I live in the deep south and none of my teachers have ever mentioned it in any context but a mocking one.

>>773734
Not at all in public education on the west coast at least

That teacher would be fired right away

>>773734
It's not on any official state curricula, that doesn't stop it from being taught in private schools, or, on occasion, in some extreme backwaters.

people are greedy by nature.

imagine an american colony in mars and make it self sufficient. How long we will have to wait till it fights for their "muh freedom"

>>773086
Nope. Taxation without representation is tyranny and indistinguishable from a foreign army demanding tribute from a subjugated people.

>>773226

The problem with that though is there was some representation, just not by population. Plus, if they really wanted to be completely represented things would've taken months to even reach Britain as it is.

As someone who likes America and freedom and all that, I would say the founding fathers were good at manipulation and covering their own asses. The majority population didn't care and mostly sided with the British.

No wonder the spanish bred with the local women

White people are very exogamous compared to Asians
Even the miscegenation law couldn't prevent it

>Sun Rises Tomorrow

There is no empirical reason to believe this.

>sun rising tommorow
Not without the required blood sacrifice buddy.

>>772829
More like p(if tomorrow, sun has risen)

He's saying the Germans never had a higher society, and they only entered Christian society on promises of vulgar looting.

He's also a fan of the Islamic "golden age", probably because a bunch of ancient Greek writings actually only exist in the ancient Arabic, because they spent the equivalent of hundreds of millions of dollars to translate and preserve the ancients, whereas the Germans just wanted to loot some shit.

Was Islam a hipster religion for people to take affection to in the western world pre ww2? Or has our view of it just been skewed by its current state and events?

>Or has our view of it just been skewed by its current state and events?
Mostly this.

You can argue that God is just because evil people go to hell even if he created them to be evil. Society does that all the time when puts criminals in prisons even if they care into crime only because they are neglected by society in the first place. God in be loving in some crazy way where he loves you but want to watch you suffer anyway.

>>772263

It was Darrow in the Leopold and Loeb murder case, if my memory serves me correctly, that argued for the societal hard determinism that you're talking about. I'd argue, though, that society influences us in the way we behave and act, that seems obvious enough, but it is possible to go beyond that. Not every person who had the typical childhood of a psychopath, neglectful parents etc etc, becomes a psychopath so that's more of a soft kind of determinism and thus the justice system is justified. When we bring God into the equation, though, he creates us to go to Hell. We can't be anything other than what God creates us, I think is my point, and that makes the existence of evil and evil people a choice that he made. The Irenaean theodicy doesn't really get around this, given that the basis for it is we have free will.

>>772243
It's not a problem for us at all. We're not privy to what God knows, and He's not heavy handed when it comes to our decision making processes.

Just as you cannot surprise God, you cannot disappoint Him, either. And in that truth lies a wealth of peace.

What's the difference.

>>771929
As i understand it, in common law previous rulings are treated as precedents to be followed and in civil law past rulings are seen as being more advisory

how they differ?

>>771902
Depends on the theory of truth they hold.

We pray to the Lord Materios to impart His Divine Wisdom by gnostic revelation.

>>771924
Could you give some examples?

>She is the only ship ever to have been sunk during military operations by a nuclear-powered submarine[1] and the second sunk in action by any type of submarine since World War II

Huh, I didn't know that.

So wait were "submarines" just a meme?

>>771797
No, their primary users just haven't gone to war.

>>771797
Submarines were extremely effective in the Pacific and Atlantic theaters of World War II. As far as you can get from a meme weapon

Still slowly getting through Will Durant Story of Civilization.

>>771738
"Destined to Reign" by Joseph Prince.

Scepticism and the Possibility of Knowledge by A.C. Grayling

>>771658
He was never really 'politically involved' in the same way you would consider many of philosophers at the time. Kant's philosophy fell out of his golden rule, and the politics fell out of that by extenston. As Kant believed knowledge claims could be synthetic apriori, he was much more interested in proving these and letting the political analytic apriori claims fall out of that

He wasn't really a political philosopher

>>771780
That's bollocks- his system of right was political. It was about the creation of a state that respected the primary law, freedom- which then protects the universal autonomy of its citizens. Don't post if you don't know anything.

One anon once pointed out that all these angels in Catholicism are likely Germanic influence. They are depicted as blonde warriors, carrying swords and stuff.

A more clear and modern example is in Brazil, slaves brought their gods from Africa, and after the Church started cracking fown on those pratices, the African gods were each assigned a Catholic saint and worshipped by proxy, mixing up the religions eventually.
To this day there are still some small rituals associated with African gods that are still praticed commonly.

Mexico has their santa Muerte thing which is definitely not Catholic. I've also read that Spaniards took over an Aztec temple of a female goddess and dedicated it to Mary. For a long time locals refered to Mary by the goddess' name. It was the site of an important Marian apparition too.

I love stuff like this and that makes sense.
I heard that the aryan heresy as expecially a large germanic influence and even depicted jesus with a spear.

They took over a mayan temple? one of those pyramids?

that would be kinda awesome

Speaking of the New World, unfortunately everything I find on "teologia india" is in Romance languages.

Long story short: Catholics try to fuse their theology with local pre-Colombian pagan symbols and festivites and shit, to allow for a transition to a conversion to happen smoothly without too much crusading.

A more basic example is the obsession Norwegians have with forests, walking through them and using them as places of meditation, the Church never opposed or otherwise inhibited those activities, but readily made them their own.

>Soviet Scientists and Engineers
Don't you mean Soviet spies?

Isn't illiterate serfdom exactly what future had in store for eastern europe under USSR?

>>771288
Even assuming spies played a role in the matter of the soviet atomic program their is only so much information they could obtain and relay back to moscow. They would not be providing exploded diagrams for every single component for every single machine at every stage in the complicated process of atomic weapons construction.

all womans, a donkey tail. Without womans men can't do reproduce.

it is brutal according to us, not to them. Liberals cannot stand that a society is less liberal than them, more so when the society gets bigger to the point of threatening the liberals.

1.So like tribe is a political unit not a way or being or living
2.lots of variables like access to resources, land, assimilation laws, etc...
3.what are the conditions of a particular group.

Moriori were pacifists, certain Papuan groups utilized ritualized "warfare" and revenge/honor killings. Arguable resource competition is the ultimate factor in how a society forms and engages within and outside of a community like any other political or demographic unit.

Anyways I love what I call "little peoples" small specialized populations in extreme conditions. Namibian Strandloopers, Seri, Morirori, Aeta, etc...

Wipe them the fuck out.
