A dark day for mankind.

yet ireland gets all the glory

how does it feel to be cucked by a country that has never achieved anything and is using the same flag as you but with orange instead of red?

Feels bad man

> they're not annexed by their neighbors

Literally what would be the point

>>850166
They're meme states. They aren't annexed because they're offshore tax heavens.

>>850173
They look ugly on maps and make the job of those who are in charge of writing map keys a little bit harder.
There would be literally no downside to annexing them.
Nobody would even care.
99.9% of the world population barely knows they exist.
They're not members of the EU, NATO or anything of the like.
With a small company of 100 soldiers you could take each of those countries several times over.
They're fucking useless and their borders disgust me.

> I dislike dualism because it means there is something inherently mysterious and inexplicable outside of what we can research scientifically.

But why should we assume that even the scientific method can do away with all mysteries? Ultimately, it seems like scientific explanations rely on basic forces - that is, to avoid an infinite regress, we must postulate some irredcible power(s) of nature - and *why* these forces, rather than more or fewer or different forces, will remain an unanswerable question. Even if we could find some deeper explanation X for those forces, it seems like we could further ask "why?" and seek a still deeper explanation for X.

In other words, it seems to me that humans can always ask "why?" and thus some mystery will always remain.

Sure, but it's a different situation. In particle physics we have working models with predictions and experimentally verified. Asking for even deeper explanations is some very high-level curiosity.

In studying consciousness however we don't even have a starting point. We still haven't figured out any method of explicitly relating the subjective experience to anything physical. We have no mechanism for qualia. All we have is some vague hope to say "Somehow our experiences are caused physically, but we don't know how".

Have you tried reading the critic of pure reason?

quite drunk so just replace all the words which don't make sense with ones that do, you know what I mean

It depends on robust heuristics to decide in fuzzy cases.

As long as you define principles to redrive rights, you can apply these principals to "discover" the rights of new transhuman agents.

The trouble is parse out sociopaths who love to muddy the waters by arguing against human rights.

WE WUZ SLAVES

Indentured Servitude was a thing and in many ways even worse than slavery because when you own a slave you don't want to kill it because they're an investment but an indentured servant doesn't so they'd beat the shit out of them and a lot of them died.

Yes because children are stupid, naive and often unaware of their own decisions

It can fuck a child up psychologically. Even if they give "consent", they may not realize what they're getting into.

Are there kids who had sex and ended up fine? I'm sure there are, but I'd consider them the exception not the rule.

>>848509
I had a friend who was 14 that wanted more than anything to be a professional wrestler.

If a professional wrestler heard that and offered to go 1 on 1 with them and the kid agreed, would that be right? Of course not, because kids can not comprehend what they are choosing to do.

it was the truth

>>848508
Because Napoleon was such an invincible badass that only God's will could have caused him to lose the war.

Tolstoy hated Napoleon

Nah, the Bourbons made white their official color because they felt it was God's color or something
They even made France's national flag a plain white flag

>>848443
Visibility was one - Bretty important in the smoke and dust of battle. Brits ran away with red because it was the cheapest bright dye.

State/Dynastic Colors- Swedes went with blue and yellow coz..their flag & king.

Unit markers- Cavalry often had different uniforms than infantry.

>Are there any books on the subject from the Muslim viewpoint?
Hopefully not. Theologically driven history went out with Ranke. But there should be books ABOUT the Muslim viewpoint.

>>848022
The crusades hardly had any lasting impact on the muslim world. Muslims did not even have a distinct word for crusades, as they saw it as the continuation of the standard war between them and european powers.

>>848022
There wasn't any unified opinion in Syria during the First Crusade (as there was none for actual military action).

Beyond obvious war atrocities, actual Lordship over Muslims in Latin colonies was pleasant, and thus a local surge in Jihadic sentiment was very slow to crystallize.

Anglos

And Germans.

Because he annexed a tonne of city states, does no one here seriously play civ 5

One was enough, but why two?

Mongols

>>846791
What's the terrain/location?

>>846791
The Mongol cavalry would have been unlike anything from Roman times. They would get savaged.

Sorta. We dont get free glory, we shit in toilets and use refrigerators, we have slightly less liability.

Yes, at least in the sense of material conditions and safety. Obviously, we don't have knights or peasants at our command or any sort of major political power.

>>846041
Did you shit in a toilet and wipe with something today?
