>the only time that Korea was ever historically relevant was when it was invaded by Japan
Is there any nation more kucked than Korea?
Germany
Germany

Korea is pretty shit. I'm not sure many people realize how shit Korea was.
At what point in time does the Christian dominance over paganism become irreversible?
How the fuck did Christianity become the state religion of the Roman Empire?
Why did it (and Islam) grow so huge when the root Judaism has remained so comparatively minor?
Judaism is less universalist.
It's more exclusive, has a bunch of hard to follow rules, gets all ritualish
sand people felt more at home with a leader that was a pedophile like them.

tbf joseph did marry a 13, possibly even 12 year-old.
How do we feel about this?
>Dmitri Lubomudrov, the Orthodox Church’s legal adviser told the media at that time, “We realized we couldn’t stay dependent on the Western financial system, but must develop our own. As with the Islamic system, the Orthodox one will be based not just on legislation, but on Orthodox morality as well, and will be an invitation to businessmen seeking security at a time of crisis.” Among its features would be interest-free credit issuance and prohibition of investment in gambling casinos or such activities going against...

As a Catholic, I can't help but be sympathetic. I've read Aquinas in the De Malo. I've seen his arguments that lending money at interest is a mortal sin, and I'm sympathetic to them.
I wouldn't have any problem ripping up the global financial system by the roots. It seems to have done more harm than good, on top of being innately sinful for all involved.
>>787281
Do you think the Catholic Church could do something similar?
>>787422
Oh, yes, I think it could.
The consequences might be dire, though. Popes and cardinals could be assassinated. Can you imagine how furious the global financial system would be if the Church proposed an interest-free alternative to it? People could die. People WOULD die.
I still wish they would do it. Francis would be the pope to do it, but I wonder if even he will.
Was the American revolution really a revolution or just the war of independence?
>>787123
>all men are equal
>except slaves
>also natives
How revolutionary and progressive.
>>787148
Well it was pretty progressive for the 1770s.
>>787123
War of independence. The end result was just an oligarchic pseudo-democracy, where the same landed gentry that had power before the war, had the exact same, if not more, power after the war.
So how much of American history regarding blacks do you really think were hidden? I have heard of some war stories where blacks have been the first to charge in due to being considered "cannon-fodder" around the times of segregation after the abolition of slavery, but are there any big things done by blacks throughout history that truly are overlooked or have the credit given to whites?
I will never fucking understand this American obsession with blacks, they're like what, 15% of the population? That's fucking nothing. Yet somehow all has to be about them and they're constantly the focus of fucking everything.
I mean compare this to Russia, where about the same percentage of people is muslim, but you never hear Russians talk about hidden muslim history, cram token muslims into their movies, commercials and music and just be fucking obsessed with them to no end.

I have a Russian friend who won't stop talking about Chechens. To be fair, he believes in crazy conspiracy theories about them and Vladislav Surkov

Americans are all about representation. Be it in government or in media. If they aren't represented they will revolt either militarily socially or politically.

What's your opinion on Mao Zedong?
Do you think he was merely incompetent, or was he a malicious and cruel man?
Personally, I'd consider him to be criminally negligent. Movements like the great leap forward weren't designed to kill people, but they killed people regardless. It could have been easily avoided if Mao had done enough research to understand that backyard steel was a bad idea. I think he is also at fault for forming the circle of yes men surrounding him that never questioned his decisions.If he didn't purge so many party members, more...

He founded the greatest and most powerful nation in modern history. I like him.

Mao didn't found America
What are you on about?
Mao "Make China Great Again" Zedong made China great again.
What's the history of Christian Zionism?
What made so many Christians think it is their God-given duty to help a secular state where Christian missionary work is banned?
I suppose this actually is okay on here since the history of Christian Zionism is older than 25 years.
>>786183
Christian end-times mythology says that the Jews returning to the holy land is one of the events leading up to the end of the world, and eventually, the second coming of Christ.
>>786183
One time, a group calling itself the "Friends of Israel" wanted to speak at our shul. Not doing too much investigation, I at least only found out they were a Christian Zionist group when their guy started talking.
From what I remember, they believe that the second coming requires the antichrist to do something or other, and that a Jewish state needed to be around as a backdrop, I think to either fall to him or oppose him or something.
It was a long time ago, and he was being vigorously boooed,...

There exists an Israel today because there were British and American christian zionists working on it for decades, if not over a century.
It is ponderous that christians will monetarily support the rebuilding of the temple, which can do nothing but give the impression that once the Jews have a temple again, and start sacrificing animals again, they can go right back to their Old Covenant practices and be.....condemned still.
Ponderous.
At any rate, from what I understand, the third temple is ready...

What's interesting about the Sumerians?
I'm studying Sumerology and I'm dabbling in Pedagogy. My goal is to create an easy and beginner friendly learning experience, but for that I need something to engage my learners. I need to know what interests them about the topic, so
what's interesting about Sumerians? About their culture? About their language? Anything you'd care to know? Any aesthetics that you like, stories you'd like to hear?
pic completely related
Wait, shouldn't you be telling us, you know, you being the scholar?
You know anything about their relations with Sargon of Akkad after he butt fucked them?
>>786113
I want to, but I wanna engage the learners emotionally, so I wanna present them stuff they care about. Nobody gives a shit about agriculture, so obviously I can't go and be like "they were so agriculturally advanced you guys! seriously, look at those awesome irrigation techniques! wanna read 500 lines about organisation of crop farming?"
but at the same time i'm a huge sumeraboo so i don't know if people give a shit about enki, god of wisdom, and how he first had sex with his daughter and...

So did black people enslave the Jews and force them to build the Pyramids? Is there truth in any of this? At all?
>>785416
No to both. The Pharoahs who built the pyramids were not black, and the Jews were never slaves in Egypt.
>Jews
Israelites.
>>785416
black people were the jews
Who single handedly destroyed religion, and/or the concept of God.
Not nietzsche, he was only saying that most christians of his time were slaves which means that most people then were already disillusioned

>Peter Padfield, an historian, has uncovered evidence he says shows that, Hess, the deputy Fuhrer, brought with him from Hitler, a detailed peace treaty, under which the Nazis would withdraw from western Europe, in exchange for British neutrality over the imminent attack on Russia.

What do you think of this?
Also, friendly reminder that it already has been uncovered...

>What do you think of this?
3rd Reich didn't keep ANY promises they've given. Why would anybody believe them about it?
>>785108
What other promises other than the Ribbentropp agreement did the 3rd reich break?
And if Germany conquered all Russia then I doubt there would be a need to attack any country at all anymore. Hitler did not plan war with anyone but Poland (and the ussr which happened 1 1/2 months AFTER Hess flight to Britain though) and Britain knew that since Hitler wrote several peace plans.
Tell me about Constantine /his/.
Was he the greatest Christian emperor ever?
Think he was the first Roman one.
>>784593
>named his city Constantinople, his daughter Constantia, and his sons Constantine II, Constans, and Constantius
He was full of himself
Everyone before and after Basil II was a mistake.
Would you rather live as an average man in a modern 3rd world country or in the Ancient Rome, /his/?
>Antonius, my son....
Average man as in a citizen? During what period?
>>784119
I would love to live in Rome prior to year 410, then open the gates for the Goths to avenge the slaughter of my Germanic Brethren by the civilians of Rome.
