>Wasn't Peron a fascist?
Why would this make his wife unloved? Many people in the 20th century liked governments and leaders who were fascist.

Maybe your problem with understanding is your sitting room morality that is incapable of historical empathy?

>>584724
I'm curious from a normative perspective, that is that fascist governments are usually later on despised.

>>584729
Which is why contemporary fascist governments exist in areas which had previous fascist governments (25 year rule).

Which is why Tujman and Milosevic were so detested in their own polities based on the hatred for ustashe and cetniks.

…

I think your norm is shit.

Is religious something you can really pick and choose? How absolute is a doctrine when you can just pick whatever suits you?

1. god isn't real
2. the chain of events is too ludicrous to have any credibility: baha'i is islamic fanfiction -> islam is christian fanfiction -> christianity is jewish fanfiction -> judaism is sumerian fanfiction; but we finally got it right this time guys! the super duper real i 100% promise you this time he's genuine prophet of god is here, again, and he's in this insignificant part of the world, again

They all have a familiar base.. i.e. "don't be a dick". Where they (abrahamic or monotheistic) religions fail is through absolute rules.

"Alexander knew that if he killed the Persian king the superstitious Persians would flee"

>>584577
no real source but standing and fighting after the kings has fallen seems like a very western thing to do wearers fleeing at every chance of misfortune or bad omen seems to be an eastern thing to do

His driver was drunk.

Allied Generals killed him to keep the peace with Russia and because of International Jewry.

>but it does seem like the world is mechanistic and deterministic.
Where the fuck did you get that from? For the last 100 years western science and philosophy have both pretty much reached an agreement on how analytical thinking is pretty much wrong and the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts

>>584221
In what sense?

Many mathematicians would say that is deficient.

because it's what takes us apart from other animals - we are always trying to make sense of the chaos that life is and we wear clothes.

for some there are no immutable rules, no universal laws and no inteligent concept in the universe and nature is seen as a chaotic element following random paths... and this is too much to bear for some so they decided to believe all that ever happened in the universe is all part of a major plot decided by someone we can't see but sense

Your appointment to FEMA should be finalized with the week, I've already discussed the matter with the senator.

posting weeb shit should result in permaban to be honest

and apparently Aztecs had

>>584100
Aztecs had straight up blood-everything. Their actual sports would end with a sacrifice. This isn't including the custom of kidnapping other tribes' warriors, lashing them to a tree or stone, giving them a shitty weapon, and expecting them to defend themselves from highly skilled eagle warriors.

The ancient norse has Glima, which was like grapple style wrestling... that ended with someone's spine severed on a fucking rock.

He was like Louis XVI; not a particularly terrible king, but he ended up paying the price for his terrible predecessors.

>>584053
He was too much of a romantic to be a king, much like Louis. He let his crown slip away from him.

>>584040
He spent far too much time focusing on music and art and too little time focusing on politics.

He didn't conquer much.

>>583865

It wasn't the scale of his conquest, it was the fact he was a borderline genocidal madman who accomplished what no other Roman commander could which distinguishes him.

Well shit my other half of the post didn't copy and I can't be assed to write it all down again. But what I'm asking is basically, how come the aforementioned world views, whether you agree them to be philosophies or not, affect public discourse (on the internet and/or IRL), and "Social Justice" affecting academia, school systems and public opinion, while actual philosophers do not? inb4 Zizek, what he says hardly influences anything.

I suppose this is partially due to viral media, you no longer need to write a well thought out book or essay, all you need is a blog and a keyboard or a camera and a youtube account, and, like magic, you suddenly affect public opinion more than any philosopher.

Might add later something else that I maybe forgot from my original post

anyway discuss

>affect public discourse (on the internet and/or IRL), and "Social Justice" affecting academia, school systems and public opinion

While having no coherent work or "the" book behind it. Obviously it's because it's widespread and appealing ideas, but that's the thing, did a situation like this occur in the past as well?

You have a philosopher jerking off in the dark writing some would be brilliant idea, say Plato, Schopenhauer or Locke (just a random example) but his ideas don't reflect his contemporary society.

Intellectual discourse is shaped mainly by salaried, professional intellectuals. Actual philosophers tend to lie outside that narrow sphere/clique.

Intellectuals and academics have historically drifted towards socialism and social justice because of a desire to inhabit and design societies where the talents of the intellectual/academic will always be in demand:

No, that picture isn't correct. There was no "kingdoms" of Finns throughout Scandinavia. They where like 20k finns in all of Finland when Sweden colonized it.

Homeros was a Fin.
