THE "ANTICHRIST" IS NOT SUPPOSED TO IMPERSONATE "JESUS", BUT TO CLAIM TO BE "THE MESSIAH", OR SOME KIND OF "SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD".

>>353330
Christ IS the Messiah in Christianity, Christ is just the Greek word for Messiah. That is why I'm asking.

There is no Antichrist.

Youre taking this shit from a fanfiction written in a part of the world where people needed to be told to stop fucking goats and they still do,

-Slavery ends 34 years earlier
-America likely divided into smaller dominions
-Mexican Empire still exists
-Russia has more expansion into North America
-Possible independent Native American states
for Americans though, very little, we'd have the exact same freedoms we got.

I don't see any circumstance in which they would have won.

Eventually they were going to lose the colonies even if they destroyed Washington's army and hanged him as a traitor. Someone else would have led the charge a few years later.

>>353076
Not really, If the British destroyed the continental army and the Continental congress, there woudl be no leadership for the Americans and more importantly, no one paying soldiers to fight.

Giordano Bruno (1548-1600)

Giordano Bruno was a scientist, mathematician, philosopher, ex-Dominican Monk and an astronomer who, like Galileo, did his best to show that, the earth did in fact revolve around the sun and not vice versa, as the Church had erroneously taught its flocks for centuries. Unlike Galileo, he would not recant and was thus burnt at the stake by the Church in 1600.

Giordano Bruno is often considered to be the first martyr for science and free-thought.

England simply didn't have the resources or army to permanently occupy a much larger country. Simple as that.

They fucked his shit up pretty good. Then he died of sepsis from his clothes and parts of the car infecting his wound. Ugly as shit like most of the top Nazis. None of them fit that ideal Aryan race look.

Pfft
Nobody here reads philosophy, apparently.

It was René Girard, but he died a couple of weeks ago ;_;

>>352524
You're implying morality and geopolitics are mutually exclusive

>>352524
Yes and no.

to be honest pham everyone views wars differently

for example, one could say that the crusades were done to secure western economic influence in glabal trade. And another person could say it was for pure moral obligation to retrieve the holy lans

WW2 got America out of the depression, since it freed up room in the workforce (by sending men abroad) and created a huge demand for unskilled laborers (for the war industry).
Wars like the Iraq War are beneficial in the same way, but we also have to spend trillions on them.

>>352450

>Did WW2 boost the economy?

In America, but not too many other places.

> Why are wars today not beneficial anymore?

Wars are only beneficial to the economy when aggregate demand is way lower than what aggregate supply can provide. Suddenly you have a huge amount of new needs, people mobilized, weapons produced, transport arranged, etc.

If you have slack in your supply side, you can put it to good use with the new demand.

But "excess" aggregate supply doesn't usually happen economically.

>Wars like the Iraq War are beneficial in the same way, but we also have to spend trillions on them.
Not really, they only help if your economy is in a slump.

Daily reminder that literally nothing of Siddhartha Gautama's original teachings exist outside of what the extant schools claim to have inherited and the oldest schools of Buddhism are all extinct.

It's so simple then; every Buddhist ever is wrong, right?

Does this make sense at all?

Latin is cool because it is the basis of the modern romance languages. Knowing it makes you sound smart, and can double as a way to get a grasp of the other romance languages - should you choose to learn any of them.
Ancient Greek sounds cool to me, but I cannot think of any practical uses of it anymore unless you are going to be an expert in that field. Or read very old Bibles

>>352386
I am leaning towards Greek solely for patrician points.

My uni also has courses in Sanskrit, but I have zero interest in that.

>>352260
desu Lad, I'd go for courses for modern languages, like russian, Chinese or Arab. If you're into history, or actually studying history that opens up more possibilities than just plain old greek or latin, unless you're an antiquity or middle ages person that is.

I believe that the natural state of human beings is that of hedonism and individualism until forced to change.

>>352069
I beg to differ. See, here in Europe a lot of people have started forming extremist movements, such as the growth of nationalistic parties, or even like here in Sweden, feminist parties. It is because a lot of people feel like hedonism doesn't do it anymore. That is also why I believe NEETs are often nazis and politically active - NOT because they are bitter, sad or alone - but because they just don't get any pleasure out of eating, sleeping or gaming (or whatever they enjoy doing) anymore. They need a purpose. If they cannot find a purpose in life, they will make one. Most people are driven by money, others, often those who already have enough money, will find something else to drive them. This is also why it's mainly upper-middle class girls who are feminists - the other girls don't care, because they strive to make money.

>>352069
I could agree with this.
Bonobos and Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives.
Both I would say are pretty damn hedonistic in different ways.
It makes sense that people would be similar. If there are no outside pressures for survival people would gravitate towards debauchery.

Because Ireland was the only part of the UK that the English couldn't cvck into accepting British identity.

So the English in frustration that Ireland didn't want to be part of their club made lots of memes about how they're savages.

This. Britbongs still can't live with getting shut down even after all this time.

Ireland never became a centralized political entity like Scotland did.

Brian Boru was planning to consolidate his High Kingship which would've gone in that direction, but he was killed.
