Why is being exploited by the ruling class seen as desirable?

(ideology and mystification)

>>1140783
So everyone can have opportunities to pursue his personal desires. If everyone is just as able to succeed, then society will be able to advance together into a better future.

Aristotle is the greatest philosopher of all times and all of the problems of the west stem from an ignorance of his thought.

SPV is a great example of portrayal of the time, and what the people went through. The story part of it isn't the most important part, saving Ryan and all - seeing what the guys go through is foremost and by far. So it's a great movie in that term.

I enjoy Braveheart, because it's entertaining, although it does irk me a bit that it's so highly fictitious.

My favourite movie is Ridley Scott's first, The Duellists. Highly recommend it. Really accurate to its time, and great for seeing what life was like back in 1800-15. Suspenseful, engaging, great shot cinematography. Solid historical film.

There were many Jewish people running away from Nazi Germany before and during the war.

Several concentration camp escapees attempted to tell the world about what was going on in Germany. but none of them were believed until the camps themselves were found.

everyone knew the Nazi's were persecuting Jews. Not many people cared.

Slavery was legal in the United States a mere 68 years before the Nazi's gained control of Germany. Famine was still a real thing. Japan was btfo Manchuria. Life was a little tougher.

Also, the Jews have used the event to shape their entire national identity. This means any meaningful discussion on the matter that doesn't expand on the idea that Jews are the-all time biggest victims, who have been picked on for no reason whatsoever, means you're anti-Semitic. It fucks things up.

They were among the early cultures of Mesoamérica, perhaps not the 'mother culture', but they had contemporaries who were on par with them like the Zapotecs and Tlatilco. But still they are generally regarded as the 'sumerians' of Mesoamerica. Their ethnicity is still debated but believed to be among the Mixe-Zoquean groups, probably Zoque. The name Olmec means rubber people, and it is not what they called themselves, this is a Nahuatl term, a language they did not speak. The origins of their civilization go back to around 1600-1400 BC, but farming in the área goes back to at least 5100-4600 BC. The cultural área where Olmec civilization came from was in the Gulf coast of South and Central Mexico. But their influence extended into the Pacific coasts Isthmus of Tehuantepec región, into the Valley of Mexico and into Guatemala and El Salvador.

They are regarded as one of the six cradles of Civilizations. They built Mesoamerica's first cities and were among its first conquerors, making them a rival power to the Zapotecs of Monte Alban. Their principal ancient cities are La Venta, San Lorenzo and Tres Zapotes. We do not know the original names of these place unfortunately since we still do not know their language with certainty and have only been able to decipher part of the glyphs writing system. Among the Olmecs we see some of the earliest depictions of popular Mesoamerican deities like Quetzalcóatl. Possibly the rain Gods came from a kind of were-jaguar god. Olmecs seemed to have an obsession with infants, we know they practiced cranial deformation like the Maya later would, and jaguar-baby like hybrids were common memes. The human and animal (which included birds and sharks also) may be a reference to shamanism. And of course their colosal heads which some pseudo-archeologists will claim were west africans even though these features are not uncommon on natives of this área. We don't know who these figures are. They may be portraits of rulers wearing ballgame headgear or ancestors of important families. Their principal cultivations were cacao and maize. which they also sometimes made into drinks.

The Aztecs also used to collect Olmec artifacts as sort of antiques. Their artwork is really neat though.

Wow. I can't. There's probably a good one somewhere on Google, but I am surprised that no one has commented on this at all. The problem is, as soon as you put Gnosticism and Christianity on the same timeline or even say the name Zoroaster, /his/ flips out.

I don't give a fuck what people do here. It's out in the real where I realized this over many, many years. I'm just exaggerating the dichotomy between irreligious memespouting authoritarian faggots and vaguely religious memespouting authoritarian faggots neither of whom want to have any sort of discourse. I'm limited to talking about spiritual matter and practice with actual anthropologists, and even they get touchy when you move out of academia and into personal experience because they are almost inevitably beholden to their own spooks.
