers if people died? No source for meat? No executioneers? No leather? I really don't get it.

Apparently japan had/has a very pescatarian-friendly diet, and somehow they consider killing animals wrong because some buddhist belief or something, I'm not really sure, while still being okay with killing fish because they're coldblooded. Please correct me here.

What a weird country. And to this day, butchers/workers in slaughterhouses are reluctant to tell people what their profession is because they don't want to be mistaken as burakumin because they still face a lot of discrimination by employers and people randomly sending hate-letters.

People who do tasks as "base" as that are often looked down upon, although it's funny because without these people society would probably crumble.

Japs are just dicks, like everyone else.
>>
>>1378092
True, but these people are considered lower than the peasant and fisherman. That's what's so weird about it. It's like, you have the lower classes under the samurai, nobility and emperor and stuff, but then you have the burakumin even under the peasantry

Is Buddhism one of the most based and practical systems for overall well-being there is ?

A quick read of it makes me think it looks similar to Epicureanism.

But usually, Buddhists are goddamn hippies who don't really think about how to control their desires.

the more I think about nibanna, the more I see it has dump a poo.
at first, you do not know that you have poo in you
then you notice it
you understand that you just need to let it go
then you clearly feel it ready to leave
once it left, you know that it left and you feel light and serene.

Because i started to read the Book of Mormon and found it the most stupid thing ever. Never finished it tho, i picked that up at my city library
>>
>>1367270

The Book of Mormon reads like it was written by a child. At least the books of the Christian canon had to go through some sort of review process before the church councils decided they were good enough. Joseph Smith just wrote his own crappy book and told people it was on par with the Bible. But the difference is pretty clear. You'd have to be some sort of rube to read that book and think 'wow, what an inspired piece of literature!'

>Mine would be Trajan or Augustus

Why? Just because you saw a History Channel ® documentary about le ebin roman empire at its fullest extent under trajan? Or le ebin pax augustus? Well lemme tell you something, kid, thats a load of pop history bullshit memery that means nothing. The best roman emperors are ones you've probably never heard of. I'm not even going to tell you. You're gonna have to go out and actually READ the history for yourself to find out. Good luck

I know roman history extremely well(Majorian is my favorite emperor)..Trajan and Augustus are the most politically successfull saying they aren't is absurd

Catholics are the cucks of Christianity. The Orthodox Patriarchs are fighting against the degeneracy of humanity while the pope is washing refugees' feet. What a joke.

Why didn't America nationalize its rail system like the rest of the world? Conrail and Amtrak are the closest the US ever got (aside from the US Railway Administration during WWI), but even those were limited attempts at propping up certain segments and routes of the nation's rail system. And on a similar topic, why no massive electrified rail systems like they have elsewhere?

because it's a commercial freight system

Railroads are public services/utilities like highways and canals and should be regulated as such.
>>
>>1377186
but it's cheaper and faster to just drive or fly, why spend trillions upgrading the rail network in a country larger than almost every other country when different infrastructure that provides the same service is already in place.

Has there ever been a foricibly peaceful dictatorship?
Dictatorships and democracies are alike in that leaders create foreign enemies and wars to garner support for themselves.

Has there ever been a dictatorship that didn't engage in warmongering/hatemongering while still ruling with an iron fist?

It pisses me off, it's basically a new religion.
Some people have some rational such as "We need to bring religion into the 21st Century."
I would see that as a crummy way of saying "We believe in Human Rights over religious privilege."
But by saying you can do anything because it's current year is asinine.
If Trump loses and they're is no rebellion, I'll convert to Islam and start a Caucasoid/Mongoloid supremacist organization.
BECAUSE IT'S CURRENT YEAR!
Muhammad called niggers raisin-heads, and only liked Bilal because he wasn't sub-Saharan black.
I'm going to Germany in spring, and I'll lay the groundwork for an Aryan Caliphate, that will finish what Hitler started.
