Is 4chan the reincarnation of Weimar Germany?

spot on brother
>>1270548
I like the comparison between 4chan and the Holy Roman Empire a lot more. A loose confederation of different states/boards that often despise and fight each other and are only united by name. Reddit would then be France and tumblr would be the ottomans.

who would the British Isles be?
Russia would be some backwards and disgusting website that for some reason has a large userbase, what site could that be?
Why?
Why not?
Take comfort in knowing there was never an answer.
How would it feel being a farmer in Ancient Greece knowing that your hard earned grain was being taken to feed guys sitting around asking stupid questions all day?
People who thought they did the right thing but end up ruined everything.

Hail Zalmoxis, tigane.
Let's talk about ancient Egypt boys.

Okay, sure. Sounds good. You start neckbeard.
decent book

>In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth
>And the Earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Okay, so what this is telling me is that the Earth had no form, yet it was created. So I can only assume that the universes existence at first was like a blank canvas and God drew in everything else, including heaven. And he decided to do it all after an infinite amount of time prior.
This couldn't have happened.

Wasn't really time before time m8

It's just a metaphor, bro.
>>1269677
According to the bible, God is infinite, so he must've had all these morals in his head for quite some time and only then did he decide to create the universe, only to make it so that humans weren't perfect.
If you woke up in your present location in 1913, how would you go about stopping WWI from starting?
I'd just kill Hitler and let the war happen. We learned a valuable lesson from that war and if it didn't happen and technology got to develop even more before the next big war it could've been even more devastating
I'd just go find Lenin and try to use what future knowledge I have to help ignite the world revolution and transform the whole planet into a soviet republic.
I'm in Austria, but I'm French and I don't speak German.
I would have a hard time.
But I think the best way would be to kill some of the leading figures of the right wing of the SPD... Or so I would like to think because I resent them, but after checking, it seems that the reichstag would still have voted for the war if the socialists had voted against.
Then I don't know. I guess I would hide in Switzerland and let it happen. And I would try to kill Stalin before he can wreck the Russian revolution.
That's more important than WWI anyway.
>I and the Father are one.

>Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
"Ye are gods"
what did he mean?
Probably making fun of them because they're casting judgment, which is reserved for God.

>Judgment reserved for God
>In a religion that you have divine commands to set up courts that can and should execute people.
Uh-huh.

He's quoting Psalm 82 and referring to the fact that we are God's children made in His image.
What are the best books on the ancient world?
They must be written in a way that doesn't make me want to claw my eyes out (i.e. not academic text books).
Books on areas other than Ancient Rome/Greece particularly welcome (anyone have any good books on Ancient Asia?).
Why don't you just read the original sources faggot? Start with some basic Tacitus.
Cleomades et Claremonde, aka Le Cheval de Fust.
Let's find out what the real religion of /his/ is.

I was feeling skyrim but went with the crusader one
>the armor
>>1268878
>exactly 14% distribution
What do the options mean?
>the only truly successful Crusades were those directed against the Cathars and the Bogomils
Truly, the best example of the failures that the Crusades were: able to concentrate effort into killing fellow Euros, but unable to hold on the Levant for long enough to leave so much as a significant cultural footprint
What an obscure measurement for success
>>1268889
by what measure of success did the crusades succeed?
>>1268889
>exterminating Cathars and Bogomils such that to this day we will probably never know what they really believed in thanks to Christcuck fanaticism
You don't belong on /his/

It sucks and people fight wars over it.
How did the soviet union manage to have such high birth rates for so long while having women working and free abortion?
And why do post-soviet states have so low birthrates?
Bump for truth

Because even sperm know capitalism fucking sucks and don't want to be born anymore.
Was Caligula truly crazy or was it just a meme, like the meme of Nero burning Rome or the meme of Cesare Borgia being evil and not being a hero?
In many cases, every Emperor had an interest in depicting his immediate predecessor in a bad light.
Caligula was no doubt bad, but not as bad as history makes him out to be. If I recall correctly, he was accused of draining the treasury - yet when Claudius took over he somehow had funds for many great building projects... So we know that's not entirely accurate.
>>1267259
Agreed anon. I think s fair amount of our history of Rome is tinted by people writing slam pieces or propaganda.
Nero wasn't as bad as people think, but he was still bad. Caligula is probably still among the worst, but probably not as insane as people think
If you look at Caligula in the context of Roman political culture (the element that people ignore or are completely ignorant of), then alot of his acts can be seen as the best possible move he could have made at the time. If you want to armchair general him with the privilege of 2000 years of hindsight and impose a 21 century morality on hum then yes, he comes off as insane
