torture camps are based
>>18490571Because they're weaklings that feast on the death of unarmed civilians. They screech like troons whenever the time to fight an actual fight comes.
>>18490596>heh, you're killing the people trying to kill you?>guess that makes you kinda hypocritical, huh
>>18488946What is the symbolism? I don't get it
>>18490606>heh heckin' evil cummunistas hate me for wanting to kil them >Nazi gaymer revolution any week now
>>18490621>being a lefty unironicallyAre you trolling or did you not realize we all left you behind?
Didn't come to a clear conclusion.
>>18489748>noooo skewetons are scawyyyyy mommy mawy save meeeeeee :((kek christards really are like this
>>18489748>only wholesome things can be goodIs your own religion satanic as well?
>>18489359I think there is no argument that they had a strict caste system and that the high religious orders lived a life of contemplation and art in magnificient shrines and monastries by exploiting the labor of the people. But I don't know much about Tibet, I just read a novel set there not too long ago.I wonder, did they ever have a warrior nobility that existed in tension with the religious authority, like basically any other place?
>>18489748>goes to church once a week to partake in ritual cannibalism>tortured corpse displayed everywhere>worships petulant god who tortures people for fun and routinely massacres innocents when insulted>obsessed with satan: an extrabiblical, dualistic cope to counter the fact that their insane god made everything evilYou and your religion are just as vapid as the tribal Mexicans shaking turtle shells over a broken bone or Tibetan skeleton dances.
>>18489359Looks kino
Why did they randomly decide to LARP as Romans from 2000 years ago (with Hindu lore sprinkled it) and start slaughtering and enslaving their peaceful european, christian neighbors?Is the 3rd Reich even real? It seems like something out of a comic.It's probably the craziest thing that ever happened in human history.
>>18488100No they LARPed as Teutonic Knights who were famous for exterminating Slavs for civilizational purposes.
>>18486030Lol.
people have been LARPing as Romans since Ancient Rome.
>>18486030they didn't larp as romans
>>18488973this, whenever a european monarch/emperor needs validation he'll pull the "uhh I'm rome n shit" card. It has been done since Charlemagne
Why was there such a massive southern han diaspora here? Mostly hokkien at first but then later on there was a mining boom and a bunch of cantonese and hakka too. Weren't the Japanese a maritime people? Why didnt they establish themselves? The greeks colonized the med, the italians, the phoenicians. The dutch had colonies, the English and Portuguese. Why didnt the maritime Japs do the same?
>>18490481The Japanese really weren't much of a maritime people before the modern era and were more interested in pirate raids than in establishing colonies.
japs were mentally stunted
>>18490544Pirate raids don't preclude establishing colonies, I would suppose the problem is that their only worthwhile target was China who was also too strong and densely settled to colonise.
Based on his descendants, what did Muhammad actually look like?
>>18489536Muslims don't think its important to know what the Prophet looked like. Why would you?
>>18489536based on the 103958684823 people that claim to be his descendants?
>>18489536Muhammad had no descendants. All of his descendant are descended from his cousin Ali
>>18489536The average Saudi is far more genetically similar to Muhammad than most Sayyids, so this is worthless
Art is beautiful. Why are there no art threads here? Is it not a part of humanities? Every other board's "art" is just japanese cartoons and smut.Picrel is made entirely from feathers. It's from 17th century New Spain and likely made by hispanicized Indians.Post art. Any culture, any theme, and any time period.
>>18490080because sadly, this board is /pol/ for those who think they are "too intellectual" for /pol/. Check the catalog and most threads are about muh hitlah ww2 and da jooz
Was this man the greatest Golem of history?
Have you read the Holy Quran? Which translation and what did you think of it? Have you read any other holy book like Bible, Torah, Morman, Gita, GGS, Avesta and I don't know what buddhists read.>Read! In the name of your Lord who created: Who created man from a clinging form. >Read! Your Lord is the Most Bountiful One who taught by [means of] the pen, who taught man what he did not know. But man exceeds all bounds when he thinks himself is self sufficient: all will return to your Lord
>>18490267From a political sense>Sunnis don't seem to be following what Islam was supposed to beI'm more concerned with this.
>>18490383The succession disputes were both political and religious
>>18490487It's a little outside the topic of this thread.Weren't the disputes about succession of the first rightful caliph after Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) died? The Qur'anic discourse doesn't recognise tribe, race or heritage over piety. I mentioned here >>18482086 one of the reasons marrying the prophet's wives was Forbidden was to squash potential avenues for violent succession contests, and claims of legitimacy by tribal leaders. Yet Ali's marriage to Fatima proved to be a genuine part of his support. The 'house of the prophet',>Establish worship, and pay the poor-due, and obey Allah and His messenger. Allah’s wish is but to remove uncleanness far from you, O Folk of the Household, and clean you with a thorough cleaning (33:33) (M.Pickhthall)One of the primary verses used to argue for the inerrancy of the familial lineage, and infallibility of the spiritual leader.This is my cursory understanding. In particular, apart from the inerrancy, what do you find more compelling about the way shia practice faith?
>>18490543>Weren't the disputes about succession of the first rightful caliph after Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) died?Yes, and this has a religious dimension. Shias argue (very convincingly) that Ali was designated not only as a political leader but as a spiritual successor. Whereas the narrative of the secret election of Abu Bakr while Ali and his camp were busy arranging the funeral reads like something of a coup. So to answer your question, if Shias followed the correct successor both politically and spiritually, then obviously their spiritual practices are more correct. And if Sunnis chose the other camp against the true successor, then they aren't following what Islam was supposed to be
>>18490543>It's a little outside the topic of this thread.You're right about that, my initial comment was intended as just a one-off. I don't want to derail the thread, but I'm guessing you're OP so if you want to discuss further its up to you. Also I think you would have gotten a better discussion on /lit/. Less larpers (still many)
why are japs so enthraled by german history middle ages kingdom periods and ww2 specificaly?
>>18488824Good Evening my Japanese Allies.
>>18488812they're not
>>18488812After the Franco-Prussian War the japs ousted their french military advisors in favour of prussian ones (Brits were instructing their navy), and during WW1 german POWs introduced them to cool shit like Beethoven's music. They also built a bridge that still stands today.
>>18488812They both represent the best and greatest their race has to offer.
because theyre cool. and im tired pretending otherwise
cubans are 25% african, some cubans reach 40%
HUMANITIES?
>>18490386Those numbers look too high even to me, this must be defining Nafri admixture in Iberians as African
>>18490386One of the many negative effects of Castro’s revolution
>>18490386So they're just average iberians?
anybody who's ever seen a cuban or watched a video of cuba could tell
There is something about the 1600s that fascinates me.>30 years war>religious wars everywhere>witch burnings>america is now accessibleThe middle ages ended, but modernity still hasn't begun. It is a period of transition and those are usually always extremely brutal and bloody. None of the naivety of the middle ages remained and to make matters worse new technology made killing each other far easier and more profitable.It's still an extremely barbaric age, yet it's not something completely abstract like the middle ages, it's still closer to us than it is to 1000, even linguistically. That entire era just has such a grimdark aura. I can't be the only one who thinks this.

