Dostoyevsky once said that being "too conscious" is a disease. If so then what's the cure?
Vodka.

Were the Russians really terrible in WW2 and in during the Soviet Union?
>>796515
Their leadership was at first. Too much politics.
Once they turned that around they shit-kicked Germany in record time.
>>796515
Up until the battle of moscow, yeah.
Awful leaders and they were materially unprepared for the war.
Sometimes there were 2 men for each gun (Leningrad being the most notable example)

Stalin learned to go hands off and let his generals work on their own, and this lead to the Red Army getting better as the war went on.
Hitler learned to control more and more of the military's operation, and this lead to the Wehrmacht getting worse as the war went on.
Why did Christianity spread like wild-fire across the Roman Empire but Judaism didn't?
No one wanted to chop a bit of their dick off.
because no emperor ever became jew.

what is evangelical?
Can someone explain this meme?
British philosophy ends two steps after it begins, invariably with intolerable smugness.
Continental philosophy = leftist political activism
Analytical philosophy = intellectual masturbation
>muh positivism
>muh objectivity
How was the USA so effective at getting the working class to reject ideologies that promote active class struggle?
Retarded appeals to tradition, religion, and 'muh american values'.
By giving them higher standards of living than the countries that had pursued class struggle as a central political goal.
Poor quality of state sponsored education, and cultural focus on upwards class mobility combined with the other two replies.
Which is more important to the chain of events of history: selfish interests or ideology?
I used to think that selfish interests, like the desire for more resources, greed and money, would be the leading cause for revolutions, wars and the like.
Now however it has become clear to me that in fact, ideologies play a much bigger role. Most of the times, man will fight to defend what he believes in rather than to fight for his material desires.
Which is more important in history: ideology, or interest?
Discuss.
Nah fampai, it's all material at its core.
What makes you think otherwise?
>>796379
It's all class struggle, really.
>Which is more important to the chain of events of history: selfish interests or ideology?'
>Muh 'history as revolutionary movement and nothing else' meme
>Americans and Britons have to cut back on some luxury foods for the war effort
>Russians are literally eating each other in Leningrad
>US and UK lose about 800,000 military personnel and civilians combined
>USSR loses 8 million soldiers alone. 9 million civilians
Should Americans and British people even be allowed to talk about 'muh wartime effort and sacrifices'?
Yes, all sides should be able to share their story.
>>796221
No. And on top of this is the fact that the Americans and Britons aiding/engaging in war against the Soviets during the civil war period, worsening the conditions of the pre-WWII USSR. Cunts, the lot of them.
>>796221
I don't think so.
We should spend a bigger part of our education on learning on the suffering of people that weren't Jews or west Europeans during world war two, but crying that we care more about those that are similar to us is like crying that people cared more about the massacre in Paris than those occuring outside of Europe.
Just because their effort was smaller don't mean it didn't matter or was an unimportant part of their daily lives.

Brown nosing and elitism.
Exactly on February 1st I had a dream.
A dream about the poor young girls who became military sexual slavery by Japan. I've prepared myself to bring out a piece of justice for the pure and innocent girls who became helpless victims for the Japanese Imperial Army.
As stated by one of the survivors, "The Japanese Soldiers decapitated one of the girls who resisted their order and put the head into a boiling pot. Then they made the rest of the girls in the group drink the water."
How does it make you feel to see this decapitated head of Emperor...

They were prostitutes. Victors' history books and ten minutes in Photoshop won't change this.

>They were prostitutes
Every single mainlander Japanese colonists and soldiers fucked during that time was a prostitue?
>>796095
Japan has already admitted to and apologized for their heinous crimes, weeb. Take your delusion back to anime land.
Sup /his/, I couple weeks ago I got my court summons for jury selection. Has anyone here sat on a jury before? There's still a small chance I'll actually be selected to be on a jury but I think it would be an interesting experience.
Also common law thread.

I've not done it in your country, but did it a few years ago in a Crown Court here in London. It was surprisingly enjoyable. Make sure you actually take notes and don't make any snap judgements for fuck's sake. You literally have one job. Oh and don't even think about sending any messages, tweeting or god forbid googling somebody's name. You can destroy the entire case and be charged with a criminal offence (at least here).
I expect there isn't much difference between Canadian and...

cool thanks for the input
I`m not officially a juror yet, I just have to go for jury selection
>>795976
>french obligatory
>not in quebec
Seriously?
In any case, burger here. I went in the jury selection, and honestly there's a ridiculously easy way out (at least here) that doesn't require any lying or trickery.
They ask if you could fairly deliver a verdict about the violation of a law, no matter your opinion on the justness or fairness of the law itself, or the punishment in case of conviction. They went down the line, everybody...

Why did not any civilization employ them?
Boars are dangerous, fearsome animals and surpass horses in many logistical departments and lethality. Their meat can be sacrificed on long desert walks (such as conquering Egypt etc. long barren distances ), more delicious meat. Highly intelligent animals too.
>>>795910
Because it's fucking hard to get them to do what you want. You may as well ask why people didn't use war-lions next.
>>795920
I've owned several pet pigs and they were all very obedient unto my will
>>795920
This and you can't breed them to tame them or they turn into tasty pigs.

They don't know anything since they don't exist anymore.
Some say that Norsemen used to be peaceful traders before going batshit and starting raids but that doesn't make much sense the fact that blood feuds were a thing (in fact that was the reason why every free man etiher carried a weapon or was within few steps of one) and a lot of their gods are violent clearly shows that they weren't a culture of dindunuffins. It seems like people who tried to show that Norsemen were more than just raiders went into another extreme and painted them as hippies who never attacked unprovoked and cuddlied puppies. Are historians full of shit?
Trying to learn anything from the internet, espescially 4chan is fucking stupid. I can even begin to explain how retarded everyone is when discussing the vikings. Its almost always biased Scandinavians praising them or wannabee nords who decided to bring the vikings down if they couldn't join them.
Basically the vikings is a no-go subject on /his/.
1. "Vikings" were never a group of people. Viking was something you did, a multi-purpose thing which basically meant "sailing near the coast to different places", it carries no implication of the purpose of the journey, it could be for raiding, trading, establishing relations, diplomacy or just sight-seeing or whatever
2. Every "free man" did probably carry a weapon in the 9th-10th century, this was because people lived closer to nature and took care of themselves in a way that modern citydwellers probably don't understand. A knife and an...

Kali yuga began approximately five thousand years ago, and it has a duration of 432,000 years, leaving us with 427,000 years till the end of the present age. Within this 432,000 year period, there is a period of 10,000 years that will be a golden age. After 432,000 Years we will enter new Satya Yuga (Golden Age)
Characteristics of Kali-Yuga (Present Iron Age)
>Rulers will become unreasonable: they will levy taxes unfairly.
>Rulers will no longer see it as their duty to promote spirituality, or to protect their subjects: they will become a danger to the world.
>People will start migrating, seeking countries where wheat and barley form the staple food source.
>Avarice and wrath will be common. Humans will openly display animosity towards each other. Ignorance of dharma will occur.
>People will have thoughts of murder with no justification and will see nothing wrong in that.
>Lust will be viewed as socially acceptable and sexual intercourse will be seen as the central requirement of life.
>Sin will increase exponentially, whilst virtue will fade and cease to flourish.
>People will take vows and break them soon after.
>People will become addicted to intoxicating drinks and drugs.
>Gurus will no longer be respected and their students will attempt to injure them. Their teachings will be insulted, and followers of Kama will wrest control of the mind from all human beings.
>Brahmans will not be learned or honored, Kshatriyas will not be brave, Vaishyas will not be just in their dealings.
