Most underrated Flemish artist IMO.
As I understand, many of the atrocities committed to Jews and other 'untermenschen' were only discovered following the liberation of Europe in 1945 but presumably some amount of the anti-Semitic rhetoric would have leaked out of Germany through the work of foreign correspondents in Germany in the early 1930s.
I have been taught that anti-Semitic propaganda and public attitudes in Germany were temporarily brushed under the rug during the 1936 Olympic Games to disguise the increasing persecution of Jewish people, what kind of measures would be taken to ensure foreign press couldn't unmask the facade?
My main question is how widely the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany was reported in foreign countries? It seems unfeasible that an event on the scale of Kristallnacht could be successfully suppressed from the view of the world media.
>>1139138
There were many Jewish people running away from Nazi Germany before and during the war.
>>1139138
Several concentration camp escapees attempted to tell the world about what was going on in Germany. but none of them were believed until the camps themselves were found.
>>1139138
everyone knew the Nazi's were persecuting Jews. Not many people cared.
Slavery was legal in the United States a mere 68 years before the Nazi's gained control of Germany. Famine was still a real thing. Japan was btfo Manchuria. Life was a little tougher.
Also, the Jews have used the event to shape their entire national identity. This means any meaningful discussion on the matter that doesn't expand on the idea that Jews are the-all time biggest victims, who have been picked on for no reason whatsoever, means you're anti-Semitic. It fucks things up.

If you prefer Christian or other life-negating morals over Nietzschean life affirmation then you're an objectively inferior person.
Also Goethe and his conversations with Eckermann are the best work in German.

What can you tell me about the olmecs?
what's the general concensus here about them?
They were among the early cultures of Mesoamérica, perhaps not the 'mother culture', but they had contemporaries who were on par with them like the Zapotecs and Tlatilco. But still they are generally regarded as the 'sumerians' of Mesoamerica. Their ethnicity is still debated but believed to be among the Mixe-Zoquean groups, probably Zoque. The name Olmec means rubber people, and it is not what they called themselves, this is a Nahuatl term, a language they did not speak. The origins of their civilization go back to around 1600-1400 BC, but farming in the área goes back to at least 5100-4600 BC. The cultural área where Olmec civilization came from was in the Gulf coast of South and Central Mexico. But their influence extended into the Pacific coasts Isthmus of Tehuantepec región, into the Valley of Mexico and into Guatemala and El Salvador.

They are regarded as one of the six cradles of Civilizations. They built Mesoamerica's first cities and were among its first conquerors, making them a rival power to the Zapotecs of Monte Alban. Their principal ancient cities are La Venta, San Lorenzo and Tres Zapotes. We do not know the original names of these place unfortunately since we still do not know their language with certainty and have only been able to decipher part of the glyphs writing system. Among the Olmecs we see some of the earliest depictions of popular Mesoamerican deities like Quetzalcóatl. Possibly the rain Gods came from a kind of were-jaguar god. Olmecs seemed to have an obsession with infants, we know they practiced cranial deformation like the Maya later would, and jaguar-baby like hybrids were common memes. The human and animal (which included birds and sharks also) may be a reference to shamanism. And of course their colosal heads which some pseudo-archeologists will claim were west africans even though these features are not uncommon on natives of this área. We don't know who these figures are. They may be portraits of rulers wearing ballgame headgear or ancestors of important families. Their principal cultivations were cacao and maize. which they also sometimes made into drinks.
The Aztecs also used to collect Olmec artifacts as sort of antiques. Their artwork is really neat though.
Hey guys, could you post an accurate chart of the abrahamic religions and the branches (sects) that came out of it?
You know, starting with the monstrous behaviours of the old judaism, christianism... until today.
>>1136332
Wow. I can't. There's probably a good one somewhere on Google, but I am surprised that no one has commented on this at all. The problem is, as soon as you put Gnosticism and Christianity on the same timeline or even say the name Zoroaster, /his/ flips out.

Like I said... Google
Try this one out. It's more comprehensive than what you're asking for, but it get the idea across

Can one speak openly and personally of religion and spirituality when surrounded by oceans of ignorance and insincerity? It makes me doubt that there is a universal humanity when the prime directive of both the fedora and the cristcuck is to be derisive and attempt to assimilate through rote regurgitation of memes instead of come to a common understanding. Nietzsche was right, wasn't he?
I try to and just get called a meme'd or new ages. Pearls before swine and all that
Almost no one has the sensibility or intuition to grasp this stuff anymore. just stupid ass niggas who really believe Hindus worship an elephant man and not what he represents as a primordial force

You mistake the vocal minority of 4chan for most people. It's okay. I've done it a few times after getting stuck here for too long.

That has been my problem. I have never seen a group that jacks off so hard over parables be so autistic when it comes to metaphor.
>>1135894
I don't give a fuck what people do here. It's out in the real where I realized this over many, many years. I'm just exaggerating the dichotomy between irreligious memespouting authoritarian faggots and vaguely religious memespouting authoritarian faggots neither of whom want to have any sort of discourse. I'm limited to talking about spiritual matter and practice with actual anthropologists, and even they get touchy when you move out of academia and into personal experience because they are almost inevitably beholden to their own spooks.

In the past, science and philosophy weren't separated and were largly indistinguishable. However beginning in the 19th century, the rise of the scientific method created a schism in academia. Modern philosophers often not only are ignorant of science but even openly oppose it. I'd like to know why. Why is philosophy dominated nowadays by people who have no interest in, or even contempt for science? Shouldn't philosophy be more productive if it embraced scientific results?
The only notable contemporary exception I can think of is Sam Harris who is both a scientist and a philosopher. And (coincidentally?) he is one of the most intellectual philosophers of our time.
