What are some of the most misunderstood ideas/ideologies?

My vote goes for: Anarchism, Communism and Nationalism.

They are not misunderstood. They are shit by themselves.
>>
>>965126
That depends on what you mean by misunderstood. Are you talking about the ideal concepts or the practical implications?
>>
>>965137

I'm sure you have some misconceptions of each of those.

Anarchism is probably the worst off, people think it means you just wan't to destroy stuff.

So basically the three boards that talk most about this subject is /his/, /k/ and /tg/.
I know that /his/ is very much a board dedicated to history, but it seems that the military side of things on here revolve around pitting two hypothetical armies against each other or some speculative scenario than I guess a proper look at tactics and stuff.

I don't know, that's just the impression I get.

This isn't a criticism of /his/, just if there's a point in looking at the other boards for this.

Pic mostly unrelated.

I'd say cut out /k/ they are good for pictures or weapons or armor but spout crap.

/his/ is kinda shitty but you're likely to get more responses here.

/tg/ is great but sadly a thread there will be archived in a day

/k/ is the best for military history. Hands down.

/k/ is your best bet

What are your thoughts on Hinduism? It seems like a more complete religion than Christianity/Judaism/Buddhism, no?
120 posts and 12 images submitted.

>>963933

At least by my reckoning, it isn't a religion so much as a constellation of similar religions with some overlap. As you point out, there's no founder, no single teacher, no universally believed in God or Gods, no doctrine, no set of beliefs or actions that you can point to and say

>You need to do/believe X. and avoid doing/believing Y, to be a Hindu.

It would be like calling "Abrahamics" a single religion because they all believe in one God, claim it's the same God (more or less) and have at least some notions in common; and that's clearly ridiculous.
>>
>>963933
I think Hinduism ties more in with philosophy. It's more representative of Indian spirituality. I don't think it was really meant to be used outside the east. Hinduism was heavily influenced by Buddhism anyway.

Somewhat related, their prayers are super weird. My mom is an Indian Muslim and she is still weird-ed out by Hinduism despite being surrounded by them. A lot of Indian muslims think Hinduism is super weird for some reason.

Why were the French never considered Germanic when Charlemagne Ruled over more of France then Germany, and according to 23 and me their blood is too close to tell much of a difference?

But the French are considered Germanic

They don't speak a Germanic language.

Also most of Germany was originally Celtic, that's why they are so genetically similar.

Hitler thought the English were closer relatives of Germany then France, and they didn't speak the same language either.

Ha ha, honestly thought you were gonna say something like "He betrayed the Aryan case for the JEws" for a moment.

And I don't think you can call him a traitor unless he had personal reasons to do it. He thought that was the best way to secure a peace for the Brittish people or at least allowing her to not go unprepared into war, having the destruction of the last war in fresh memory.

not really, because we probably wouldn't have lost the bible if that were the case. we permanently lost many works of plato and aristotle. forever, because christians didn't copy them
>>
>>972204

Christians did copy them down. This wouldn't have been a problem if pagan barbarians weren't destroying civilization and burning books wherever they went for hundreds of years. Should the church apologize to us because they couldn't copy all their books faster than barbarians could destroy them ?

Given that the universe is infinite in size and time, does that mean that anything that can happen is happening right now and has happened, also happens in the future?

how exactly could it be infinite in space when according to the big bang theory it came from a small, finite size?
>>
>>>/sci/

>>969162
The universe isn't infinate. We know that it's expanding.
We could say that it's "conceptually infinate" becaues it's far too large for us to comprehend, and that it's infinate in the sense that it contains everything that exists.
But it's not literally infine, or the weird stuff you mentioned would be happening
