I believe you are both.
When concerning the acts of corruption by the Western Catholic church people will typically use the phrase "The Church" to demean organized Christianity as a whole. I've been increasingly more interested in Orthodoxy and I was hoping I could find some knowledge of how the church known by many westerners compares to the Orthodox. For instance, was the prohibition on publicly owned Bibles up unto the Protestant revolution unique to the Catholics?
Yes. Orthodox not only permitted you to own the Bible, it was always actively translated.
>>1206885
Find your nearest Orthodox Church on Google maps and talk to the priest.

Interesting. Also, is there anything comparable to the Inquisition in the history of the Eastern church?

The Cape has a more Mediterranean than tropical environment where the tropical crops used by the Bantu wouldn't grow, which is why they never colonized the area and why it was the only part of Africa where Europeans permanently settled in large numbers.
Is this a meme weapon?
As some wise man said, arrows are for cowards.
first we must dissect what really is a meme
I like collecting photos of street scenes throughout history so if anyone has any good photos to contribute along with mine that'd be nice
Was Burke right, about revolution that fought for abstractions like rights and that try to hunt tradition always end up with Tyranies and bloodbaths?
Obviously not but that won't stop edgelords on the internet from unironically defending long-extinct feudal aristocracies.
Revolution is for political changes, evolution is for social changes.
This is why the burgers republic lasted so much longer than the frogs.
>>1206491
>Obviously not
It hasn't been the case in the past century. Revolutions based on abstractions,always ended up alienating a huge chunk of the population,and causing bloodbaths,and deriving in some sort of Tyranny after the revolution happened. Change can be gradual btw,this way it creats a tradition,which had a more stable foundation.

When I think that the world is going to shit, is that just how everyone feels in all time periods, 100 years ago, did they think the world was going to shit, and a century or generation before that? Is this time any different then those other times where it turned out that the world did not actually go to shit?
Like for instance, I don't like globalization, but is it even worth fighting against it? What is the point because history shows that progress will happen.. is it inevitable?
>>1206130
Directly fighting it and denying it will happen is futile, but you can try and shape it to something more to your liking.

Hey
Wasn't there a contingent of Russian soldiers on the Western Front that had to vote on whether or not to keep fighting after Russia itself had already collapsed?
Can anyone tell me that story?

Why is Hannibal Barca held in such higher regard than pic related?
Dispite his decisive victorys he failed to devise a conquering stratagem.
Who do you think is the greater general /his/? Discuss.
Hannibal was a better tactician, a better commander. Scipio was the better strategist, the better general. Hannibal wins battles, Scipio wins wars.
>>1205971
As to why Scipio isn't as famous as Hannibal, I can think of two reasons.
1) Everybody loves the tragic brilliant general. For all of Hannibal's victories, he lost in the end
2) The Romans perhaps purposefully overblew just how brilliant the guy was, to make having defeated him glorify Rome all the more
>>1205971
If Scipio had faced Hannibal in Italy human history would have been written very differently. Scipio was just a roman cuck too afraid to face him. Hannibal did the unthinkable
Is philosophy dead?
