Are any of you actually professionals working within the humanities fields as academics or otherwise? If so what do you do? And why do you come here?
I'm starting my PhD in Classics this fall. I come for the memes
>>1405115
I imagine that professionals come into contact with other professionals and do not see the need to discuss it with weirdos on an Siberian image-based bullitin board.
The only way I can see actual professionals here is that they enjoy sharing their knowledge but I can imagine a place like r/historians is better for that. This board must be frustrating for them.
But those are just my ideas.
>>1405257
But perhaps some professionals need to let off steam and are into shitposting?
Do you want to talk about fascist Italy?
el italiANO
No? I don't see why anyone would want to bother, unless they're bored and want to have a pop-history circlejerk about how much they sucked militarily.
mussolini was a retarded faggot
Why do you guys hate him so much?

i dont

I'm sorry, do you have any arguments to support that statement?
i disagree with his ideology
Your in the German High Command, and this guy slaps your 6th army on the ass. What do you do?
Zhukov wasn't in command during Uranus; he was up north, trying to make Mars work.
His command in that theater was in the summer, while they were in the defensive.

Nice memes /pol/ faggots have about "Kek" the "Egyptian God of Interwebz" BS. On the other hand at least they're turning their heads eyes and ears towards something important far greater and larger than life. Not all, but few.
The Gods of Egypt come from a series of "Earth Gods" which are a union that protect earth with light from the forces of Darkness. They're effective and can significantly enhance your life. They need to be respected, praised and bowed to. They're not dictators and understand the fickle state of human consciousness.

Kek is real
>>1423132
Indeed.
Although discussing theological implications of identity is definitely humanities. If you want to discuss polytheism, research "Greek enthusiasm" and "tantric meditation," the implications of this on identity are quite interesting.
Kek is just ironic shitposting based on a coincidence.

they r the illuminate!! xD time to occupy Wall Street.
In all seriousness though, they are a way for people to realise that there are people that are elites. I don't mean, "wealthy", I mean the power to buy out entire countries. Crassus and Caesar level wealth and influence. This should alarm sensible people.
A lot of conjecture about them being the shadowy masters of banking.
What's the fate of gentiles according to Judaism?

If you live a good life, you go to the afterlife. Nobody knows what the afterlife is like, because how could we? If you're not a Jew, that's fine.
If you life an evil life, you will be judged by G-d and accordingly punished. Nobody knows how this happens. This is true of evil Jews and evil gentiles.
The question is when does this afterlife begin? Probably immediately, but some scholars traditionally believed it would not be until the coming of the Messiah.
Is one Jew thread not enough for you?
Can we amalgamate our philosophical resources and contents (.pdfs, infographs) into a singular thread?
I apologize; I do not have any such contents to start the thread as I lost my laptop recently.
Appreciate some general historical resources and lists in there too
I am namely interested in the publishings of Spinoza.

What do the critiquers mean when they talk about the failure of social democracy? I think Zizek has said this and when I looked at the guardian recently it mentioned a labour (the more left wing of the two big parties and not in power) leadership candidate offering "reheated social democracy" or some other disparaging term that implied something fundamentally cannot work.
What's wrong with the idea that the UK or USA can just offer slightly more out of work benefits and also some more infrastructure spending and then society will be fine? Is this just the...

How can anyone say that democracy has failed when the only democratic country on this whole fucking planet is Switzerland?
EVeryone else is a sample of democracy. At best.
>>1422230
Their democracy is tightly controlled though, they generally don't allow leeching immigrants in plus their whites aren't cucked leftist faggots that demand free shit and high taxes
How the South was able to introduce the Jim Crom? Why did the federal government do nothing?
>>1422039
Jim Crow didn't even exist in the form of actual laws, it was a social construct.

Because blacks weren't seen as people.

>Those who clamor loudest for freedom are often the ones least likely to be happy in a free society. The frustrated, oppressed by their shortcomings, blame their failure on existing restraints. Actually their innermost desire is for an end to the “free for all.” They want to eliminate free competition and the ruthless testing to which the individual is continually subjected in a free society.
t. Eric Hoffer, "The True Believer"
How true is this statement, historically?
Fanatics and zealots absolutely never clamor for "freedom" though.

It sounds like bullshit.
If there were no roman jewish wars could Judaism have become the official Roman religion?
Also, how many jews were living in the roman empire right before the roman jewish wars and how many non jewish?
How do you think the roman empire would have been different If It became jewish and not Christian? but remember, Judiams was very different back then.
>>1422013
Nah, Judaism doesn't make an effort to convert people.
>>1422046
Elaborate. Did he invite jews to tell him about judaism?
