How do you deal with the insignificance of your life?
>inb4 baby's first exist' crisi
The amount of people around the world, the advanced understanding of how people act and think has definitely changed things. There was a time when you were only aware of the lives of the few members of your tribe and not to how alike people are. This realization was not available yet. A person could feel significant, magical, mysterious.
How do we still perceive our lives as significant with contemporary knowledge of history, psychology(etc...)?
>>1156994
Because it's all you're ever going to experience, therefore to maximize your enjoyment of it you ought to realize that it doesn't matter whether you appear significant to other people so long as you enjoy yourself.
>>1156994
You're still significant to the people around you. The prime minister of any country in the world means less to me than any of my friends or family
>>1157019

Yeah, but as you grow older you realize that no matter what you achieve, human life is always flawed, always unequal, always a struggle against others, always full of misunderstandings.
Yes you can ignore it and strive for something and enjoy the people around you but all that is also a struggle that ultimately ends with pain and death and disappointment.
The question is how to restructure the understanding of what it is to be human and what it means...

What's the saddest militia that actually saw battle?
>Units were mostly composed of members of the Hitler Youth, invalids, the elderly, or men who had previously been considered unfit for military service. Further desperation showed when on 12 February 1945, the Nazis conscripted German women and girls into the auxiliaries of the Volkssturm. Correspondingly, girls as young as 14 years began receiving instructions on the use of small-arms, bazookas, machine guns, and hand grenades from December 1944 through May 1945.

Well Chinese WWII guerillas went at Japanese with Spears and swords.
Though to be fair: they had fanatical motivation for it. And it had tactics.

Here's another one, with a better view of the weapons composition in an underarmed Chink guerilla squad. Nationalist ones this time.

Is the theory that Austria was a victim in WW2 justified, because from my knowledge Austrians wanted to join Germany much more than even Hitler could have expected so why is this still pushed in modern analysis of history?
>>1156890
Of course not. As you said Austrians fully supported nazism because of their butthurt caused by not being a great power anymore and saw joining Germany as a way to be relevant again.
>>1156890
that sounds like bullshit, austria got out great after the war considering it was part of germany, the fact it was anexed made it possible to threat it like it was neutral, they were never occupied by soviets, no major battles were fought in austria, they came out unscathed
>>1156890
because it suits everyone to say so.
the point about a scapegoat is that it absolves the rest of the guilty of shame.

>"Between 1968 and 1975, a variety of pegs to gold were put in place, eventually culminating in a sudden end, on August 15, 1971, to the convertibility of dollars to gold later dubbed the Nixon Shock.[...]"
I don't know that much about economics. I know by the time the Nixon Shock was implemented, it was considered a success, but can it still be considered this way today ?
>>1156871
Pegging to gold is a very bad idea. Gold has low supply and you're banking on the prices rising to accomidate modern usage. Banks and businesses spend more dollars than there is gold in the world.
Also it makes it harder to control for business cycles and implement good monetarist policy.
>>1156897
So the Bretton Woods system was definetly a thing of the past and was doomed anyway ?
But isn't the end of Bretton Woods' the reasons of modern day economic crisis ?
I mean any money were worth this much dollar and this much money were worth this much gold. At the end of the chain, there was always something real, something concrete. Now it seems to me that it's the other way around and money's value is only related to what you can buy with it.
Like I said, I don't know...

Hey /his/ I'm so confused here. It was of my understanding that Jews, Muslims and Christians all worshipped the same God, but apparentally not. I'm confused because of the complexity of this god. All three religions agree that God exposed himself to Abraham, thus making all three religions worshipping the same God in different forms.
But then further back then Abraham there were his descendants, there was the ancient civilisations of Sumeria, Babylon, Israel, Aramaia, etc. And these civilisations apparently tie in with all three of these religions. Then I see...

If a God is unchanging, then if people's descriptions of God are different, then it very well could be a different God.
I understand De Jure that all Abrahamic religions worship the same God, but the inherent differences to the actual makeup of whether there's a trinity or his "personality" and goals make me think that yes, these are separate Gods.

Muhammad was actually visited by a false angel of light, it was a demon, a fallen angel of deception. Satan and his workers are great mimickers and Muhammad, deceived, established a demonic cult of Allah (false-God) called Islam (meaning voluntary submission to this false-God, i.e. Satan) which he spread like wildfire by the sword convinced that it was the last revelation of God Almighty.
Islam is none other than Satan's magnum opus, which now has 1.6 billion adherents (23% of the world population) and...

