Rebuilding a new Roman Empire - was it reasonable in the political landscape of the 20th century? Could he have pulled it off had the Axis pulled it off and won the war, or would Hitler had turned on him the moment the war was over?
>>1348052
Italy alone could do shit,military speaking.Spain would be nigh impossible to conquer by Italy,and he failed horribly in Greece.
Hitler wasnt that retarded
a majority of the ideological garbage he spewed was propaganda to garner support for his cause
he simply wanted to balkanize and colonize parts of russia, the notion that he literally believed the aryans should take over le world is stupid
>>1348077
Wrong thread retard.
Why is Romania historically so poor? They've had oil money for quite a long time
> join allies in ww1
> gets absolutely assblasted
> gains clay nonethless
> goes fascist and join axis in ww2
why is this allowed
They're richer per capita than 4/5 countries they border. They are former eastern bloc. They had a crazy dictator.
All in all, not that poor considering circumstances?
>>1347949
>They are former eastern bloc
This isn't an excuse. The Baltic countries were fucked by Russians for centuries and are still highly developed
When and why did 'free trade' become a word with only positive connotations and something that always should be sought after?
Is it just the word "free"? What if we called it uncontrolled trade or something along those lines?
>>1347391
when people realized it brought prosperity
>>1347398
Except that that isn't true. Every time someone has tried fully neoliberal policies, it has ended up with more suffering than prosperity.
Most countries on earth practice protectionism to some extent.

What are the most based and practical, useful philosophies?
Economics, statistical analysis, computer science, physics, anything that's not fundamental science, really.
>>1347136
but are those philosophies or rather sciences or technique?
I mean, yeah, numbers are pretty based but does it count as a way of thinking?
Stoicism, the Traditionalist school, Kierkegaard, Buddhist praxis
Has psychoanalysis any scientific basis? It seems that Freud and Jung just keep speculating the reasons behind problems without any real proof. Why bother with them?
This is exactly why there are no practicing Freudian psychoanalysts today.
The cognitive behavioral model dominates these days.
>>1347109
Why bother reading them except for historical interest?
>>1347119
Nobody does.
The position you're arguing for is the position that essentially everyone in psychology holds.
I nedd help guys, since I can remember I was never able to choose on point of view in essential questions and feel related to a certain group of people. For example I dislike nationalsocialism but also hate blacklivesmatter activists and feminaziscum. I hate people because the are boring and superficial but still I have a huge amount of friends wich I see atleast twice a weekend. I hate music in clubs and stuff but i still go there every weekend and get drunk. I am pro refugees and helping them but on the other hand i know that the crimerate is higher referring to immigrants. The only thing I was able to settle on is that religion is bullshit and still I hate the most atheist-fedora-vaping scum. Why is my head so fucked? Any similar experiences from older anons i am 20 btw.

Have you considered remaining depolarised? Be a player, not a pawn.
You won't find any real sense of meaning or purpose by attaching yourself to some political movement anyway.
Nevermind whether it exists, what does free will even mean as a concept?
First prove to me that free-will doesn't exist without the use of retrospect.
>>1346667
blegh forgot to add to this will sage.
Free-will is a strange thing. Due to the finite existence we live there cannot truly be free-will, at least our concept of it. But we are still able to pick and choose from the variables given to us at any given time - although given enough time the same exact variables will repeat itself.
I look at it as a way of bringing dynamics to the universe, the universe would be an awful boring place without these beings that have free-will. Not that that matters to anything at all anyway.
It would mean that consciousness influences the physical world.

Why do some "radical traditionalists" complain about urbanization and blame it on Modernity?
Urbanization has been a problem since neolithic times.
>>1346553
Because they're autistic and have only the shallowest of knowledge about real history.
Urbanisation IS a problem. Cities encourage decadence and inhuman treatment of your fellow man.
Look at this happy little farmer, imagine if everyone lived a perfect agrarian life, wouldn't that be amazing?

Yeah, I too hate specialists like surgeons, physicists, architects, engineers and such.
I wish we could all just grow grass and sleep under trees.

Can this people claim the heritage of the ancient macedonians? Whats going on here?
WE WUZ KANGS: the country
>>1346482
Nope. The ancient Macedonians were Greek.They should change their fucking name. Basically they're random yugoslavs who were conquered by other countries like Serbia and Bulgaria. After WW2 they were born as a country as a part of Yugoslavia. Tito separated them from Serbia named them Macedonians.

How do Christians reconcile the fact that there is not one mention of demons or Devils in the Old Testament? Demon possession is arguably one of the main focuses of the gospels yet no character from OT ever is mentioned to be possessed. Satan in the OT is not at all like in the NT. He is pure evil and waiting to devour you. Yet in book of job he is mentioned only a couple times and can only do what God orders him. The New Testament also deities Satan many times calling him the "god of this world" and "prince and power of the air". This makes absolutely no sense and really makes me wonder how much pagans influenced the NT. Also if your demon possessed, how can you be responsible for your sins? The demons are the ones commiting them not you. Is demons/Satan all meant to be metaphorical? I ask because many Christians actually believe in casting out demons. Anyone well versed in the bible care to share some insight?

Mind you the OT was pretty nebulous at the time the NT was composed. NT writers may well have had texts or traditions that included it. Certainly they believed they were encountering in the flesh.
>Also if your demon possessed, how can you be responsible for your sins? The demons are the ones commiting them not you.
There's a logic to your logic, but I'm pretty sure the thinking is you become possessed in the first place by giving in to sin.
> Is demons/Satan all meant to be metaphorical?
Doesn't seem like it.
>>1346412
Idk man. I can't say for sure that God exists. Humanity just needs religion. Not all humans need religion to be nice people. But many do. If there really is no God than no matter what we do is pointless. So if having faith brings you hope and makes you be a better person to other than by all means. If you can do that without a god then that's fine too. But many uneducated people can't so we shouldn't introduce them to the concept that there actually is no being holding them accountable for their actions. Human beings are Inherently flawed, we will never be perfect. Many of us need something to look up to. And that's what religion provides.

Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

What does /his/ think of this movie?
Long.
Never heard of it
Glamorization and fantastic elements aside, it's a very good movie. Not as good at the John Wayne version, but still very good.
