What did they do without our freedom?
They grew with free healthcare, less poverty and real freedom.
The savages raped the poor fools who didn't get to escape and ruined the culture of Vietnam

So, hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction. I am looking to learn a bit more about the SA and the early days of the NSDAP. Most books I have read gloss over 1919 - 1933 to get into the real minutiae of WWII and Nazi Germany.
I asked the guys over at /lit/ for any books that focus on the SA and the street battles with the communists as well as the organisation as a whole, but they had nothing. Perhaps the historians can help?

If Muslims do not worship Muhammad because he is not divine but a man, then why is creating images of Muhammad so forbidden?
because it's like a saint not divine but saint
They are scared people will worship the pictures
It's not forbidden
Did he do anything wrong other than piss off people who had more interest in controlling other states than their own by throwing out their policies?

*Laughing in Helicopter*
As I get it people could just walk into a factory, occupy it and later get ownership of it because there was laws that confiscated factories if they weren't in function for to long and that the state wouldn't do anything about the occupiers.
Which of course fucked the right of private ownership in the ass.

He was a 8/10 leader.
What is debatable was his quality as a policy maker.
When arresting political opposition during the Great Purge, why did Stalin require his opponents to 'confess' to crimes they either did/did not do, as if they had the illusion of choice? They were fucked either way, seems bizarre considering.
It gives "legitimacy".
By confessing guilt, the death becomes a punishment instead of an assassination.
Most people willingly confessed crimes they didn't commit because they thought they were advancing the cause of communism.
Yes, commies are this retarded.

>His posthumously published book, The Phenomenon of Man, sets forth a sweeping account of the unfolding of the cosmos and the evolution of matter to humanity, to ultimately a reunion with Christ. In the book, Chardin abandoned literal interpretations of creation in the Book of Genesis in favor of allegorical and theological interpretations. The unfolding of the material cosmos, is described from primordial particles to the development of life, human beings and the noosphere, and finally to his vision of the Omega Point in the future, which is "pulling" all creation towards it.
>Teilhard makes sense of the universe by its evolutionary process. He interprets complexity as the axis of evolution of matter into a geosphere, a biosphere, into consciousness (in man), and then to supreme consciousness (the Omega Point.)
>Teilhard’s unique relationship to both paleontology and Catholicism allowed him to develop a highly progressive, cosmic theology which takes into account his evolutionary studies. Teilhard recognized the importance of bringing the Church into the modern world, and approached evolution as a way of providing ontological meaning for Christianity, particularly creation theology. For Teilhard, evolution was "the natural landscape where the history of salvation is situated."
He faked scientific data.
He was denounced for a while.

>William Adams (24 September 1564 – 16 May 1620), known in Japanese as Miura Anjin (三浦按針: "the pilot of Miura"), was an English navigator who in 1600 was the first of his nation to reach Japan. One of a few survivors of the only Dutch East India Company ship to reach Japan from a five-ship expedition of 1598, Adams settled there and became the first ever (and one of the very few) Western Samurai.

There have been lots of crowd crushes in the last 200 years, and the number is increasing. They seem to become more common all the time.
But what actually causes them? How can people walking into the back of other people actually cause fatalities?
I underatand that people can be compressed enough to be unable to breath, but what possesses the people at the back of the crowd to keep pushing forward even when the crowd stops moving?

The imitative ray.
>>1061717
Once you surpass a critical density of 7-8 people per square meter, individual movement becomes impossible. The crowd begins to behave like a fluid. Individual people collapsing can lead to propagating "waves" in the crowd, creating temporary areas of higher and lower density.
This gives the people at the back the illusion that they are moving forward. At the same time they have no clue what's happening at the front of the crush.

>The Agrarian Reform Law of August 1946 nationalized most property of religious institutions. Many clergy and believers were tried, tortured, and executed. All foreign Roman Catholic priests, monks, and nuns were expelled in 1946, and the Jesuit and Franciscan orders were banned. Religious institutions were forbidden to have anything to do with education.
>Beginning in 1967 the Albanian authorities began a campaign to try to eliminate religious life in Albania. All 2,169 churches, mosques, tekkes, monasteries, and other religious institutions were either closed down or converted into warehouses, gymnasiums, or workshops.
>The clergy were publicly vilified and humiliated, their vestments taken and desecrated. More than 200 clerics of various faiths were imprisoned, and some were executed or starved to death. The monastery of the Franciscan order in Shkodër was set on fire, which resulted in the death of four elderly monks.
>The penal code of 1977 imposed prison sentences of three to ten years for "religious propaganda and the production, distribution, or storage of religious literature." A new decree that targeted Albanians with Islamic and religiously-tinged Christian names stipulated that they were to change them. It was also decreed that towns and villages with religious names must be renamed.
>Hoxha's campaign succeeded in eradicating formal worship, but some Albanians continued to practice their faith clandestinely. Individuals caught with Bibles, icons, or other religious objects faced long prison sentences. Religious weddings were prohibited. Parents were afraid to pass on their faith, for fear that their children would tell others. Officials tried to entrap practicing Christians and Muslims during religious fasts, such as Lent and Ramadan, by distributing forbidden foods in school and at work, and then publicly denouncing those who refused the food. Clergy who conducted secret services were incarcerated.

