>tfw French soldier during The Seven Years war
>tfw renacting the French and Indian war next week

These are good feels

I'm glad someone revived this thread. Although I was surprised my last one survived as long as it did. Does anyone do any reenacting in the greater New York area or within 3-4 hours of that area?

Crusaders lost to arab goatfuckers

they'd lose to the romans too

>>667768
What kind of Roman legion? A principate army wouldn't have a real counter to crusader heavy cavalry combined with heavy infantry.

>>667768
A roman legion would be fucked, because smaller numbers and no combined arms.
A roman army would probably fuck them, given same quality of leadership.

The true one. Same as what the best religion for men is

Tell me what human nature is and I'll tell you what is best for it.

No.

Don't take the book of Genesis as anything more than a collection of allegories.

The original sin comes from the inevitable limits of our existance. We can only live through killing other organisms, our life is technically one big killing frenzy. Just think, how many lives did it take just so you are able to shitpost of 4chan? Billions? Trillions?
We are not spotless beings, that's what the original sin means.

Because that would be racist

>>666767
Because it wasn't as disgusting as the other ones. Barbary slavery wasn't inherited or race based.
>Responding to bait

>tripfag
OP confirmed for faggot.

But yeah, Barbary Slave Trade. Why do you think we started going to Africa in the first place? African slave trade only started because the portuguese needed slaves for their colonies, and had military bases in Africa which were established because of the berbers in the first place.

Bumping my own thread

Trade Unionism to the extreme, the entire country is managed by experts arranged into councils, syndicates, communes, or whatever they may be called, the workers know their own industries best, so they will be able to manage them best is the core concept, that things will both be more representative and efficient, with all the industries coming together in a rather functionalist way, its the lovechild of the socialist state and the corporate state

>>666382
This, it's a key element in fascism, especially Italian fascism. A popular form of syndicalism is anarcho-syndicalism, where the worker's councils are organized completely democratically and run without a state. The only place where this has really been tried was Catalonia and Aragón during the Spanish Civil War.

most modern philosophy follows descartes presupposing a representationalist theory of perception.

Also, act and potency along with other metaphysics were rejected just because

Catholicism has a pleasing aesthetic. Ergo, Aquinas is right, as something that looks pretty is correct.

>>666027
>representationalist theory of perception
pls elaborate

France was very polarised. Blum wanted to help, and he sent some supplies, but his country was on the brink of a civil war

Britain wanted to stay out from the problems of Europe. They maintained this position until September 1939

Soviet Union forbid cooperation of communists and other left-wing forces until Hitler's rise. They corected this blunder, but were slow to act

>>665875
German Nazis and Italian Fascists saw it as a crucial battleground for their nascent ideology

>>665854
Because placating the French and British states were of greater importance in Soviet geopolitics due to the United Front / Socialism in One Country line.

Supporting the Spanish republic would have supported the Trotsky line rather than the Stalin line and resulted in party divisions during a period when they were clinging onto the 2nd 5 year plan by the skin of their teeth and already liquidating the party in purges.

Read Fitzpatrick's every day stalinism.

1700's Swordsmanship.

No seriously, you watch pirate movies-especially old ones- and they fight in classical fencing with smallswords/rapiers.

While in reality, most swords used by plebs were these short stubby cutlasses, dirks, and infantry swords that were brutal in the cutting department.

Pirates of teh Carribean however is interesting as the movie used accurate short swords instead of rapierfaggotry.

Tibetan weapons. Provided they *were* copies of Chinese weapons, Tibetan Aesthetic for scabbards, guards, hilts gave them a distinct Ayy Lmao feel.

Sailors couldn't wield a sword for shit, which is why most of them boarded with tools

One of the things he said was that to properly understand philosophy you can't rely on bulletpoint summaries or whatever. You have to read the text.

So fuck off.

You should really read Hume & Kant first.

You have a long way to go if you're asking this question. He's one of the few olympian end bosses of philosophy.

Fedoras are a particular internet subculture, so no.

>>665248
The Christfags we have online are a particular breed of filth, unique to the net.

My father is a Christian, for him that means helping the poor and connecting with God. For the Christfag it means bashing any historical or philosophical figures they feel threatened by and constantly reminding them of how wrong everyone else is. It's very similar behavior to the internet fedora who is defined by their inability to carry on any conversation that is not adversarial or condescending.

>>665291
I'm sorry to learn that your experiences with us have been bad. Please note that when any Christian is condescending, they are in direct conflict with our core values.

>Morality is objective and not subjective.

In that case, tell me how you derive an ought from an is

Basis of morality is one's own values and more importantly interests.

Morality is objective, but your argument is terrible

Hitler attacking Stalin.

>>664878

While not empire ending, in terms of "What the fuck were you thinking" level stupidest, I'd have to go with Hitler's decision to move 14 divisions up to occupy/guard Norway, creating a military presence there that was 1/6 of the total population and putting some good troops in a theater that never saw action, could not reasonably be assumed to ever see action, and were hard to withdraw to other fronts when needs became pressing elsewhere.
