Is Bonaparte an example of a proto-Frenchman?

No, not at all
>>1198668
The funny thing is, Napoleon sorta won in the end anyway. A significant quantity of monarchies met their ends to movements prompted somewhat by the influences of Napoleon's invasions on their cultures.
>Reproduction is the sole purpose of life.
Do you agree?

>life has purpose
kek
Nah. I don't think that even is a purpose of life, just a necessity to its perpetuation.

How did Fulton Sheen become so popular in a time of such anti-Catholic predjudice?
>>1197742
Because Catholics will flock to someone who can lead.
Because his words resonate with all Christians.
>>1197742
Because he taught watered down, happy, Vatican II "Catholicism".

Does human life have value?
I want to read opinions
>>1197599
No,
Yes, human life is intrinsically valuable.
>>1197599
Not intrinsically. It's just atoms, like everything else in the universe. But you can give it value if you want anon.
Can we please have a thread discussing and collecting resources on one of the most ancient civilizations in history?
All I know about Chinese history is that Chinese civil wars are literally the most horrifying thing in existence

Discuss everyday transcendence of slave morality.
I used to masturbate as little as possible because I thought it was a bad habit, immoral even. Now I do it about a dozen times a day.

I used to fritter away my money on alcohol and resent my boss for the power I felt he had over me at a financial level. I then stopped drinking and started saving money so I'd never find myself at a point where I never actually am required to work for the man, and found my resentment towards him and my job basically vanished overnight.
Would that count?
>>1197458
Saving money seems less aesthetic and life affirming, seems life denying, but Nietzsche said alcohol is bad, so that might count
>>1197458
No, because you are still cucked by your boss.
True ubermenschen are NEETs.

>"Wow Anon, you haven't even read [important non fiction book]? You must be dumb!"

>>1197171
Empire by Niall Ferguson
>>1197171
The Quran

He said non fiction.
>it says here you "love the Emperor"
>care to explain?
yeah, the Holy Roman Emperor
>>1196944
Too bad the emperor in question abolished that.
Calling things spook is a spook. Prove me wrong Stirnerfags.
Calling things spook is certainly a spook,
but understanding a spook is an entirely different category, and what Stirner in reality proposes.
>>1196904
So? Are you telling me I need to follow what Stiner wrote word for word?
>>1196915
Stirner doesn't think calling things a spook is a spook. Stirner sees a spook as an essence, calling something a spook is suggesting this essence is imaginary, which is not an essence at all.
What the fuck was his problem?
Nothing really. His mother was a Christian, he was most likely raised Christian, and it clearly had an influence on him as he got older.
He recognized that roman society wouldnt stand for religious unrest and thus attempted to stamp out a single agreed upon doctrine for the entirety of the empire.
He carried the same beliefs politically which is why he reunited the empire.

Oh damn those tolerant chill worshipers of old god's. All those christian sects who are just waiting to cut each other throats are so much more civilized

Constantine didn't persecute any pagans. His major act was stopping persecution of Christians altogether. He did this because his mom was Christian, and because Jesus was the God who responded out of the countless ones he prayed to before a key battle that would determine whether or not he'd be Caesar. He continued to be a pagan himself for the most part until his deathbed, when he converted.
Post men with facial hair.
When did Anglos start shaving their beards, and why?
>infidels
>facial hair
Pretty sure Iranians thought you weren't a man if you had no beard.
Beards couldn't fit into gas masks so soldiers had to be clean shaven in WW1
It caught on because the boys returning home were cooler than the rest.
What I'm curious about is if having a beard way back when was the same as having a beard now. When beards weren't popular it was a sign of masculinity, but now it's a clear fashion statement. Was that also the case in the past?
