Because it's stupid

Pretty sure it started with the greeks.

I think Plato was wrong in asserting that there are forms of artificial objects like beds and chairs. Suppose there was a form of the automobile. Then, since the forms are eternal and outside spacetime, it would have to have existed forever. But then how come man only invented the automobile almost two millenia after plato died? He discovered the previously unknown form of the automobile? But that's not how Plato's theory of knowledge works. You don't discover new forms, you remember them. In this case the automobile, if anything, would have to have been invented much earlier because more ancient peoples were less materialistic and remembered the forms better. I think Aristotle's view that there can only be forms of natural objects and the forms of artificial objects are created by us with reason and imagination solves this issue, and it has been incorporated, if I'm not mistaken (the Platonist scholar Thomas Taylor seems to think so) , by the Neoplatonists.

>the Forms exist
>why?
>because they exist

It's not empiricism, there's just no reason to believe it.

Hitler was sympathetic for Finland's loss in the Hyper War and sought to recreate the Ancient Finnish Empire, integrating Finland in as the capital after the fact.

The Swedes were very cautious about Hitler and Nazism while the Finns allied themselves with Hitler after the Soviets fucked with them.

Yes.

>"Christ committed adultery first of all with the women at the well about whom St. John tells us. Was not everybody about Him saying: ‘Whatever has He been doing with her?’ Secondly, with Mary Magdalen, and thirdly with the women taken in adultery whom He dismissed so lightly. Thus even, Christ who was so righteous, must have been guilty of fornication before He died."

t. Martin Luther

>"If your papist annoys you with that word (i.e. alone), tell him straightaway: Doctor Martin Luther will have it so: Papists and asses are one and the same thing. Whoever will not have my translation, let him give it the go-by: the devil's thanks to him who censures it without my will and knowledge. LUTHER WILL HAVE IT SO, AND HE IS A DOCTOR ABOVE ALL THE DOCTORS IN POPEDOM."

>being closer to god is a plot against morality
And paying money to get to heaven is perfectly moral, right?

Historically, when less organized tribes had disagreements they just migrated away from each other

More organized tribes went to war

Post colonial leaders didn't want to let go of both their territory and resources to dozens of autonomous states

It's a power settling process. It took Europe from antiquity to WW2 basically to go through this process. Give it time.

Oh right, but to answer your question

Imperial europeans were unwilling to put up resistance against African independence movements

And WWII made imperialism uncool

Much easier to install puppets, kill opposition, saddle them with debts, and leave maybe 5 loyal people who can actually read

Turks love to fight.

I guess you get lazy and brute force after your empire has access to tons of territories with people available to enlist as troops

>>1153477
arent their empires full of non-turks and non-muslims? how did they get these people to fight for them? and how did they supply their 100.000+ armies everytime?

No. Stirner doesn't attempt to disprove God at all, and doesn't see that as a worthy project. Stirner instead argued that regardless of whether or not God exists (which Stirner doesn't care about), he'd be an egoist himself, and any following of him or lack thereof could only be driven by egoism.

Following religions are not compatible with Stirner's philosophy, but believing in them is totally acceptable. The Devil, for instance, obviously has faith (or belief, same word in the Bible), but he doesn't care to follow the religion.

No, but the idea of a "God" as the source of "good" is not comptable with it.

There are such things as amoral Gods.

depends on how consistent your will is with the moral code of whatever religion, Stirner would probably say make use of the parts you like and discard the rest

>What was going on in 700 AD?
They built a lot of cool stuff in the Levant around that time. Also everyone hated them.

>for like 300 years
I don't think they lasted more than 200. Otherwise, it's because we know a lot less about them than we do the Abbasids, and they're in that span of time between the fall of Rome and Charlemagne that even most people who actually care about the early Middle Ages just don't care.

I remember learning about them in 10th grade world history. They were mentioned passingly along with the Abbassid's

Generally these days, the only history that's taught extensively in the U.S. is Enlightenment ----> American Revolution ---> Slavery ---> Segregation ---> Civil Rights Movement ---> Vietnam ---> 9/11

believing history is science is supreme autism.

However, scientific methods are used to find as best a picture as we can know about the past.

Science creates falsifiable, objective conclusions.

History is an art.

There is nothing empirical going on.

Fortunately there's enough tradition and review going on that it doesn't get fucked in the ass as hard by dumb college cunts like other soft sciences.
