How do I become Max Stirner in the most faithful way possible? I already got myself a wife who fucks other men as well, though I'm currently working on squandering her cash on opening a milk shop.
I also haven't found a circle of leftists to drink beer with and am currently trying to get a teaching position at an all-girls school. Any advice?

Being Max Stirner is just a spook.

Came here to say this. Stirner is a spook and trying to "be" Stirner is pretty fucking spooky.

Even in college my teachers would just skim over anything about this including history. What can /his/ tell me about the USSR? Any good books? How does it compare to its fellow super power and are there any misconceptions about them that should be cleared up? Was the KGB any different from the CIA? Was the US as big of a threat as many in the USSR thought? Did they either want global communism or did they really want people to stop invading them? After Stalin, were they really the "bad guys"?
USSR general I suppose

>How does it compare to its fellow super power and are there any misconceptions about them that should be cleared up?
Super-power is a pretty bourgeois western conception.
>Was the KGB any different from the CIA?
Conquest, Great Purge. (More like the FBI).
>Was the US as big of a threat as many in the USSR thought?
ha ha ha ha ha ha oh wow.
Read some fucking books first. Pirani, Fitzpatrick, Andrle.

>What can /his/ tell me about the USSR?
They did it wrong, like all real world Communists. Also they were very, very bad for everyone.
>After Stalin, were they really the "bad guys"?
According to people on this board who grew up behind the Iron Curtain, yes.
Why did pre-modern people have such a casual/positive attitude towards violence and human suffering in general?
culture of high infant mortality, dying at 30 and small heda
>>368946
They were closer to the rawness of a world that was not kind, I mean without a reedemer god who forgave all transgression and preached kindness I don't think they could have a peaceful identity.
Peaceful cultures got killed.
Death was all around them. Mothers died often in childbirth, many children did not survive the first few years of their lives, common illnesses that we can easily survive now killed many, and complications from injuries or infections were much more fatal as well. Life was difficult and short, if you couldn't take a blasé view of violence and suffering, you'd go insane.
How exactly did the Greek's actually deal with all their gods and godesses? Did they practice human sacrifice, or was just building temples and shit considered to be enough? How did they decide which Gods to worship; there were too many to do all of them at once.
>>368755
>Did they practice human sacrifice
Classical Athens still did.
>there were too many to do all of them at once.
yh
>How exactly did the Greek's actually deal with all their gods and godesses?
It was less like honoring benevolent protectors and more like appeasing violent bullies
>Did they practice human sacrifice
Sometimes
>How did they decide which Gods to worship
Some cities worshiped all 12 Olympians, others had a patron
>>368755
>How did they decide which Gods to worship
Depends what type of life you led. If you lived off the land than Artemis is a good choice because she is a nature goddess. If you were a fisher or sailor Posidein was a good God. A warrior would worship Ares. If you were sick there were healing Gods.
It was really a personal matter. You could have one or many Gods.
What do you guys think of them? They didn't do a bad job at ruling Italy and it was a shame that they were destroyed imo
Well
They had a really cool name, at least.
Is it true that most of them settled in Austria?
>>368873
Well, there probably were settlements there but I believe that most of them moved to Italy. Austria got settled by the Bavarii and slavic tribes later on. There were remainders in the Pannonian basin, Crimea, and probably Austria, but they got assimilated/displaced by later invaders.

So from what I understand, Turkish people came from somewhere, entered the Eastern Roman Empire and sacked Constantinople. There, they established the Ottomon Empire, right?
In other words - is modern day Turkey originally Ethnic European land? Or was it just the Western side of Turkey that was Ethnic native European land?
Did the Kurds inhabit the Eastern side?
Also, where did Ethnic Kurds originate from?
i believe turks are from central asia
>>368377
>is modern day Turkey originally Ethnic European land?
For the western side, yes, if you consider the Ancient Greeks to be European in a modern sense. The eastern side was dominated by nations in the far east like Persia.
>>368377
Anatolia was originally Greek, yes. The Turkic people came from Central Asia, and with the successful invasion of Anatolia by the Turkic Seljuks, Turks migrated there and established it as their new homeland.

