Pantheism thread.
As an atheist I'm especially confused by pantheism. My understanding is that everything defined as God and given unspecific "spiritual" attributes, in other words atheism with meaningless woo woo draped on top of it.
Did I get anything wrong? Why are you a pantheist?
>woo woo
Dropped.

Chiang fucked himself over, and even if the US had continued funding and arming him it would have still ended up as an even bigger Korean War.
He lost too much goodwill pursuing the communists before he got kidnapped, and his decision to almost immediately reopen hostilities with the Yan'an Soviet also lost him support. He lacked Mao's personal charisma and while most American accounts (Wedermeyer, the arguably very biased Chennault compared to Stilwell) demonstrated him to be a man genuinely devoted to his country, his subordinates were less so, and his constant military pursuits distracted him from domestic reforms that could have allowed him to stay in power.
Why did Spain lose its Empire?
Price of silver dropped due to supply and demand and they sort of all inned it. They should have all inned infrastrcture and other assets with the silver, but even then theyd be exposed to a paradigim shift.

What exactly are "German" people?
How culturally distinct were the constituent regions of this abomination prior to the 18th century?
I'm asking this on /his/ rather than /int/ because I want to discuss the question from a historical perspective.
>>819363
The HRE was a hodgepodge of languages, cultures and peoples.
>What exactly are "German" people?
More like, "what exactly are the German 'people'?"
>Holy
How likely would this had occurred during WW2? Why didn't it occur? Floating some ideas for a alternate history novel.
>through espionage work, Germany builds support for a party sympathetic to Nazism in Ireland
>the party builds its own support among the people with talk of reclaiming Northern Ireland and kicking Britain's ass
>eventually a coup occurs and the party overthrows the government, putting its plan into action and formally aligning Ireland with the Axis Powers
>Britain now has a persistent enemy next door who continually terrorises its populace with bombings, destroying British morale
>Germany and Britain make peace, with NI given to Ireland
Uvf would have routed Irish forces single handedly and occupied Dublin within a week.
>>819201
>>819225
So then Britain occupies Ireland, wouldn't that anger the Irish populace massively? Would it then become a guerilla warfare situation?
Has the United States become everything the founding fathers hated?
>>819008
No, only the things Jefferson hated.
FEDERALIST VICTORY
>>819122
/thread
Suck it, strict constructionalists.
>>819008
No, but we are in the situation they feared we would be in, with an overly strong executive, bloated federal government, and tattered Constitution.
They planned for this eventuality, however, by writing the fifth article of the Constitution enabling the states to call another Constitutional Convention.
It's getting to that time now.
Ask a British Sikh anything.
How ya doing?
Why do the BNP and EDL love Sikhs so much?
>>818918
I'm doing fine. You?
Why didn't the Allies do this?
Well Slovakia certainly wouldn't be independent as it was pretty much Hitler's creation and the Allies only recognized Czechoslovakia.
The only way they could do that, would be by either assimilating or holocausting native Germans.
>>818854
>holocausting native Germans.
Bingo.
Who's your favorite historian?
My favorite historian is Green, he's like me- intelligent, progressive, and with a wicked sense of humor
>>818591
James McPherson. Dude doesn't bullshit around.
John Green is the worst thing to happen to history since David Irving.

I have never heared of this guy, except on /his/. What's so bad about him?
Is nationalism a false ideology?
>>818449
It works for some. It doesnt for others.
>>818449
Nationalism is not an ideology.
Nation =/= country
Nation = ethnic group
Get it right

When compared to Europe of the past, do you believe that the Wilsonian creation of the EU has made Europe, safe, peaceful democratic and stable/stronger economically?
I'm trying to wrestle with the thought of whether or not foreign interventionism can be successful in spreading peace, democracy and prosperity. when enforced correctly.
I've come to the conclusion that the best example of a Wilsonian creation is the EU which was born out of a number of Wilsonian foreign policies such as the Marshall plan, and the idea to adopt former soviet sates and former dictatorships into the EU.
Another subject of discussion relating to the above question is this.
''Tunisia is regarded as the lone success story of the Arab revolts. Since Ben Ali’s departure, Tunisians have maintained a relatively wide margin of freedom of expression and pursued a messy and ongoing transition to democracy, even as its neighbors descended into violence (as in Syria and Libya) or reeled under the resurgence of the authoritarian order (as in Egypt and Bahrain).''
If Tunisia were to accept EU membership, it's current freedoms could be nurture and then it's democratic status could be solidified.
No wars in the west for 60 years, disregarding the Basques and the Troubles
No wars in the East for 15 years until Russia fucked up that streak last year
This has to be a record, no doubt helped by EU stability and cooperation
>>818279
Why is it allowed for the media to call invasions of other countries """""""""" Intervention ”""""""""""
The EU has definitely helped to establish an unprecedented peace between the main European powers - Britain, France, Germany, Italy. The idea of any of those countries fighting a war today is the highest insanity. By fostering economic, political and cultural interdependence, it would be entirely pointless to have a war, and there is no security dilemma.
God bless the EU.
Why do humans enjoy violence /his/?
We only enjoy it indirectly and are convinced we truly enjoy it. The vast majority of humans can not commit violent acts without nasty side effects.
Why not?
Animal stuff. Gets us pumped.
How would you rank his preformance as a general? Mainly VS the Americans in the Korean War?

One of the best the PLA has in it's ranks.
Dumb shit Mao had him killed in TCR which is the stupidest decision to make no matter what perspective you're looking at it from.
