Ideologically what are the difference between these?
Theologically the orthodox and catholics aren't that different. It's mainly cultural and obviously they disagree on how to organize a church and who should have authority.
Proestants reject nearly every addition to faith through 'tradition' and adhere to the bible alone, usually. Technically Mormons are protestants and they certainly aren't Sola scriptura but I'm referring mainly to north American and European protestants that stemmed from luther.
This is a very crude approximation though.
Orthodoxy is mystical, Catholicism is rationalistic, Protestantism is full retard.
Protestantism is manly.
Cortez did nothing wrong. The Aztecs would have been a fucking nightmare to deal with by the Enlightenment if they hadn't been put down upon discovery. We'd be dealing with an ideologically Volkish Mexican ethnic state more interested in preserving its violent heritage than in cooperating with the world.

You say that like it wouldn't have been awesome.

It would have been, but I dunno, it would have been pretty fucked up, too.

You mean like Nazi Germany if they hD won the 2nd world war?
![Road[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/t7QqiP5.jpg "Road[1].jpg")
How were roads built prior to the 20th century? Who constructed and paid for them? Were they effective? Did people know how to use them? It's just hard to imagine what a road network would look like prior to the government building them.
Dirt paths were a pain, but local communities could work together to get them built. Further, travelers would naturally keep simple paths clear, with some maintenance required.
Paved roads are an entirely different story. If you want an early 20th century example of the shitshow that was early modern road construction, look up the Lincoln Highway.

In Rome it was later the army and some cunts from the Senate.
In Imperial China it was usually the Ministry of Works.
>>295172
Logic built the roads. A path walked by people enough grew naturally to become a "road". Necessity increased its safety and size. This was good for both man and government. The road is as essential as the plow or town hall. Benefits all
Prove them wrong by posting god-tier anthems, hymns and other /his/-worthy songs.

Usually they tend to believe motion is possible tbqh w y lad
The more they dig through overly complex ideas whle playing with word to put out their brand new and unique concept, the more they are likely to be full of shit.
example : Derrida. Différance my ass, it's just wordplay and nothing else.
When they claim that nothing is objective, aka the postmodern cop out.

>Muh Dresden
>Everyone ignores Leningrad
Why?
>>294814
Because it wasn't firebombed and party elites didn't have any problems with food shortages.
Also evacuation system was actually fairly well done even for USSR and Road of Life helped a lot too.
>>294861
What about Rotterdam?
>>294814
Because people actually fought in Leningrad and not just leveled it like Dresden
>Battle of Dien Bien Phu
What the fuck went wrong?

The Viets managed to bring a lot of heavy artillery and AA guns.
The French fought like cornered beasts but it was hopeless for them.
the french strategy was pretty retarded, the pass was too close to the NVA supply lines and thus it only serced to concentrate not stretch their lines and manpower. Also they literally learned nothing from 5 years of Japanese tactics and russians and how manpower can make anything appear anywhere
>>294812
Did the french really think the Viet Minh could not into artillery? to the point where the french thought they were totally safe on the low ground when there were multiple hills surrounding their position?
Post all things Neolithic.
I'll start with Burial Cultures from Germany and Egypt that perform the same rituals, and also have similar Beakers.
The Egyptian burial was found at Gebel Ramlah.
The German burial was found at Saxony-Anhalt.

Please explain to me the theory of forms. Cuz I don't get it.
Forms are basically ideals that don't exist in our reality. Plato states that our reality is but a shadow of a perfect one, in which Forms are real.
In this reality there are perfect shapes, thoughts, tastes and so on. There the ideal is reality.
We know about this reality through our intuition, because we strive towards these Forms. But at the same time we can't really know or attain Forms in our own reality, because it is imperfect.
>plato
>relevant in 2015
Just read Aristotle and disregard Plato. He was a hack.
So, do rights exist?

God created the earth, he did not create rights.
