Are Protestants called Protestants because they protested the Catholic Church???
>>1164470
no. if that were true they would be called the protesters, not protestants retard
>>1164470
Yeah, Rome likes to make everything about her, as most whores do.
>>1164470
No. contrary to the popular belief, Protestant are not at any way different to the Catholic teachings, rather they're a denomination which formed after Luther expressed contempt at the state of Catholic monasteries in Germany. They found they were swarming with Hymenoptera, thus naming their brand of religion
>Protest
>ants
Luther knew that in order to stop an influx of further heresies, such as dreadful Paraponera clavata, he had to act fast.

Explain this /his/.
>>1163508
It is just a name.
No Asian or African involvement.
>>1163508
The real answer is: the term World War was created by narratives that favored nation-states.
As the Seven Years War was fought by non-nation states, it didn't count.
That's what I read at least.
>>1163533
Indians & Flips were involved.
And before you say: "But their colonizers made them" note that India wasn't yet colonized though Allied Princes fought in behalf of European partners in India while in the Philippines,...

Why did the English/British oppress the Irish?
>>1163317
Because the CoE is still triggered by the Pope and the Irish are Catholic, so it's the only way to direct there anger.
>>1163332
Did they try and convert them? They could have forced Catholics to pay more in taxes until they eventually converted like Muslims did with Christians.
>>1163317
Because they aren't people and will never be
Why didn't medieval generals order all of their men to put poop on their blades and arrows? The infection rate would be so much higher.

They didn't know about germ theory or basic hygiene for that matter.
Well for one thing they had no concept of germs.
>>1163179
Not OP but don't you think in the millenia-long history of warfare, someone somewhere must've thought "hey, let's put shit on our arrowheads and see what happens"?
I like stories like Indiana Jones or JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (pic related) and more where the Nazis use magic or the supernatural to their advantage. But what I want to know is if this has any form of truth to it. Did anyone in Germany ever try experimenting with magic or was this all a myth? If so, where do you think it came from?
It was mostly just LARPing faggots like Himmler that gave the Nazis an "occult" image. It gave them some pretty cool imagery/iconography but that's about it.
>>1162911
It's Himmler's bullshit. Even Hitler made fun of him for it.
>>1162911
What the other posters said, Himmler had a boner for occult stuff and was into pseudo-archaeology that backed up his beliefs. There's no evidence for Hitler or any other high-ranking Nazis being interested.
Xenophon: Being good is good but being bad is not good, it is bad.
Socrates: Xenophon, is it not the truth that a stone can be used for a good cause and also in addition for, by Zeus, for a bad cause.
Xenophon: Yes, magnificent Socrates, that is indeed the truth.
Socrates: Then is not true that the stone can not automatically be categorised as intrinsically bad if it is not intrinsically good?
Xenophon: By Neptune's beard, Socrates! You are the biggest genius the world has ever known!

Diogenes is the best philosopher desu. He totally BTFO Socrates (or was Aristoteles, I don't remember) all the time.

Socrates has some of the most twisted logic ever.

Do you think Hitler could have won if he let his Generals make all the decisions post 1940?
Here's what Hitler fucked up (in no particular order):
-Decided to change targets from British airfields to Cities during the battle of britain just because some cucking bomber dropped a bomb on Berlin
-decided to go into the Balkans when there was no real reason to
-decided not to support Rommel as much as he could have because it would have taken away from the Soviet Invasion force
-decided to invade Russia 1) in the winter and 2) while Britain...

Hitlers command structure is inherently fucked just by the fact that the SS exists and it can overrule Army commands.
How and why a bunch of German elites with Vons in the middle of their names got memed into obeying a fucking Clerk and his Austrian Peasant boss is beyond me.
>>1162650
So yeah, do you think if Hitler and his retardedness wasn't there could Germany have won the war?
I think if they had focused on taking out Britain, and then had supported Rommel they could have launched a two-pronged invasion into Russia

Hey,
can someone please help me interpret pic related. I looked up some tutorials how to understand box-and-whisker-plots but I'm just not getting behind it.
I'd really appreciate it if someone with an understanding of linguistics could help me out here.
I can also provide provide further information if that would be helpful.
It is from Ryuichi Hotta's paper on "s-Pluralisation in Early Middle English and word-frequency".
>>1161816
I'm going to attempt to explain box plots and be of no particular help since I'm just working off my own notes and might be wrong.
The center line is the median value and divides 50% of the values from the other 50% of the values.
The box encompasses 25% of the values on either side of the line and is the interquartile area.
The pinched area is a 95% confidence interval for the median.
Whiskers vary I guess. Generally they're 1.5* the interquartile area and end at the last value in that range.
Circles...

Thanks very much for sharing your notes.
Maybe I'm trying to interpret it based on that and you can tell me if this makes sense according to the mechanics of a box-plot.
So the paper is about how plural markers in Early Middle English developed from things like -um, -es, -as and such to the today known -s. Hotta wanted to research which kind of nouns were effected from that change first, high-frequency or low-frequency nouns.
Earlier in the paper he stated pic related.
So when now looking at...

AP History student get out

Help me I need this.

No you need to get off 4chan and do your essay
Yes.
There's also a handy compilation of writings by Marx, Engels and Lenin shitting on anarchism (including the Stirner variety): http://bookzz.org/book/2379950/e6843d
>>1161223
to be fair its not too hard to shit on anarchism, watch me do it now
how the fuck are you supposed to maintain anarchism while imperialist powers still exsist you ninny
>>1161171
If you agree with Marx, yes.
If you don't, he comes off as a whiny child
When and where was it the worst place to live? I know the most straightforward answer would be in a warzone or any time period where slaves were kept, but I'm curious about where the average bloke had it the worst.
My vote goes to the first agricultural settlements

>Very poor nutrition due to most food being starchy crops

Central Asia / Eastern Europe circa 1200's.

On top of this I'd also argue that anywhere in Italy during the Bubonic Plague, as well as being a Native American (maybe Aztecs) during the Great Dying caused by smallpox and Spanish subjugation
