Let's get a /his/ meme thread going.
OC is welcome.
Seleucid memes best memes
ITT: countries that should not exist
Why has Islam failed to modernize unlike Christianity or Judaism?
No usury. Can't have a capitalist economy without usury.
it's not precisely islam that failed to modernize, it's that every secular muslim leader in the middle east has a funny way of getting bumped off by the US.
Religion is intimately connected with the host society.
Arab society is still shit.
Blame constant ethnic bullshit, the Cold War, and the Ottomans.
Let's talk about god and it's powers
It is strongly believed that God is all powerful, that it created world and can control it.
In many religions it is said that god created man in his likeness.
Today or at least in near future we are/will be capable of creating "life" similar to us, which will be much superior to us. Even today A.I research shows that it is much faster, stronger and plainly better that average human.
What if god created us just like this. What if man is much better than it's creator
Who cares.
We don't need technology to do that. Your mother and father should be God to you since they created you from just a tiny cell.
Before the first human were monkeys. So humans as a species/group has a Monkey God.

(YOU)!
What are some of the worst choices in history? I'll start.
>US fighting Germany, rather than allying with them
>The entente allowing Germany to exist after world war 1
> let's just declare war on the entire world
Not /his/ but I'm pretty sure there's a series of alternate history fiction written by Harry Turtledove where the US loses 2 civil wars and allies with the German Empire for World War 1 and becomes a superpower with Germany by WW2 IIRC
How come people say Nietzsche is nihilist?
Anyone who is not retarded and actually read one fucking book of his knows he is against it.
>>1278048
Huh
Someone who got it
He sayed himself that his words arent for every ear
Nietzche is a nihilist in the same way that an atheist can still wish there was a god.
>>1278078
Bad example. Every atheist can wish for a god
Why was Russia historically so expansionist?
Once it was conquered, no one else bother to dismantle it due to shitty weather conditions
>>1281182
>Large as fuck territory even for Russia proper (roughly Ivan III's Muscovy)
>No national identity existing per se. It's got a lot in common with Habsburg empire as Austrian identity didn't coherently exist among actual Austrians at all, though it's not as extreme as there
>Collectivism that stems from large but hostile territory with terrible climate
>Places to expand to
>Ideas to legitimize the expansion in their own eyes
>>1281189
It's not that shitty in the Russian core and it's possible to dismantle it easily. Muscovy goes alone, North goes alone, Volga-Kama region goes alone. There, it's done.

>No national identity existing per se. It's got a lot in common with Habsburg empire as Austrian identity didn't coherently exist among actual Austrians at all, though it's not as extreme as there
When did the Russian identity come into being? What did they think of themselves (excluding Poles and other non-"Russia" ethnicities) as?
hello boys

>Vasily Mikhailovich Blokhin (Russian: Bacи́лий Mихáйлoвич Блoхи́н, 7 January 1895 – 3 February 1955) was a Soviet Russian Major-General who served as the chief executioner of the Stalinist NKVD under the administrations of Genrikh Yagoda, Nikolai Yezhov, and Lavrentiy Beria.
>Hand-picked for the position by Joseph Stalin in 1926, Blokhin led a company of executioners that performed and supervised numerous mass executions during Stalin's reign, mostly during the Great Purge and World War II.[2] He is recorded as having executed tens of thousands of prisoners by his own hand, including his killing of about 7,000 Polish prisoners of war during the Katyn massacre in spring 1940,[2][3] making him the most prolific official executioner and mass murderer in recorded world history.[2][4] Forced into retirement following the death of Stalin, Blokhin died in 1955, officially by suicide.
The assassination of Franz Ferdinand and the month before WWI.

Obviously the mad Baron. The dude ate his medals to prevent the soviets getting them.
Did he do anything wrong?
Besides for allying with Hitler
>>1264749
thinking he could play with the big boys
His agricultural policies were full retard and served as nothing more than propaganda (and didn't even work in that regard either)
>>1264749
Be retarded.
So /his/ what is your thoughts and opinions on the Armenian Genocide?
To call it a genocide is a bit of a stretch. It was just an organized mass killing of people from the same ethnicity.
>>1264743
This desu, it was a deluxe-targeted-mass-ethno-homicide, hold the mayo.
>>1264721
It was not a genocide, it was just the mass-killing of an ethnic group.
>One man gets a rifle, the other gets ammo. When the man with rifle dies, pick it up and fight for the motherland!
Now where in hell did this deliciously tasty meme come from? The Soviets had more than enough rifles to arm everyone.
>>1260478
Makes things more dramatic.
>>1260478
WW1, IIRC, where the Russians did have endemic problems supplying basics, even small arms, to everyone.
>>1260478
Not to mention the image of a commissar blowing the head off anyone who didn't follow orders.'
I think it's anti-soviet drivel that spouted up during the cold war and has since been accepted as fact by the west over time.
Why are modern landscapes so tasteless? We used to have our cities be literal works of art, now they're faceless blocks with logo's.. And our suburbs are literal boxes for people.

Efficiency and expediency.
Celsus writings record that Jesus was fathered by a Roman soldier called Panthera.
So why do Christians believe that Jesus ben Panthera was fathered in pic related way?

>Quoting 'prophecies' from the non prophetic parts of the Tanakh.
I'm sure there's something else Christians do that demonstrates their total lack of understanding the scripture they supposedly fulfill, but I'm having trouble thinking of it.
>>1276974
Another one which isn't on the website which I can think of is the clear link between the appearance of the dove holding the olive branch in Genesis 8:11 which symbolizes a new beginning for mankind following the subsiding of the waters after the Flood and the dove identified as the Holy Spirit in the Gospels which descended on Jesus Christ following His baptism. But since that's from a "non prophetic part of the Tanakh" I should just ignore it all, huh? All Scripture is breathed out by God (2Tim3:16-17) therefore every single passage is revelant including those which you deem irrelevant.
The reason why promiscuity is bad is this: when a woman is promiscuous she gains a reputation for being such. Men view her as promiscuous and begin to desire her sexually (if she is attractive or known for being good in bed). Thus, she has degraded herself and turned herself into a sexual object because now men primarily view her sexually; she is an object of their sexual desire and primarily a means of fulfilling their lusts. This not the men's fault since they are naturally inclined to have shallow lustful desires. Essentially, promiscuity serves as a marker of a sexual object for men looking for quick or easy gratification.
When a man is promiscuous he degrades himself to a slave to his sexual desires. Rather than pursuing meaningful endeavours, he devotes his time to chasing women and turns himself into a sexual animal. This also applies for women.
This is not to say that all sex is bad but sex outside of meaningful relationships is by nature self-degrading and animalistic. Some people might retort by saying that there is nothing wrong with giving in to our animalistic desires but this is not true because a hallmark of humanity and human civilisation is rising above animal desires, showing self-restraint and preferring more meaningful pursuits instead. For more "practical" minded people, promiscuity is bad because it is a waste of time and energy; all that effort and time could have been spent working, enjoying art, or doing something meaningful and useful.
Thoughts? Critiques of this argument?

>virgin trying to justify his virginity
Women get pregnant when they have sex.
>>1280875
Also this. You get teenage mothers, fatherless children, shotgun weddings, and abortions as a result of sex but contraception is eliminating this threat, although not everyone uses it.
>>1280874
tl;dr: promiscuity is a degrading waste of time and sex should be reserved for meaningful relationships
