I don't think cockroaches have free will, I still take anti-pest measures. Even if people have no free will, you should still take-anti crime measures.

If there is no free will, then the people performing unjust punishment in the name of justice are ALSO blameless and have no agency to change their actions.

Just because you can't be blamed for your actions doesn't mean the actions you did are acceptable. Jailing is a purely practical concept to remove personality traits that negatively impact society.

Why not link to Stormfront while you're at it?

By the way your picture is of a Nubian, it's hardly the same as this WE WUZ bullshit.

>>285427
It's a meme website.

>>285455
this tbph.

For all the shitposting /his/ and /pol/ does about the WE WUZ idiots, people forget that the Nubians did actually conquer Egypt for a while.

You're right, I can't..because the image is the size of a postage stamp and I can't make out anything other than Jesus giving me the peace sign and asking me to sign his yearbook.

Ayy so irrelevant.

>Implying they aren't partially responsible for what's been done to them
>Implying Jews didn't basically control the triangle trade
It's 2015, we should start acknowledging Jews as moral agents.

>>285326
>we should start acknowledging that there is some eternal Jew, the misdeeds of which all Jews are responsible for

uhh

what about no

Do you come from a wealthy family that can support you for the rest of your life?

Dont worry, i dropped out of E.E. to economics so you're not the dumbest person.

You should probably major in something else and continue to take classes unless you very confident you can get a job. The most likely job is to get a class teaching philosophy which itself is highly unlikely given how few philosopher teachers are needed. If you can get into a prestigious school or setting than you can start publishing papers in scholarly philosophical journals. The ultimate end is to produce your own books which go onto shape the field but that's very rare.

There is no reason why you can't learn philosophy and get a degree that more likely to earn you a living. You can even publish philosophical work without a degree provided the work is actually good. Many big name philosophers had no diploma, Kierkegaard being one of them. The point of the classes is to provide an accelerated approach to learning and to provide you with professor that can mentor you, the degree itself is meaningless.

The general trend suggesting like so many other indicators it all comes down to economic development with the cream of cultural factors that influence it to a degree.

In this case the main importante is level of urbanization, as urban life shifts values towards individualism while rural life towards collective one.

>>285134
Well western Europe between 0-1000 AD was quite rural yet they seem individualistic don't they? Everything from Ancient Germanics to Carolingian freemen

Of course it's cultural.

You materialistic shitbags should read some Dostievsky.

>Is racism simply the normal human condition?

No.

>Don't all normal people have at least some small preference when it comes to ethnic groups?

Yes, but that's not racism. Racism clearly means holding people of other ethnicities to a different standard than your own ethnic group, or being directly hostile against other ethnic groups.

Babies are born 'racist'. The reason 'racism' exists is for the same reason that we care about our family: because we recognize more of ourself (or genes) in them than others.

To have no concept of race loyalty is unnatural, one needs to be indoctrinated to have this evolutionary wisdom supressed.

This is complete pseudoscience horseshit.

Imperator.

It's not really a title per se, but "Praetorian" sounds pretty fucking sick.

Archon, something sounds very weird and alien about it

I love Will Durant's style and even though a lot of the material is dated it's still just such a fun read. Just going back and rereading the first book, how he lays out what civilization is and how we got there just enthralls me all over again.

>Eurocentrism

I read Caesar and Christ, it did a great job of telling the material in a more narrative driven form, which made it easier for me to read when I was young. It's a good introduction into history for people who want to read more ancient history, yet are put off by the dryness of historical works at times.

The global market doesn't allow for a democratic communist nation to exist.

All attempts at communism so far have never tried to evolve into the end game:

Socialism.

So no, never. Don't know who came closest. China, I guess, but now they are backpaddling and going capitalist all the same so not even they.

>>284734
Yeah, industrialization and capitalism to the point of lazy people who like being offended seems like the easiest way to socialism

>>284742

I know you're joking, but if you think european style socio-liberalism is socialism then you're wrong.

No they're not.

You can believe in religion and have a populace that believes in many religions while still basing law on secularism.

Freedom of religion is also not without exception just like freedom of speech.

You cannot preform illegal activity in the name of your religion. Nor can you impose laws that have no logical basis but religious doctrine. Especially not when not everybody adheres to that religious doctrine.

Viewing the world in such black and white is actual, factual autism.

Freedom doesn't exist, not in the liberkek way at least.

There is no 100% xyz and 100% abc.

The laws are malleable enough for those two to work.
