What do you write, /his/?

>>878807
I would say the Eastern Empire collapsed in 1453, and the Western Empire in 476.
There are thousands of academic works on the subject, I highly doubt /his/ will solve the issue.
>>878807
1945
*tips stalhelm*
Does Canada have a future or a past? What are it's accomplishments aside from surviving in a frozen hellhole?
Indulge me please.
>>878453
Meme foods like KD, poutine, and beavertails.
Turning indians into alcoholics.
Building the robo-arm for the shuttle.

kraft dinner is american though.
They fought well in the wars.

I just copy and paste off Wikipedia
Were the crusades a last resort, defensive war?
Let's settle this once and for all.
>>877526
Some of the later crusades were motivated by the need to reinforce the KoJ. But the first was just a war of (re-)conquest.
>>877526
>invade faraway lands and people who are barely even aware you exist
>last resort, defensive war
Even invading Afghanistan was more justified than the Crusades.
>>877526
No. At best they were humanitarian interventions. Crusades were highly organized projections of power by stable kingdoms with the resources to spare.
What do you think about the Churhc of the latter day saints, aka mormonism?
It's Christianity+ just fuck me up+ fantasy
Sounds like your usual tribalistic religion.
Christian american fan fiction.
Really nice people tho.
what the fuck happened to the militaries of italy and greece? used to have the best fighting men, now if you look at their military, or even special forces, they fucking suck balls.
how do we explain this? was it that the best fighters never had children? or did the fighting race/genetics diminish? why are you guys such pussies now?
I don't see how is Italian or Greek military significantly worse than any other European military is. And if it is it is most likely caused by lower income to the army rather than shitty people like you're implying
>>876853
It's pointless to compare the people of regions over such long time spans.
It would be more useful to ask why Rome was so much better than it's contemporaries or why Italy is so much worse than it's contemporaries. Or you could ask when the Rome's military might began to fail and why.
>>876853
Greeks have... decent military. Outdated but relatively big, or at least they've had it not so long ago, dunno if something changed(and probably something changed since there was crisis etc.).

Shit posting aside how come Hume isnt more reviled by people for destroying the logical foundations of the scientific method?

>if ought to know something, then you basically already know it while you don't even know it yet since you don't really know anything anyway
>Fascism has no succinct definition
Who started this meme? Is it just because of reductio ad hitlerum obfuscating all right wing ideologies?
'Revolutionary social organization utilized by traditionalist, reactionary power structures.' What was so hard about that?
>>875503
Mosley would disagree with you.
>>875507
And the Falange.
>>875507
Ironically, the British example means that the Labour party is fascist, by this definition.
We have had a ton of threads about John Green but I havent seen many discussions about other /his/ related youtubers.
What do you guys think of Lindybeige?
Speaking of John Greene.

Walking meme.
Where does Japans massive Prussia fetish come from?
>>874490
yapoo
Hah, is that from the LOGH opera shit? So goofy.
A large part of the IJA's Westernization was due to Prussian military advisors. Originally, the French were the top choice but their reputation diminished after the Franco-Prussian War. Prussian infantry tactics helped Japan defeat China in a lopsided war, but also led to enormous casualties against the Russians.

>""""New"""" Atheism
Was that necessary?
>>873887
Not really. There's nothing new about people deciding to be idiots.
>>873887
It's necessary to distinguish the tradition of philosophical atheism from pop science authors writing baseless screeds against religion.
I'm not sure I've been getting a clear answer on this from folks, especially self-proclaimed conservatives here in the States, and I wanted to get your guy's input on it.
How much do guys like William F. Buckley and Robert A. Taft have in common with modern, self-proclaimed conservatives like Ted Cruz and Charles Krauthammer as far as ideology is concerned?
>>873884
Opposition to liberal ideology. Thats it.
>>873916
Plus guns and freedumb of speech.
>>873884
It used to mean a desire to follow the Constitution's goal of limited federal government, state control of most issues, and judicial interpretation of the Constitution only.
Now we have "conservatives" wanting bigger, more centralized government, and justices who want to use judicial review to re-write laws, and change the existing laws, constantly.
Every right thinking person in America votes conservative; unfortunately, there are at least twice as many wrong thinking people in America, who merely want to vote themselves money from the treasury in one form or another.
What separates man from beast?
>>873516
Art and science.
The constraints of civilization. Without social regulation, man is nothing but a wolf to man.
I think it's the ability to think rationally, and to act according to reason, as opposed to only acting on instincts and emotions.
What are some Disturbing/Creepy occurrences in history /his/? Preferably Pre-1950's as more recent events don't ever seem to be unexplained.
>>873402
Hinterkaifeck was pretty creepy.
