the rise of fascism is good because it increases the amount of contradictions in capitalism hastening its collapse.
>>18762185If fascism is supposed to hasten capitalism's collapse then why was there an economic boom after World War II.
>>18763955The US was basically a social democracy after FDR's reforms.
>>18763962that's social fascism
tf is this schizo thread?
>>18763943Stalinist USSR also insisted it's a democratic country.Capitalists know that socialists/communists are contained and harmless, the only thing bourgeoisie civilization is afraid of is resurhence of fascism.
How do you promote the Catholic Church to non-Catholics while at the same time saying that it has been infiltrated and subverted? What are some arguments?
>>18765743you don't, the pipeline involves recruiting people who are already Catholic but don't like the current Pope
>>18765746Are you SSPX?
May as well be Orthodox at that point
>>18765743it doesn't matter that their positions on the church are incoherent. they just want disgruntled christians to join their side and give them money
>>18765743>>18765746You have to disentangle religion as an identity and/or a 'second ethnicity' and religion as an internally consistent belief structure.SSPX and Sedevacantism are for people who don't like the Catholic Church as it actually exists, as decreed by the authorities upon which whose legitimate succession - the Pope as the Vicar of Christ and the successor of St. Peter - rests the validity of the idea of the Catholic Church in the first place, but are still attached to the idea of being "Catholic".It's kind of like the horseshoe theory of being a Unitarian or a Reform Jew, but for a radical "fork" on an inherently centralized denomination. Internally coherent theology doesn't really play into it IMO.
It makes a lot of sense when you think about it.

What events from history do you most wish could have been video recorded? I read a book about Comanches and it described some of the crazy feats and battle formations they performed on horseback, that's something I'd love to be able to see with my own two eyes.
>>18765579the battle of stalingradthe battle of cannaethe fall of constantinoplethe battle of nasebythe diet of worms
>>18765579really any ancient battle, it would be great to see how they actually moved
>>18765579>I read a book about Comanches and it described some of the crazy feats and battle formations they performed on horsebackI’ll like to see the aftermath of the 1840 Linnville raid, where the Comanche hit a Texas port town then rode across the prairie decked out in looted Euro garb. No doubt this inspired Cormac Maccarthy’s famous scene in Blood Meridian.

Would Gravettians have mogged Aryans even with a 25,000 year technological gap?They killed so many mammoths that the mammoths went extinct and had so much food that their women could be extremely obese while wandering the frozen steppe.

We may remember that Christ the Lord, upon doing any great or marvellous Cure, put forth the soveraignity of his Will, as when he said to the Leper, I will, be thou clean: And sometimes he put it to those, who, he perceived had Faith in him, saying, What will ye that I should do unto you? And no less was effected for them than they desired the Lord should do for them. These expressions of our Saviour may be a grand Rule for us to follow, and ought well to be regarded by us; for in the Will is the highest Magick, when it is united with the Will of the Highest; when these two Wheels meet in one, they are the swift running Chariot, which nothing can cross or stop, in which the Bridegroom, with his Bride Sophia, ride most triumphantly together over all things, viz. Over Rocks, Mountains and Hills, which are all made a Plain before them, and Seas dryed up. What is able to resist a Will that is united with God’s Will, before which every thing must stoop and bow? which Will, when ever it goes forth, alwayes accomplisheth its Enterprise. Its not a naked Will that wants its Garment of Power, impregnable Almightiness is with it, to pluck up, to plant, to kill, and to make alive; to bind and to loose, to save and destroy [...].Now from the fore-going Rules, we are taught to drown the many VVills, that have been generated from the mixed Essence of the Soul, and to loose them in the Abyssal-Deep, from whence then may spring the Virgin-Will, that never was in bondage to any thing of degenerate Man, but stands free and clear in Conjunction with Almighty Power [...].I know nothing more worthy for the single Eye to look into, and contend for, than the Magia of Faith; which was once delivered unto, and exerted by the Saints of former Generations; and why we should give it for lost now, I see no cause, but should be earnest for the reviving of it, and calling it up from the Dead.—Jane Lead, The Revelation of Revelations, 1683
>>18766023>jewsJews don't believe in the Son of God.
The Father is the original power of all powers, subsisting in, by and from himself; which original power of the Father is most clearly and openly discovered in the Still Eternity, in the highest magnificence, majesty and glory. This supreme power of the Father, is the beginning of all power, and the fullness of all power, filling the heights, depths, and breadth of the Still Eternity: this power of the Father is an eternal unity and simplicity, that is, it is free from all manner of contrariety, divisibility, composition or mixture, as being an uniform, universal, diffusive power, which is nothing else but pure Deity, and further we cannot search into this power of the Father to know what it is, for none knows what pure Deity is, but God himself. It is this paternal power, which fills the Still Eternity throughout, in the appearance of the clearest transparency and brightness.—John Pordage, Theologia Mystica, 1683
How advanced was medieval China compared to Europe at the same time? Would you live there?
Chinkoid dog eaters were never ahead of Europe. The Japanese should have killed more of them. Fuck China
>>18764291>How advanced was medieval China compared to Europe at the same time?Medieval China tended to be more advanced than Europe during the Middle Ages. While we know jackshit about Europe after the Fall of the Western Roman Empire, China has far more records and there was clearly more activity going on. But by the Late Middle Ages Europe recovered and was rapidly advancing and it would be the beginning of the Great Divergence.>Would you live there?I'd rather live in Pre-Columbian Americas in the Middle Ages and not face the swarms of diseases and famines that plagued Eurasia until the 19th century.
Bump
>>18764291Chinks were pretty seriously ahead beginning after the crisis of the 3rd century until the collapse of the Song dynasty. After that roughly on par tech and economy wise. Europe only becomes meaningfully more wealthy and advanced than China around the 16th century. The wealth and tech gap only becomes truly staggering in the 18th century.
Kek at the autists ITT who hyper-focus on the exact definition of the Chinese middle ages. Just fucking answer the question lmao. "Middle Ages" = 500AD - 1500AD
Why were there so many assassination in the late 19th and early 20th centuries?
Karl Margs made them do it o algo
Easy access to dynamite and cheap reliable pistols, spurred on by anarchist “propaganda by deed” and the abusive policies of industrialists and reactionary governments.
>>18765873Guns affordable to even the lowliest of proles, anarchist and communist rhetoric and basically no feds and surveillance around. Our modern surveillance state and gun laws are the elite's reaction to this
>>18766099Don't call them elites, nothing about them is elite. Call them white capitalists or the Epstein class.
>>18766099>>18765938These. Perfect storm of accessible weapons, high inequality, disgruntled plebs, low surveillance/law enforcement, and political radicalism.

