Liberal democracy by far provides the best human rights and standards of living, though arguably the system might be more of an effect of economic development than a cause and something more like classical liberalism is more adept at coaxing humans into creating a society that fulfils a moderate mix of utilitarian and traditional deontological moral goals.

A question for Christians, which sect is right? Theoretically, let's say I lived a Christian life, accepting Jesus as my lord and all that good stuff, would I go to hell if I was in the "wrong sect" like let's say Coptic. How do we know which is the "true sect" and why?
Pic unrelated
>>1327182
If you define the "right sect" as the one that follows most closely what Jesus taught, you've probably got the Ebionites.
Too bad the Paulians wiped them out.
>>1327182
NO SECT IS EVER "RIGHT".
>>1327182
There is only one Christ. Follow His teachings, not the establishments that act just like the Pharisees Christ rebuked.
If you can commune with God you are in the clear. If you spend your life in fear of "which Christian is the best one" think about when Christ says
>"A house divided against itself cannot stand"
When the church is divided, it will fall. If Christians can find peace amongst one another, they are united and show love for eachother.
If a Christian condemns you, they are not doing it right. Some tell you you're going to hell and others are so stuck in their church establishment they look for God outside of themself.

/his/ has a friendly planned today against a VGL team (/hanny/) in about a couple hours.
Stream link is here if you'd like to tune in. http://implyingrigged.info/wiki/Main_Page

keep up the good work

Who the fuck is /hanny/?

A /vg/ league team. No clue.
But they challenged us because apparently they got a lot of 6-5 losses which was pretty memey.
Game'll be started about now actually
can we agree that the white race has profitted over the looting, genociding and conquering of other races?
can we agree that whites are evil and the white race should be destroyed?
Can we agree that you're a shitskin or a cuck?
>>1327083
First part is true. Second part is false
>>1327083
only if no other race has profited from that... oh wait... EVERY SINGLE TRIBE THAT SURVIVED DID IT BY MURDERING OTHER TRIBES

How?
The answer is inaccurate historical chronology, and erroneous dating.
>>1327053
they used the exact same system to list all the kings, the numbers after second dynasty of uruk are pretty "normal"

>Early dates are approximate, and are based on available archaeological data...
Archaeological data which is erroneously dated, and put within the context of an inaccurate historical chronology.
So I learned today that noblemen in 17th-18th century France, were not allowed to conduct or own businesses. Of course, they used to proxies to get round this but this seems so stupid, why was this? Was it to limit the potential power/wealth they could accrue? It seems to lead, inevitably, to the clash between nobles and bourgeoisie that happened in the Revolution.
>>1326875
The French kings basically kept the French nobility in a state of luxury on purpose. They made up the whole ballroom culture just to keep an eye on the nobility and to keep them pacified. What came out of this culture was a bunch of faggy men so rich and indulgent all of France looked at them with disgust. But by keeping the nobility useless the French monarchys power was absolute.
>>1326875
This was actually common among nobles going back to roman times. Engaging in merchant work was seen as crass, even immoral. You got wealth from serving the state or owning land, not buying and reselling things.
But then by today it's gone full circle, the interest-seeking industry is about as bad as the rent-seeking/protection-racket industry.

Local politics were generally either a struggle between king and church, or between king and lords.

Or between kings and other kings. Damn kings, they ruined kingship.

Explain this meme to me, why it wasn't two way road, like in Africa where epidemy would kill you even if you white.
Whitey got syphilis instead.
Also, Eurasia + Africa gives you a lot more opportunity for disease compared to the Americas.
>>1326505
The New world had a relatively low population and very low population density. Infectious diseases occurred, of course, but they very rarely spread to large communities which would develop immunity.
Over in the Old World, however, you had a lot more communication between population groups, and a lot more urbanization. Consequently, you had a lot more disease in general, which led to greater immunity.
European diseases were much nastier because Europeans were much less sanitary and had more domesticated animals. European settlements were literally covered in feces. That didn't happen in the Americas.

/his/ are you familiar with that feeling when you are asked to change your opinion but you cant because your family or friends are there?
For example, if you are alone and someone tells you of something that is contrary to how you see things you are open to his suggestion.
But, if you are with your family and friends, two problems arise.
1)You are not sure if your parents or friends are willing to accept this suggestion so you go back to the default position which you know your family/friends support.
2)you feel sort of uncomfortable pressuring them to do so just because you did.
For example, why can it be embarrassing watching sex on tv with your parents at certain ages?
Because the sex scene is like a suggestion that forces both the parents and child to accept a new state. Both the child and the parents dont know how the other side feels about this except of course in this particular situation, unlike a direct question which you need to answer, it by default forces an answer on you if you refrain from answering.
Are there terms that describe such situations or these in-group dynamics?
It seems to be these two issues are at the heart of dealing with groups of people and the reason why people as individuals are often reasonable but in groups "turn into morons".
If we talk about more relevant issues, like immigrants.
How do you deal with problems of groups of people who come from a more violent society? or a less educated society not aware or ready for western social nuances?
How to address groups in a way that would make each in the group feel assured everyone else in group have been persuaded and thus be receptive to the new information himself..
Otherwise an individual can be taught and explained to but when he is back in a different group he cant but participate in the group dynamic of said group.
Essentially, how to talk and persuade groups. How to penetrate their in group dynamic and change it...
Perhaps doing it anonymously is the best way? Like, having everyone be in a video/chat kinda thing where people can honest about what they think as oppose to face to face where there is pressure on them from their groups.
This is a really interesting thread and idea, but it will probably get overrun by memes, wiki posters, and armchair experts
OP here.
Tinder sort of glides near this issue.
What it does is match people only when both already agreed to being matched.
This is as oppose to real life where one risks embarrassment and rejection as he or she approach the other.
The system acts as a mediator that anonymously finds out what two people think of a question and only when both agree does it match them up.
Another type of group can be an already existing couple.
Lets say they both want to have an open marriage or a threesome but each is unsure if the other will agree.
Each of them faces two problems.
1)embarrassment if the other disagrees.
2)the fact the one who asked cannot be completely sure of the sincerity of the other, cause perhaps he or she are only agreeing because they want to please you and will criticize you on the inside or with others when you are not around..
I gave a radical example but imagine a system that alerts you and your partner when both of you want to do the same activity.
This means you can avoid a power struggle that is always in the middle of group decisions making.
