They get poop on all the roads and they hold up traffic but generally they keep to themselves so it is kind of hard to complain.

Keep in mind they aren't one uniform group. Different Amish communities have different standards for what they will or will not tolerate. This allows many Amish to have businesses where they sell things like furniture to "The English" which is their word for anybody who is not Amish.

Well-meaning people but misguided. They rightfully recognized the degeneracy of modern society and decided to cut off entirely from it and do their own thing and completely disregard new technologies. But they fail to realize that certain new technologies and structures in the modern developmental world can be greatly beneficial. Also you can't ever isolate yourself from the world at large, you will always be part of it no matter how much you try, they will eventually be forced to face the reality like everyone else, the world isn't like it used to be. I think they will be gone within 100 years entirely, when they realize the huge advantages of modern technology.

How do you define the value of a product?

actually modern capitalism doesn't even involve much labor, mostly speculation.

socially necessary labor time

i bet you whine about the "totalitarian regressive left" inbetween making such statements, but i'll tell you why. the right wingers on this board are entirely ignorant of history and philosophy, they come here to shitpost. marx is both history AND philosophy, so he's pertinent and on-topic.

MK Ultra and the Tuskegee experiment. And the existence of the NSA.

Depends how you define "conspiracy" theory. I mean, there was a concerted conspiracy amongst Southerners to kill Lincoln. That's proven at this point. Same with Nazi scientists after the war "defecting" to America with Operation Paperclip.

But as said, the NSA is a big one. The whole of the military industrial complex is another. My only really crazy one is that UFOs are fake and pretty much the whole UFO craze is created and kept going by the government in order to conceal the real shit they do.
Honestly, there are probably more real conspiracies out there than fake ones. You only hear about the outlandish ones in the news in order to discredit questioning the government.

This. The media likes to discredit people like Alex Jones as just a looney, and while he is mostly a looney, it's hard to discredit all his theories considering America and all the other Powers' past. I don't know if it;s still considered a theory but NATO funding ISIS is pretty valid.

I'm sure some virgin is reading this right now and thinking "fuck yea I'm intelligent"

literally communism


and no we can't guess what would happened if there wasn't communism except that everything would be better

Unfortunately, they endured decades of terrible communist regimes.

that map is not up to date.

Nothing. The world is not composed morally (Hume, Nietzsche) and no moral position can be established to the satisfaction of others (Kierkegaard). Moreover, History as a discipline confutes the moralising of historiography (Ranke, Thompson).

Fuck off cuntface.

Nice. I can use this as copypasta to annoy everyone.

The failure to properly modernize the economy led to a rise of fundementalism in Islam. People who live good lives areally much less likely to blow themselves up.

I'm blanking on the name, who is that Russian guy who thinks that human written history is only like 1500 years old, and written records prior to that are all bullshit?

I don't think he was actually proposing adding those as new amendments, but used it as a vision for what the US should be working towards.

Even the most stubborn New Deal Liberal would know that those vague amendments would be retarded.

Do you ever beat your students?

What are the differences between the average Western practicioner and the average Chinese practicioners?

Which Chan school do you follow?

What is the Buddha?

To clear some common misconceptions:

1. Chan is not buddhism. It is often misleadingly called zen buddhism.
2. Chan is not about meditation. Those guys you see meditating 8hrs a day are buddhists.
3. Meditation is mostly unrelated to enlightenment

Fellow Buddhist here, although following Theravada teachings.

What kind of meditation technique do you practice? Did you reach any jhanas?

I've only been reading the communist manifesto. I'll check these out, are they good?

The most common response I've seen is that for sinning against an infinite entity you get infinite time. The reasoning seems watery but I can't nail down exactly why.

Because the governments and elders needed to scare the people into submission. If an eternal hell is real, I don't think anyone deserves it. Not Genghis Khan, not Stalin, not Mao.

God made you eternal, can't take that away.
You choose to avoid heaven, order has to be maintained for ensure happiness of all beings.

You won't cease to exist, you'll just live outside of God influence because you wanted so.

French and UK don't pussy out when Hitler comes to power.

Hitler is cucked.

Stopping Germany will only limit Italy, but Soviet Union is out there and can be still agressive. Not to mention stuff in asia.

In case of Germany

Well, you better tell her that microhistory ain't got shit on positivistic history and that she better starts teaching you about great persons and great events before you delve into historicism.