How the fuck did people ever idolize war?
>>18766001You gain skills in the military anon. A lot of vets end up getting jobs as auto mechanics and such
>>18766008That is if you actually work on vehicles. Most soldiers aren't touching many wrenches.And it isn't like getting auto mechanic training is some high level rare skill, and not something that takes a few months at a technical school.
>>18765738You could just have all this with like a public works program/civilian job corps and actually make something useful with it instead of an overpriced ZOG imperial death machine for private defense contractors to grift off of, but Americans would call it gommunism
>>18766001That's because the peacetime military is essentially a jobs program for the retarded and unemployable, like the TSA.
in pre-industrial times war was necessary to acquire resources with the lack of modern means like trade pacts. people also had many children and wars would thin the surplus young male population.
damn, boomer food was absolutely grim and industrial-looking. we've come a long way since.
Food can be imported desuThe poblem starts when bioweapons are imported

How do religious people account for the existence of atheism/atheists? If we are all made in the image of God, why is it that so many people are completely unable to perceive the divine? Why does God go to such lengths to hide himself from so many?I'm hoping for some serious answers.
Its another "christians argue Deism ...andtherefore Yahweh" episode kek
>>18765599
>>18765596He never said that, though?Atheism is a position on the existance of God or not. That you need ti to be more is no one's problem but your's.
>>18765629All atheists breathe air. That is a true statement despite your definitions.
>>18762570First point: Adam loses the image and everyone born after Adam is born with his image (Adam’s) not God’s – cf. these verses - Gen 1v26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: Gen 1v27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Gen 5v1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Gen 5v3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: Note the ‘son’ is not made in the likeness of God but in the likeness of Adam (i.e. man). He had a dead spirit. No man is made in the image of God until he is born-again. When a man is born-again, the Bible says that he is… Col 3v10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.Second point (the reason why people are completely unable to perceive the divine):2 Thessalonians 2:10-12. The passage merely states that God gives what a man demands and asks for. If he wants a lie, he gets it. If he will not take light (John 11:10), then light becomes lightning (Matt. 24:27). If he will not accept the truth of God, then he is exposed to a power that God has permitted to exist for the purpose of putting across a lie (John 8:44). If you don't want to believe in God, you are not forced to. However, salvation is a free gift if you are willing to receive it.Jesus Christ is The Lord God in the flesh. He came to Earth in human form, willingly died on the cross as a sinless sacrifice for all the sins of the whole world to save you from eternal hell, the punishment for your sins. He was buried, then rose again from the dead. He now offers complete and permanent spiritual cleansing and eternal life to anyone who trusts Him enough to ask Him for it, instead of trusting their own works to be saved.www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VRT2FFXntc
Why were Art Deco and Stalinist the last great Architectural movements?Why did everything become modernist try hard minimalist and post-modern shit tier garbage after that?Why is it that the modern "return" is just to throw up buildings with facades look like they were built in the 18th century, instead of actually working of new evolution of architecture from where Stalinist/Art Deco left off?
>>18764923>>18765004>>18765056The real answer is that starting in the mid-20th century there was more of an emphasis on construction that favored the comfort of building occupants rather than just "looking neat". Enabled by newer understanding of structural and material science which enabled buildings to be more "transparent" to its occupants while still having desirable thermal properties. Broadly speaking, most modern styles fall under these principles, which have come to be known as "structural expressionism"
>>18762074Art deco is modernismModernism =/ Modern Movement =/ post modernT. Architecture student
>>18762074State directed aesthetics and art movements might offend fags. Im serious
>>18762074After the devastation of WW2 people began to look to the future for hope rather than the past. This was compounded by the incredible technological leaps made during tbe cold war. The idea of building upon the past felt suffocating, and people began to want the sleek, futuristic look. Which happened to also be cheaper and lower effort. We're currently feeling the hangover from that era.
