Is the culture of Britain predominantly Saxon or Briton?
>>1291409
Culturally? Norman.
Ethnically Briton with a large Saxon minority.
>>1291409
Saxon. If they were Briton they would be Catholic like the Irish and would not be speaking English.
>>1291409
What language are we speaking?
Tell me your issue with this book, /his/

It's a book for edgy teens and autists written by a deviant hypocrite.

Fucking love this episode.
Long. Boring. Worthless as a novel.
Can anyone tell me how old this coin is? It looks pretty old and I can only guess it's Roman or Greek or maybe Byzantine. I really have no idea.
This is the back side. It looks like it says "Tcarisus" or something.
>>1291133
Nevermind I found out it's a Roman T Carisius Denarius coin of Juno Moneta from 46 BC.
>>1291133
I think it's a Roman T Carisius Denarius coin of Juno Moneta from 46 BC.

How can one man be so based?
There aren't many besides Marx himself who can cause such reactionary butthurt.
>>1290989
Not red enough! Make it eviler!
>>1290989
Literally who?
>>1290989
nowadays, his ideas are bound to be a lot more useful to those same reactionaries than anyone in the left, funnily enough
The fall of the Ottoman Empire was a mistake
>>1290661
There are two major theories
>Demise theory
This theory is that the Ottoman Empire was at its prime up until WW 1 and was cut down after its defeat in WW 1 and subsequent division and breaking up.
>Decline theory
This theory is based around the concept that the Sultanate had slowly eroding power and because of it's halt on serious expansionism after the 1600's (whether stopped by outside forces or inside forces). The empire started to Stagnate and erode from Economic to Political power with in its boundaries.
Some minor theories are also present.
Here's the unedited version
Can't help but wonder how the middle east would've turned out if the ottoman empire hadn't been gutted.

What lead to the circumstance, that French was the lingua franca of the european nobility?
Pic semi related.
>>1290492
I thought that French was only for the French and upper class English who were descendents from Norman conquerors.

What stopped the US from conquering other nations? Why didnt the US simply conquer Western Europe after WW2?
What about the guiding ideas and ideals of the US Prevented this from happening?
Or is it because Europe was connected through many means of communication to the US and thus European discourse and people were already integrated within The world view of Americans? Meaning that what matters for non aggression is the ability of the citizenry of both sides to have many valid communication routes?
>>1290373
I guess you can say Us bases is sort of a conquest but its not really. There is and was no unified government with the US at its top..
>>1290373
Because that's stupid you fucking moron
>>1290373
The US' entire argument against Soviet dominance in Eastern Europe was grounded on the principle of national self-determination. They couldn't just annex Western Europe on a whim, even if they had the means to do it (which they didn't).
What is a brain in a vat supposed to do when he realizes he's a brain in a vat?
Is there even anything he can do?
>>1290279
On Twin Earth, a brain in a vat is at the wheel of a runaway trolley. There are only two options that the brain can take: the right side of the fork in the track or the left side of the fork. There is no way in sight of derailing or stopping the trolley and the brain is aware of this, for the brain knows trolleys. The brain is causally hooked up to the trolley such that the brain can determine the course which the trolley will take.
On the right side of the track there is a single railroad worker, Jones, who will definitely be killed if the brain steers the trolley to the right. If the railman on the right lives, he will go on to kill five men for the sake of killing them, but in doing so will inadvertently save the lives of thirty orphans (one of the five men he will kill is planning to destroy a bridge that the orphans' bus will be crossing later that night). One of the orphans that will be killed would have grown up to become a tyrant who would make good utilitarian men do bad things. Another of the orphans would grow up to become G.E.M. Anscombe, while a third would invent the pop-top can.
If the brain in the vat chooses the left side of the track, the trolley will definitely hit and kill a railman on the left side of the track, "Leftie" and will hit and destroy ten beating hearts on the track that could (and would) have been transplanted into ten patients in the local hospital that will die without donor hearts. These are the only hearts available, and the brain is aware of this, for the brain knows hearts. If the railman on the left side of the track lives, he too will kill five men, in fact the same five that the railman on the right would kill. However, "Leftie" will kill the five as an unintended consequence of saving ten men: he will inadvertently kill the five men rushing the ten hearts to the local hospital for transplantation. A further result of "Leftie's" act would be that the busload of orphans will be spared. Among the five men killed by "Leftie" are both the man responsible for putting the brain at the controls of the trolley, and the author of this example. If the ten hearts and "Leftie" are killed by the trolley, the ten prospective heart-transplant patients will die and their kidneys will be used to save the lives of twenty kidney-transplant patients, one of whom will grow up to cure cancer, and one of whom will grow up to be Hitler. There are other kidneys and dialysis machines available, however the brain does not know kidneys, and this is not a factor.
Assume that the brain's choice, whatever it turns out to be, will serve as an example to other brains-in-vats and so the effects of his decision will be amplified. Also assume that if the brain chooses the right side of the fork, an unjust war free of war crimes will ensue, while if the brain chooses the left fork, a just war fraught with war crimes will result. Furthermore, there is an intermittently active Cartesian demon deceiving the brain in such a manner that the brain is never sure if it is being deceived.
QUESTION: What should the brain do?
What do you do? You're a brain in a jar. Just you have a real body around the jar instead of an imaginary one.