Deep down we're all grateful to them for saving Europe from swarthy germutts and brown shitalians
>>18489619Neither side in the war was good or bad; the real goal of World War II was, in fact, to achieve greater centralization of power through the IMF, the UN, and other organizations.It makes no sense—as is the case with most of history—to frame this in terms of good and bad.

>But I tell you, you are self-deceivers. You lack either the self-knowledge or the mettle to face the facts squarely and own up to the truth. You resent the Jew not because, as some of you seem to think, we crucified Jesus but because we gave him birth. Your real quarrel with us is not that we have rejected Christianity but that we have imposed it upon you!(…)>Your loose, contradictory charges against us are not a patch on the blackness of our proved historic offence. You accuse us of stirring up revolution in Moscow. Suppose we admit the charge. What of it? Compared with what Paul the Jew of Tarsus accomplished in Rome, the Russian upheavals a mere street brawl.(…)>Look back a little and see what has happened. Nineteen hundred years ago you were an innocent, care-free pagan race. You worshipped countless Gods and Goddesses, the spirits of the air, of the running streams and of the woodland. You took unblushing pride in the glory of your naked bodies. You carved images of your gods and of the tantalizing human figure. You delighted in the combats of the field, the arena and the battle-ground. War and slavery were fixed institutions in your systems. Disporting yourselves on the hillsides and in the valleys of the great outdoors, you took to speculating on the wonder and mystery of life and laid the foundations of natural science and philosophy. Yours was a noble, sensual culture, unirked by the prickings of the social conscience or by any sentimental questionings about human equality.

>>18490388Tbf, the very idea that Yahweh is the "one true God" and that all other gods are either nonexistent, fallen angels, or demons only exists because of Judaism. Therefore, anyone who promotes Abrahamic monotheism is acting on behalf of Jews.
