Was he in the wrong in the Atlanta Campaign?
No.
Destruction of property is a legitimate military tactic.
He's hated because he cucked the South by reminding them that they couldn't defend their women and children from the Yankees.

So glad I'm not a Dixiecuck desu.
Didn't he manage a rather lenient post-war policy against the dixies?
Daily reminder Paul the homosexual and neurotic obsessive Hellene hijacked the Christian religion.
Paul preached a number of doctrines that were considered disgusting and pagan by James and Peter (who had actually spoken with Jesus).
For one, James and Peter held Jesus to be an annointed human (Messiah) and prophet: at no point did they believe he was pre-existent or that he was God, as Paul taught.
The Bible is written in a pro-Paulian light, seeing as Paul's epistles were written down before the Gospels had coalesced, and as such, when the Gospels...

Is getting a History degree worth it? Will majoring is history fuck up my life?
No more than 4chan will.
Nah, history degrees are great. I love my job as a waiter.
It's worth it if you live in a European country with a bloated civil service, and don't limit yourself to try and getting a history job
Just been thinking about this alot lately. Not really talking about any specific god, just any being whos supposedly perfect and all powerful. The way I see it there's basically two reasons god could have created life. 1 It wants something 2 it needs something.
I don't think it's the second one, since if it was all powerful it would never need anything. But isn't the first one kind of selfish? Even if you give it the benifit of the doubt and say it created life so it could see it prosper. Isn't it kind of selfish to do so knowing all of the pain...

when you bring hell into the equation God is truly a huge asshole. literally creating souls knowing they will feel intense pain for an infinite amount of time

i personally like the Hindu idea that he is bored and decides to dream. he creates reality to pass the time so to speak. he first lives out any and every amazing fantasy he can imagine. after he becomes bored with that, he started coming up with random things. a human, a tree, the sun, whatever it might be, and lives a life this way, and then starts again. this goes on until he finally wakes up and simply is

God Loves and is Love and wants to share that Love.
All major characters of the Bible suffer. And Jesus, the central figure of the bible and God Incarnate, is often shown nailed to a cross and writhing in agony as he slowly dies.
Ever see a volunteer sharing deep joy with those he's helping even if they are destitute or in pain? That is God working through man.

The performing arts don't seem to get a lot of love on /his/, but I'm sure that not the entire lot of you are knuckle-dragging troglodytes.
Post favorite performances, recommendations, critiques, your performing arts waifu or husbando (mine's in pic), or whatever you want.
Some topics and questions to get going:
>20th Century music.... What's your opinion?
>Are super modern stagings of opera cancer?
>Does so-called "performance art"...

This could be an interesting but most likely short-lived thread.
>20th Century music.... What's your opinion?
'20th Century music' refers to a lot of different styles and artistic directions. I enjoy Stravinsky every now and again.
>Are super modern stagings of opera cancer?
Yes.
>Does so-called "performance art" have a place among the traditional performing arts?
It doesn't matter.
If god is infinitely perfect and humans are (morally) flawed, doesn't that mean that he must hate us?
Is that the reason why suffering exists?
He doesn't hate humans.
He does really fucking hate the stupid shit we do, though.
God doesn't hate us. Our moral ineptitude stems from our own free will, as does our suffering.

What do you think about Napoleon?
I find his military campaigns and general impact as a leader really facinating and I'm curious to hear other opinions.
He was a small guy

He was like 5'7 or something that was average height for the time. British propaganda kinda started that rumor

Thoughts on the Amish? Thoughts on their lifestyle?
>>1038418
They get poop on all the roads and they hold up traffic but generally they keep to themselves so it is kind of hard to complain.
Keep in mind they aren't one uniform group. Different Amish communities have different standards for what they will or will not tolerate. This allows many Amish to have businesses where they sell things like furniture to "The English" which is their word for anybody who is not Amish.
Well-meaning people but misguided. They rightfully recognized the degeneracy of modern society and decided to cut off entirely from it and do their own thing and completely disregard new technologies. But they fail to realize that certain new technologies and structures in the modern developmental world can be greatly beneficial. Also you can't ever isolate yourself from the world at large, you will always be part of it no matter how much you try, they will eventually be forced to face the reality like everyone else, the world isn't like it used to be. I think they...

Reminder that capitalism is about estranging labor from the value of what they produce. The history is absolutely clear on this.
Karl Marx was right about everything.
How do you define the value of a product?
>>1028435
actually modern capitalism doesn't even involve much labor, mostly speculation.

i bet you whine about the "totalitarian regressive left" inbetween making such statements, but i'll tell you why. the right wingers on this board are entirely ignorant of history and philosophy, they come here to shitpost. marx is both history AND philosophy, so he's pertinent and on-topic.
What are some historically validated conspiracy theories?
What are some conspiracy theories that should be valid in your opinion?
>>1032941
MK Ultra and the Tuskegee experiment. And the existence of the NSA.
Depends how you define "conspiracy" theory. I mean, there was a concerted conspiracy amongst Southerners to kill Lincoln. That's proven at this point. Same with Nazi scientists after the war "defecting" to America with Operation Paperclip.
But as said, the NSA is a big one. The whole of the military industrial complex is another. My only really crazy one is that UFOs are fake and pretty much the whole UFO craze is created and kept going by the government in order to conceal the real shit they do.
Honestly, there are probably more real conspiracies...

This. The media likes to discredit people like Alex Jones as just a looney, and while he is mostly a looney, it's hard to discredit all his theories considering America and all the other Powers' past. I don't know if it;s still considered a theory but NATO funding ISIS is pretty valid.
How come most philosophers never got married or had children?
It's pretty obvious.
