people in the past were more like us than we want to believe
Pretty much everyone agrees Wellington is just a second-rate, inferior Marlborough, right?

I bet you're family is proud
What's the name of an ideology that argues the ideal society is one where the authority of government belongs to every paterfamilias, and that culture should go back to being largely based on kin and kith?
I came to this conclusion independently when I realized every problem in the world can ultimately be attributed to the decay of the family. What other thinks have contributed to this sort of line of thought?

/his/ I have a question about my ancestors.
A few years back my grandmother had one of those ancestry DNA tests to see where your ancestors are from. Her parents were from Wales so I guess she was expecting them to have all been from the British Isles or Western Europe. According to the test however she had family in North Africa (I'm pretty sure it was modern day Libya) that ended up migrating to the Britain at the end of the Roman Empire. So my question is was there any reasonably large migration of North Africans to Britain around this time? If not for what reasons...

There would have been some soldiers stationed at Hadrian's wall and elsewhere. Some of these were from all over the Empire.

he is the most important scholar (except maybe muhammad ibn abd al-wahhab) for today's salafi-jihadis who are ruining islam and the entire world and his works provide ideological justifications for the atrocities of ISIS and other such groups.

Of course not.
It looks just like the contemporary paintings we have of Jesus.
Realistically we'll probably never know
I like how they projected modesty by strategically placing the hands. Now we will never know if Jesus was a plus-size model.
Joking aside, calm down. We may not be able to explain how it was made yet, but how would a shroud wrapping a body make a projection on a plane.
Does anyone else, when reading about the English Civil War, get the ISIS vibe from the Roundhead iconoclasm? They ransacked houses looking for all religious images and burning them, they literally shot up statues with guns, they smashed stained windows, they burned all crosses they could find, they sliced up all religious paintings, they made alters into roads, shit was insane.
They also just seemed crazy in general
>The Harleys made sure the vicar of their local church at Brampton was of their kind. At the end of the 1630's a man called Stanley Gower was the incumbent; on arrival in 1634 he had set about overlooking those regulations of the Laudian Church offensive to the godly. He wouldn't let his parishioners stand during the Gospel, nor bow at the name of Jesus; he left the absolution out of the prayer book's service, he refused to rail the alter, still treating it as a movable communion table, and he told his congregation not to kneel in prayer and not to remove their hats.
Protestants were basically the Christian Wahhabis of their day, yeah.

Of all the heroes involved with the Trojan war he was pretty much the one who did the least bad shit.
There is some irony in the fact that troy's best fighter was a peace loving stoic man who just wanted to defend his home. He was bound by family duty to defend his brother despite what a douche he was.
Under any other circumstances he would have probably been good friends with Achillies.

>Under any other circumstances he would have probably been good friends with Achilles
doubt it. Achilles was such a sublime egomaniac that he didn't and couldn't really have friends, just followers or enemies.

Die, you bastard
Why was Aztec religion so fucking nightmarish?
We all have our war gods and gruesome stories but gods that are threatening to destroy the world unless you constantly feed them rivers of blood is horrific.
How do you even maintain a society built on such a ghoulish spiritual foundation?
And they're still like that, the murder rates in Mexico and central America (a side question, why isn't Mexico considered central America?) are through the roof, the cartels use chainsaws and razor wire as execution tools and even after they converted to catholicism they had to come up with macabre shit like Santa Muerte. Those retards literally worship the grim reaper.
Their stone age level of development combined with their high population, just imagine human sacrifice proto-juadism and germanicism with china's population levels
Why do they hate eachother?
Continental vs. analytic.
Masculine Slav vs effeminate spoiled Jew
fat slob vs. snobby intellectual
How long have militaries been profane with drill instructors yelling fuck you to every private and calling them all maggots and ladies and making everyone run 20 miles for 1 guys fuck up and stuff? Were militaries in like the 19th century like this? Basically how long has military hazing been around

>Were militaries in like the 19th century like this?
They were worse.
Your shock at this type of training is unfounded. Everything a DI does is based on a long line of psychological research.

Ever since we needed "Drill" in armies so about 17th century when firearm tactics really took off. Drill came about because you had to drill people in the motions of reloading a musket so that they could do it blind from muscle memory while under intense stress. Reloading a Musket isn't difficult but there are numerous steps and its important a soldier can do it without fail as fast as possible. Eventually drill extended even further when of course getting into formation very quickly because very important...

This from top of my head, so I may be wrong. Prussians were the first one who institutionalized en masse army as we know it. As a side effect, we also got public schools from them.
Daily reminder that the Buddha is superior in every way to YHWH and/or Jesus, as one of the epiphets of the Shakyamuni was the 'teacher of gods and men'.
YHWH/Jesus is merely a deluded deva that was reborn in the realms of bliss at the beginning of the kalpa and erroneously concluded it had created the Universe and all beings in it once other sentient life-forms began to appear in the world. He is impermanent and far from perfect, still subject to attachments and vices such as pride. vanity, arrogance, and will one day die and, having exhausted his good karma,...

Christ has Buddha nature, as does everything.
Yhwh of Old Testament is redeemed by the Enlightenment spread by Christ which isn't seperate from Buddha, Krsna, or Mahavatar Babaji.
Your holding past actions of Yhwh against Him, which is opposite to what Christ and Buddha teach.
Buddha wouldn't claim to be superior to any God or deva. In fact Christ says "my father and I are one" and his hopes is that we also dwell in...

>Buddha wouldn't claim to be superior to any God or deva
Buddha demonstrated that he was superior to the devas and gods. Not in a display of arrogance, but to convince them of their own impermanence and so they would strive to practice the dharma.

Just because you can have clairvoyance and "omnipotence" does not make you superior or inferior. Gautama Buddha IS Krsna and it is known well in the Srimad Bhagavatam by Vaisnavas.
Tell me about Irish Neutrality and Ireland in WW2, /his/.
I'm curious as to their motivations for staying clear of WW2, as well as the attitudes toward them from some of the larger belligerents.
I'd also like to know about De Valera-how competent/incompetent he was at the head of Ireland, and how he was seen by other leaders.
>>1424781
Honestly who cares what Ireland did in WW2? Either side did fine without the 200 drunk dudes Ireland could provide.
>>142483
You will always be a dirty stinking uneducated Faggot ..And the irish that did fight in both wars will remain ...
Also curious of any other nations that took a notably "neutral" stance.

People are interested in lots of things. This interests me. Thanks for the bump, faggot.
