The first wave of Muslim fundamentalism occurred in the aftermath of the Mongol holocaust which pretty much wiped out Islamic civilization at it's height.
The current (Wahhabi) wave of Muslim fundamentalism began in the 18th century with the ministry of the fiery preacher Muhammad abd al Wahhab.
Was there an equivalent traumatic experience that caused this second wave to take hold?

Yes, colonialism.
The Deobandi movement also rose in response to mostly British colonialism

Why did glorified administrative regions develop strong national identities?
Hitler lost while being outnumbered by American soldiers who were mostly German descendants. So could his race theory still be true?

>by American soldiers

>implying Hitler didn't lose to Russian Asians after the the European Russians were slaughtered during the Blitzkrieg
He himself acknowledged that the Asians will rule the world. Dear with it.

Why is my country's education system so bad? Is it because we don't force the south to spend tax dollars on schools instead of defending blatantly unconstitutional laws in federal courts?

If it was written by Tacitus it's probably fake
No. When it comes to people like Nero and Caligula most of their accounts of being cartoonishly evil were written by butthurt detractors. It's literally "Hitler was a small dicked pedophile satanist scat fetishisht" tier.

Is this worth reading? It's about how classical civilization came from African, and that the idea white Greeks invented it is a myth.

It can be explained through reason or logic.

They're just court Jews, acting as proxies on behalf of the four Houses that secretly rule the world.

No, the final solution was hastily put together in 1942. Had Britain and France chosen to to punish Hitler for his occupation of the Danzig corridor there would've been no holocaust.
Is the hard problem an autism filter?
The hard problem of consciousness? I'd rather say it's a p-zombie filter. We should take all the p-zombies who fail to understand it, and should study their brains using all neuroscientific methodology available. Then we should compare their brains to real human brains. Perhaps we'd find something interesting.

The whole fucking point is you can't.
Before British colonization, did India exist?
Would a Muslim Balochi feel part of the same broad culture as a Hindu from Ceylon?
Were the Burmese ever considered Indian before the British lumped them together?
>>1398614
An Indian nation still doesn't exist, just an Indian state. India is a huge landmass full of completely different peoples, cultures and languagues that were forced together for the sake of (mostly) convinience.
Modern India is like if all of the countries of Europe were united into a big United States of Europe. It just wouldn't work at all, and it doesn't work for India.
>>1398614
India is as made up as all nation states, except moreso and not even recognised by a large portion of indians. A lot of people weren't even aware they had been colonised until brits announced their withdrawal.
>>1398614
The answer is no and they would most likely not unite.

How come Black slaves never attempted a revolution in america especially during the civilwar?
they did though.
It was always beat down before reachimg any far though.
Some did but most black slaves instead fled northwards or towards incoming Union armies. Or, in the case of one former slave, hijack a Confederate transport ship and flee to the Union blockade with his friends and family. I mean think about it. Let's assume all the slaves at a Georgia plantation killed Whitey McSlavedriver and took over their plantation and the surrounding land. They're effectively surrounded by a wholly unsympathetic population and news would probably spread fast prompting local militia (with lots of guns) to respond.
I expect most of them had no idea a civil war was going on, let alone what it was about. Why would their masters tell them?
Why is the concept of military decorations so unjust and hypocritical?
>hey you've managed to get your legs blown off, good job
>here, have this piece of shiny metal attached to a ribbon
Why do soldiers still fall for this shit?
Because for some reason the people at the top decided that soldiers being allowed to rob and rape and take wives as spoils of war was no longer a good thing so they tricked them into accepting cheap trinkets instead.

You have no clue.

men love to be submissive to some ideology [contrary to women who are not submissive, and if they are their end game is to feel good] and they praise whatever structure make concrete the process of getting this ideology adopted.
The best part is that men love ideologies which are not pragmatic [contrary to women who are down to earth] because it delays the concrete failures that each ideology lead to.
In the mean time, decoration feed the the craving of men [not of women] of ''being a good boy,serving a cause'', which means ''being relevant'' and having other men knowing it.
Men love to think that they work towards a higher goal [women are smart enough not to need this fantasy]
Are her ideas, specifically on the nature of women and the man woman relationship sound?
Considering her works are the basis of modern feminist theory, i'd be interested in hearing if you think her ideas are actually valid in a philosophical sense or if she was just a hack.
>>1398136
she was sarte's lecherous homebosy and hasn't contributed anything meaninful to philosophy as a whole. she, like most women, wrote about sexuality and apparently about threesomes with her, sarte, and other idiots like her. the fuck else is there to say
>>1398151
I tip my hat to you sir.
>>1398151
Im no fan of hers, but she did contribute some philosophical ideas, regardless of whether you think they are valid or not.
What about her idea of females as "the other sex", in that rather than the female sex having it'd own independent identity, it is instead merely the "other sex" in regards to males, being give it's definition by it differences to the male sex, rather than of the sex independently?
Do you think this idea has any validity? I'm eager to start an actual discussion here
