It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud

So you have tons of these guys today believing all these insane conspiracy theories. You also have shitloads of morosophic websites that claim to have figured out reality.
It's almost like being mad nowadays always brings with it a radical belief in some sort of conspiracy. You can't find a mental case without him or her believing a grand plot is what they have figured out that explains their weird shit.
But what I'm wondering is the following: these nutjobs, what were they adhering before modernity?

Not him, but I have heard the Northerners tried to dig a tunnel beneath Southern lines and then go up attack them in the rear or something. As it turned out they lacked long enough ladders to get up though, so it was like shooting fish in a barrel for the Southerners.
Do you know any god-tier polyglot bloggers with massive and vast knowledge base in different fields like history, literature, art, music, philosophy, occultism, architecture and mythology?

sorry for being retarded, but how is Rawls and Habermas considered "liberals"?
What does "liberal" mean in English? Is it related in any way to Adam Smith's Classical Liberalism?
I ask this because I'm reading pic related and he uses the word "liberal" to define Habermas and the likes of Hayek at the same time and this is really confusing me.
btw: "This board is dedicated to the discussion of history and the other humanities such as philosophy, religion, law, [...]"
>>1221387
hayek is liberal

Liberal in American English: People I don't like/leftypol
Liberal in British English: A broad group containing everything from modern day central leftist and pretty much everything right wing.
>>1221416
Is Habermas and Rawls Liberals in the American sense only? Thats what is seems to me.
On the other hand, Hayek is - of course - a diehard classical liberal and thats clear.
Whats confusing me is that the author talks about liberal-democracies and he doesn't define what he perceives as liberal before doing so
I just finished four years of Latin and plan on buying a book from a Latin author from the Loeb Classical Library to celebrate.
What does /his/ recommend I get?
http://www.hup.harvard.edu/collection.php?cpk=1031
To save you time from looking at the list, the Loeb library has pretty much every book in Latin from antiquity.

Where stampeded animals ever used as weapons in warfare?
Nah, Hannibal brought those elephants for the lols.
>>1220922
yes but normally as a improvisation rather than a plan, animals handy to the battlefield being used, not the animals being brought along to a battle or a battlefield being selected specifically for the use of animals
>>1220922
I could have sworn that the Kievan Rus once used a deliberate cattle stampede to break a siege, but I'll be damned if I can find a source.
How do we kill nihilism in the west once and for all?
>>1220831
Nihilism isn't the problem. The problem comes from hedonism, caused by consumerism and global degeneracy.
By destroying the root cause of it: Christianity and the belief that life has a pre-ordained divine purpose
Nihilism is nothing more than the "withdrawal symptoms" of a society that was introduced to Christianity and then has it slowly tapered off
Define 'nihilism'

Do nuclear weapons keep the peace?
Do major countries having access to nuclear weapons keep them from fighting each other directly? The Soviet Union (and by extension Russia in modern days) and the United States never fought each other directly, is this because of nuclear weapons.
Yes, they fought many proxy-wars and are still fighting them today. But my question is, would more lives have been lost during the Cold War if nuclear weapons didn't exist? Would early NATO against the Soviet Union in direct conflict have saved more lives, or did nuclear weapons...

It's basically just a Mexican standoff. Personally I don't think more countries should be allowed to create and have access to nuclear weapons because that makes the others more likely to pull the trigger.
>>1220693
Yes it is just a Mexican stand-off, but now NATO and Russia are currently forced to actually meet with each other to discuss problems.
But maybe that is what is needed, especially since Europe likes to fight devastating wars at the drop of a hat. Now they are forced to agree on things.
I feel that a really horrific war would have occurred if both the Soviet Union and The United States didn't both have nuclear weapons.
India and Pakistan have little skirmishes, but nothing really bad happens...

One of the great disappointments of my adolescence was finding out just how full of shit Jim Garrison was.
I accidentally posted before I was finished writing. What did his motto mean? He had undertaken what?
