I understand the aesthetic appeal they have, but I don't see what there seem to be so many on this board. Are there a lot of eastern Europeans here? Or are they all just LARPers? The latter seems more likely since the Orthodox don't do much in terms of evangelizing or outreach.
Has anyone here actually become a convert of sorts? I'm curious although I doubt many in the board's demographic actually buy into religion of any sort
>>2876340
Larpers. Our most prominent Orthodox preacher/shitposter believes that hypostatic union implies that Jesus was born from leakage of sex somewhere into Mary's vagina.
>>2876340
There are more Evangelical Protefags here. I am Catholic.
>>2876349
>Evangelical
Nah that entire side of Christianity is reviled in every corner of the internet. Just as neocons are disliked in every political side of the internet. More mainline protestantism
What are your reasons for being Catholic? I'm genuinely curious
What happens when you die?
>>2876338
Depends on how you die, the common denominator is that it ends with your consciousness ceasing to be
The end
>>2876338
Reincarnation, could be as a rock, a tree, and animal, and atom, another human, a higher dimensional god or angel, or an alien on another planet. OR you can reach Nirvana during your lifetime and basically reincarnate as God/become one with the Godhead and transcend the wheel of life. The various heavens and hells (higher and lower dimensional planes) are included in this too.

Why did christianity throw medieval Europe into 1000 years of darkness?
*Western Europe
And it was Germans, not Jesus
it didn't, the germanic did
It didn't.
Was specifically Valentinian III's fault, in combination with other incompetent romans and barbaric invasions. The fact that the super power uniting europe was no more, and the fact that provinces got overrun with barbarians was catastrophic.
This was only the case with the western roman territory, the eastern roman empire preserved it's intelligence as did the muslims if they count

What would happen if a group of whites, say 2-4%, moved to a 3rd world, non-white country and assumed all managerial, directorial, and governing positions? Would this country flourish or fail? What are your thoughts?
And in case anyone says this is /pol/ material, what would Africa be like today if the social stigma of whites governing non-whites never existed and the revolts and expulsion of the whites during the 20th century never occured?
you just made it more like /pol/ material
>>2872543
It would be like Apartheid South Africa
Prosperous but segregated

I'm currently enjoying Kaiserreich, a what-if mod of Hearts of Iron IV where Germany won WWI. It's pretty fun.
>>2879832
I also like Kaiserreich. I've stopped playing it tho because the AI's insistence on puppeting every single fucking country they take annoys me
>Hearts of Iron IV
No.

Hey /his/ I made a profound quote
>"Beauty is to art what utility is to science."
What do you think?
>>2878615
>What do you think?
I THINK THAT IT IS NOT PROFOUND, AND ALSO, IT IS ERRONEOUS; THE PURPOSE OF SCIENCE IS TO STUDY, AND DESCRIBE, HOW THE KOSMOS FUNCTIONS, NOT TO UTILIZE (?).
>>2878627
Who the fuck are you?
>>2878638
You mad bro? He's just saying that utility is more of an engineering thing.
Why were anti-Chinese sentiments so prominent in the Anglosphere (particularly the US, Canada, and Australia) during the second half of the 19th century? Was it justified or irrational?
Some examples:

What was the worst war for PoWs?
>>2877513
WWII on the Eastern Front maybe, concentration camps and gulags and all.
I heard the Swedes were pretty brutal during the Northern Wars as well.
It's probably been a lot worse in other wars though and we just don't have records.
>>2877513
WW2 on the Eastern Front. Some 60-70% of Soviet POWs taken by the Germans were killed. keep in mind that the death rate of American prisoners taken by the Japanese in the Pacific was only 27%.
>>2877558
>Some 60-70% of Soviet POWs taken by the Germans were killed.
Jewish Lies.
The Allies bombed our Supply routes to feed them. They died due to diseases and other Assorted Manner.
Am I wrong to think that culture is nothing but an hindrance to society and progression?
It does nothing of value for the modern world except hold us back and waste time on useless rituals. What is the point of keeping Alice culture from dead societies?
>>2877485
Depends on what culture you're talking about, there can be progressive cultures that are always looking ahead and have very little ritual attached to it.
Some degree of ritual will always be there though, Dating, Learning, Eating, Sex, Meeting new pretty much any social interaction requires Ritual.
You sound like the kind of person that takes his culture and cultural norms for granted. Go travel a bit.
>>2877485
Define progress. Protip: you cannot make use of culture in your definition.
When did you realize that the Italian culture is the only real culture and that everyone else is a barbarian mongrel without a relevant history that has to kneel and obey to the only real civilization on earth?
>>2877129
I don't believe Britain and France's results for one second.
>>2877129
Anglos, Greeks, Italians and Jews are the only White Europeans who have actually contributed anything to the world. The rest of the so-called "Europeans" have been living in mud huts and had no real culture other then getting fucked over by the real Europeans.

> Are we all related because they've (scientists and historians) traced the whole entire human genealogy back to central Africa.
All humans share 99.9% of the same DNA. We're one of the least genetically diverse species on the planet.
we're related to plankton, not sure how much of a revelation this is
>>2876872
>not sure how much of a revelation this is
It still makes a lot of people very butthurt, though. In fact I bet we're about to hear from some of them.
Just finished this after some anon made a thread about it, pretty sick pretty sweet.
What does /his/ think about podcasts, and are there any more like this?
