I thought his extravagant spending was part of the reason the French Revolution was started?

>>289539
No, it was the July Revolution of 1848.

Greatest king.

Militarily, he made France the most feared power in Europe, bringing Spain, England and the Netherlands to their knees.

This was helped by hiring amazing military talent - Condé, Vauban, Turenne, Tallard, Louvois, etc.. Nigga revolutionized siege tactics and created the first national uniform.

Culturally, his rule allowed Molière, Racine, Corneille, La Fontaine, Descartes and Pascal to flourish.

Economically, he hired Colbert, who was considered one of the brightest economists of his time.

Fashion-wise, nigga's an icon.

>not a single one argument has been made in favor of exploiting animals
Wrong. Jesus Christ, aka, GOD, made men and created animals for men.

>not a single one argument has been made in favor of exploiting animals
Because it's pretty self evident. Having a beast of burden to pull shit around is damn useful, as is having a bunch of birds that give you food every day from eating worms and shit, or a cow that gives you liquid food every day that also pulls shit around and will feed you for a month when it dies. In modern times it gets more questionable, but taste and profit justify it inna practical, if not a moral context.

I wanna slap that faggot so hard

I don't know how far political correctness can go to change the fucking calendar.

In french it is "Avant Jésus-Christ" and "Après Jésus-Christ" and no one gives a damn, not even muslims or jews.

>Did Hitler really pursue homosexuals or is it just jewish lies?

ZIONIST/JEWISH SLANDER.

>I can understand him wanting to repress effeminant gays, but would he really kill a manly aryan man just because he's not attracted to vaginas?
>effeminant

THAT IS NOT EVEN A WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE; YOU MOST PROBABLY MEANT "EFFEMINATE", BUT EVEN THUS THE TERM "EFFEMINATE GAYS" IS UNNECESSARILY SPECIFIC.

>He looked like the kind of guy who would defend a "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

THE GERMAN NATIONAL SOCIALIST STATE DID NOT PUNISH, NOR ENFORCE, ANY STANDARDS OF SEXUALITY, BUT DID NOT TOLERATE, NOR CONDONE, SEXUAL DEVIANCY EITHER.

>>289347
Yeah, he want after gays, the disabled, gypsies, Slavs, and especially Jews. This is undisputed fact.

>>289347
There's absolutely nothing to indicate that he was a fag.

>Or is Eurocentric the right thing to be and other cultures simply don't matter as much to human progress as Europeans do?

For the past 400 years or so, yes. It'll probably stay that way for another hundred.

>>289244
Don't try to be the "not eurocentric" insufferable faggot.

Just don't be ignorant about non-European countries.

>>289259
This

Just shut the fuck about it and be well rounded

>>289242
You can't say No Nukes because the USA had nukes and probably would have used one to put the USSR in her place. That's effectively what the nukes on Japan did anyway. Except if they were used on the USSR she may have retaliated once she developed them, as a revenge act, leading to MAD.

Soviets had more manpower, vehicles, etc. in the region than all the other allied armies combined. They would have steamrolled the continent only stopping at the Alps and Pyrenees respectively.

Map in image is a gag on Civilization V, where starting location is important for the whole course of the game.

The problem with this book isn't that it's wrong but that people try to use it explain away all of human history.

All it really does is show the advantages Eurasia had over the Americas/Australia, and to a lesser extent Africa. That's extremely important, and it does a good job of explaining that.

It does not explain why Europe came to dominate instead of other parts of Eurasia, nor does it explain why some parts of the world developed civilizations while others didn't). That would require reading other books.

Stormfags of course just dumb the whole thing down to something about zebras, while SJWs either love it (because it's anti-racist) or hate it (because they think it's used to justify imperialism), always for the wrong reasons.

There isn't going to be any serious discussion in this thread, it's just going to be shitposting and memes.

How is it even relevant to the Middle East current situation? You can't apply his theory after 1500s when the whole world was connected by trade routes.

Archimedes was on the same level as Newton in mathematics.

>scientific advancement

How is this measured?

>preserved by catholics and byzantines instead of muslims

I don't really have a strong argument against it, but I still having a nagging feeling that free will doesn't really exist.
I think that people, for the most part, are simply predictable input->output machines with a randomization component thrown in at the end. I don't really think the randomization component qualifies as free will.

There is no free will. Schopenhauer settled this shit ages ago, Spinoza even earlier actually. There is no refutation to their arguments.

Fuck off with the Sartrean make-believe please.

>>288954
You mean freedom as in liberty and positive and negative freedom or what goes on inside the skull?

i would stop thinking in epochs altogether

Also, shouldn't Prehistory say 3 million / 3000 AC in fact say 3 million / 3000 BC?

Because they are all sexually repressive, which just makes them more horny. A woman looks a lot more attractive with her hair flowing, i think it's a sign of healthiness and youth in a way, so covering it makes them look less attractive so the Pastor wont get a boner.

>>288635
Strangely enough, some of them conversely, or even simultaneously in more fundamentalist veins, demand that her hair never be cut.

>>288651
Examples? Never heard of that but it sounds interesting.
