Because we're a jumbled mass of atoms and chemical reactions trying to live in a universe full of things that could kill everything on our planet with the cosmic equivalent of a fart.

no idea, but you better post prophecies. This one from the 1600s

The Fifth Church Age started in 1520 and will end in 2038

"The fifth (Church age) period is one of affliction, desolation, humiliation and poverty for the (Catholic) Church. Jesus Christ will purify His people through cruel wars, famines, plagues, epidemics, and other horrible calamities. He will also afflict the Latin Church with many heresies. It is a period of defections, calamities, and exterminations. Those Christians who survive the sword, plague, and famines will be few on earth. Nations will fight against nations, and will be decimated by internecine (characterized by great slaughter) dissensions. Are we not to fear during this period that the Mohammedans will come again, working out their sinister schemes against the Latin Church?"2 "During the fifth period, we see only calamities and devastation, oppression of Catholics by tyrants and heretics, executions of kings, and conspiracies to set up republics"3 "A great lament will come over all mankind and only a small batch will survive the storm, the pestilence and horror."4

At the end of this fifth Church age, humanity will have no choice
but to go back to living directly off the land.

A remnant of people will be left on the earth at that time,
mostly from the Catholic Faith."

>>817217
The Sixth Church Age will start in 2038; ending in about 345 years
Of the sixth Church age: "The Powerful Monarch, who will be sent by God, will uproot every republic. He will submit everything to his authority, and he will show great zeal for the true Church of Christ. The empire of the Mohammedans will be broken up, and this Monarch will reign in the East as well as in the West. All nations will come to worship God in the true Catholic and Roman faith. There will be many Saints and Doctors of the Church on earth. Peace will reign over the whole earth because God will bind Satan for a number of years until the days of the Son of Perdition. No one will be able to pervert the word of God since, during the sixth period, there will be an Ecumenical council which will be the greatest of all councils. By the grace of God, the power of the Great Monarch, the authority of the Holy pontiff, and the union of all the most devout princes, atheism and every heresy will be banished from the earth. The Council will define the true sense of Holy Scripture, and this will be believed and accepted by everyone." 5 "The Great Monarch of the world will create new laws for the new mankind and will cause a new age to begin, in which there will be only one flock and one Shepherd, and peace will be of long, long duration, for the glory of God in heaven and earth..."6

What if there was a true technocracy that developed in Europe similar to Belka in Strangereal? They would need a current day population of at least 100 million to have an effective space industry though.

>but I have a hard time thinking that even they would actually go through with something like this to the full extent, if given the opportunity.

I'll bet you they gladly would.

OP here. Just to clarify mine is a confusion on the mindset of the people at this time and not the human capacity for violence or cruelty. I am under the impression that this was in Era in which these people unapologetically considered themselves not only the masterace, but the peak of human achievement. Ideologies like the White Man's Burden would have been prevalent, so my confusion stems from how some people could be proponents of such a thought process while at the same time finding no fault in acts of barbarism of this magnitude. You'd think they'd consider these kinds of acts beneath them.

>You'd think they'd consider these kinds of acts beneath them
What did you think was going to happen when you told a group of people that they were special-er than everybody else?

25 year rule :^)

Satisfying your sexual pleasures by using another man isn't necessarily gay (still degenerate though).

>>815256
Homosexuality and bisexuality didn't exist as identities in the ancient world. No-one considered themselves 'heterosexual' either.

>>815273
I agree, I am just using these terms for convenience sake, not as an identity.
That's why I call myself bi, but probably would say gay if I'm with a guy or straight if I'm witha girl.

>>815267
just call it bi or whatever then

>not gay if it's dominant
I am fine with that interpretation :^)

>>815157
because the germans were being obnoxious pricks.

Krauts wouldn't stop killing American sailors, krauts tried getting spics to invade us (lel), krauts wouldn't buy our shit, in that order

Jews forced the Japanese navy to attack the civilian liner Lusitania, thus propelling America to seal Germany's fate to set the stage for the second war in which the Jew was finally able to achieve the genocide that would allow them to fully control the West.

Then how do you disprove something like fairies? Wouldn't the whole argument be "theres no evidence"?

>>814839
That's not entirely relevant to your earlier statement

>inb4 dislike niggers hiphop etc

Interesting concept, good music. Not sure how historically accurate it is.

>>814659
its mostly historically accurate.
Alex and Eliza actually had 8 children. And the three men who first confronted hamilton about the sex scandal were not Jefferson, Burr, and Madison.

>>814517
No because christian idiots refuse to call their deity by its actual name instead of god so everytime you say God those morons think you mean their sky jew.

God is my wiener for all life emanates from it.

Nope. Sounds right to me.

Franco industrialize Cataluña and fomented Spanish nationalism

The ones who want Independence are leftist paid by Jews

I would imagine it would had ended like the USSR, there would be no Spain, instead there would be Cataluña, Vasconia, Galicia and Castilla

>What would Spain be like today had the Communist/Anarchist/Republican side won the Spanish Civil War?

Poor as Romania.

>What would China be like today had the Nationalists won the Chinese Civil War?

Rich as Taiwan.

>>814406

I don't really know much about Spain, but for China:

The KMT never really managed to develop a solid base of support even when they were on top in the early to mid 30s, they were more this semi-feudal conglomeration of warlords than a modern state. Chiang himself only directly controlled a corridor that ran roughly from Chungking to Shanghai, all of the rest were adminsitered by various warlords who would offer support to the central KMT, but often in a time, place, or manner of their choosing.


With that unstable of a grip on power, you'll probably see widespread repression and revolt, and if the Communists are knocked out, you still have a bunch of regionalist and other competing "nationalist" elements who would like to see the KMT go down.

You'd probably have intermittant civil war until someone either replaces the KMT or they get their act together, but I'm not entirely sure why they were never able to really assert power in the first place, so I'm not sure what they'd need to do to fix things.

Dane here.
As I understand it, if someone seeks asylum in Denmark has a large capital, be it money, non-affectional jewelry or other valuables the state can confiscate them to help pay for the asylum seeker's residence. These exact same rules apply to any Dane who wants to recieve aid from the government as far as I know.

>>814250
