It could be, if you elaborated your point more.

No because you could see there is an external world while not thinking it has an underlying reason to exist.

Was the Indian famine orchestrated by the British justified?
The British prime minister mercilessly turned down appeals from two successive Viceroys, his own Secretary of State for India and even the President of the US!
Subhas Chandra Bose, who was with the Japanese at the time building the Indian National Army in hopes of freeing India, offered to send rice from Burma, but his offer didn't even get past the censors.
Millions of dead Indians mattered not to the blood-thirsty powers-that-be. What mattered was annihilating the Germans and any other souls who dared resist the hidden world power's plans for global slavery.
Britain's Indian slave army fared no better. Unlike the Axis, who treated their Indian volunteers as equals, the British treated the Indians as their lesser in every way. They earned half of what white soldiers were paid and were discriminated in many other ways, like living conditions, food and worst of all on the battlefield. According to Kundan Singh, a veteran of the Indian National Army, the British kept Indian soldiers on the front lines while white British soldiers remained 'safe behind the wall of Indian soldiers.'
But this was nothing new. Britain treated it's Indian soldiers no different in WWI, even using child soldiers, some as young as ten years old!
Furthermore, British nurses were not even allowed to help wounded Indian soldiers at field hospitals! They were only allowed to supervise orderlies. Imagine that, crossing an ocean to fight another man's war, getting wounded, and then not being good enough to even be treated by a professional.
Winston Churchill left this charming comment to history:
'I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits.' - Winston Churchill
it was because the japs threatened sea trade and cut them off from Burma rice, Churchill did nothing wrong
I don't want to defend the fatty but
>The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits
yeah, it's like that since the emergence of life.
Is it wrong that I immediately felt bad about the little dog instead of the person?
I was asking /his/ if there's such a thing as divine authority and whether or not Pharaoh/Caesar/Jesus had it.
There's half a dozen "did Jesus do x,y,z" and "is Christianity/Islam/Judaism x, y, z" threads that don't get deleted mods. Why can't I ask what /his/ thinks of the Great Pyramid's fortuitous coordinates?

lol, I like how some versions of the Bible openly call into question its veracity, like they're intentionally trying to sabotage Christianity.
Let it be understood that those who are not found living as He taught are not Christian- even though they profess with the lips the teaching of Christ.
If some should accuse us as if we held that people born before the time of Christ were not accountable to God for their actions, we shall anticipate and answer such a difficulty. We have been taught that Christ is the first-begotten of God, and we have declared him to be the Logos of which all mankind partakes. Those, therefore, who lived according to reason (logos) were really Christians, even though they were thought to be atheists, such as, among the Greeks, Socrates, Heraclitus and others like them.
For I choose to follow not men or men's doctrines, but God and the doctrines [delivered] by Him. For if you have fallen in with some who are called Christians, but who do not admit this [truth], and venture to blaspheme the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; who say there is no resurrection of the dead, and that their souls, when they die, are taken to heaven; do not imagine that they are Christians.

While there are Ethiopians who look like that, I doubt that woman was an actual Ethiopian, unless Ethiopians were significantly "blacker" back then. Thanks to being FARMER'D, most but not all Ethiopians look like a combination of both women. Didn't the Greeks call all black people Ethiopian?

I notice that "redlining" is a big theme/bugbear in discussions of why the modern American ghetto is such a savage place. But it tends to be tossed out there as part of a word-salad of maladies and not actually described very robustly - ie, descriptions of "redlining" do not explain why limiting home-buyers to specific geographic areas would therefore lead to mass-violence and other woes.
From a global perspective, things that could be described as "redlining" have been the norm in many different societies across time. China has an entire system of residency permits to prevent rural peasants from flooding too quickly into larger cities, for example. This has not apparently led to gang-warfare in the streets of Chinese towns due to redlining. In a country like Malaysia, ethnic housing segregation is common and expected - this does not seem to lead to gangsterism.
What actually IS the causal mechanism being asserted between historical redlining in (some) American cities and local social malefaction in 2017? Every attempt by historians to describe the process ends up relying on unstated/implicit premises where we just have to assume that A ("redlining") causes B (social disorder) by some force of nature. Is the case more robust than that? Am I being uncharitable?
So your premise is that redlining is supposed to have caused violence in urban Black communities?

Can somebody please explain me the concept of Caesar/Caesarism in Spengler?
Is this the stage that follows the current one?
Opinions don't count, read Peter Turchin instead; he uses actual data.
>>3208827
Yes, that would be the next stage for the West. Caesarism is essentially late civilisational dictatorship (possibly hereditary). It is the reassertion of blood (instinct) over money/ideals (plutocracy/democracy/etc). The given civilisation has experienced the erosion of tradition and the exhaustion of high spiritual and artistic possibilities. More or less practical worldviews prevail at this point, which differentiates this kind of one man rule from that of the 18th C (pre-revolution).
Caesarisms, for comparison:
1. Egypt - 18th dynasty
2. Mesopotamian - Babylonian Empire
3. India - Maurya Empire
4. China - Qin & Western Han dynasties
5. Classical (Greco-Roman) - Sulla-Domitian (the official empire begins somewhat later here, but confused attempts begin before that point)
6. Middle-Eastern - Seljuq Empire
7. Mesoamerican - Mayapan League
8. West - to be seen... (the US would be the obvious choice of dominant power)
* Russia (?) - way too early, this culture has barely began its ascent
20th C dictatorships of W. Europe may be seen as foreshadowing, but these were bound up in democratic/socialistic (idealistic) trappings. Read any biography of Julius Caesar. There is less a concern for ideology and more for raw power. Insofar as the given civilisation manages to perpetuate afterwards, it remains in an essentially stiffened mode of existence (China, India, Middle-East).
I know this will turn into shit flinging between /pol/ and non /pol/ but we need a final solution to the Humanities question.
>>3208776
Humanities should be merged with /lit/ (literature + humanities). Idiotic humanities memes like Stirnerposting originated there anyway.
>>3208776
There is literally nothing wrong with the discussions on here. It's just leftist SJW safespacers that can't stop sperging out and shitting up the place
