I have two questions /his/.
1. Would the Pan-Arabist movement have survived the 20th century if the Arabic coalition won the Yom Kippur war?
2. Would it have been able to stop the rise of Islamism as the dominant ideology in the Middle East if it did survive?

Elaborate.
No.
No.
Islam stopped being united even before the Qur'an was written down, and Al-Wahhab invented the idea of acknowledging the insufficiently orthodox Muslims as infidels punishable by death.
There is no Ummah, only war.
Would USA still get involved into WW2 if Japanese didn't attack Pearl Harbor but still went on to invade South East Asia colonies of other Western Powers?
>>990948
USA already was involved in WW2 to some extent before Pearl Harbour, they were helping to supply the Allies in Africa
>>990955
Supplying allied troops and putting your own troops on the line are two different things though.
>>990948
seriously, why did japan attack?
who would think attacking a nation several times your size, population, and that has access to a personal supply of war making materials with a history of stepping on smaller nations and the whole "mastering the Americas" thing?
Was Hayek a spook?
no he was a real person but he was a fucking retard

like all good bootlickers and boss' man, he hated watching prolos win the class struggle in any degree.
His theory is also based on priori pseudoscience ( the best thing I've heard from praxer is how if you try to prove them wrong, you're proving them right because you "intend" to prove them wrong) and value theory posited exclusively from the standpoint of exchange.
>>990753
Worse, an Austrian.
>>990831
This.
Can you "prove" philosophical positions or statements? For example, if I'm a mathematical platonist, is there a chance I'm "wrong"? Are there any philosophical positions that are obsolete and "proven wrong"?
Has disputation ever ended? Have any philosophical questions been answered to the satisfaction of everyone? Have any theses proven immune to criticism?
>>990507
Of course not. What I'm asking is is it even theoretically possible to prove a philosophical position beyond a reasonable doubt? Like, it's something I'm actually interested in. Is everything really relative?
I'd say that it's impossible to be wrong about something that you can logically prove, unless it can also be demonstrated to be false.
Mathematical platonists are right, unless you can find some way to prove that numbers can't not-exist.
Anyone know from what movie/tv series is this video taken?

Original Kaiser Wilhelm was the best. Never liked the one without dem Bart.

Fuck off stormfag, this isn't even that period.

The Germans were missing good, old better times in 1914? Imagine if they could see Germany today, compared to then.

According to CK2 the Varangians were fags who spent all of their free time smashing greek boipussci
How accurate is this?
>>989709
the greeks were fags so I suppose it wouldn't be too uncommon for some of those burly Vikings to be enticed into their faggotry as well.

>smashing greek boipussci

Is that vanilla?
that event almost seems like some memey shit from VIET or something.
What is the best Italian State and why is it Modena-Ferrara?
>>989551
>What is the best Italian State and why is it the Serene Republic of Venice?
Ftfy
>>989551
Fuck me I played so much >EU IV I could tell you which microstate is which without seeing the names on the map.
>>989551
The best state in Italy will always be Venice, I only wish they had killed more Byzantines.
How come religion was a driving force for artistry and human expression for most of history, propelling artists to make great works, but these days seem to absolutely wreck everything it touches?
Is it an american phenomena, with christianity deeply tied to deeply un-expressive, repressed demographics? Is it a greater focus on conversion and exploitation rather than individuals expressing their faith? Even in recent history you could compare works like Passion of The Christ to Ben-Hur. Or (probably a bit unfairly) God's Not Dead.
Fundamentalism is a pretty new phenomen and is antimodern in its nature, which threatens concepts of art and science based on modern thought.
Good shit doesn't make the headlines.
It sometimes makes the history books though.
>>989498
What a bunch of crap. The vast vast majority of what the arts community appreciate and generally huge labors of art are not religious anymore, and it's not just a social climate trend, people are simply not driven to create these things as much anymore. And I mentioned Ben-Hur because it's relatively recent and was a massive project with strong marketing, compared to a modern massive project with strong marketing
it's not an outlier either, there are many modern religious works that are very weak, and...

Did they ever actually see combat?
No, they were basically police, they weren't a combat force
>>989093
>they weren't a combat force
though the potential existed and if needed, they would
>>989074
Yes if you count fighting large street gangs as combat.
What are the best books spanning the entirety of human history or large parts of it?
I want to go through a book like that and then choose a particular period or point of interest to look at in more depth in a separate book.

Who was the edgiest philosopher?
Some people might nominate Otto Weininger, but honestly I merely consider him a gender realist. My vote probably goes to the phrophet Muhammad.
>>988794
Well, he's about as much of a philosopher as he is a prophet, I guess. Or a lion tamer.
>>988794
I love philosophy gorilla.
>>988794
Sade. When you get down to it, him and Mohammed were in the same ballpark on certain things.
pick a flaw.

He's bald and jowly.
Here's one.
Wanted to destroy non-German nations living in his country by taking away their land, forcing them to become like them. Especially catholics.

No, but seriously, this has got to be the most fucked up little girl that I've read about in a while. And she's ridiculously interesting from an academic perspective.
>>986843
Isn't she in California somewhere?
But seriously, this is one fucked up story. She has one chance at life and this happens to her.
>>986849
Supposedly she's in a home for the mentally retarded. That must be an awesome life, going through all that crap for thirteen years only to discover that you'll be spending the rest of your life in the company if literal mental retardation.
>>986863
I guess it is better than what she had previously
Are there any history or humanities teachers on /his/? If so, do you ever feel like being 4chan could be some kind of danger to your career or otherwise respectable image?
Yes.
History teachers have been on both here and /lit/ and said that any discovered history of 4chan use usually results in either a warning or being sacked on the spot.
>>985577
Wouldn't that just apply to using at school?
>implying people irl care about some faggy website
4chan isn't muh sekrit club anymore
Where should I start with Heidegger?
>>984660
Start with the Greeks.
No, really. He said himself any student of philosophy should study Aristotle for ten years before taking up modern philosophy.
What >>984696 said.
Once you've sufficiently studied the Greeks (I do think 10 years of Aristotle is an excessive requirement), you can begin with Heidegger's Introduction to Metaphysics.
>>984660
If you have to ask in English, it's already too late.
