Hi /his/, I was wondering if any of you faggots would be as kind as to give a fellow Jordanian, a walkthrough/link (to an article) about the subject of Arab ethnicity, I would like to know why a huge number of Levantines are white, how many types of arabs there are, and what ethnical group did the Levantines belong to before the islamic conquest 1400 years ago. Extra thanks to anyone who can expand on the division of the Arabic world today.
>inb4 "google it you piece of shit sandnigger"
TL;DR educate me about my ethnical heritage (if there is any) :)

Oh boy another race thread. And this one with a sexy woman as the OP pic.
Already off to a great start with the assumption that "white" is a race.
This should be good :^)

Do you have a reading deficit or something? Did I mention anything about a white race? I only added the cunt because she's Lebanese, A.K.A a Levantine.
Anon wtf are you on?
I'm just going to samefag for a bit, I don't know how long it takes for a thread to 404 on this board, it's my first time.
Why did the West adopt Christianity, but not Islam? Every day it becomes clearer that Islam is more suited to us, but only now are we starting to realize it.
Even Nietzsche himself declared
>Christianity destroyed for us the whole harvest of ancient civilization, and later it also destroyed for us the whole harvest of Mohammedan civilization. The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain, which was fundamentally nearer to us and appealed more to our senses and tastes than that of Rome and Greece, was trampled down ( I do not say by what sort of feet ) Why? Because it had to thank noble and manly instincts for its origin because it said yes to life, even to the rare and refined luxuriousness of Moorish life! The crusaders later made war on something before which it would have been more fitting for them to have grovelled in the dust a civilization beside which even that of our nineteenth century seems very poor and very "senile." What they wanted, of course, was booty: the orient was rich. Let us put aside our prejudices! The crusades were a higher form of piracy, nothing more! The German nobility, which is fundamentally a Viking nobility, was in its element there: the church knew only too well how the German nobility was to be won . The German noble, always the "Swiss guard" of the church, always in the service of every bad instinct of the church but well paid . Consider the fact that it is precisely the aid of German swords and German blood and valour that has enabled the church to carry through its war to the death upon everything noble on earth! At this point a host of painful questions suggest themselves. The German nobility stands outside the history of the higher civilization: the reason is obvious. Christianity, alcohol the two great means of corruption. Intrinsically there should be no more choice between Islam and Christianity than there is between an Arab and a Jew.
In Genealogy of Morality, Nietzsche says Arabs are one of the great, blond lions of peoples.
>>1358907
Can you give us an example of how its better? And how is Islam inherently feminist?
>>1358916
Islam is better because it is more coherent. Christians have never been able to follow Christianity because it is incoherent, but Muslims have generally been able to follow Islam.
Islam is feminist because unlike Western "feminism", it isn't about trying to convince women that acting like whores and sluts is what makes them equal (when in fact it is really men behind promoting such behavior, because men try to get women to give into sex naturally, and women try naturally to resist).
>>1358907
Thanks for the picture OP. I don't think I can find a better article on the internet that speaks to how Huffington Post is pure dogshit.
Christians, masturbation, sin.
I would really like a based discussion about this with other Christians or anyone being interested.

>Go out of the world:
There are no people left to be the world. No one opposes a spiritual house that is correct. Or real right principles of what to do with lust.
>All is sin all is useless:
This is useless in the meaning of sin. Not as Ecclesiastes says.
>Lust is sin:
This is unfundable. There has to be a clear reason why.
>The whole christianity is seeing this wrong:
This is probably true. (...)
Or say or show something why not. That the whole of christianity is seeing this wrong is no reason why it would be right.

Yes. See North Korea. But it will need more land for farms to sustain it self and avoid nations sanctioning it.

