do concepts exist?
>>407489
Haven't you read any plato
>>407489
Quick, before they come.
>>407489
Yes, in the sense that feelings, numbers, logic, laws and shit exist.
people say I am a denier not a revisionist
>treblinka was a transit camp for jews being deported into the eastern territories
it was not a fake train station where jews herder their fellow jews into fake showers to be gassed by diesel exhaust from a captured soviet tank
anyone who believes the official treblinka story is an idiot, simple as that
don't believe me? read "one year in treblinka", about ivan the terrible, about the mattresses made from juden hair about babies being thrown over the top of 750...

I'm sorry, but your English skills don't appear to be quite up to speed with this board.
I'd like to recommend Duolingo, or Rosetta Stone if you have some money.
Who's your favourite Pope, /his/?

Saint Leo IX, I think.
Is this even a discussion ?
Innocent III

>sister asks me if I subscribe to any philosophy
>tell her I'm a secular humanist
>she laughs and says that's the absolute worst philosophy there is, even Islam is more respectable
Safe to say my sister is an irrational person?
Your sister sounds like a pretentious cunt but then again most secular humanists are as well
I think both of you ought to kill yourselves
>>406527
Not worse than islam.
But secular humanism is garbage tier.

is it possible to create anything original anymore?
Has anything original been made since the 1950s when the flood gates were opened? LSD, the Moon Landing, electronic music, and now it's Silk Road, glitch art, Tumblr, and Bandcamp.
How can one be original in a world where everyone is regarded as unique and special?
Is art dead, /his/?
>>406494
Idk
What artist is that though? I really like glitch art and that's a really good piece.
>>406494
if human artifice is itself the first artistic creation, and technology has blown open our dependence upon anything ~but~ our artificial creations, by what reference point are we ever to judge the work of art or communicate with others?
Is language itself becoming obsolete and meaningless?
>>406507
idk I just google glitch art but let's be serious i'm having an artistic crisis here!
if everyone's art is equally unique and special than nothing new can be further created. free jazz was the end of originality in music, and the internet is the end of communication in humans.
what do we do!?

Sweden once put everything into building what would essentially be the equivalent to a Super Star Destroyer of a ship
It was so big that when it was launched it fell over and sank

Swedes also like seeing their women ravaged by the bbc as well.

Who would win in an all out war?
The year is 1939
>>406155
Swiss are german, Latvia and Lithuania are their own group, Turkey, Greece, Albania and the caucuses don't belong together, most of North Africa is arab
>>406175
I had to balance it a bit
>>406155
from more likely to less likely to win
Germanic
Slavic
Latin
Ottoman
Finn-Ugric
Egypt-Arabia
Celtic
North Africa
also I'm pretty sure I say a Hearts of Iron 3 timelapse that was exactly this
So, /his/, what are your thoughts on specialization ?
I get along better with generalists, and am sort of one in terms of my knowledge and education, but more and more the world as a whole is moving towards a demand for hyperspecialized technocrats.
I'm not sure I'm qualified to comment
>>406117
What do you mean?
so who was worse?
Im sure they were both nice guys outside of work
meh stalin killed more people, but not for lack of trying on hitler's part. you could argue that hitler had a bigger role in starting WW2 than stalin and it's more attributable to him, but then who can say.

Anything interesting to know about the tribes that invaded Rome in the late 5th century?

Would Fascism work in the United States?

Wait until 2016 lol

Would fascism work in the Roman republic?

>Fascists view World War I as having made liberal democracy obsolete, and regard total mobilization of society under a totalitarian single-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties.
Reality is more complicated, but the results are similar.
>Such a state is led by a strong leader — such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party — to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society.
It's already halfway there.
>Fascism rejects assertions of violence automatically being negative in nature and views political violence, war, and imperialism as means that can achieve national rejuvenation.
Check
>Fascists advocate a mixed economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.

It already fulfills 2 of the 4 prerequisites with a "liberal democrat" in power.

I want to learn more about history, but I don't have time in my class schedule to take history classes. What are some essential books to better understand history?
I read this for a political development class and thought it was really good. I've also read David Landes's The Wealth and Poverty of Nations. I want to learn more about Middle Eastern, Russian, and Byzantine history.
Pic related, it's the book

>What are some essential books to better understand history?
Get four or five historiography texts aimed at masters students.
Two books I can Reccomend
Animal Farm: It's basically a story that represents Stalins Russia and communism, but on a farm with pigs and the such. It may sound stupid but it's an amazing book (this one will probably come up a bit on this thread since most people have had to read it 1-3 times in school)
Man in the high castle: This one is alternate history of the Nazis conquering America in WWII. There's a lot of different characters and plot points but it mainly focuses on the division of America between Japan and Germany and a different world. It...
