Who cares what a Freemason shabbos goy who helped the Rothschild banking dynasty get rich thinks?
>>18289415But the exact same shit happened under his rule? Even worse, Parisians openly cheered their invaders arrival, that's how fed up they were with Napoleon's wars.
>>18289494Frederick was speaking french for most of his life, also given that nazis were basicaly bunch of genocidal pagan thugs he would most likely not like them
>>18289492>bunch of meth addicted working class nobodies from the 1940s would've considered an elite 19th century conqueror spawned from nobility to be barbaricWho cares?
How did the U.S. Democratic Party evolve into a coalition between atheist/secular white trannies and super Christian/conservative blacks and latinos?
Through reliance on race-baiting, just like when they backed slavery and the KKK

Was he really such a bad ruler, or did he get dealt a really bad hand?

>>18289576kinda, but he also inherited a very dysfunctional country so he was kinda doomed anyway

So what he did might have seemed a rational course of action
He stepped down which is what the liberal dumacrats insisted on for his entire reign. He gave them what they wanted and they hated him for it because they fucked up the situation in less than a year and got bagged on by superior communists.
Too dumb to just hand the reigns over to the libs and live it out easy as a constitutional monarch
Discuss critical study of the Qur'an:
>>18289525>I think he’s right that Abd Al-Malik made it.Considering all the relevant data to present the most comprehensive and convincing examination of the origin and evolution of the Qur'an available, Shoemaker concludes that the canonical text of the Qur'an was most likely produced ONLY around the turn of the eighth century.
>>18289084Is there a reason why Muhammadans don't produce works of art like this anymore?
>>18289577Have you read Christoph Luxenberg’s work on it? I think it demonstrates convincingly that the Qur’an is a mixture of Levantine Aramaic and Arabic. It makes sense too considering how much is taken from Syriac literature like the Cave of Treasures. Another thing too is how heavily the Qur’an leans on Jewish literature. Al Baqarah is the earliest text noted and one of the more famous, mentioned even by Church Fathers. It depends heavily on Rabbinic narratives rather than Biblical. Shoemaker does note in “A Prophet Has Appeared” that Muhammad’s mission began with the Jews of Edessa. That these figures would continue to be relevant in elite Islamic circles, particularly that of the Syrian Umayyads, presents an interesting conclusion.
>>18289594Muhammad never existed if he did give us a book about his life before 40 when his kabbala prophecy starts.
>>18289612MHMD was likely a Hebrew nickname for an Arabian warlord or a Jewish Messianic claimant who wanted to retake the Holy Land after the Jews were expelled in 617 AD by the Persians and forbidden from rebuilding the Temple.
On 24 June 1652 when Louis XIV was 13 years old, his servant Pierre de La Porte undressed him for a bath and discovered that he was covered in semen, despite the fact that he had not yet reached puberty. He was likely drenched in viscous semen, as La Porte makes note of the fact of how visible the semen was.It was never confirmed who ejaculated on the boy king, and to this day historians debate on who the likely culprit was. Voltaire hypothesized that the king had ejaculated on himself, but this is unlikely, as La Porte would have been privy to the pubertal progress of the king, being that he bathed him daily, and knew that such a thing was impossible.
>>18289439They likely would have hyper focused on Christian theology so probably not.
>>18287939Absolute degeneracy was a common thing amongs the nobility
>>18289439>In the old days the church would stuff them into monasteries and make them copy books, which is something autists can actually do.Not every autist is the same, nor do you need autism to be able to do work like that at all.
>>18288029No, they didn't. They really didn't.
And yet he ended up being surprisingly straight. Weird.
what makes the difference between art and entertainment in your opinion?are they completely different things or one side of the same coin? where does the distinctions begin and end? is it just the intent behind it?
>>18288234Nothing. Art is anything made by people that doesn't serve a practical function. 100% of entertainment is art.
>>18288234Art is made for cultural/intellectual purposes and isn't intended to please everyone, while entertainment is made for profit and is thus intended to appeal to as many people as possible
>>18288234Art can be entertaining, and not all entertainment is art but you can say entertainment is artistic
>>18288234Entertainment is mostly a product that is designed intentionally to have as broad of an appeal as possible to a certain demographic (or the widest possible demographic depending on marketing strategy) to maximize profits. Art is an expression of a deep feeling which comes from a place that doesn't necessarily need validation or monetary reward. Each of those definitions live on the far end of two poles across a continua, and most media will sit somewhere on that continua.

The Romans believed in Pax Deorum (“Peace of the Gods”) in which it was necessary to worship the gods for the survival of the Roman state, otherwise the gods would punish them. Looking back, they were right to believe this.Rome prospered under emperors who threw Christians to lions like Hadrian, Trajan, Marcus Aurelius, etc. But under emperors who were tolerant of if not Christians themselves like Theodosius, Philip the Arab, Commodus, etc), Rome stagnated and declined.The crisis of the third century was punishment from the gods for allowing the rise of Christianity. The vast majority of emperors during this time were tolerant of Christian and the few moments of prosperity happened under the few emperors who threw Christians to lions.The Antoine plague was punishment for tolerating Christians, the emperor who ruled during the plague was tolerant of Christians.The fall of Rome was punishment from the gods for fully abandoning the traditional religion and making Christianity the state religion. The gods as punishment allowed Rome to fall to foreign invaders.
>>18288653>The gods as punishment allowed Rome to fall to foreign invaders.Yep, and it started with Septimius Severus who Jews and Christians loved, if the Gods are worshipped again, Rome will retvrn>>18288674This>>18288670It was declining because Christianity was rising amongst the population long before Constantine even came, it didn't suddenly flip a switch with Constantine you dumb fuck
>>18288755Not an argument
>>18288653Gibbon and his writings have had devastating consequences for Roman history.
>>18288667>>18288674>>18288768Reminder; the gods only bestow their blessings to those who devoutly worship them and when people refuse to worship them, the gods simply take away their blessings as punishment. We are still suffering the consequences of abandoning them today as we’ve never achieved the aura Ancient Greece and Rome held.
>>18289317Your nation (USA) proactively offends any deity that isn't Athena/Ishtar.Like, I have dealt with people who go out of their way to blaspheme against any other deity, and then target their followers. Including raping people and sabotaging their careers when they don't worship her.And yet ironically they want to appeal to other deities when they want but are such cowards that they expect others to do the work of standing up to their controlling goddess.Its fucking pathetic.
Imagine the smell
>>18287757LmaoWhat century do you prefer then?

Why do the academics refer to pagan worshipers or followers as "cults" when they were the mainstream religious practices at the time?
>>18288099Because Academia is run by Kikes and Kristians. They consider ALL non-Abrahamic beliefs superstitious conspiratorial pseudoscientific paganism. Check the links you will not find Judaism, Christianity or Islam listed there. These Abrahamicist are half the planet and they believe their Abrahamic cult is rational, logical, scientific and that non-Abrahamic beliefs are none of that.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conspiracy_theorieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_topics_characterized_as_pseudoscience

>>18288099Many of them did actually function similar to modern cults. Pythagoras for example was banned in Italy and he died after a crowd chased him down and murdered him (he had reached a dead end where a field of beans were blocking his path and he refused to trample them under foot as he believed in reincarnation and recalled having been a bean in a past life).
>>18288099Didn't they call themselves cults?
They had pretty much free reign over Eurasia for like a thousand years. Why didn't they become a superpower?
