Why is the Enlightenment a bad thing again?
It's not. The French Revolution is though.
>Evil science becomes more popular than philosophy and creationism

Pretty much the reason retards on 4chan hate it.

I feel that your view is very americentric. The majority of the philosophes were very much pro-monarchy and were trying to give the king all of the power (huge supporters of an absolute enlightened monarchy) They were pretty much as anti-democracy as they could be. Only the Americans really were republicans. Most of them also were religious to some point, most likely deists.
Which side of the English Civil War are you on?

From what I've read Cromwell wasn't bad until he went full-retard with the invasion of Ireland and the dictatorial policies he enacted.
Can we not use the most radical Roundhead as their standard bearer, most were just constitutional monarchists who weren't regeciderd

>biggest conflict of the Cold War
>all of the major communist nations were limited to support roles
>Soviets only had 3,000 people in Vietnam and never even admitted to it publicly
>Cuba has never acknowledged having personnel in Vietnam
>even China had nobody on the frontlines
>meanwhile the United States sent 536,100 Americans to fight the whole goddamn war
Why didn't the commies care? The United States threw everything they had at this war and the Red Menace mostly watched from the sidelines. Was this not the most important manifestations of the conflict that underscored the entirety of global affairs from WWII up until 1991? Why the disparity?
Ho Chi Mihn had his shit together.
>>1159808
maybe because the communists were a bit less unified than the western forces?
this was post-sino-soviet split, right?
>>1159808
Because only on 4chan is it normal to see someone being stupid, and try to one up them by being stupider.
Do we still live in a just-world?
Germans pls leave.
>>1159679
Anything one man finds just, the other will find unjust.
Just learn to live with the inevitability of conflict without a true moral high ground separating the conflicting entities. The world's a much better place that way.

What do non-Muslims think of Mohammed? Was he a prophet who spread his genuine faith by the sword, or a charlatan who invented a religion to become king, and found enough followers to go out a-conquering?
>>1159253
faggot who ruined persia

>Was he a prophet who spread his genuine faith by the sword,
That would make them Muslims, right?
He was a heretical Nestorian preacher probably, who used his charisma and martial prowess to carve out a huge empire. Pretty impressive tee bee aych, but in the West we don't really see any religious significance to him as far as our own faiths are concerned. Still, a pretty badass guy who knew how to get things done and win people's hearts and minds over.
Tl;Dr we see him more as a statesman and a military commander than as a prophet
Post your pics of ancient history
