Depending on the quality level of the documentary they get it wrong more often than you think. I notice it more with science documentaries but I also know the correct pronunciation or a lot more science shit.
But yeah I fucking hate that shit.
The trick is to never leave the house, that way you never have to speak to anyone (and thus avoid mispronouncing anything).
What are those things on the scabbard? Shuriken?
>>1259284
Could be small knives or even a whet stone with a handle.
>>1259284
Japanese swords often did have little knives on the saya called kogai. supposedly a boy would have to learn tho throw them accurately before he was given a sword
>>1259284
They're utility knives that fit into the scabbard instead of their own sheath. The larger blade is presumably a hunting knife/messer, so would be used to finish off the wounded animal and carry out basic butchery. Then the small knives would be used for more delicate work.

Well he would know, wouldn't he?
>>1259215
You obviously don't understand how Soviet political system worked.
What Stalin basically did was that he created a whole new ruling caste which he put down under him and made it loyal only to him. For any difference in thinking you could easily lose your career and your life, hell, even if the man as paranoid as Stalin saw you as a threat you were gone. This is why you had to tread very carefully if you wanted to stay in the system. Khrushchev perfectly understood this.
Now to the system, the famous...

What is "the best" i.e. The most liberal/western orientated version of Islam?
Atheism
>>1258986
Non denominational maybe
The one that doesn't blow up people for disagreeing with them.
I don't care about Muslims being Muslim, I care about large sections of Islam being against freedom of choice. Beyond that, I don't give a shit what clothes they wear, whether they starve themselves to death all year around, etc.
>Moore's Law has an interesting and particular form of self-replication. The conviction that the "complexity of semiconductor doubles every 18 months," became more than a predictive observation but a performance target of an entire industry as it was believed extensively. Manufacturers now fight for the next generation of semiconductor technology to recreate the performance gain from the previous generation to maintain belief in Moore's law.

I remember someone on here making a post here concerning the very excessive anti-clerical/anti-religious sentiments and action in revolutionary Catalonia in the 1930s, which - even by revolutionary standards - was seen as over-the-top by commentators in its intensity as well as in its participation by people not particularly affiliated with the Republican or Anarchist movements.
Could this especially fervent hatred for established religion (i.e. the Catholic Church) have been the result of some distant echo of the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars, ingrained in...

Or it could be that 99.99% of the gommies and other revolutionaries were anticlericals.
>>1258760
This is bullshit but I choose to believe it because it's a nice narrative
>>1258786
Well, as I said in my post, the anti-clericalism seen in Catalonia was noted for being particularly violent (more so than in other regions), and - most importantly - in that the anti-clericalism was grassroots, with people unaffiliated with the Leftist movements joining in and even starting up riots and the looting of churches and monasteries.
It simply seems too coincidental that the most fervent anti-clericalism in Spain happened to show itself in the same area that had some centuries earlier borne the brunt...

Can any greekfags shed some light on a term used in Ephesians 2:2. In it Satan is called the "prince of the power of the air". What does it mean?

It's not Satan. It's a modern understanding that is Satan. If Paul meant "Satan", Paul would not have any trouble saying "Satan". It's not a guessing game.
The "curse of the world" is original sin, "spirit at work in the disobedient" is the spirit of antichrist, or that which denies Jesus, so "ruler of kingdom and air" is whatever greek or roman god the people to whom he's speaking (gentiles, in this specific case believers in Ephesus) formerly...

Every fucking thing is satan to them so they don't have to accept personal responsibility. As long as everything bad is satan, and they can say they're on the right side of things, they are never bad. Fucking trainwreck people fucking up christianity.
>>1258677
Thanks, but I'm a bit confused. The translation is:
>Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to
If "curse of the world" is original sin how does that accord to a pagan god? Wasn't their 'god' artemis/diana?
Can privilege theory be reconciled with Marxism?
If not, does Marxism gave an inherent Eurocentric bias?
>>1258473
Privilege theory IS Marxism, the question is inane
>>1259041

Yes it's called intersectionalism and has basically been universally accepted among Marxists for decades now.

Dam that is my fetish.

Or just leading my expedition on a trail of pillaging and rape.
I was born too late.
So this was the most effective way to manage a large empire right? Instead of causing cultural tensions you let each cultural group do their own thing while still being a part of a coherent empire.
