There are two major religions in Japan. One of them are “Shinto”,which is traditional Japanese religion. The other is Buddhism. Almost all Japanese belong to both Shinto and Buddhism “statistically”. However, the majority of Japanese people does not recognize a sense of belonging to religions,and they also consider themselves to have ‘No religion’. Although we respect many religious ideas and rituals,they think these are mere culture. But the thing that it does not really matter in Japanese society is also true.
Japanese belong to.
Most Japanese answer...

Not only the thing that Japanese does not recognise their religion, but also they belong to 2 religions simultaneously are quite surprised.
Why??
Note:The following description includes personal opinions.
We(Japanese) more often respect many religious ideas and rituals than we realise. For example,most of the funeral ceremonies in Japan are observed as Buddhist ritual. We visit a shrine or a temple on new year’s day.
We rely on the deities when we are in trouble. Moreover, if a person who had got away with doing bad meets with a misfortune,we say it...

Spirituality is a lie.
Japanese religion is an interesting concept, my mother is Okinawan and I have a mainland Japanese sister-in-law and neither of them would say that they belong to any official religion. However, they and their families follow many traditions and practices that clearly come from Shinto and Buddhist beliefs. The conclusion we came to was just that Japanese people have a tendency to assimilate from others in just about everything. It's just a weird cultural thing that's really hard to explain to westerners, part of why I never understood people who cry about cultural appropriation.
What's up with the haphazard tactics in The Iliad where heroes just wander around aimlessly? This compared to the Aeneid's autismus maximus regarding formations and troop movements.
>>783034
Heroes were schizopathic and prone to physicoemotional outbursts, soldiers in the Aeneid were a reflection of soldiers of Virgil's own time, which were less schizopathic and more autistic (physicoemotionally milder and more mental or intellectual).
>>783034
Homer was an old guy who didn't know how war works.
Virgil was a Roman.

Why didn't they just invade India and China?
who
>>782501
>India
They did. North India.
>China
Mountains and desert.
China is very far away and the terrain getting there is more rugged that the road towards Greece
Plus China was HUGE in many ways
I thought they did go into India a little bit, isnt that what Gerdrosia was?
Why were the Protestants so crazy about burning witches, compared with Catholics who somewhat more restrained, and the Orthodox who didn't do it at all?
>>782172
Witch burnings are just a meme, like the Spanish Inquisition being psychos who would randomly abduct people just to torture them.
>>782172
Most orthodoxs were under ottoman rule in those times so I think that could be a reason why they didn't do it that much.
Catholics didn't either
You were actually more like to get in trouble than the accused "witch"
The Inquisition was partially about rooting out superstition (belief in witchcraft implied paganism)
Anyone claiming to be a witch was punished the same way any liar would be: whipping or a fine
What are the ethics of reparations? What can you illuminate about privilege and the concept of owing something to descendants of people that were harmed?
>>782040
It's a ridiculous concept pedaled by racial supremacists and pathological altruists.
>>782040
Its valid between nations and living peoples; its not so valid with anyone else.
Why would anyone even want to be a Roman Emperor? The expected lifespan is abysmal, you'd be living in constant fear of your life it seems
Romans were culturally political the way the middle east is religious.
Get a load of this pleb. Being a Roman Emperor is better than being the Shashahallah of Persia. Why would you NOT want to be the king?

what do you mean by this?
So what is this mysterious bag?
A bag. For putting things in.
Shoes and hats have also been invented independently at multiple points around the globe. COULD ALIENS BE RELATED?!

They had Gucci bags back in 1250 before Christ?
Would you consider Stefan Molyneux more of researcher than a philosopher?
Here's a random video for reference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1xf78EltKM
>>780852
I would consider Stefan Molyneaux more of a cult leader than a philosopher myself.
Researcher implies that he's done some research.
>>780852
Neither. I would classify him as a "clown"
One of the many assholes on youtube who parrots opinions to people who already agree with him.
What kind of Middle East do you want, senpai?

There's a WWII reenactment happening in my town soon and I want to sign up, but my mother is pissed that I'm going to dress up as a Wehrmacht and she called me a Nazi. Should I not be doing this? Any reenactors that can enlighten me?
>>778958
Most people will assume that you are an actual nazi. Some of them ARE actually nazis. Pick something actually interesting instead. Also don't assume you can just wander up in costume and expect to take part.
>>778958
Don't spout the good Wehrmacht crap. The Heer had its share of war crimes, don't try to downplay it.
But tell her that you can't have Othello without somebody playing Iago, or The Merchant of Venice without Shylock, but the world would be deprived of two good plays if nobody was willing to play it.
As your mother, she knows you aren't a nazi, so explain to her the educational aspect of a historical reenactment, and make her understand that you are no more a Nazi than the person who...

If a Christian criticized a Hindu for having so many gods, what might a Hindu say?
>"y-you better back off! I h-have a friend who is a Kshatriya!"
"Pssh. Nothing personnel, kid."
That Hindu Gods are all part of one whole God or something like that.

Ehh, I have grave doubts as to whether or not the Whites could have ever formed anything that wasn't as equally repressive and incompetent.
Plus, an enormously weakened Russia is probably one of the few things that puts a German victory in WW2 into the realm of plausibility, although personally I still think it's unlikely, if nothing else, the Atomic Bomb is almost certain to end things.
>>771301
the cold war was pretty neat, it was a period of stability and global growth
the world kind of went all to shit after the berlin wall fell
It doesn't end there, because this bolshevist bullshit also devastated Asia.
Look at what a dystopia North Korea is.
So just what exactly is Fascism? What makes a Fascist a Fascist? Or is it easier to say what Fascism is not?

why does hollywood always portray a dystopian and orwellian world if hitler won WW2?
>>782161
Because Orwell based his ideas on an extrapolation of wartime politics on all sides that the NSDAP would probably perpetuate into peace time?
>>782161
Because it was fucking miserable in Nazi Germany, and Hitler's dreams of the global reich weren't any brighter. Controlling what art you can create, constant propaganda, even something as petty as hair curlers could be out of your reach if deemed counterproductive to the war effot.
>>782161
Because Nazi Germany was dystopian and Orwellian, and people are generally myopic and extrapolate current trends into the far future.
