Which of these paintings depicting the same subject is better?
>>802898
weren't they supposedly eaten without being chewed/alive?
"Better" is subjective
Goya's always freaked me out more.
Who would you consider the most revered heroes in european history?
I'd nominate Spartacus or Joan of Arc
Alexander the Great, bar none.
>>802821
Charles Martel
Jan Sobieski
Richard the Lionhart
Prince Eugen of Savoy
Adolf Hitler
>>802827
I had him in mind as well
Hi /his/, I'm trying to find information of East Asia, specifically things about the Chinese Empire, Japan, the Mongols, and India. I also want to know a bit about different mythologies/religions as well.
I want to create a fantasy world based off East Asia, anything you could tell me would really help.
I'm Hmong so I can only tell you about Hmong history.
There's not much to Hmong history.
>>802860
I meant stuff about the Khans and Mongol Invasions
>>802875
Yeah I figured.
Are the Abrahamic faiths authoritarian because of the inherent cultural attitudes of middle-eastern peoples?
In antiquity it was believed by all middle easterners that humans are born to be slaves of the Gods, and that good person unquestioningly serves his masters.
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all hold these same views.
The middle-east has always loved slavery so it's probably not much of a surprise
>>802431
>and that good person unquestioningly serves his masters.
Boy did you even read the New Testament
>>802458
Humans turned evil and suffer because they didn't obey their master
avoid middle east while you can.

Every day I curse this man for allowing natural law ethics to be brought into the world. It is by far the shittiest ethics
Hi /his/.
Let's have a discussion on African slave trade shall we? I am pretty new to the subject and admittedly I only want to learn about it so I can argue with "WE WUZ KINGZ" proponantes and the fact that they sold their own into slavery across the known world.
Let's start with the birth of America. Were the slaves used to build the nation 'sold' by their own kind or were they 'taken'?
>>802164
ere the slaves used to build the nation 'sold' by their own kind or were they 'taken'?
they didn't build the nation, they picked cotton for 2% of the population, stealing jobs and wages from the poorest classes.
>>802164
Most slaves were taken from other ethnic groups, not from within their own people with the exception of criminals
Periodically europeans would raid for slaves in the less organized areas of the west coast, it was a risky venture and most preferred to just bu from locals on the coast
Africans already practiced slavery, and sometimes sold slaves to merchants (Arabs and Jews originally). When demand from European colonists in America increased, they started raiding rival tribes specifically to acquire slaves to sell. Merchants didn't go around capturing slaves themselves, no.
On a related note, slavery was first introduced to British America when a Mozambican Negro successfully sued for the right to keep his slave in Virginia.
Is it because the order was founded to counteract the Reformation or because it didn't work as well against that when compared to, say, the Dominicans who were founded to counteract the Albegensian Heresies?
Because it's hilarious and pathetic how hard the reach with stuff like
>Muh Jesuit Oath!
>Muh Chick Tracts!
>t. Alberto Rivera!
I think it's because they specialise in education. So anyone who went to a Jesuit school, Protestants will claim was "brainwashed by the Jesuits".

what century do you find the most interesting? For me its the 15th:
>the climax and end of the hundred years war
>the rise to dominance of gunpowder weapons
>the end of the Byzantine empire
>discovery of the Americas by Europeans
Late 18th-early 19th.
>Great Revolution
>birth of the modern world
>Dawn of a new age of liberty
>>801729
also Napoleon
The 20th
>start off riding horses, owning slaves, exploring "mysterious" untouched blank areas on the map, and living with absolute monarchies
>end up with faster than sound aircraft, space travel, internet, electron microscopes, and the highest standards of living ever
Could it have ever become a reality?
No.
Hitler was fucked as soon as he failed to take Moscow, and even if he had his troops would have been bled dry in the east trying to hold down everything west of the Urals and eventually Britain and the US would probably have fucked them up.
>>801683
We should never forget the Nuclear bombs in this.
As long as the Germans stayed at war with the US they had that little timer ticking them.
>>801758
>D Day doesn't happen
>Germany wins in russia
>America drops A-Bombs on both Germany and Japan and they surrender
Better outcome?
I guess losing the liberation of france without A-Bombs would be bad culturally.
How can you justify this? In case anyone missed the point, how can you believe in something so new, so fervently?
Because humans don't live too long.
What's the alternative?
>>801605
Why does there have to be an alternative? Is all the war and hatred we have today with the multiple religious institutions worth a simple alternative?
How have the Christian church historically chosen to explain that virtuous people who denied Christ or never had a chance to accept Christ been sent to the same hell murderess and other evildoers are sent to?
Pic somewhat related.
>>801332
1. There are no virtuous people.
2. Everyone deserves to go to hell.
3. We all started in the same place, and are all related.
Anything else?
>>801332
Shitty Op grammar, sorry.
How have, the various Christian Churches, through history chosen to explain that people who by Christians standards have been sent to hell simply because never accepting Christ?
Many of them never even had the slightest chance to accept Christ, such as the American Indians before Columbus.
>>801355
So how do people deserve to go to heaven?

Was Julius Evola an angry crank who wrote ahistorical screeds, or has his work been increasingly vindicated by the course of modernity?
i don't know Anon why don't you listen to the man and judge for yourself:

What does /his/ think about this guy? I tried to watch a couple of his videos, but I his voice annoyed me too much.

he talk. like. this.
i think short videos is good for summary but bad for learning specifically for the lack of details
I don't know why you guys idolize the Crusades.
It was 1 successful campaign, then 200 years of getting a humiliating ass-kicking.
No amount of DEUS VULT memes will ever change that.
