Racism is racist, and is something that emerged from colonialist ideology.
Unfortunately, the worst part of its legacy is the self-flagellation of anti-racism today.

According to most current geography professors, and textbooks. Geography classes right now are unanimously critical theory and based on an appeal to novelty fallacy. Part of this involves geography academics being vocally frightened by the revival of "old" ideas, i.e. environmental determinism, because they're associated in the critical mode with outdated ideas that are perceived as reversing social progress.

The usual example is comparing popular writers like Jared Diamond to Friedrich Ratzel, because Friedrich Ratzel thought environment shaped culture, and was racist. The Nazis also thought environment shaped culture, and were racist. To most geography PhDs this makes Ratzel a proto-Nazi and Jared Diamond a neo-racist, neo-fascist reviving the "dangerous" idea that environment ----> society. Geography departments today think Jared Diamond is racist/fascist and so is environmental determinism, but only because of a very weird and convoluted combination of Godwin's Law/Reducto ad Hitlerium and Appeal to Novelty that gets peddled to undergrads.

I haven't read much books on the subject but from what I know it seems like a perfectly logical conclusion.

Of course I believe it shouldn't be blown out of proportion though.

>>380359
Ancient peoples who need someway of explaining the natural phenomena around them.

>>380359
In a broader sense, religion is an extension of tribalism. Yes, we might live separately, but if we believe the same things then maybe I can still trust you

Spooky shit is real, and ancient peoples needed a way to explain it.

Also, gods and spirits and shit are real, and they talked to people. That helped too.

The tabs are bait.

Because Hindus are a bunch of New Age fucks who worship cows and believe insects are sacred.

Can I get a non-meme answer

>>437681
I gave you a non-meme answer.

Their stupid and incorrect religion is why.

Why do you say that? Zarathustra singled out the tightrope walker because he lived a dangerous life unlike everyone else.

>>437546
Because the Zarathustrian reader will ultimately try to walk the rope and will probably die before reaching the other side.

>>437559
At least Zarathustra will take care of my body.

It's a mystical tradition that probably didn't begin with Adam
Christian philosophers fell in love with it because it seemed like it was *THE* hidden Jewish knowledge that unlocked the secrets of the divine energies governing the universe
From what I understand it influenced members of the Frankfurt school, but I'm not saying they were conspirators against the white race, only that some of them used kabbalistic principles in their work. This is widely documented b

>>437310
>From what I understand it influenced members of the Frankfurt school
WHAT? LOL No. Frankfurt's were influenced by Freud. Why would philosophers trying to analyze contemporary secular politics care about mysticism? Most of them were atheists and Kabbalahism is not compatible with atheism in anyway.

>It's a mystical tradition that probably didn't begin with Adam
No parts of the Christian religion texts are said to have been from Adam. The first 5 books of the bible are supposed to have been written by Moses and the other ones by various other authors.

Kabbalah is an oral tradition more than 2,000 years old.

>>437252
>What IS kabbalah
Jewish mystism. By doing certain rituals, having secret knowledge, and meditating you can connect directly with God. God has a symbotic relationship with humanity. You can become healthier by connecting to him but he's also connected to humans and his despostion will change based on the health humans. So if humans become more violent God becomes more violent.

Alot of the mystism has to do with reading the old testament in a special way or super-analyzing the text. It also has a lot of stuff about the secrets of angels, what heaven is like, etc.

>Why did so many Christian philosophers fall in love with it
It was mostly Protestants. Protestants had denied all spirtuality on earth, saying the holy spirit is not present in any rituals. So they had no way of connecting to God. Kabblah allowed them to do that.

Also Kabbahism comes from a time before Jesus. Christian teaching is that the Jews before Jesus were still 'chosen', still in God's favor, so these teachings were respected as being of great spiritual worth. Basically any Jews before the time of Jesus are prophets.

Kabbalah, Theosophy, Luciferianism..

It's all demonic shit.

It is as it should be. All is well with the cosmos.

Wouldn't the utilitarian be concerned with providing the most benefit to the most people? If you're acting alone against the wishes of all, you are not doing that

>first piece of evidence confirming the existence of a Jewish or early Christian community in Kursi
Uh, the Christian monastery built on the alleged site of the miracle was destroyed by Persians 1400 years ago, and was of course significantly older.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kursi,_Golan_Heights#History

Of course it proves absolutely nothing other than the existence of Judeo-Christian temples in 500 AD, which has never been a controversial claim.

No.

Personally, I find Sufism the best hope for those of us in the West to come to a deeper and more authentic understanding of Islam.

How do I into Mysticism?

Are there some books I should read?

Are there any mystic practices you would suggest?

Spiritism/mysticism is satanic shit.

You're delving into the occult.

Filthy peasant.

Yeah, just like how the people of Iran were blonde haired blue eyed germans or some other ass backwards nonsense.

Looks Yoruba, not Nok.

Nok art was far simpler in terms of its realism.

The wonders of racial ideologies, my friend.

>>431292

Why would you go into places like Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Croatia and recruit their citizens for war when their governments willingly became your ally? I mean between Hungary and Romania you have nearly 1.5 million troops fighting on the Eastern front.

Or do you think the Nazis should have deposed leadership of said countries and would have been better at recruitment?

>The wonders of racial ideologies, my friend.
Is that the only reason though? It seems like such a short-sighted waste.

>>431317
I should have clarified, I meant in countries like Ukraine or the Balts. Lots of burning hatred for the Soviets in those countries, and a huge pool of potential soldiers(at least on paper).

It was the landed gentry. The well-to-do of America, before the war.

>>430630
This

If you were a landowner, you were a New World leisured aristocrat

It was a shithole for blacks, and probably tough for all the common white farmers too

Basically it had the worst elements of the Old World back in the New World. And somehow the south thought that would work.