Hey Christian-anons. Is having premarital sex immoral? I want to sexless until marriage, but I really doubt I'll find someone I can love who'd be willing to wait. Lately I've been having dreams about women trying to seduce me or lead me away from churches, so it's something that's being weighing heavily on my mind.
>>368123
>Hey Christian-anons. Is having premarital sex immoral?
Were you born stupid or is this just a teenage phase?
>religion
>>368123
You have to consider that Christ the man was a person of his times. He taught and his followers taught according to the sexual mores of religious Jews two thousand years ago. Since then, a lot of repressive acts by the church have restricted Christian sexuality (forcing priestly celibacy, contrary to Peter's own example comes to mind).
I'd say from a moral point of view, sexual intercourse is intended by God for reasons of procreation and expressing physical love. You should only do that with someone whom you love completely, and are willing to raise a child with. Generally marriages are more stable environments for nurturing long lasting love and raising children.
I think this is a case in which the authors of scripture and the church fathers were using God's authority to preserve the fabric of society. Broken families and fatherless children due to premarital sex is bad in any age.
Take it for what you will. Catholic here, btw.
Thoughts on Khazaria?
>Elhaik reengaged the controversy late last year when the Oxford journal Genome Biology and Evolution published his study, “The Missing Link of Jewish European Ancestry: Contrasting the Rhineland and the Khazarian Hypotheses.” The young Jewish researcher challenged the so-called “Rhineland hypothesis”—the broadly accepted genetic and historic evidence that about 80 percent of Jewish Ashkenazi males trace their ancestry to a core population of approximately 20,000 Eastern European Jews who originated in the Middle East. Elhaik wrote that the Khazars converted to Judaism in the eighth century, although historians believe and genetic evidence confirms that only a fraction of the population converted, including almost certainly royalty and some members of the aristocracy.

Elhaik is an Israeli Jew who went to John Hopkins

>>368106
If he's implying that European Jews descend from Khazars: nope. It's even dubious to assume that more than a few individual elites converted to Judaism, or that those individuals even knew what the hell Judaism was actually about. And genetics show a clear link to a Semitic origin, not a Turkic one
Even if most Jews were Khazars I don't understand why that's considered a bad thing

Winston Churchill was a lover of zany weapons, wunderwaffe, and "decisive" special operations. Tom Clancy is more credible.
Louis Mountbatten was a lover of clever plans and elite forces. By which I obviously mean batshit inane underplanned crap and number six wire and a 2 be 4.
Together they planned an invasion of Norway by Norwegian/Canadian special forces.
Königsberger Volkssturm-Bataillonsführer und SA-Hauptsturmführer Ernst Tiburzy. The 34 years old, already seriously wounded East Prussian Tiburzy received the Knight’s Cross on February 10, 1945. Tiburzy was the Bataillonsführer of Volkssturm-Bataillon 25/82 in Festung Königsberg. When the Russians made an armoured assault, Tiburzy knocked out a T-34 with a Panzerfaust. When one of his platoon commanders cowardly tried to escape, Tiburzy shot the man, grabbed some new Panzerfäuste and knocked out a further four T-34’s. He then personally led his Battalion in a counter-attack on the Russian positions and held his part of the front sector.
One thing I never got about this poster is the inclusion of the Ku Klux Klan hood as a negative aspect of the US.
Wouldn't Hitler at least have no hostility towards the KKK since they both shared ideas of white supremacy? Did Hitler ever express his views of them?
>>368061
Hitler never thought highly of Americans in general
Hitler didn't really sell violent, torturous extermination of lesser races. He told the Germans that people of occupied territories would merely be forced to work for them as an underclass.
Remember that concentration camps were advertised as merciful housing complexes for the now-homeless Jews.
>>368078
>He told the Germans that people of occupied territories would merely be forced to work for them as an underclass.
Except jews. Or at least German jews. He may not have made the holocaust his selling point but he did speak of their extermination.
Could the Whites have won the Russian Civil War? What would have needed to happen differently for that to occur?
>>368032
If they could put aside the political backstabbing and maneuverings for positions in a post Civil War Russia and unite against the Reds.
So no.
If the whites completely unified and the Red Army never got of the ground the way it did. Also if the US and the other intervening nations decided to full on involver themselves instead of trying to maintain deniability
