what difference does it make?

It's anime-tier

Because it's a position only taken by cry babies were told they had to be given purpose in life by authority figures only to find out they were being fed lies. They are more butthurt about the lies than they are about choosing their own purpose.

The United States and former Soviet Union's nuclear arsenals make this question easy.

If you want a more interesting discussion then perhaps you need a more specific or interesting question.

Get specific OP or the answer is easily NUKE

It's entirely accurate. The only differene is that the squid people actually had dolphis as their emblems, not squids. otherwise it's spot on. the dragons, the gladiator arenas, the large wall to the north - everything.

GoT is a painstakingly accurate recreation of later 11th century BC Munster area in Ireland.

Interesting.

So there was no effort to "side with America"?

No one has been able to cement revolutionary political gains without a transition to authoritarianism. Communism preaches botton-up rule until it gets power. Then those same things become threats to the revolution.

Instead of addressing this contradiction head on, Gramsci ramified it, creating the school of thought that basically you NEED an intelligencia to run things, and to create class contiousness in the first place. Variations of this have now been the dominant school of Marxism since the 2nd half of the 20th century. So they learned, they just learned the wrong lesson.

>Gramsci ramified it, creating the school of thought that basically you NEED an intelligencia to run things
Way to misinterpret what an organic intellectual is.

Good job. Read Gramsci next time.

>how
Lions historical range was pretty large so I'd imagine lions would have been relatively well known since prehistoric times

>why
Because they were an apex predator and look majestic

Lions used to roam over southern europe until the Greeks and Romans exterminated them

Lions have lived in Europe since prehistory

Truthfully, the bear was more highly revered until the early middle ages

>>526186
But lions in Europe were extinct by the time western Rome fell, and there is no proof that the lions in your picture look like the ones found in sub Sahara.

Wolf and bears are also apex predator,they also look majestic.

Positive, but only because of the most basic functions of it, not the appropriation of the potential for indoctrination for a multitude of purposes.

Having gullible children that will take it at face value that 'you shouldn't swim in the river because there are crocodiles' or 'don't eat random mushrooms' rather than question it and 'test it for themselves' would seem to be a necessity.

That's not indoctrination into an ideology.

>>525968
Positive, but only because of natural selection.

Rich parents make it difficult to discern environment from genetics/culture, but when it has been going on for this long, waning but always waxing again further down the line, you know they are doing something right.

mootnote: Obama is related to King John so let's all accept genetics plays a role and not get into any race bait or /pol/-tier nonsense.

How were these terms even made then?

Good is what you like and evil is what you dislike.

look up the word church.

If you have a single family of accumulated wealth and political power and significant noteriety, who becomes king or queen is less significant than the place they join in marriage. Why do we want to listen to god instead of ourselves?
That's why bastard is a formal way to shit on someone.

>>522746
It is, though.

>How could anyone have ever thought monarchy was a good idea?

Tbqh the emergence of specialization and hierarchy in pre-history almost precipitated the rise of monarchy, although when humans were isolated to small villages and tribes, the priestly class were the rulers pretty much.

So, a hippie Deepak Chopra basically? Fuck no.

The fact that he's ignorant enough to be making such bold statements about one of the least understood subjects in modern society should answer that question. Plus, just look at how he dresses himself.

A self-defeating argument.

The video that this quote is from is so good https://youtu.be/7nIRJVmZ4K8

Because the Jews and Greeks have alphabets and the Roman civilization isn't a desert.

>>521472
Because there have been buddhas throughout all consciousness and what distinguishes guatama is the traditions which developed after him that give us all easy access to the 8 fold path?
