How did Portugal justify its alliance with Protestant England to the pope
There was never a Portuguese-British alliance. What you're thinking about was the Anglo-Portuguese alliance confirmed in 1373.
>>871917
Yeah that, how did They justify it in 1700 or so when the British are full Protestants

Does anyone else feel that Mussolini was a man of great political vision?
He was an abject failure in military expeditions, and I disagree with Fascism on a few counts,
however, he saw politics as an art, and he was a master.
For example, look at the goal of the EUR district. While it was never "used" as intended, the principle is genius.
>>871048
Ambitions bigger then means or ability.
>>871048
Not really. Look at his internal situation compared to other facist leaders. He was actually dismissed by his king, a notion that would be absurd to apply to someone like Hitler, or even Franco.
>>871048
He had vision but he was so insane and pathetically inept that it doesn't count for anything.

The universe is painted with constants and limits to the laws of which it is governed. Positive attract is negative, and positive cannot attract another positive. Yet man can imagine a world where like charges attract, and alternate repel. Man can comprehend the impossible, and form ideas that can never exist. Man is not limited in the extent of is cognitive creation. We form new ideas and thoughts that the universe can't. We can form ideas and realities that can never even hope to exist. Therefore could this imply that our minds are not governed by the same laws of the...

>Man is not limited in the extent of is cognitive creation.
Concepts like 'a world where positive attracts positive,' 'a being that is half man and half horse,' and 'a world where everyone is nice to each other' are still pretty firmly inspired by reality, they just take one aspect of reality and either negate it or combine it with another aspect of reality to make a hybrid. This doesn't really prove that man can imagine anything, just that he can...

As Hinduism has great freedom of dogma, there's no big important Catholic Church to excommunicate you for being a Nazi.
Evola and Himmler were influenced by Hinduism, even if they were not Hinduist themselves as with Savitri Devi.
Here are a pair of posts I made on German-Hindu relations - which in fact predate Hitler and also involve pre-Communist leftist Germans, but eventually continued with nationalists in both Countries:

Very interesting.
I've known Savitri Devi for some time as the lady who converted to Hinduism and thought that Hitler was an incarnation of Vishnu, but never took the time to read any of her books until now.
Why is he considered an evil genius? Seems pretty dumb to me.
>Why is he considered an evil genius?
Because he isn't considered an evil genius.

He is, by normies

No, he isn't. What a waste of trips.
"Suppose that, instead of five people tied to the track, the trolley is filled with powerful explosives and heading toward a village where it will detonate, killing five hundred people. Now it seems that pushing the person into the tracks and causing the trolley to derail would be morally commendable. We shift from being deontologists to consequentialists. This switch is an embarrassment for philosophers who think that deontological theories and consequentialism are in competition."
What did he mean by this?
"What to do, when a ship carrying a hundred passengers suddenly capsizes and there is only one lifeboat? When the lifeboat is full, those who hate life will try to load it with more people and sink the lot. Those who love and respect life will take the ship's axe and sever the extra hands that cling to the sides."

This is what some friends and I came up with for the English language. Bonus points for explaining why we (english speaker here) have 2 different cases of every letter. Pic related
>middle case letters
why
>>868172
Cause today we mostly use the Humanistic script developped during the Reinassance using mostly Caroligian script as referencee (they thought that there were Roman originals), but the different medieval scripts, usually called Gothics did not fully dissapear.
it has to do with typography when there was no rules for dividing sentences with spaces or symbols the "capital" was used as the divider
the idea of the case was literal the printer had 2 sets of letters, capitals on top (upper) and the rest (lower) on the bottom
So the huns were basically mongols?
basically in structure, yes
basically in language and culture probably not
the similarity ends at the practicals, they rode horses were normads and had tents but they were very likely not the same groups of people
They were a part of the Turkish migration hailing form the sinking Atlantic civilization, defeating several million men strong armies using only a few thousands of soldiers themselves. As the Romans began to use dirty tricks ((Like massacring and poisoning millions of Turko-Hunnic civliians) the Turko-Hunns had to draw back to Asia, after inventing the wheel, modern agriculture as well as Democracy.
They would rise again once a few dozen Turko-Hunns (Then called Ottomans) defeated Millions of Europeans and Arabs, only getting defeated once the Orthodox neighbors massacred...

Is this guy the most recently influential anthropologist that everyone should read?

More influential as a revolutionary intellectual, no?
I've started to learn about pre-destination and that Jacob and Esau, Cain and Abel are examples of how some a chosen to be saved whilst others are doomed.
How does this work with the message of the Gospel?
As I am living my life I see no meaning and its a tough world with no comfort.
Religion, especially Christianity seems to offer a solution but what are your experiences?
Is religion ultimately the salvation even if superficial to a better life?

You don't need to believe in the teachings of a 0BC snake oil salesman to work out where you stand in the world and why it might not be as much of a devastating shithole as you perceive it to be, i'd recommend a lot of philosophy instead if that is your drive.
