I thought of this too. What I found was that conquered peoples COULD have been worthless sacks of shit.

Namely because they did real horrid things. Like all is a slave and sometimes someone gets his heart cut out while being alive. (South America)

Or constant bloody barbaric war that will probably never end. (the indians, though not entirely sure)

Lots of own baby killing without reason and going to war too much without this being necessary for self preservation. (the Phoenicians, Africans)

Is there anyone that knows more about this?

It comes down to whether you see conquering other lands and people as something glorious or evil

Under pure market conditions yes because r > g, where the return on capital accumulation naturally outstrips the rate of growth, fueling income inequality which creates a negative feedback loop of suppressing aggregate demand, creating economic deflation, creating more inequality which exacerbates the problem.

The only way to create a sustainable middle class is with state-interventionism. Otherwise your society ends up like the other 99% of human societies: conspiratorial oligarchy.

that's not true, the middle class can invest in the stock market and property as well

The only reason they still exist is because of debt and low interest loans

Literally just the state seal in front of a white background. Disappointing as hell considering the centennial flag looked so cool.

>Capitalism = Obeying America/The West

to prevent the domino effect, communism would have swept across south east asia and the region would have ended up a totalitarian nightmare like north korea to this day

American policy makers in the 60s didn't really understand that communism wasn't a monolithic force.

In the 5 year period before the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, you'd had the Gary Powers shootdown, the Berlin Wall, Laos had stopped fighting the commies, the Bay of Pigs had happened, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and LBJ was pretty sure the communists had killed his old boss.

LBJ saw these events as something similar to the creeping expansion of German power in Europe up to WW2. He had cut his teeth working for the Roosevelt administration in the 30s, and he figured that the communists desperately needed to be confronted.

I think it's meant to be a law of sorts against apostasy, because cults can't work without coercion.

Correct.

Belief has to be incentivized with promises of reward/threat of punishment in order to survive against other beliefs in the petri dish of ideology,..

So dogma naturally develops to fit this purpose. Note, It is not as though the religious collective does this on purpose (except the occasional founder/reformer/interpreter) it is just that the dogma that matches this criteria is more likely to survive, and survival results in more followers. It's the Goldilocks principle, only with religion.

Earth matches preconditions for life incidentally, out of millions of planets, because it randomly meets the criteria by being in the right place at the right time, not because it was deliberately and consciously fine-tuned to harbor life from some inhospitable prior condition.

Do devout Orthodox Christians generally do either of those things?

The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters.

I'd prefer to clasp to my bosom their brothers and sons, if you get what I'm saying :33

Yes, to govern and teach.

Technically, the chicken evolved over hundreds of generations, so the question of whether the chicken or the egg came first is purely semantic.

>>1312446
Eggs evolved hundreds of millions of years before chicken.

Don't forget the giants.

Rather than looking for what is "true", look for what is "right". What does your conscience tell you?
THEN question it (a step to never forget). Why does it feel like this or that is right? Can you rationally explain why it must be so? From what are your feelings and thoughts formed, from what context? Have you been open-minded, have you considered the perspective of others?

Also, you know, not being confused and not questioning yourself is a sign of a bad character. You're a good person for thinking in these terms, OP. It should serve more people right, especially on 4chan.

This extended pattern of behavior sucks though. It is hard to accomplish anything when you could always be going down a morally false path. I'm not sure if such doubt without action and not just 'moving forward as best you can while still progressing' is considered neuroses, but either way, it is a valid question to ask and it isn't that simple.

Also, that might've been the nicest thing that has been said on 4chan, anon.!

Look after your brother, always. And helping him doesn't mean examining his flaws and explaining them to him. That's just pouring salt on the wound.

Encouragement, love, and compassion for when he needs it. Love your brother as you love yourself. It sounds corny, but you want to help, that's how.

The poor, the widow, and the prisoner in a cell. All could use love and compassion.

And not to do these things as rote, but from an understanding of their despondency. Don't kick people while they're down, lift them up.

Is Russell or Hume the worst philosopher of all time?