What the heck is up with all the pirates in the ancient world? It sounds like the Romans struggled with piracy a lot, what with Cilicians and Mamettines rowing about; were they shore-raising pirates or did they just take down ships? It seems like the Caribbean age of piracy was a flash in the pan compared to Mediterranean piracy. Anyone got any good material or theories on the Hyksos/nuragics/boat people?
What Hyksos have to do with piracy? They were nomad Semitic tribes from Palestine, IIRC.
Also don't forget Greeks, they were the primal pirate nation in the Mediterranean during their Dark and Archaic ages.
The thing you've got to understand is that these weren't Pirate Pirates in the sense of the golden age of piracy in the early modern period. Most of these dudes were fishermen who lived in coastal communities, piracy was their way of getting stuff they otherwise would have no access to. Rome pacified the mediterranean primarily by invading and conquering the places that were supplying the pirates, not by creating a navy to constantly patrol the sea.

Well that may be cause you are comparing a timespan of thousands of years with other of just centuries.
Lets discuss this, since its most important thing about history imo.
To which extent are people made to do things they are doing by their environment and from which point the choice is up to them?
First of all, there is the moral look. I know most of you consider this stupid, but for me its kind of important. I mean you got Lincoln and Hitler as good/bad guy in history, but if Lincoln was born in traditionalist Germany circa 1920 and Hitler in multicultural New York prior to civil war, they could as well switch places and we would be worshipping Hitler and demonizing Lincoln.
This is actual as hell, because whole migration crisis is caused by people who don't know if we should kill ISIS or help them "recover". (pic related)
Second of all, there is the admiration itself. Both Hitler and Lincoln were just catalysts, they just triggered a long-term process. It wasn't Lincoln who wanted to free the slaves, it was whole northern USA. It wasn't thanks to him that it happened, it was thanks to change in perception of mankind, thanks to a process that took decades, even centuries. (Never really read into it so i'm just guessing but you get the point) Why celebrate Lincoln then? Why not just admire the process and learn from it, instead of repeating Lincoln's quotes like he was demi-god?
Anyway just general determinism discussion.

any way, all choices are themselves conditioned and contingent, you could almost say no one realy ever does anything, all things, actions, behaviors, basicaly just happen, and this could be logicaly and empiricaly prooven, but at the same time it would be a rather screwed up way of regarding human life in practical terms, especialy in terms of relations to others and things like personal responsability
in a sense, even if we are simultaneously avare determinism is a true aspect of human reality, so is free conscious agency
its almost like were getting it wrong in that they do not negate each other, but somehow coexist, perhaps even pressupose each other
this problem is kind of one of the basic pillars of most mystic and religious traditions
just dont realy see what its got to do with history, or the immigration crisis, or the war in syria, i mean it equaly has everithing to do with the superbowl and frying chicken, and can realy be turned whichever way, set conditions get behavior isnt realy a specific enough context
think what youre getting at is the humanism informed stance taken by liberals today acording to which humans, ''other'' humas especialy, are fundamentaly to be considered benign and unproblematic untill prooven othervise, instead of as basicaly compeeting, potentialy dangerous and seriously problematic organisms that we have to share the world with - which is basicaly a objective truth applicable to every single human on the planet, you and me included - and that therefore it would be wise to be wary of humas, especialy ''others''
and the reason there is no great public outcry for action to end the war in syria is just basic pacifism, i seriously doubt anyone has any notion of things 'recovering'
>>1060096
theres nothing 'rasist' or whatever about this when you think about it, its more like a appeal to a reasonable dose of equal oportunity hatred, its perfectly logical to describe human beings as large intelligent beasts, and that makes them, by default, and without negating any positive aspect, a potential danger and a problem
in other words, its specificaly ones humanity, ones basic human-beingnes, not the lack of it, that makes him or her a potential danger and a problem
and with regards to populations and/or organisations this obviously does not just add up but multiplyes
think this is the crucial thing, and it baffles me how something so obvious can be so completely ignored