Joan :
Truth is simple. It is effortlessly always already the case. We could say that it is simply present moment experiencing, just as it is -- this ever-changing, ever-present happening that has no beginning and no end, for it is always Here / Now.
Apparent complication arises when the thinking mind tries to make sense of this inexplicable happening and take hold of it conceptually. To some degree, this kind of conceptual thought is functionally necessary. It works very well in a practical sense as long as we don't forget that the conceptual pictures it generates are only relatively true, but never absolutely true. For example, "the earth is a planet orbiting the sun." This is a relative truth. It is functionally useful. But in the absolute sense, there is no such thing as an "earth" or a "sun," for these are conceptual abstractions of what is actually ever-changing, inconceivable, seamless flux.
If there is total dark, we would not see the rope so could not imagine it to be a snake. Hence “ignorance is bliss,” as in deep sleep - there can be no error. Similarly, if there is total light we see the rope clearly - in complete knowledge, we know everything to be Brahman. Knowledge is also bliss! The error occurs only in partial light or when the eyes are defective. Then there is partial knowledge; we know that some “thing” exists. This part, that is not covered by darkness or hidden by ignorance is called the “general part” (sAmAnya aMsha) and is “uncovered” or “real.” That the “thing” is actually a rope is hidden because of the inadequate light or knowledge. This specific feature of the thing, that it is a rope, is called the “particular part” (visheSha aMsha) and is covered. In place of the covered part, the mind substitutes or “projects” something of its own, namely the snake. In the example then, when we say “there is a snake,” there is a real part and an unreal part. The real part is “there is”; this is the “general part.” The unreal part, the snake, only appears to be there because the “particular part” - the rope - is covered. If light (i.e. knowledge) is made available, the rope is now seen. The “general part” - “there is” - remains unchanged but the “particular part,” which was previously projected by the mind, is now uncovered and revealed to be a rope. The snake has not “gone away” since it never existed, except in the mind of the observer, where it might have given rise to very real fears and physical effects (fast heartbeat, sweating etc.). From the point of view of actual reality (paramArtha), only the rope is real, the snake does not exist.
For a perceiver who sees a snake, that snake is “relatively” real (vyavahAra) and causes as much mental suffering as would a truly real snake. There only ever was a rope but the ignorance of this in the mind of the perceiver creates the illusion of a snake and the suffering follows. Once light (i.e. the light of knowledge) is introduced, the mistaken perception of the particular part is corrected; the unreal snake disappears and the real rope is revealed. The associated fear etc. also disappears. What has happened is that a valid means of enquiry has been undertaken into the nature of the particular part to reveal the truth of the matter. The valid means of enquiry in this example was the torchlight. It was appropriate because the mistake was brought about by the dim light. Prayer or meditation would not have been appropriate and would not have revealed the rope. The method has to be appropriate to the nature of the error. Since ignorance of our true nature is the reason for saMsAra, the appropriate means of enquiry for removing the error is self-knowledge.
When a mistake of this type occurs, what is happening is that a real part and an unreal part are getting mixed up and this is effectively how Shankara defines adhyAsa - the mixing up of real and unreal. In the case of the rope and snake analogy, the error can be viewed as a “misperceiving of the rope” or as the “superimposition of a snake” or as “the mixing of part of a real rope and part of an unreal snake.” When we say “there is a snake,” “there is” is the general part, which could be viewed as belonging to the rope, which is real, while “a snake” is the unreal, mentally projected, particular part. The mixing up of real and unreal effectively creates a third entity that is partly real and partly unreal. When someone refers to the “snake,” he does not realize that there are two aspects, one real and one unreal. If he says, “there is a long snake,” the adjective “long” in fact refers to the rope, which is real whilst, if he says “there is a poisonous snake,” the adjective refers to the unreal part. Similarly, when someone says: “I am a shopkeeper” (or whatever), he does not realize that the attribute “shopkeeper” refers to the unreal part. He does not know that there are two parts, only one of which (I am) is real.

COMO FUE QUE EL ACUEDUCTO DEVINO A SU PRESENTE CONDICIÓN?

