When I was a little boy both my father and uncle raped me nearly everyday. I now need enough depression and anxiety pills to kill a horse and I want to kill myself.
So do you guys think that wars are started for religious reasons or is religion just an excused used to wage war for political reasons?
>pic related(sorta)
Also, I'll be bumping with some stale /his/ memes

What drives a man to absolute political obscurity?
>>1247582
Political ambition.
Being true to his beliefs I guess, in his case.
>>1247582
he was on the losing side but wasnt involved in a war, so nobody remembers
it's like asking the general american public who william jennings bryan was. he was all over the place in his time but nobody remembers him now
>Nationalism
Nationalism was a good and progressive idea for its time. Instead of, say, Bavarians and Prussians fighting each other or Franks and Saxons fighting each other, different Italian cities...
...these people eventually came together in a long and often painful process.
Unlike what many left-wingers and right-wingers say, "Globalism" and "internationalism" aren't really the opposite of nationalism but only its logical successors we should continue.
globalism is the failed version of imperialism
>Guys, GUYS
>Lets take all these different people who have wildly different moral systems, ancestral backgrounds, cultural upbringings, and beliefs about religion - all of this, ALL OF THIS while they literally cannot even communicate with each other and, and GET THIS GUYS - FORCE THEM ALL TO LIVE AMONG EACH OTHER AND TREAT EACH OTHER AS EQUALS
>IT WORKED FOR YUGOSLAVIA DIDN'T IT??
>>1255936
These are different things.
The kind of people who support imperialist actions (like the US destroying Iraq, Lybia, Syria...) are the same kind of people who are opposed to globalism.
>South Slavs were literally the most powerful Slavs
>alpha conquerors who went furthest and humiliated Roman armies
>taught other Slavs how to read
>built cities while Poles and Russians squatted in forests wiping their ass with their hands
WHERE DID IT ALL GO SO WRONG
REEEEEEEEEEE
>>1255570
>alpha conquerors who went furthest and humiliated Roman armies
Aside from Adrianople they always lost to the Romans.
>taught other Slavs how to read
That was the Greco-Romans.
Oh look, it's another "My culture is the best" thread
>>1255570
So it's basically the old Southern vs Northern European story?
What do Protestants think of John 6:51-56, Acts 2:38, John 20:21-23, John 3:5, James 2:24 and 2 Thess 2:15?
Jesus was just explaining the Jewish Sader custom.The dogma of Transubstantiation was not even officially defined until 1551 at the Council of Trent.
It has nothing to do with true Christianjty
>>1251494
Mm, the doctrine that the bread is truly Christ's Body and the wine truly his blood definitely has to do with Christianity. The Orthodox subscribe to it and have long before the schism, in fact since the early Church. Paul said if you partake without discerning this, you do so to your condemnation.
>>1251385
>/his/ - Protestants vs Catholics
goddamn I would like a fair ratio between real history threads, religious threads and hypothetical threads
What's the general consensus here about the samurai?
Is that supposed to be some kind of New Wave album cover?
>>1248577
his hates them because they are popular elsewhere
>>1248577
They are a Japanese warrior class.
/thread.
Also your picture shows models, not Samurai. Samurai were busy not wearing armor anymore. Heck some were wearing western uniforms.
How is Christianity more life-affirming than what this guy had to say?
>original sin
>guilt
>commandments, "thou shalt not"
>it's okay if you suffer lol bcuz heaven
I can't think of any of the core tenets of Christianity that aren't just pleasant lies.
How is a commandment against murder somehow not life-affirming again?
>I can't think of any of the core tenets of Christianity that aren't just pleasant lies
Forgiveness is a virtue.
Christianity was the first large philosophical movement in the West that made a virtue out of suffering.
Suffering is not simple "OK" because it will be offset by pleasure at some point. Pain and suffering are GIFTS that we must learn to accept, and a source of evil is that we reject them.
What went wrong?

You stated a thread with bare minimum effort out of laziness and contempt, that's what.
>>1233478
>200+ boring roman pro/deusvult/byzaboo threads

>>1233465
Sabotage.
What historical event would make the best movie or miniseries?
My pick would be the Cortés Expediton and fall of the Aztecs.
It would get so many protesters it would be sort of ridiculous.
>>1253648
Paris Commune, 1871
Mexican Revolution
English Revolution
>>1253648
Fall of the Western Roman Empire.
Crusader States.
Fall of Constantinople.
Marco Polo's adventures (yes I know there's a show but it skipped his entire journey there which defeats the point)
We did it ____!
We saved _____!
>Churchill
>Europe
>>1241682
Theodosius
the Roman Empire
>>1241682
Plutarco
Mexico
What were they thinking when they took this photo?
Big Strong American > Tiny Little Jap
MacArthur was a master of optics. He knew exactly what this image would convey.
what were they thinking when they took this photo
They both look silly. Hirohito because he is a tiny man and MacArthur because of his faggot ass pants with the large hips.
>Utilitarianism is common sense
Well it is.
Please don't tell me you follow virtue ethics in this day and age.
>people attempting to apply a coherent set of laws and rules to human actions
I mean is there literally anything more autistic than this?
>>1256415
Time to donate all your money to increase the total well-being of mankind then.
If you don't, then you're following some sort of virtue ethics...
Do you guys think that land warfare and naval warfare attract different kinds of personalities and aptitudes? If yes, how so? As in, do you think that if you were to take all of the best Generals of history, and put them in a room with all of the best Admirals in history, do you think that the attitudes and behavior etc of the groups would be different from each other? Bumping with pics.

Why is genocide a modern thing? Considering we have been doing this thing for ever, why is it so 'evil' in today's standard?
>>1256139
We're not as far into human history as you may think.
>>1256139
Because most people today live comfortably enough to care about other people they haven't even met in person. Today it's all about muh feels.
>Genocide
>Modern
It my have been done on a much larger scale more recently, but tribal warfare and slaughtering masses because they're simply not like or a part of the killing party has been a thing for a while. Especially in the "a part of" context. Territorial behavior between packs of the same species is definitely not unheard of.