Muhammad was a gluttonous wealthy slave owner, an adulterer, a child-molesting pedophile, a murderer, a liar, he encouraged theft, rape, torture and the list goes on. He was the pawn of Satan and is now in Hell.

Better dynasty
Bourbon or Habsburg?
>>1156738
Habsburg.
>>1156738
Bourbon.
Trastámara or bust
If he wasn't killed by russian anarchists/communists, could he have led the country to the path of constitutional monarchy and prevented the USSR from happening, maybe WWI and WWII entirely?

Most likely Eternal Anglos were masterminds behind terrorist groups of that period.
>>1157271
The anglos wanted russians to send more soldiers to the german meat grinders you imbecil.
>>1157281
At that time Russia and Germany were allies and London was commies nest.
Was the revolt of Spartacus a major thing or it has become famous for its "muh slave rebellion" meme worth?
The name is dope as fuck.
Spartacus. It can't be forgotten. It's impossible.
It was the Hannibal of slave revolts. But it has largely been romantized by later societies for their own gain (like communists).
>>1156590
Yes, the disorder caused by the rebellion was used by Crassus and Pompeii in their initial bids for power, allowing them both to bring their legions into Italy and use them to acquire consulships (Pompeii was too young to be a consul legally, but when you have 4 legions outside of Rome you can get that ignored). Beyond that, it was one of the causes of the Caesarian slave and land reforms. These fundamentally changed the structure of Roman life and the Roman economy
![Domain_changes_during_the_Punic_Wars[1].gif](https://i.imgur.com/K1NMg04.gif "Domain_changes_during_the_Punic_Wars[1].gif")
It's clear that prior to the First Punic War Carthage controlled more land and I presume more resources and population(like Carthage itself was larger than Rome at the time). Is Carthage's ultimate defeat just due to Rome's astonishing military capabilities, superior command and sheer determination? Or it's simply that thalassocracy is vastly less competitive and coherent compared to a proper land empire like Roman Republic?
>>1156344
I think Carthage was in a general decline, it had been going for near 1000 years. It had the problems that the Roman Republic had, lots of corruption, dodgy politics, power plays etc, but Rome busting its balls at the same time it couldn't compete.
>>1156344
Rome had a higher population than Carthage and many more pools to draw soldiers from. Italia was really highly populated. So no, they won because they could take blows.
>>1156349
Hannibal was basically Caesar, and would have restored Carthage if not for Rome forcing him to flee.
I can't see how the Jehovah's Witnesses see themselves as an inspired religion when they have doctrinal changes every year. Back in the 1920s they were Zionist, now they're not. I also don't like that they re-write the Bible to serve their own purposes. (They use their own Bibles, right?)

>Faggotardianity is inspired
>it didn't have doctrinal changes every year or so in the first centuries until it became embarassing and divisive and the emperor had to intervene

Their own Bible destroys their false religion:

Hebrews 1:8-12 and Psalm 102:25-27 are about the attributes of "Jehovah": His Eternity, His Immutability and His Creation of the Heavens and the Earth. Only "Jehovah" has those attributes and since they are explicitly applied to Jesus, in the JW's own Bible, it is undeniable that Jesus is "Jehovah", the Eternal God.
Father = "Jehovah"
Son = "Jehovah"
Holy Spirit = "Jehovah"

fooling plebs into giving him power by using the communism meme
Worldwide revolution.
in the end, having around 45% of humanity live in a communist government of one form or another is a pretty damn good run for it.
Is there an argument for why women should stay home other than tradition? Traditionally and historically women's roles were to take care of the children, but now most have part time jobs at least.

I recently listened to the Hitler - mannerheim conversation and is wonder why isn't this more talked about ? Is there anything we can learn about that conversation? I mean isn't it a pretty big deal tha tthis is the supposedly only clip of Hitler in conversational tone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oET1WaG5sFk
First ever post, so i hope i did this right
Because it has been talked about for many years now - at least 12 judging by the first ten results of a quick google search - and there is little to say. Hitler, to the shock of many, was capable of speaking, yes.
>>1155872
Well listening to it sure changes the picture of Hitler, from the one you get served in school where he is borderline psychopathic, high on drugs and with possible homosexual tendencies.
>>1155893
yea that's kind of what i mean by, if i we can learn something from this audio. Here he seems to think Russia is a legitimate threat with hostile intentions. And sees his invasion of russia as an pre-emptive strike and not just an invasion to exterminate the slavs. Sure he might as well be bulshitting so Mannerheim will help with the attack on russia. But I like to hear different opinions on all of this. I find it very interesting
