achieved it a while ago

now its reinforced every now and then at varying levels of intensity, other enlightened beings will understand

>>56723
Actually I don't understand since Enlightenment is a 0-point where there is no improvement or degrading whatsoever, just 1 standard of mindset in which everything is at peace so if there's any varying levels of intensity you're not doing it right.

>>56816
you're not doing it right

i cant just be enlightened and sit around doing nothing, change is dynamic

He thought the Soviets were going to invade him and his only hope was a preemptive strike.

Also he wanted the large recourses of western Russia to help fuel even more devlopment

>>56916
Couldn't he have waited until he dealt with the west? It seems like he misread the situation. USSR wasn't planning to invade and were caught completely unawares.

>>56619
Results of the Russo-Finnish War made Russia look weak, along with Stalin being a retard and killing all of his good generals made invading Russia look appealing.

>Was Dresden actually bombed?
yes
>just Nazi propaganda?

Yes, Dresden got bombed, but they deserved it.

Dresden is hilarious. It was something Germany deserved, and how nazi's cry about it is top keks

that being said only a few people died in it, if that

It didn't. It just transformed from an Empire into a Church.

Too many boylovers

this is half true, and i'm too lazy to explain it with so many shitposters, so yeah let's stick to it

Home field advantage is a hell of a thing before modern logistics and in unforgiving terrain.

Why did you read Humes work in reverse order?

What were your thoughts on The metaphysics?

>>56959
What actually happened was i read the first book out of the treatise then went and read the enquiry. now i'm working forward on the treatise again.

The metaphysics is just great. Aristotle starts by looking at the philosophies of his time, discarding all of them and moving forward on his own. The entire system of the metaphysics is amazing for the time of Aristotle and is well worth the read in my opinion. More than that it is also nice to have a solid conception of since it practically becomes dogma for 1800 years after Aristotle's death. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the subject matter, Aristotle himself is just an amazing thinker.

>>57170
Interesting, the metaphysics is meant to be one of the more confusing and dry of his works, how did you find it style wise?

Vae Victis

To be honest, the incendiary bombings of Tokyo were far more lethal to the Japanese spirit, but because of Imperial propaganda didn't have as much impact on the population at the time.

Also, not trying to justify 'muricans or anything, but these were designed to be specifically deployed on areas with low population density. It was more of a display of Western power to the Soviets than anything else.

This topic has been beaten to death. It's pointless to give answers because every war is a tragedy. Every violent death inflicted upon innocents is a disgrace.

>inb4 edgelords come in here and start whining

Everyone has bloodlust, everyone wants to feel like a big man by pushing the button or shooting a gun. But it's futile. We'll never find happiness except in the arms of our family and loved ones. Everything else is a waste of time and breath.

>He thinks he's being funny

It's actually quite hilarious.

Didn't he hate Marxists?

I was always under the impression he'd be disgusted to see the USSR or PRC.

>>55761
I have no problem with Marx. I only h8 SJWs and Plebbitors.

>wanted to discuss warriors I'm history
>/his/ is too busy with trap threads

Ah well

I saw one episode a few years ago where they claimed an ojibwe warrior would beat a gladiator. It looked pretty stupid desu. The natives they had in it were really angry and insecure the whole time, too.

>>56714
The show has been criticized for misrepresentation of the warriors behavior in a number of episodes, along with biased results.

Despite this, I often find it to be alright. It's never going to be 100% in what-if testing.

>>55284
many people died, it wasn't a good time to be an african.

It's still a bad time to be an african, but at least wholesale genocide isn't directly endorsed.

>>55322
>but at least wholesale genocide isn't directly endorsed.
Well, except for all the wholesale genocide African peoples do to each other, yeah.

>>55322
The reason Rwanda happened was because of Germans and Belgians demarcating who was and was not Tutsi or Hutu.

The Complete Grimoire of Pope Honorius by David Rankine and Paul Henry Barron is also an excellent read if you are into grimoires. Joseph H. Peterson's Lemegeton is another one of my favorites.

Could anyone recommend a book similar to The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall? It's an excellent read but Hall was himself a devoted Christian mystic, so I'd like a book covering the entire general history of Western esotericism but less biased.