ERES IGNORANTE, E IDIÓTICO.
I need your help, /his/. Anybody who has any knowledge of the assignation of the Archduke of Austria-Hungary, tell me what happened. Just off the top of your head. No wikipedia, no looking things up. What happened, how did he die? How did Gavrilo Princip get him?
>>1360268
He shot him. The Archduke asked his wife to not die for their children. In typical noblewoman fashion she denied this request.
The End.
He wanted to shoot him but missed his chance, went to drink in a bar, the archduke ended up driving past his bar, he got up and shot him and history was made
>>1360268
Archduke drives into main road.
Nedjelko fucks up throwing the bomb and it bounces off the hood of the Archduke's car and into the path of the motorcade behind.
Bomb explodes, Nedjelko tries to cyanide himself to death, but the cyanide was expired.
Motorcade reaces... I forget, and the Archduke's pissed.
Attempt is called off, but Gavrilo moves on with the plan.
Archdukes wanta to continue with whatever he wanted to do, so he tells his driver to go on.
Driver does not know that there was a change in plans, so he drives the Ferdinands on the old route.
Gavrilo's already waiiting for them, and he caps the Archduke and his wife with pic in OP.
Gavrilo tries to poison himself, but cyanide is expired.
Gavrilo is caught and Austro-Hungary uses that as casus belli to invade Serbia.
WWI.
A long time ago England was ruled by indigenous Anglo-Saxon kings.
In 1066 vikings living in northern france invaded and took over. Gradually over time they culturally became English, but they remained part of Royal houses based in Northern France/Western Europe. In the 13th century they conquered Wales, then after they conquered Ireland.
Then one king decided to split from the Catholic church, establishing the Church of England.
Then a queen left no heirs and a Scottish King took the English throne. The aristocrats didn't like the absolutist tendencies of him and his heirs and there was a civil war where England became a republic and decapitated the King. Also during this time the Scottish religious establishment adopted some calivinism and broke away from the catholic church.
Because the republic was a failure the aristocrats asked the son of the king they killed to come back and rule them. He was alright but HIS son was a catholic dickhead who the aristocrats hated. So they asked a dutch guy to come and rule them on the agreement that he can't be an absolutist king and has to accept the authority of the aristocratic class in Parliament (Glorious Revolution of 1688). Since that restriction on Royal power by parliament the power of the monarch has decreased steadily to the point where today they are merely a symbolic figurehead.
Then the dutch guy's line failed to produce heirs so they asked a german cousin to come and take the throne (Hanoverian Succession).
This German/Hanoverian line of British Monarchs has ruled uniterrupted for the past 200+ years. They changed their name to Windsor in the early 20th century due to anti-German sentiment.
I wrote this off the top of my head. Any inaccuracies?
>indigenous Anglo Saxons

ok I guess that should be part-indigenous instead of pure indigenous.

When and why did art become more about ideas than about technique and training?
>>1359633
About the time photography obviated technique.
Art isn't about ideas, it's about being avant-garde. Avant-garde is the sum of valued content. Whether that is an idea or a feeling or just something that looks avant-garde doesn't really matter.
It happened when sculpture and painting were divorced from architecture.
The reason is that art and beauty stopped having a role in everyday life as people became more focused on utility.
Now art needs to have some extrinsic purpose to justify its existence rather than existing for its own sake. It has to make a political statement or drive "progress" in some way. Things that merely look nice do not hold much value in our society and people tend not to spend time on things that society doesn't not value.

How did Hannibal know his cavalry would best their Roman counterparts?
Wouldn't his whole plan fall apart if his cavalry weren't able to complete the encirclement?
>>1359643
Because Roman cavalry was infamously terrible, and his own horsemen had kicked their asses before at battles like Trebia and Trasameine.
What is it to be "Holy"?
"Holy" literally means set apart. It means to be set apart from the rest of the world.
Something set apart, generally with respect t something set apart for God, but it can also apply to God himself as he it set apart from creation itself.
