He is beholden by engramatic brainwashing to repeat certain memes that he thinks will garner (You)s.

While this meme is not totally false, I'm not sure how using BCE and CE are simply fedora tier

Better follow a deity that's cool with suicide, so your soul will go to their afterlife.
I recommend Ixtab, the goddess of hanging yourself.

Who was the greatest monarch of England?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNGz6LYY6_g
>This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle,
>This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
>This other Eden, demi-paradise,
>This fortress built by Nature for herself
>Against infection and the hand of war,
>This happy breed of men, this little world,
>This precious stone set in the silver sea,
>Which serves it in the office of a wall,
>Or as a moat defensive to a house,
>Against the envy of less happier lands,
>This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England
-John of Gaunt, "Richard II"
>>1330160
There is ONLY one English monarch that is known as "great."
Henry V
>>1330166
That's only becase Athelstan, his grandson, is not more known.
If Puella Magi Madoka Magica was based off reality and in particular, this transcript:
> Would you like me to show you proof? Human and the incubators have shared history together. We have intervened in your civilization's development since prehistoric times. Throughout the ages, countless girls have made contracts with incubators, had their wishes granted and then succumbed to despair.
>Madoka:
Stop it.
>Kyubey:
Beginning with a wish and ending with a curse. It's the cycle every magical girl has repeated up till now. Some have started revolutions that changed history, while others elevated human society to new levels.
>Madoka:
That's enough.
They trusted you. All of them. They trusted you and you betrayed them!
>Kyubey:
Oh no, we weren't the ones who betrayed them.
You could say their wishes did though. Wishes are things that don't exist in the current reality.
And anything that deviates from reality is bound to create a distortion. So why does it surprise anyone that these things end in disaster? It's the natural outcome after all. If they think that's some kind of betrayal, they shouldn't have made the wish in the first place.
Don't get me wrong. I don't think they're foolish. It was thanks to their sacrifices that human society developed as far as it has.
It was the suffering of all the magical girls throughout history that laid the foundation of the life you have now.
If your civilization benefits from their sacrifice, why should the lives of a few people matter in the grand scheme of things?
Which civilisations in history have been most linked to Kyubey and magical girls?
Conversely, which ones are linked?
I like to subscribe to the theory that if Kyubey really was real, he introduced agriculture to humanity, according "The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race"
http://www.ditext.com/diamond/mistake.html
I'm thinking the Mongols weren't magical girls, because they were nomads, which made it more impressive.

SHAFT hasn't made a good anime since SZS.
Could Hitler have been a magical girl?
I think not, because he had a moustache, and girls tend to not kill 6 billion Jews
What do you think about this?

"See, all these contemporary or near contemporaries that don't mention Jesus didn't have a reason to. They we're Roman historians who wouldn't have much interest in a Jewish rebel."
Isn't this just going in circles? Detractors argue that we can't trust Gospels has a source of historical evidence but people who believe Jesus existed argue you can't trust the historians and their lack of interest. Which is the correct one?
If they don't have much interest in Jewish rebel, how come Pilate executed Jesus personally?
If no one was interested in talking about local Jews, how come Josepheus talks about Jesus and the local cult of Christianity when he's writing to the emperor? How come he is the only one? It makes sense that he wrote about rebel leaders like Anthronges and Simon of Peraea because those involved military campaigns, but why Jesus?

Josephus wasn't a contemporary. He was born about four years after Christ's death.
The incentive to write the gospel's was to create a religion centered around the peasantry, as a big FUCK YOU to rome.
>>1329974
also josephus was a jew
an upper class roman jew
but still a jew
and so he had incentive to mention early christians
who were jews
Why bother with ethics when EVERYONE worships power in the end?
You take any guy who did bad things (whether mostly petty bad things like Steve jobs or full on extreme end of the spectrum like George bush or even Napoleon or Stalin) and soon enough they'll be respected and liked by most people.
This question may sound edgy but are ethics just a way to oppress the weak?
>>1329948
Hello Stirner, nice meme. I think I'll take it.
If you are too blatant about it people will resent you.
If you want to exercize raw power best to convince everyone that you are doing some right. Enough people that the other side can't dictate the narrative.
ethics are a way to oppress people who don't follow our social contract. i don't see them as a way to pick on the weak so much as pick on the different.
Did war medics treat enemy soldiers as well?
>>1329928
No they disregarded their training and shot them on sight.
Of fucking course they did when the battle was over.
There's no single answer.
It varies upon time, country, and even unit or combat envorinment.
Typically, a nation's armed forces provides medical assistance to its enemies when it is far more prosperous than its enemy, and often has a larger edge in the conflict. For example, it has been the US's policy on the issue ever since WW1.
When two large nations that are in a very even war and neither side can afford to spare the slightest of resources to do anything that does not directly involve the war, then this shit doesn't happen. Like in the Eastern Front of WW2.

Hey /his/, all this Brexit talk has got me wondering, is there a book out there on what life was like in America in the years immediately following their Independance Day?
A whole lot of shooting, being that they had to go to war to actually enforce it.

has anybody though that maybe magic is real in the sense that belief can make miracles?
what if God is real if a group of people believe in him?
what if a God stop existing when humans stop believing in him?
What if pol has created a God that can make miracles?
Wise frogposter.

This would be a powerful tulpa that would be possible due unknown, supernatural mechanics in universe. Or maybe a poltergeist given too much attention.

is this an unheard of concept to burgers?

Only when we are all one race, one culture, speaking one language, one religion (atheism) have one world government and have ascended past the shackles of capitalism to synthesize a greater system of wealth creation.

Why did all the centers of antiquity (Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Greece etc.) degenerate to such a great degree? Only Italy and China (and perhaps India) seemed to avoid this fate completely
I highly doubt Western Europe and the US will fall so low even if they lose their current status

Spain and Portugal say hello m8
Also in the case of Italy it would be a third world country if it wasn't for the North
The things that made a country good during the Bronze Age don't matter as much now.
Specifically, proximity to river valleys where high population density could be achieved with primitive agriculture.
Nowadays, what's important is the state apparatus that regulates the economy.
Only Western European cultures, and people imitating Western European cultures have really gotten good at that.
They were overrun by barbarians who had a stronger motivation (grabbing some usable land) than their highly cultured victims (doing artsy things)
