>there are two gods, one good, one evil
>there are two main aspects of the world, the material and the spiritual
>the spiritual was created by the good god, therefore, it's good
>the material was created by the evil god, so everything connected to matter, human bodies etc. is inherently sinful
>the goal of the religion is to get away from this flawed material world
>practicing ascesis, swearing off of sex etc. is encouraged
>according to some sects, the old testament god not the same as the new testament one. the former is the evil one.

Solution to problem of evil is that God in fact pretty evil or maybe just powerless to stop evil. Actually there are two Gods, one is evil and the other is powerless. Seems logical to me.

>>categorizing historical events/persons as "good" and "evil"
What's wrong about that? There are reasonable working definitions of good and evil in society, why should they not apply to history?

>>1321917

It's not entirely clear. Local populations fluctuate for a variety of reasons. The easiest answer is that economic prosperity leads to population growth, and wars fought on home territory lead to population decline.

What makes it even weirder is that the amount of land under the plough has fallen in Britain quite dramatically since the medieval period.

I know this is a meme thread but there are an annoying number of people who unironically believe this.

So... Why Germans doesn't waited before winter ended for 9 month without that shit?

>stomp the fuck out of the Germans
>incompetent

Daily reminder that Germans literally lost half of a land to Poland and was destroyed by Russians in the end. So much for superiority.

Slavs were some of the least incompetent in the entirety of WWII. The logistical nightmare and planning required for the Red Army to push from Stalingrad to Berlin was nothing short of amazing.

Soldiers are molded by training and experience, your background will not matter. If Germans had Soviet-tier training and T34s with shitty gunsights, they would've suffered massive casualties, too.

Pop history belongs on /int/, not on a board dedicated to discussion of actual historical topics. Unless your topic is actually about debunking pop history.

No. Have you ever tired to steal a rib from a black man?

Hell no, retard. If the internet was as addictive and destructive as heroin there would be worse things to deal with than shitposting constantly in an anonymous Internet image board because you have zero self control.

Were other systems of government tried?
Maybe in the smaller states?

It was ahead of its time. There was no reason to change what isn't broken.

It was when the conservative elements of the Royal court became entrenched that made the system more of a detriment than an advantage.

Imperial China is like Madonna. It reinvents itself.

And by reinvent, I mean brutal civil wars.

I'm using the King James Version, by the way. Definitely open to recommendations, I'd like a version that's more difficult to criticize.

Because of the conflation most Christians use to attribute "qualities" to Satan. It's a convoluted mess, what they've made Satan to be, and it wraps into a nice little package which was never the intent.

I've seen the death argued from two perpective, one that they've experinced rpiritual death of being separated from god, which is what the original sin is and the only redemption is through faith in Jesus Christ, which repairs this connection with god and makes you enter the kingdom of heaven, if you don't put your faith into Jesus in this life, then it's too late for you and you will be seperated with god forever, thus hell.

The other kind of reasoning I've heard is that eating the apple introduced death into the world, so while they didn't die instantenously, their lives eventually ended as a result of eating the apple, if they abstained from doign so they would've lived forever, thus god didn't lie at all.

Also, don't forget that old testament didn't refer to the snake as the Satan, the snake was recasted as Satan in the new testament, which obviously came quite later.

Because in WW1, Russia crumpled politically when you had a bunch of Germans charging in and beating them in the field, and they assumed the same would happen again.

cuz dem mf commies needed to go lmoa

Because of Hitler's racist ideology. He wanted to genocide eastern lands and replace the populace with Germans.

He thought it was a good idea because he was a knuckle dragging racist.

Russian Jews were subject to Pogroms (violent persecution), whereas German (and most other western Jews) enjoyed equal rights in comparison to their gentile countrymen. Western Jews sometimes were subject to popular or institutionalized antisemitism (Dreyfuss affair) however they were rarely (if ever) subject to violent pogroms as those seen in Russia during the turn of the century.

How assimilated were German Jews in Bismarck's time? Did ghettos exist?

>>1320996

The Jews native to Germany were quite assimilated. However, as a consequence of Pogroms and famines in the east, huge numbers of Russian and Galician (Austrian) Jews (Ostjuden) migrated to the West, eventually reaching Germany, France, Denmark and the U.S. Those eastern Jews unlike their western counterparts, had their own unique culture based highly upon their local cultures. Around the time Bismarck unified Germany, Jews did not face any legal persecution and as such they were not required to live in Ghettos unlike their Russian counterparts

Neoplatonism was equivalent with Platonism, because they were both the same movement. Platon, Plotinos, and Gemistos Pletho, were the same person.

>>1320541

It has "neo" in front of it, so just think of Neo from The Matrix.
The Matrix is evil, because the machines who made it are evil and want to oppress The One. You need to take the redpill (gnosis) to leave the matrix and enter the real world.

Neoplatonism is basically the philosophy than continued the work of Platon, accepting the same principles and following the same method. It's not, however, just a repetition of Platon's work - like someone said earlier (And no, Plotinos, Prophyre and the Neoplatonician were not the same guy as Platon.) - it brought new ideas and reflexion.

>He thinks anarchism could work in a multicultural society.

Well, OP, I don't know how to break it to you, but how bout instead of name-calling, I'll point out why national anarchism is a joke. Where to even begin? It is ahistorical. All of the major branches of anarchism (-communism, -syndicalism, even the shitty ones like the -mutualists) have rich historical traditions behind them, and they address real, systemic problems with capitalism.

Throwing "national" in front of anarchism is a meme. Every national anarchist I've met and read about has been either a fascist in disguise, an edgy teenager, or someone on the cusp of true self-awareness (which would have pushed them into a real anarchism, such as the ones from above [excluding mutualism]). Throwing "national" in front of anything is stupid. Take a look at the national communists in Russia; they're straight up neonazis dressed in red. They're not communists. You're not an anarchist.

Real anarchism is against nations, borders, racism, and all other negative, limiting factors. National anarchism has managed to place itself into a confining little box, and that's what it will remain: a confining, shitty ideology, with no historical basis, resulting in a pseudo-tribalism/factionalism. Tell me again how that is anarchism?

Here's the thing. If there were a way to go back in time to explain to all of the great anarchist theoriticians what "national anarchism" is, they'd either kek at the absurdity of it, cry at how utterly shameful it is to call it anarchism, or they'd just punch you in the face.

Just call yourself a fascist and stop pretending to be an anarchist. You're not doing yourself any favours engaging in such folly, because any real anarchist would think that you are their enemy, because you are. Being an anarchist means being a revolutionary, meaning that if, in the future, there were to be a revolution, you'd be basically fucked. You are going to get curb stomped.
