Try again. Try harder.

Charlemagne's realm split into two pieces and the German part survived longer. Therefore: HRE>France

>Therefore: HRE>France
Senpai, that's pretty bad logic to live by
Ottoman Empire beats HRE by that standard

I agree.

Mao, pretty much the same thing, but for East Asia

>forced massive population boom from 600 million to over 1 billion people within thirty years fucking up everything, land and resource use in asia

>destroyed ethnic national identities of peoples in asia (Tibetans, Manchus, Uyghurs, Mongols)

>destroyed Chinese civilization, culture and identity, turning them into uncloth, barbaric trash and peasants

>created a hivemind of a billion soulless chinese jews, while distancing china from russia and creating a parasitic relationship with the US we can't get out of

>chinese people devoid of feelings, emotions, happiness, empathy. like soulless communist drones

>split apart korea, caused vietnam and the entire southeast asia to fall under communism

>destroyed the environment, making half of china uninhabitable, due to smog, land degradation, etc

Wrong fucking picture.

Because France spent centuries constantly cockblocking Austria all the way since the first Habsburgs for exactly that reason, until Austria became too irrelevant to do anything.

Unfortunately France became so focused on cockblocking Austria that warring Austria became a French tradition, and so in the absence of any great political thinkers France sided with Prussia against Austria in the Austrian War of Succession. This gave Prussia Silesia and turned it into a major power in Germany, and a rival to French influence. Then the Seven Years War happened, and the coalition wars, and finally the German unification wars, and each time Prussia gained more power by defeating France with the support of Britain, which saw a large Prussian empire as a good thing to counter French power.

because they didn't want to

Today's Queen Sforza's great ball,
Mice were poisoned, lanterns hung
and they paid off the singers.
I feel my jester face paling,
for I just read about loss of Smoleńsk,
but where's Smoleńsk, where's Kraków.

Message is sure, signatures and stamps,
but the queen frowns upon it.
Bills worry her much more.
I tie my fingers, lazy and tired,
because here is surely a dozen generals,
and they have a jolly good time!

If I could move the greatest of bells,
I'd bring them to the highest tone,
and ring them, ring in alarm!
But with jingles on my cap
and my bauble as an advisor,
who, oh who can I alert!

"Stańczyk!" - they cry -"Bring him to us"
Music and food had started to bore them.
They need to laugh at the fool.
I'm not a good jester for this times,
among the silk and golden tassels
find me a buyer for wisdom.

But no wisdom replaces the feelings,
that are with me this night, like all others.
No matter how loud's the music
I sit here, like a mute,
but why the jingles miserably ring.

This mad woman hungry for power,
swaps documents, ignores raports,
she carries out secret treaties!
Tell me she's wise, of a great family,
that east is to be ruled by west hand,
but I can't stand that bitch!

Pure Contrarianism

1. they aren't strong

2. they wanna be reactionary without imperialistic beliefs

But why not convert to Nation of Islam or some shit?

A think layer of grass would act as insulation though (trapping air), not as effective obviously.

If you think there's something wrong with metaphysics you are a self-deluded greasy neckbeard atheist that convinced himself he can bear his absurd existence by trying to "understand" what little he can by tying reality to empirical laws produced by the very same organ that can produce the said metaphysics

Science is metasphysics. The bit of metaphysics that works.

Knocking down your own city wall in a siege, tying a bunch of swords and spears to your cattle and then setting their tails on fire before letting them loose on the besiegers. This was first used in 279 BC and was last used in the 30s during the Chinese civil war.

Ukrainian Jewish Partisans.

They received word that the SS were coming to liquidiate their ghetto and did the following...

>Open the gates
>Hide in prepared positions
>Light everything in the ghetto on fire and I mean fucking everything.
>Germans are now far into the ghetto and surrounded by fucking fire on all sides.
>Resistance fighters open fire and make a bee-line for the German's vehicles.
>Succesfully steal said vehicles.
>Tear ass out of a burning ghetto while leaving the Germans there to try and escape.

The absolute fucking madmen. Sublime... Just sublime.

>Realism is bullshit

So you're asserting that reality isn't real? Or that we can't know the the true nature of the real?

>Although you gain mastery over the rules of the room you cannot ever know whether they are real and universal or just the arbitrary inventions of the demon.

so the room isn't real? Then the room does not exist.

>no indication from within the room that a certain thing is objectively moral

You can't derive morals from empirical study. See the is-ought problem.

>>588964

>>588964
>if you want the demon to treat you well

What if I want the demon to treat me badly?

>universe's rules might or might not match the demon's

Does the demon exist outside reality? Are you saying the demon isn't real?

>coercing you to accept objective aesthetics or morality

If you need to be coerced into accepting objective morals than you wouldn't accept them anyways.

I am also asking this because people from Istanbul look facially similar to Balkanniggers, but not as much to Turks from Antalya (at least the once I've met). Are they actually displaced Balkanniggers?

That God is not present is manifest; religion is just a useful too to keep those who lack the brain power or the will to examine their lives in check. Its coexistence with secular governments is a kind of doublethink; just don't think about it too much and you have nothing to worry about

Let me further explain my point with an analogy. I am a gay man. For a long time I would fap to pictures of men, yet I would call myself straight in good conscience. It's not that I was trying to justify my desires to myself; it's just that I never made that mental leap because I never had a reason too. Similarly, many people live their lives full of contradictions they never notice because they have no reason to. The religious one is just one of these

Idk the Ottoman Empire fell pretty hard. Likewise the British
