Daily reminder that almost all of the modern world's problems stem from the French Revolution and this man

Louis XVI did nothing wrong.

> Louis XVI did nothing wrong.
He did support thirteen colonies though, he clearly deserved everything.
Before Robespierre people were being executed daily by the Commune based on nothing but disparaging press articles, while the country was descending into total chaos of both civil and foreign war with no economy or revenue to speak of. Robespierre restored order and likely saved France.
>Louis XVI did nothing wrong.
Louis XVI did everything wrong, but I don’t see what that has to do with Robespierre who only came to power after Louis had been executed.

Hard to beat Art Deco. Always my favorite.
Tell me about them /his/
Them being barbarians is a bluepilled meme. They actually had an empire which was quite comparable to the Romans, but due to Jews gaining power in the Empire and infiltrating the Church, many of the great germanic philosophers and Histories have been lost.

dude, same.
why the fuck did they travel most of the known world and then invade and control spain? what did they want? where were they from? why did they come? where they running from someone? was it attilla the hun? who were the huns anyway?

Divorce much more uncommon. Men could afford to pay for entire family
My question regarding criticism. If the 50's was this racist, white privilege, anti-free speech place, why is this time held in such high regard?
What else do you enjoy?

commie please
Would the South ever emancipate slaves and give them rights on its own?
The trend in the western world for the last couple centuries was to do so. I'd imagine the southern states would have done so eventually.
It would have happened eventually
shit, even share-cropping was basically just one meager step above slavery and just about as profitable for landowners
Yes. Industrialisation and the development of modern farming equipment rendered the work done by slaves obsolete. It would be more economically beneficial (at least, in theory) to emancipate slaves to become consumers in a capitalist society instead of having them live off their masters.
can some ww2 fags tell me about hitlers peace offering to the allied powers? Why were they turned down?
peace for the polish problem, that is

Hitler broke several treaties, and why should the Europeans have thus continued a diplomatic course that was obviously unfavorable in strategic terms for the "liberal" powers of Europe?
How do I deal with mortality?
>>426031
Kill yourself
Livestream it
>>426031
in an historical sense?
You're just a expression of a cosmic process. There's no cartoony shit waiting for you in death. Death is a process of nature, and when is nature anything solemn and austere? Your elements dissipate and if religion and are NDEs describe something true, the eternal part of you goes someplace else beautiful where you review your life and go from there
Death doesn't scare me, just when it hits me that I know I'm about to die no matter what, that's what is gonna really freak me the fuck out

Enjoy your Brave New World

The Brave New World is literally the world we are living in at present.
I hear people claim that famines in china and russia were completely out of the government's control and not the fault of the failure of communism. Is there any truth to this?
>>423487
No.
>>423487
Yes.
>>423488
The guy I was talking to said that China's famine was due to a drought in the 60s. Another guy said that the tech to circumvent this was widely available and China has no excuse for letting people starve like that.

Get rekt by 1945. Social Democrats and surviving commies set up a government similar to post war Italy.

>Social Democrats and surviving commies set up a government similar to post war Italy.
That's really unlikely given that the Italian government was set up by conservatives and the US.
Capture Gibraltar from the English. Spain and Italy block the Royal Navy from the Med.
British holdings in north africa and middle east are now even more cut off from the UK.
Spain and Italy screw things up. UK and USA invade Spain. Spain surrenders quickly. North Africa and Italy campaigns set back 6-8 months.

Seems to be mostly a problem of 3rd world nations and the US. See it positive, religion is dying in developed countries. In a couple decades it will be a mere memory.

Well god is infinitly cruel so what do you expect?
>>420745
If you actually look at what these religions teach, both of them have basically infinite options for redemption. Especially Islam has like a billion things you can do which, according to the texts, guarantees you paradise. One of which is merely wishing for your brother that which you wish for yourself.
So, for the same token as yours:
>expect to be praised for all eternity in Paradise for a good deed commited in a finite lifetime
>relatively speaking 5 seconds of being good, compared to eternity of reward
Did prima noctis or some sort of equivalent ever really exist?
Not in medieval Europe. Maybe in Russia.
I found a paper written on it. Will dig it up when get chance.

>Do you think /his/ would be better with more /sci/?
Yes desu., i'd rather have scifaggots than cunts posting religious & philosophical threads on /his/
I wish they took their religious/fedora shitposting back
I used to post a lot on /sci/ curing it's first year and a half as a board. It was great back then. But the constant flow of stuck up freshman science majors killed the board. They thought the fact that they were pursuing a hard science degree meant they were big shit so they poo-pood all speculative discussion. A board of nothing but discussion with actual scientific merit would have been something of value, but by getting rid of the anons taking part in speculative threads they killed /sci/'s post frequency. They lost the heart the the board used to have along with a lot of the people with legit knowledge in the sciences.
/his/ stands to suffer the same fate if it isn't flexible enough. I'm hopeful though. History majors seem less stuck up than physics majors.
