Sure, anything is possible.

Why Siam and why not the Burmese Empire?

>>394195
Burmese was under british. Siam played both British and French against each other.

The most relevant issue is that the Soviet Republics were not created, or ruled to create independent entities.

This isn't just an example of borders being shit, (though that's part of it), but also economic development being designed for inclusion in a larger economic unit.

Ukraine had factories that could produce certain arms in vast numbers, but not produce self-sufficiency.

What does a state that size do with a massive factory designed to produce heavy strategic bombers?

What does it do with extensive naval facilities designed to manage a large blue water navy?

What does it do with rail gauges specifically designed not to allow transit into Europe?

And so, even leaving ethnic identity aside, this state has two options: try to restructure it's society to fit in with the west, or to reforge links with the society it left.

Naturally, people who still benefit from the connection with the old economy, or are nostalgic for when things worked better, want to reintegrate further.

Obviously people who want something different want to restructure the Ukraine to be different.

Hence, lots of shooting.

Because Catholics almost exclusively go after converting African and South American countries

Cause protestantism was so fucking boring people soon abandoned the christian faith altogether.

>>393392
Catholics are not Christians though

It's a 2010's thing; hate just about every european historical figure on the as long as they aren't women.
Not even a /pol/tard, but you KNOW these people are just looking for things to be outraged at. They'll call Napoleon a dictator and Boudicca a heroine for torturing roman women

>The term "dictator" is a modern invention
It's fucking Roman you dolt.

>>393008
Who exactly are "these people"?

>>392915
school of life is actually good

School of life has some interesting videos on specific philosophers and philosophy
But for the most part, it's filled with euro lefty propaganda nonsense

>>392915
pretty sure god isn't a fucking normie REEEEEE

Those are just a few of the things off the top of my head, too. I've even seen claims that causality itself is an illusion.

View philosophy for what it is; professional shitposting.

>>392854
"X is an illusion" is an illusion.

Are there people here who are actually religious?

I thought we already solved this shit.

I have no idea why history and philosophy were tossed in together in the first place instead of two separate history/archaeology and philosophy/religion boards.

>>392525
They were state capitalists like the Soviet Union. There was more autonomy in the sense that big corporations were allowed to remain as seperate entities from the state but at the same time those private corporations were forced to produce and develop what the state demanded of them.

>>392579
They were not like the soviet union, rather they privatised a lot of state services.

>>392579
So basically gunpoint capitalism? I'm guessing they were also quite heavily protectionist.
I've heard they had something of a state welfare system, but I'm not sure if that's stormfag propaganda.

ftfy

Also 4chan's "religious" are only so because Atheism was discovered to be mainstream outside this hugbox, quit pretending.

Do like the rest of us and patiently wait until Euro time.

>>392171
And where were they going to produce an enlightenment state governing a proto-capitalist mass economy from?

>>392202
Copy and paste whatever the fuck the colonials were doing.

As if they couldn't see the thirteen colonies's administrative and military efficiency.

>>392208
Yeah, because you'll suddenly generate university trained patrician land owners operating export oriented estates.

>>392151
Absolutely not. Pseudoscientific bullshit with a heavy helping of DUDE WEED LMAO

The Catholic Church hit the nail on the head with their analysis:

It's a long read, so tl;dr: it's the sacralisation of psychology.

If you like the concepts of New Age read Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung. They accidentally created New Age. Basically they started teaching that all religion can be interpreted symbolically and that they actually share a ton of themes. These themes are supposed to be ancient that we have been subconsciously passing down through myths, dreams, and we are subconsciously programmed to respond to them.

Unlike the hippies that run the religion they actually approach the ideas an intelligent way. The Hippies ran with their idea to say that not only are all religiously symbolically true but they are also all literally true.

>>391952
Because noumenal experience is definitionally impossible.

>>391952
Why can't anti-materialists explain what experience and perception are?

>>391952
theories that are untestable and unprovable like the idea that all is within the mind are not worth discussing because they hold no basis

Learn about or start believing in?

Karen Armstrong's The Great Transformation is definitely an excellent start, it covers the history of almost all of the major religions of the past and present. Her other book, The History of God, is also extremely good but more focused on the Abrahamic religions.
