What is the difference between nationalism and patriotism?
Is nationalism just radical patriotism?
Patriotism = I fight for my country
Nationalism = I fight for my people
there is none, both is idolatry of the state
Patriotism = I'm proud of my people
Nationalism = My country is always right
"For it is the fate of every myth to creep gradually into the narrow confines of an allegedly historical reality and to be treated by some later time as a unique fact with historical claims; and the Greeks themselves were already well down the road towards transforming their whole mythical, youthful dream, ingeniously and arbitrarily, into a historical-pragmatic history of youth. For this is usually how religions die. It happens when the mythical presuppositions of a religion become systematized as a finished sum of historical events under the severe, intellectual gaze...

>All these Christians focusing all their mental energy into gorunding their religious events in history

They have no idea but they are destroying it all.

Exactly this, the people who come on here swinging and apologizing for Christianity are doing exactly what they shouldn't be doing.
But Christianity (and Judaism) have always claimed to be historically-based religions. So is he saying Christianity was dead and its birth?

What are your thoughts on the Ottoman Empire?
>>544252
their chairs are nice and have a varied selection
their beds are ass, no support
Powerful, respectable and mighty empire before they got BTFO in Vienna, after that they were slowly approaching their end, becoming irrelevant in european affairs. Suleiman was based though.

Uniquely long-lived for what began as another Turkic dynasty, and unique also as a Muslim power centered in Constantinople and the Balkans.

“The elephants gave spine-chilling screams. Their house was still standing but an explosive bomb of terrific force had landed behind it, lifted the dome of the house, turned it round, and put it back on again... The baby cow elephant was lying in the moat on her back with her legs helplessly reaching up toward the sky, suffering severe stomach injuries unable to move. The hippopotamuses were drowned when debris pinned them to the bottom of their water basin. In the ape house, a gibbon reached out to the trainer, only bloody stumps left of its arms. Nearly forty rhesus monkeys...

Fun fact, there were elephant species native to North Africa and the Middle East but bronze age humans drove them to extinction.

Very interesting
Why did so few jews end up in Ireland after WWII?
Was in because of Irish "neutrality" or was there a lot of anti-semitism in Ireland, or did they just hate us potato niggers?
No one has ever immigrated to Ireland

Gee anon, I don't know why.
So is any of this actually true?

It makes some good points, but it's only a piece of a much larger puzzle
from a metaphysical standpoint, who am I?
You are who you are, ontologically speaking

You are OP, the Faggot who Lived.
Let's say a "time travel" machine is invented. We figure out how to travel through time and space, but instead of the way it's normally portrayed in fiction it teleports you into a parallel reality that is an exact copy of Earth at any time period you wish, where history plays out exactly as it actually did back then. This way there's no chance of you fucking up the world by doing anything.
You can understand any languages spoken. You have the ability to talk to people normally and walk around, or you can become invisible and completely silent,...

Any knowledgable /his/torians that can share some interesting facts about his regime or for that matter of his personal life?
I'd like to discuss the amount of brainwashing he did to his people without mass media.
Since the fucker went full rural how did he keep up with the act of ascending himself to godhood ala Kim Jong-IL without newspapers and television?

Since I'm pretty sure religion is under humanities, what can you tell me about Buddhism, /his/?
I'm exploring religion and spirituality and it was one of the religions I was curious about
Pic unrelated
It's a meme religion that's heavily romanticised by Western orientalists and practiced in unrecognisable and redundant forms here
best thing about buddhism are those martial monks in chinkland. shits legit.

Pretty much that unenlightened life is suffering and there is a way to end suffering.
Then from enlightenment nirvana, after the effects of one's karma are complete they "attain" but there is no attainment in Buddhism.
Some Buddhists are strictly renounced in accordance to Gautama's teachings and others live a life where they bring enlightenment to others.
It is controversial when Buddhist and deities and God mix together, but the bottom line of Buddhism is the heart of its teaching.
No...
