So is most of Russia, Canada, the US,China, Brazil and following the list down anything bigger than a pea.

Reinforcing European ethnocentrism by denying the significance of noneuropean conquest.
If the United States legalized polygamy, would the Mormon church go back to their old family doctrine?
Yes. And if the U.S. reintroduced segregation, they'd go back to their old racial doctrine as well.
Around Mormons, never lower hands.

There is literally nothing wrong with mormonism.

What is that from?
How is it that the vast majority of cosmological arguments throughout history are about divine conservation and yet almost no one discusses divine conservation but rather pictures all those arguments as talking about "the beginning of the universe"?
>>597799
Because of memes, obviously
Think of "divine conservation". It doesnt make for a good meme, while "beginning of the universe" does
>>597799
Because theists claim their god created the universe.
>>597799
I think most people think the universe as being self conserving, that is it seems complete in itself. They think of God like a clock maker who after making and setting the clock allows it to run on its own
whats some mind blowing philosophy? im sick of being a nihlist.

What is Germany?
Solipsism is my favorite. It's the only true uncertain-certain philosophy. Absurdism is good too.

What is India?
So /his/, what would be good examples of Pyrrhic Victories?

Why didn't they just drive around him?

he would then move in front of the newly positioned tank. It was a complicated situation to say the least
Which Goths are best Goths? Visi or Ostro?
Which one eventually contributed more (in terms of culture, architecture, customs etc) to the countries that they'll be integrated into? (Spain and Italy)
Visigoths sacked Rome, Ostrogoths occupied it.

Around what time, historically, did people start identifying more as individuals than as a family or community?
Twentieth century when humanism took the West by storm.

The moment people started using the same tripcodes in multiple threads

I believe it relates to the rise of urban cultures, coming and going the urbs grew and shrunk.
Not to say cities didn't have group identity, tutelary deities, etc.
But only within those massive population concentrations people could feel "outside" the monkey-sphere. Then, regular group dynamics, like those you may experience in small groups (your office, your clan, your tiny tribe), start to PERHAPS become something else. And even then, not usually.
The old testament plagiarized the Gilgamesh epic.
What are your thoughts on this?
jesus put the gilgamesh epic and dinosaur bones on earth to test our faith in him :^)

All it does is make the idea that there was really a flood more legitimate.
How influential has Anarchism been as a political movement?
Has there ever been an Anarchist state?
>>596692
Anarchist state is an oxymoron. This oxymoron isn't used except by people who don't know the first thing about anarchism. Do yourself a favor (if you really care to learn about it) and abandon this thread, and go read some anarchist writers: bakunin, kropotkin, etc. You won't get anything of value out of watching a bunch of arguing anonymous retards who also don't know shit about anarchism.

>Has there ever been an Anarchist state?
Correction: anarchist society*
Why does Northern Ireland exist? Seems like it would make more sense for the whole country to be united since it is in fact an island.

Have ye not heard of The Troubles?
>>596649
Yeah but why does it still exist
What went wrong with the Ottoman Empire that caused its downfall?
why don't you read the wiki article on it, follow some links, watch some videos, form a foundation of knowledge
THEN we can discuss the details
you are asking people to spoon feed you the summary of the situation without doing any work
oh wait, you did download a picture of the map
good job!
Heavy reliance upon Janissaries, failure to culturally assimilate the subjugated states and overall decentralization of the Empire.

How accurate are most "historic" games like EU4, Total War and Call of Duty? What are some /his/torically accurate games?
>>596452
not very, it can only give you a very rough idea of history and geography, nothing beyond that
>>596452
100% accurate senpai
Do you guys have any campaign ideas for EU4? Currently I'm trying to create a hegemony in the HRE as England.
