Why were Greeks so obsessed with coasts?
>>1382301
walking is hard, boats are easy

Did the Greeks just flee from their ports and cities in the Western Med when they fought against the Phoenician/Tyrrenian coalition in the battle of Alalia?

Probably Isaac Newton and Richard Feynman, but if I had to pick one, it would be Newton.
Wittgenstein is up there though.

An angel, an eagle, a winged lion and a winged bull represent the four evangelists of christianity. Can the christians and historians of the board explain why? What symbolism connects this creatures with each saint?
For starters I though the lion belonged to Jesus and an angel sounds like a pretty generic symbol in christianity. But I suppose it's normal that different figures may share a symbol for different reasons.
By the way, although I'm educated in late roman and medieval history (so I know most than a lot of people, probably) I'm not christian...

Cherubim, a class of angels in the Old Testament are described as heaving the heads of an eagle, lion, bull, and a human.
>>1387986
Are they described like that in the Old Testament?
>>1388001
Yes
So was early Christianity apocalyptic? The evidence from the New Testament seems pretty strong, especially Mark 13:24-27, which says
"the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven."
And Mark 13:30 goes on to say "Truly, I say to you,...

Jews started with the apocalyptic shit when they became a roman province, many of the apostles surely were into it

Its a pretty popular interpretation

I'm personally fine with the fact that commies annihilated our nobles as a class, they absolute were garbage.

This is of course assuming we are tlaking about actual 'meme's' and not the idea of what it is to be a meme. Meme's existed for huge amount of time before the term was coined.

language?

are these legit?
> He jeered at the Palestinians as "barbaric hoards who ate little but camel dung," while he was appalled that the Israelis "take it for granted that the local population will be cleared out to suit their convenience".

I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."

If by "philosopher" you mean "shithead", then yes.
I know this is dumb question. What is Capital. I mean at its most basic level
>>1386828
It is something you own. Money, yes, but also tools, buildings, machinery. There's fixed capital (A workbench, for exemple) and mobile capital (Wood that you'll chop up to build chairs, for exemple). Workers are not considered capital.
>>1386833
Would a slave be capital.
Don't bother because everyone disagrees on the definition.
What went wrong? How can we take what we learned from their mistakes and prevent a similar situation occurring in South Africa?
Nepothism and race based ecominic politics. Basically thinga just niggers would do.
Anyway, to stop Europe from becoming like that we whites must confiscate the industries from the Jews and lend it out to our friends and relatives as well as give their high ranking jobs to them, should solve everything.

Maybe when a country comes to an internal solution for transition to majority rule, let them do it, rather than forcing literal terrorists into power because of your incredibly frail Foreign Office busybody's ego.
Mugabe was actually a really good President until someone embezzled the fund his party had set up for veterans of the Bush War
The "veterans" then chimped out and demanded gibsmedats, so Mugabe hung white farmers out to try, got rid of the willing buyer, willing seller clause that was part of the land redistribution program, and basically fucked everything up
His response to the problem ruined the country possibly beyond the hope of recovery, but I don't know what I would have done in his situation. If the veterans didn't get their gibsmedats...

Listen you fuckwad, the Holy Roman Empire was a sprawling confederation of autonomous communities which nevertheless operated organically under a common helm, you shit. Just because you cannot appreciate a lack of central national identity when bearing in mind a millennia old cohesion to the crown doesn't make you a fucking genius. The Empire was. And it worked. Because people cooperated.
So fuck off.

How do Russians identify and why? I have been reading some Dostoyevsky and you really get the idea that they see themselves seperatley from those in Europe and Russians living a Euro style were seen as 'bad'.
What are Russians? What do they think of themselves as? Simply Russians? Seperate from everyone else?
>>1385309
>What are Russians?
All modern Russians are a plague on the world
A Russian genocide would, at this point, be a net positive
>>1385309
Slavs who got conquered by vikings
Depending of what Russians. Some would insist that Russia is its own unique thing, a civilization even. Other would prefet to identify themselve as Europeans because of Russian ties with Europe, its political role, common history and shared influence on each other.
Was he right?
Is that the DEA guy from Breaking Bad?
Is that Aleister Crowley?
>>1385109
Very much so
