What does /his/ make of this guy? I can't decide whether he's one of those one-in-a-million geniuses that normal people simply cannot comprehend, or if he's just a raving lunatic that somehow managed to get a PhD
he's really funny and entertaining whether he's right or wrong
It's time to stop posting, Zizek.

Communist. So trash.
let's assume the americans develop the a-bomb before the war in Europe ends
would they drop it over Berlin?
If anything countries like Britain and Japan might come together and lynch America if they had such a weapon.

The Manhattan project was expressly aimed at Germany.
It might not have been Berlin itself, but certainly some German city.
The planned using IT on Mannheim/Ludwigshafen befasse easyJet to am (Neckar flows into Rhine ) alot importent industry and a shit ton of people
Does Satanism hold any merit or is it just a religion for edgelords?
It's mostly just for the edge lords.
They have a "le believe in yourself" shonen animu moral lesson. The Satan thing is just for marketing.
Actual Satanist here.
Obviously as a rational, atheistic religion with a focus on empowering individuals to live fulfilling lives, it has far more merit than any theistic religion.
Godfags use 'edgelord' as an insult, but what they are really saying when they use the term is that 'these people make fun of me so I don't like them."
The truth is that godfags are the biggest edgelords that have ever existed. Godfags literally claim that you are inherently evil and will suffer eternal torment unless you live by their life-denying rules....

Why do priests often been portrayed as pervert, evil and corrupt guys in literature, movies and games ?
Realism
Protestants and Gothic horror
The Catholic Church is literally the closest thing we have to a comic-book tier international evil order bent on world domination.
Why was Japan so willing to industrialize while many other non-western countries were not? Not only did China refuse, but pretty much every other regional powers expelled westerners out.
>>1265662
Because they were being helped along.
>>1265662
Kuso sure sageru

Japan feard western countries because China was defeated in The Opium War
Seriously, you look at these pics of ancient warriors and it makes you wonder how people managed to fight with hair like this.
It gets sweaty, hangs in your face and eyes at the worst moments, the foe can grap it and if you sleep in bad conditions with your squad it surely has a hygenic drawback too.
>>1265532
because they didn't... it was most likely dreadlocked/ braided or very short cut...
Your just gay
>>1265532
Long hair > short hair.
Short hair is for degenerates while long hair is for superior men. If you cut your hair you are doing what the army wanted you to do prior to WWI. Long hair is a much more ancient ideology then some shitty swag fuckbois fresh trim.

Who would win in a street fight?
>>1265442
As much as I hate to say it, probably Patton. He actually did have dedicated hand to hand combat training as part of his stint in the cavalry, and as far as I know, none of the others did, although I could easily be wrong.
>another player has entered the game
This guy, he has a mouth full of metal teeth, after being torutered by the NKVD and was a key figure in the Russians winning Stalingrad. Plus he just looks like a bear, man.
>>1265442
Rommel managed to stay high fit throughout his life, depends which year you're taking him from.
I know this isn't the standard thread in /his/, but I recently started studying philosophy and have the opportunity to study a language on the side. Which would be useful for philosophy? I hear German is neat because you can read many western philosophers in their native tongue, but I also have thought chinese would be cool to be able to read all the ancient chinese things (i.e. Art of War) untranslated. What does /his/ think?
Greek and German are only languages you need to read philosophy, fuck everyone else
Chinese is overly complicated, plus German isn't that hard if you already know English. You might want to take a look at French and Italian too.
Could also learn Latin since it's easy and there's some cool stuff in it but it's, well, a dead tongue.
>>1265448
Is there an argument against Chinese other than it's hard? Learning languages is pretty easy for me.
Why were the Italians such massive fuckups during WW2? Any good books on the subject?

Mussolini

Because their government was a colossal clusterfuck owing to the relative fascist weakness and needing to bring in influential people from other powerbases to prevent a loss of confidence and them being thrown out of government (which happened anyway in 1943)
A good book (although it deals with quite a few other things) is the Path to Victory, by Douglas Porch.
Is there a western medieval equivalent to Miyamoto Musashi?
Namely, someone who was so uniquely skilled in martial combat that he became a near-legendary figure, maybe even penning philosophical or literary works, memoirs, anything. Someone who stands above all others as a machine bred for the death of other men, but did not devolve into lechery, alcoholism, instead retaining an untarnishable sense of honor.
Or, honestly, anyone with Mushashi's record of 60 wins in 1v1 deathmatch
>that kdr
He's not very well known but I guess a comparable example would be Conn of the Hundred Battles
>>1265287
Caeser fits all those qualities except for the martial combat. And in that regard, I can't really think of anyone, only generals come to mind. Maybe Scanderbeg?
If you believe it, Cassius scaeva. Not a warrior poet though
who is this man?
Look at the top of his head. Hahahahahah

The biggest argument against monarchy being a good idea in existence.

Was getting caught part of your plan?
>>1264780
Is that Puyi?
He should've fled to Africa, if he got eye surgery he would basically be a black man
>>1264785
Aye, after the Soviets caught him, already had his plane to Japan ready to leave
Any evidence of Hannibal's skin color? In this painting from 1510 he is portrayed as black, and in a lot of busts and sculptures he has negroid features aswell.
Looks tan to me.
Who cares?
>>1264765
Me.
If he were black, it would conflict with my fascist mindset.
