If heaven and hell is real, is theocracy the only moral form of government? I mean, if people will go to hell unless they believe in Jesus, than those in power should do everything to save them, convert as many people as possible.
For example, if there is a new drug on the market that's both super addictive and damaging to your health, and more and more people are getting hooked on it, ruining their lives, I would expect the government to start some kind of program to keep people away from it and get addicts off that shit. Even though I'm pretty libertarian, I would consider them a shitty and immoral government if they just let all this happen.
If Christianity is true, sin and unbelief have even much more dire consequences than that hypothetical drug. Wouldn't it also be the responsibility of any government to do everything to save people from such consequences, meaning: to promote Christianity with all their power?
In the middle ages, this was the accepted viewpoint: the main task of a king was to protect and help the church, leading his subjects to salvation.
>>943997
Moot point since Christianity isn't true.
>>943997
Technically the Catholic church still officially supports Monarchy as the proper form of government with a Catholic monarch at the head. Although you can't really legislate belief into a person. Only conformity with ritual at most
So what exactly is the end goal of Anarchism? What does the Anarchist plan to accomplish?
I want to become a feudal warlord but the establishment has created an environment too peaceful and orderly for me to accomplish my goals.
Isn't "anarchists" just what empires called nationalists back in the day to make them sound nefarious?
>>943585
Nothing, as a anarchist-primitivist I just refuse to partake in the modern society as whole.
What was Caesars ultimate goal? Was it to build a better new Rome or was he just power hungry?
>What I got
>Maize
Wew.
I'm absolutely laughing my ass off at the absurdity of this image. Anyone with even the faintest knowledge of history would know that the "corn" that Caesar speaks of in Commentaries On The Gallic War is not the corn that we in the west are familiar with, but is rather a poor translation for the word "grain" which in Latin is "Frumentum"
Myself and many others who have read the commentaries would know what you're trying to refer to with your image but it's wrong. Unless of course you were already aware of this and you are posting this ironically. In which case I commend you for your post but it's still blatantly wrong. I would have gone with a collage of images of wheat instead.

Dude, thats the joke.
ITT: France getting humiliated in wars/battles.
Man I'm so fucking tired of being alive
Every single action, thought & emotion is worthless and will be forgotten by the time I'm dead
And satisfying my own needs doesn't lead to happiness but to delaying a death that's going to happen either way
How the fuck do people manage to keep doing this?
On another note, recommend me books about everything being in vain. I like Ecclesiastes.
There are ways to immortalize yourself beyond the gates of cause and effect anon, you just haven't found them yet.
>>943040
only people whose life counts are people whose actions have mattered and impacted other people
besides being a particularly successful or shitty leader, a pop idol, or having a lot of money and using it for the good of the world, there's no way to make one's life matter at all
only other way to make one's life matter to at least oneself is to be a narcissic
>>943051
Has anyone ever told you you're very shortsighted?
Listen up kiddo, those who aim for renown and status will have their chains of action nulled down the line. Artists who build a masterpiece and leave themselves anonymous will forever hold credit for that masterpiece. The system is a lot more complicated than you think, infinitely so.
Prove me reality exista...

*exists
>what if like, everything was like, inside of my head, man.....
>yeah haha what if... like.. nothing is real... it's all in my head... hehehe... you're in my head... that guy on 4chan who told me i was a fucking retard? in my head.... my head? in my head.... hehhhehh u can't prove nufin
>>942859
I can't.
But it's irrelevant, because even if reality is just in my head, there is no known way to exit it and getting to know what is beyond.

I know they attempted to argue Jesus wasn't a Jew. What else?
Depends on which nazis you mean. They wasn't an uniform belief you know, it varies from person to person.
Himmler in particular was literally WEWUZ tier moron who believed ancient Egyptian and Mayan civilizations were built by Aryans and even sent an expedition to Tibet to prove that Tibetans are actually Aryan.
He wasn't a Jew, he was a Judean.
>>942368
He was from the tribe of Judah, therefore he was a Jew. If you believe the Bible it literally pushes Davidic descent as well.

There's no "good" and "bad" when we're dealing with the Revolution, --- only plebeian instincts in power, and their result.

I get aroused thinking about that one aristocrat bitch who pathetically begged for just one more moment of life as she was dragged to the guillotine.
Someone explain the War of the Triple Alliance pls
president of Paraguay thinks he is the second coming of Napoleon and declares war on everything around him.

What's wrong with Positivism?
People incorrectly think that you must be positivist for appreciating the power of the scientific method.
>>941981
It assumes that things can be broken down into smaller parts. The sum equals its parts. Whereas those who are anti-positivist, believe that the sum is greater than its parts.
>>941981
nothing
A lot of positivists are just really obnoxious.
Was there anything that Takeda could have done to avoid being completely being BTFO by Nobunaga's muskets?
Yes.

For a lot of American schoolchildren the entirety of French involvement in our Revolution is boiled down to this one guy's story.
So how is he remembered in France? Venerated? Vilified? Forgotten?
