You drive into a rural township, there are townies and farmers and small businessmen. Are they peasants?
And I don't mean peasant in a derogatory sense.
>>1421857
You're not a peasant if you own land. But really we're not living in a feudal system so the distinction is meaningless.
>>1421857
Lot's of things defined one's class such as clothing, lineage, occupation and property. what exactly made someone a "peasant" could differ in different cultures.
>>1421978
essentially this. Although heir were exceptions for people such as caravan merchants and some members of the royal palace. In the same sense, you could own a parsle of land on the very edge of a city state making just enough to get by and still be considered a peasant.
>townies
Please elaborate on this.
>farmers
As in farm owners, or field hands and the like?
>small businessmen
Usually this is a trial-by-trial basis sort of thing, but generally, business owners are middle-class
Did japanese medieval peasantry really have no personal names? Or did I get meme'd by Shogun
I can't tell if James Clavell was grossly misrepresenting the culture or not
>>1421772
From what I know landless bondsmen did not have a surname. landowners, samurai or not would have had one
They had no family names and retarded personal names that essentially meant "Son n°1", "Son n°2" etc while the aristocrats had poetic and elaborate naming schemes much like in China.
Do Arab Muslims today still hate black people?
If they came to America, would they form an Arab KKK?
Muslims who come here ((Sweden)) throw black people off bridges so they probably would.

Why is this board so anti slavic? All I always read is slavshit this, slavshit that and the only justification so far is muh Russia as if it was the only slav country or as if Russians chose to be sent to gulags by Stalin.
Wouldn't surprise me if most of the anti slav hate that don't specifically get aimed against slavs coke from other slavs desu.
Because they're a cancer on humanity.

Sorry but The 20th century was unique in its utter rejection of Religion. Religion is coming back strong and reforming Islam to be peacful is up to muslims themsleves unfortunately.
We must instead of being fedoar fags reintegrate Christianity on a state level again but this time with all our academic knowledge.
We have to take religion seriously and through the government make sure critical and self critical knowledge of it is dissaminated through our society. Religion has a power to unite and make us feel part of a long lineage of people and ideas and myths.
Because Turkey isn't as successful as it initially was and now people turn to faith to feel better about themselves.

Is this book any good? I hear that the author is a pretty famous medievalist.
I prefer this one.

Is existence a predicate?
If not, is the Kantian noumenal world - which we can no nothing of beyond its existence - simply superfluous metaphysics? Has Kant made a really substantial advance on the Cartesian position?
>>1420969
go to askphilosophy in reddit, they might help you.
this is the worst place in the internet for asking about kant
>>1420969
How do we know of the noumenal world exists?
The confusion comes because Kant says existence is not a "*real* predicate." Obviously in the statement "God exists," existence is a quality that modifies the subject, i.e., a predicate. I don't know how it is in German but our manner of speaking in English means we treat 'existence' the word like a predicate.
But the real question has become almost meaningless from a post-Modern perspective. Existence not being a "real predicate" means that to exist is not a positive quality of some object but is a pre-condition of that object in some 'pure' ontology, which we have no real reason to believe in.

Is the ego a mental plague?
No, needs of the self just need to be balanced out by needs of others. We also need to start realizing that the idea that people act solely by rational self interest, which is currently pushed heavily by our political and economic elites, is at best incomplete and at worst completely wrong
>>1420933
Das Ego is but a mental description of your physiological state and biological imperative to survive as transcribed into your phenomenological states.
As such it is necessary for psychological survival, as it is what wills you to eat, to help yourself. Without it you would wither into a little bitch.
A parasite maybe? One that attaches itself to a human host to feed off its emotions and self-indulgence, but is incapable of living independently of a host.
I want to detach myself mentally from the shackles that are human nature. I think if one is able to intellectually make sense of it all, their conscious may overcome their subconscious.
It is untenable that humans are conscious organisms ingrained with the biological imperative of having to spread their genes and continue their tribe (in-group, or faction or whatever) the same way all organisms on this planet function. Of course, complex psychological factors come into play and translate these otherwise basic concepts into complex, and sometimes, misguided manifestations. A 'normal' model for the biological human would be to have as many children as possible in an environment that fosters them until they themselves are capable of simulating the organismic process of genetic and tribal perpetuation themselves, adulthood. Human psychology, as incurred by the various environmental factors that afflict various parts of the world and different sorts of people differently, has resulted in some people wanting one child, while others, having several, and for different, partially incorrect reasons. Some tribes (another problem, as I'll mention later, is the coherency of the idea of the 'tribe), such as the People's Republic of China, has collectively decided the best way to perpetuate their tribal existence is through limiting the amount of offspring any given mating couple could have (the former one child policy, now two child policy). Some tribes have their alpha members recognise problems of their tribal perpetuation's method - India and its' highest level of politicians recognising the problem that is their uncontrollable population.
I believe the reason nihilists and antinatalists often seem so unhealthy and are susceptible to a change of mind is because they have not truly extinguished their tribal warrior spirit or their organismic incentive to spread genes. I want to purge these primordial feelings out of me

The problem that arises is firstly, the coherency of the idea of a tribe. The proverbial 'tribe' that psychologists so often use consists of an easily identifiable group of people with the easily discernible mutual interest of their perpetuation. The 'modern' tribe is up to the tribesman's interpretation - some consider 'nations' their tribes, some don't extend tribal status beyond their family, some are in a venn diagram of many tribes of varying precedents in priority. The problem I see with some tribal identifications is that they're patently wrong and the 'tribesmen' themselves know it, which in turn causes cognitive dissonance and inhibition from performing properly in society. Such examples of misdesignations can include excessive dogma towards a certain political ideology (notice how all diehard anarcho-capitalists are never actually financially successful), towards an ethnic group (whites; for example - there is no 'white' tribe because there are many competing political (tribal) factions that are white, and it is also historically so. There is no 'white' tribal leader. Some white 'tribesmen' see others as the nemesis - white Americans and white Russians. The other problem is all of these people all have different associations and different ideas - varying to such extreme extents 'micro-tribes' are found as to how issues should be addressed. The English and Scottish loathed each other only a few hundred years ago; some would not be able to comprehend the fact their tribes 'merged (federalised)').

Modern allies that are seemingly tied by cultural heritage were heads against each other not so long ago. The idea of a 'Chinese' state only came when too many opposing tribes came in - before, the idea of 'China' was just 'all that was under heaven', and China would fall into many tribes - kingdoms with people that had no scruples about murdering, raping and torturing that of other kingdoms; yet now most provinces want to 'make China great again' - but what if China dissolves into something larger, or balkanises into many tribes in future? Is it biologically coherent for a Chinese man to think that he is 'perpetuating his tribe' if his descendants will be in many tribes that are varying from one another and have no relation to the idea that is 'China'?
Also, I'm not making this post because I hate children or hate nationalism or whatever. Quite frankly the opposite. I both love (and want) children, and I'm nationalist and an ethnonationalist, but I realise the incoherency and redundancy ultimately of all these inclinations and partisanships
