ITT: Battles where the good guys lost.
This is probably the worst board on this site.
Unironically worse than /s4s/.
Want to talk about good guys and bad guys?

Get over it edgelord. If you think this board is one of the worst, then I don't know how you could tolerate the autism that goes on most of the other boards.

Ok
>I don't know how you could tolerate the autism that goes on
I don't. This is a website for people with mental illness.
Memes aside, do Jews really control the world? And if so does is that enough proof that they're still God's chosen people?
>>1332921
No. Everyone controls an aspect of something. Just because there are Jews in the banks doesn't mean that they control the economy.
Also
>God
Nice Spook ya nerd
>>1332921
There are a lot of Jews who control very high positions in media and other parts of society.
>>1332921
The Zionist Conspiracy theory is not much more than a progression of the age-old distrust of Jews after the 1st-century. As they were sparse and nomadic for centuries in Europe, that distrust was mostly centered on themes of invasion vs. nativism. Now however, as Jews have become more prominent in worldwide sources of great economic and social power (banks, media, etc.) since the Industrial Revolution and the development of global economies, the anti-sematic narrative has shifted to a conspiratorial, anti-establishment one.
Gonna be away on business for about a week. Give me some /his/torical WW2 films/shows to watch on the flights. Already got Kelly's Heroes and WW2 in Colour.

Braveheart starring Mel Gibson
band of brothers and the pacific, ww2 in colour is great btw
>>1332852
Yeah WW2 in Colour is fantastic so far. Already seen both series as well. People harp on the Pacific a lot but I enjoyed it.
What does Justice mean to you, /his/?
>>1332550
What a pointless question.
What matters is what Justice is, not what others think that Justice may be.
Justice is not relative.
Justice must always question itself, just as society can exist only by means of the work it does on itself and on its institutions.
>>1332550
Justice is to do to others what is owed to them.
What were the emotions you felt when you put all the historical facts together and realized that George Washington was LITERALLY AND DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the American Revolution?
>>1332371
A thread died for you to post this garbage. I hope you're proud of yourself.
None because Washington was an opportunist who rolled the die and joined the revolution in order to gain greater prestige and power in the colonies.
It's been a long time since the ADL has called the Orthodox Church to follow the suit of their brothers, the Protestants and Catholics. But Orthodox still refuse to comply, is there any excuse for this?
>ADL Urges Orthodox Christian Churches To Excise Anti-Semitism From Liturgy
>New York, NY, June 6, 2007The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is urging the world's Orthodox Christian leaders to support a Christian proposal to excise ancient anti-Semitic passages from their liturgy.

Well, there's hating the Jews simply for ethnic and purely religious reasons, which of course is bad.
Then there's acknowledging that Christianity implicitly claims to be Judaism's direct replacement, and that as a result Judaism is a defunct religion. That's completely different.
>>1332376
Fulfillment.
What the hell does the ADL which is based in the U.S. and basically just calls everything racist have to do with the Orthodox Church? It's not like a Global organization like the Church would actually listen to this American shill group.
What is the Christian stance on the idea of reincarnation not as systemic thing that everyone experiences, but as something that God grants to specific individuals, especially int he context of predestination or people who have an "evil destiny"?
Instead of introducing an innocent soul into the world that is destined to be damned is it possible that when God's plan necessitates evil taking place that a soul that has already been damned would be reincarnated to serve that evil purpose?
If Hitler's destiny was predetermined for example, is it...

(Matt 17:12-13)
read your own fucking book you cuck
>>1332334
Elijah and John have their own souls. Jesus was simply pointing out the similarities in their roles; reformers who preached repentance.
When does someone get the title of 'philosopher'?
This guy didn't wanna be called one, but Sam Harris is apparently a philosopher according to wikipedia.
>>1332242
A combination of relevant degrees and third party perspective. You studied philosophy, engage and assert some original thought, and peers agree that you are a philosopher.
>>1332322
can't even an undergrad assert some original thought?
>>1332242
You become established in your field and then publish new/radical/revolutionary ideas that people actually take seriously.
The key element is actually being intelligent and adhering to logical principals otherwise any crackpot could be considered a "philosopher".
I have no money to buy them all, and I need them to college.
What's the best site to find them?
>>1332074
Google.
>>1332094
This guy isn't even joking by the way, OP.
Just search for the title of the book you want followed by "PDF" on Google and you'll find it 90% of the time.

What caused the hippie movement and counterculture to start right after the assassination of JFK? Up to the start of 1964 early 60s society was the same as it was in the 50s

inb4 someone posts the discredited meme of Irish people being descended from Iberians
Darker Irish are descendants of the original population that came from Middle east/Iberia the others are later Germanic's.
>>1331388
The only one in that picture that looks middle eastern is the third guy on the bottom right. The rest just look tan or more Iberian.
What did they do with bodies of dead soldiers during WW2? In prolonged urban battles such Stalingrad for example did they just let the corpses lie there or what?
>>1331369
>Stalingrad
They ate it.
>>1331369
They left them there and depending on the occupying force they burned them
>>1331369
Dead soldiers were usually retrieved if possible, even urban battles didn't consisted of 24/7 non-stop fighting after all
Is life better experienced alone or with others?
Alone from birth, alone in death.
Seeing as I'm the only person who really exists and you're all illusions created by my dying mind to occupy the milliseconds before it shuts down forever, leaving no trace of human existence left to the vast, uncaring universe, I'd say alone, really.
Does it really matter?
Nobody here has a choice in the matter