Truth
>>1289946
Little of column A, little of column B.
They usually win, but they also usually take a bruising in doing so.
>>1289946
It's somewhat true. If China does win a battle or conflict at least a 100,000 peasants are going to die.
>Tfw you love debating ideas and philosophy but are too fucking lazy to read every fucking philosophy book so you cant name the fucking Greek who first expressed the shit idea you want to express in the current debate
>Tfw the only board in 4chin to discuss philosophy loves to literally just namedrop philosophy authors as a way of discussion, they don't even express ideas they just "Platon" "Oh yes? HAHA SOCRATES!!, answer to this you bitch nigga" so can't participate
I just end up going to any other boards and start philosophy discussion as responses to random posts and have 15 min discussion until the other person realizes what im doing and stops posting
Anybody else here in the same situation?
>>1289937
You don't discuss philosophy.
>>1289943
I see your point, i discuss what philosophy discusses, still you are just jacking off to your encylopedic knowledge instead of engaging in discussion

How important was the occult in terms of the Third Reich?
>>1289807
Not at all, Wolfenstein is not a WW2 documentary. Himmler was into that sort of thing but very few people supported him.
>>1289820
To be fair though, Hitler was into the occult himself apparently. Wasn't the inner circle of the NSDAP basically the same as in the Thule-Society?
The Thule Society (1918) does predate Hitler's political action (1919-onwards).
Before the Thule Society was, I would recommend looking up Ariosophy and Madam Blavatsky as occult precursors of race theory and believers of quite the insane shit:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariosophy
On a somewhat more political, practical side, the Völkisch movement has earlier roots still, all the way back into the 19th Century
The Mein Kampf is dedicated to Dietrich Eckart, who was involved in the Thule Society even if not fully a member.
The thing is, even if Hitler was precociously identified by the Thule Society as a German messianic figure, the very one they were waiting for, Hitler is less the sorcerer certain moviemakers would like you to think, and more of a practical man with little patience for paganism and mysticism. The so-called Positive Christianity would have been ideal for Hitler, as opposed to start over.
The Thule Society dissolved before 1930, but the various figures mentioned so far in the thread (Evola, Savitri Devi, Himmler) would continue.
Himmler and others founded the Ahnenerbe in 1935, which did all manner of crazy archaeological expeditions driven by that man's obsession with occultism and race, which include the expedition to Tibet. Hitler was well aware of the funding the institute received.
Evola and Savitri Devi kept writing long after WW2.
The Occult Roots of Nazism by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke connects the dots all the way to 1935
