Why did nobody intervene?
>>1387981
The only people with the power to intervene (the West) were/are a cowardly bunch of hypocrites slaved to the will of the barely educated masses who hardly care about events inside their borders, let alone on another continent.
Because the west wanted to observe how shit went down for future reference
>>1387999
Remind me what genocides the west has intervened in?
Are tastes subjective?
>>1387543
Of course. And I can't remember what the substance is, but if you eat it, the taste of everything else changes.
>>1387543
Is there any proof of it I wonder
>>1387543
Not quite, in some ways it is very much so but in some it's very much objective instead. Take for an example Yogurt and sour Milk. If you would eat only yogurt for a month or so you would find Sour Milk to be sour and the opposite if you dinned on sour milk for a month and then ate yogurt.
The same for certain body parts. In some cultures and ages big tits are good and in some others they aren't, stuff changes.
Still, there are many objective markers, such as symmetric bodies and facial ratios resembling...

When will this meme die?
When it stops being true.

Are there any good books about Stalin's life that aren't biased as hell, either in positive or negative way?
I find him to be a fascinating person to be honest.
>>1387360
Most unbiased sources, like diaries of Anatoly Chernayev who read some classified info on him, generally show him as a very shallow and petty person with love for raunchy jokes.
Ironically enough, Chernayev himself looks like a very shallow and petty person with love for raunchy jokes in his diaries.
Latest Stalin biography by Oleg Khlevniuk
The Court of the Red Tzar is pretty fucking based. It isn't critical of Stalin, but it also doesn't sugarcoat his flaws. Excellent book.
4chan often speaks of specific things being patrician or not, like a certain book or philosopher.
ITT: let's discuss how the Patrician Man LIVES in large. What is the patrician lifestyle?
>>1387341
What patrician stands for ?
recognizing flaws and working against them before they consume you
realizing that hedonism is good, but not everything, life is short and the worth of trying to achieve great things
embracing reality and learning how the world really works, then taking calculated risks and making an impact on it

Just read Stirner, my property
By ANY chance,

I really need it for a work ...
Hope someone can help,

One should not think about the doings of God when one’s stomach is full; on a full stomach there can be no vision of the Divine mysteries.
Thanks !! That's just perfect. Just need to translate it in french and it would be ready to post.
Thanks again :)
this is a shitty question just google it. why do you come here for a quote. there is also quite a bit more about the man
What's up /his/
can you guys hit me up with your best Seven Years War books? Something pretty general that covers as much of the whole picture as possible, so I can decide which direction to go in next
It never ceases to amuse me that this whole global war was caused pretty much singlehandedly by George Washington.
Fred Anderson "Crucible of War" is the best on the new world conflict.
Robert Asprey "Frederick the great" good bio with plenty on the Prussian side.
There are a lot of academic studies on the French Army during the war, etc.

cuz he ambushed that ambassador or something?
"Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class --->hated for their abominations, called Christians<---"
What did he mean by this?
He misunderstood Transubstantiation and thought they were cannibals
They were the Jews of his day
Why did the church favour the ideas of Augustine and condemn the ideas of Pelagius? Specifically Pelagius' idea that admission into heaven may be granted to all those who use their freedom of will virtuously, contrasted with Augustine's doctrine that God grants His divine grace to those who he pleases to choose, regardless of how virtuous and devotional they are. Because, surely, the church would wish for people to be under the impression that living a virtuous and devotional life will allow them admission into heaven, as it provides an incentive to lead a good life, so to speak.
>>1386352
Read the Bible
>>1386401
I've read parts of it
The Bible talks about fallen man's inherent, chronic and unchanging badness, this is what Pelagius failed to realise. The Holy Spirit does not indwell and empower the degenerate
Not strictly /his/ I know but if all these famous historical figures were black and Europe was predominantly black then what happened?
Where did the white people come from? How did they drive the black people into Africa? Why is there no evidence of any of this?
i have wondered some time now is this whole wewuzism thing just a meme or do some people really believe this shit?

How come the Southern US never had a successful slave revolt like Haiti?
American niggers are dumber than french niggers.
>>1386227
Haiti was like 90% black, an island, and across the atlantic ocean from support

The south war never more than 35% black.
>nationalism didn't exist until the 1800s
Proto-nationalism did, which is basically the same minus media
>>1386204
>nationalism is pride in your own ethnicity/culture
shoo shoo /pol/roach
Nationalism means a political movement which strive for national sovereignty. Before the French Revolution, the sovereign was a king and the idea of the political nation had not been fully developed in the modern sense.
Some people take this to mean that ethnic identity, patriotism, group loyalty and even nations themselves are modern concepts but this is bullshit.
How was Qin Shi Huang viewed throughout Chinese history up until modern times?
I know that he was ruthless, and I also understand that the Han tried to vilify him as much as they could, and it was during their reign that the highly acclaimed "Ten Crimes of Qin" was published. But was there a time when people viewed him a national hero? Or was he detested all the way through?
during the han dynasty he was vilified, because of his repression of confucianism and disregard of traditions (he wasnt Xia, filith steppenigger). They also ended up enemies of Legalism, the ideology they overthrew. He want to make it into the pantheon of the 5 emperors but failed.
>>1386194
I have a feeling that much of the hate on the Qin was down on one thing: his serious curtailment of the feudal nobility that led to their eventual demise in Imperial China.
We have no idea what the plebs thought of him, but keep in mind this cunt opened government offices to them via meritocracy and fucking abolished slavery.
I bet the Communists shitsmeared his memory too in modern china, hence allowing the meme EVIL KING memes to continue.

Why would they care. They even rehabilitated Cao Cao (tho mostly because people kept comparing Mao to him), why would they continue with the dynastic shitflinging that plagued the last 3000 years of chinese historical studies?
Hello /his/
