>>16446704The evening mouth party?Has anyone here read “The Evening Mouth Party” by Julio Cortázar? I wrote an essay for a class and want a little criticism. How’d I do?
>>16446710pretty close except the title of the book which is quite off lol.La noche boca arriba translates bluntly as the night face up, but more eloquently phrased would be, the night spent face up
>>16446710im sure if you look up la noche boca arriba english pdf or the night face up you might find some decent translations of the story, its a short story max 5 pages
>>16446713Thanks for the critique, I wish I could offer you some in kind, but my Spanish isn’t there yet>>16446720I found a translation on Google, I’ll look into it anon
>>16446725Thank you, and no worries, regardless very much appreciated.

This is a subject I don't know that much about, so sorry if I say something ignorantI was talking to a Brazilian friend of mine who says that while Brazilians are typically very anti-Portuguese and resentful of colonialism, it was actually not only mostly beneficial, but also inevitable. He says "the most important thing is it's impossible to distinguish or separate Brazil from Portugal till the early 19th century" It literally created Brazil and there is no Brazil without Portugal."He says that the tupi and other tribal societies at the time were not only cannibalistic and violent (and that to romanticise into peace loving spiritually awakened druids them like Americans do native Americans is folly) but that they were also so primitive that someone was bound to eventually conquer the land in which they lived. If not Portugal then, then someone else 100, 200,300 years from then. He says all people fight each other anyways, but Anglo historical perspectives only repudiate European victories over non Europeans.cont >>>
>>16445450Colonization lost all meaning and is pretty much synonymous to conquest now
>>16445450Settlement is a territory in an empty or sparsely populated area, like the land that would become BrazilA colony disregards who or what is already thereSimilar, but not the same
>>16445336Ok I trust you
The main problem was over-reliance on slavery.
>>16446389They literally needed slaves. There was barely anyone there and the Portuguese were few and far between
Islamic architecture is literally just Persian architecture building off of sasanian/parthian precedents.On top of that, A lot of zoroastrian temples were wholesale converted to mosques, and later renovated.Now that the western political climate hates Iran this mindset also corrupted the history department where we deny persian contributions and put arabs on a pedestal
>>16444778you'll never see*
>>16444778Are we pretending that the Islamic world doesn't have a long history of beautiful architecture, calligraphy, and poetry? Why? I dislike Islam much like you, but even I admit that those niggas can make some decent art.
>>16444243">persian" architecture just say mesopotamian schizo
>>16445224I don't see much Mesopotamian influence in Ardasir's palace, Taq Kasra etcIt was developed by persians copying eastern roman empire architecture with the help of syrians
>>16445224It's Persian. You're semitizing Aryan achievements you bigoted supremacist.
How long could it have lasted before communist uprisings caused the Japs to leave?
>>16446328And the western powers,U.S.A.,UK.France,would they be fighting against Japan?they would not tolerate this,so it´s not just communists though.I don´t think they would've lasted enough.
It could never have existed. If they were content with Manchukuo and Korea that'd be one thing but there was no chance in hell western powers would let them take their east indies coloniesAlso, why the hell would Hainan be core Japanese territory
>>16446328Never would have began to begin with. Hitler like all krauts regarded the Asiatics as a mere tool against the jews, and would be brought to heel after the judeo-bolsheviks
How the fuck is japan going to rule over the 3 gorillion people living in there
How do you deal with the depression that comes with having very in-depth knowledge about your favorite history subjects but you know that the misconceptions that surround it in popular history will never be refuted and if you even attempt to do so you will be incorrectly labeled a zoomer/larper/know-nothing by the zoomer/larper/know-nothings of the world?
>>16446562Everyone is stupid>Hanlon's razor is an adage or rule of thumb that states:[1]Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.>Some of the oldest attributions of the idea date to the 18th century.[12] Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote in the first entry of his influential epistolary novel The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774, first English translation 1779): "[...] Mißverständnisse und Trägheit machen vielleicht mehr Irrungen in der Welt als List und Bosheit. Wenigstens sind die beiden letzteren gewiß seltener." ("misunderstandings and lethargy perhaps produce more wrong in the world than deceit and malice do. At any rate, the latter two are certainly rarer.") [13] Another variation appears in The Wheels of Chance (1896) by H.G. Wells:There is very little deliberate wickedness in the world. The stupidity of our selfishness gives much the same results indeed, but in the ethical laboratory it shows a different nature.[14]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor
>>16446578I try to not be quite as stupid as the next person due to having seen what it looks like from my side. Makes me question a lot of what I used to take for granted. But that makes me depressed to learn probably a lot of my "knowledge" about subjects I'm only surface-level in is probably a lot of bullshit.
>>16446582It´s normal really i think it´s a lot of people hide this and try not to think much,if you read a lot of hoaxes and misconceptions everyone pretty much believed from cradle to the grave so its not an exceptional thing.I thought the same thing as in your op post but then i think everyone through history feel the same way and thats it thats how the human brain works really.A lot of thing we know will probably in next decades,centuries be proven wrong without a doubt.http://hoaxes.org/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions
>>16446562>How do you deal with the depression that comes with having very in-depth knowledge about your favorite history subjects but you know that the misconceptions that surround it in popular history will never be refutedWhy would having more knowledge about a subject than the average person be depressing? You fucking retarded or something OP?
>But Chesterton was not content to think of this superiority as merely intellectual or spiritual: it had to be translated into terms of national prestige and military power, which entailed an ignorant idealisation of the Latin countries, especially France. Chesterton had not lived long in France, and his picture of it — as a land of Catholic peasants incessantly singing the Marseillaise over glasses of red wine — had about as much relation to reality as Chu Chin Chow has to everyday life in Baghdad.And.>Almost any English intellectual would be scandalised by the claim that the white races are superior to the coloured, whereas the opposite claim would seem to him unexceptionable even if he disagreed with it. Nationalistic attachment to the coloured races is usually mixed up with the belief that their sex lives are superior, and there is a large underground mythology about the sexual prowess of Negroes.From Notes on Nationalism.
>The intensity with which they are held does not prevent nationalist loyalties from being transferable. To begin with, as I have pointed out already, they can be and often are fastened upon some foreign country. One quite commonly finds that great national leaders, or the founders of nationalist movements, do not even belong to the country they have glorified. Sometimes they are outright foreigners, or more often they come from peripheral areas where nationality is doubtful. Examples are Stalin, Hitler, Napoleon, de Valera, Disraeli, Poincaré, Beaverbrook. The Pan-German movement was in part the creation of an Englishman, Houston Chamberlain. For the past fifty or a hundred years, transferred nationalism has been a common phenomenon among literary intellectuals. With Lafcadio Hearne the transference was to Japan, with Carlyle and many others of his time to Germany, and in our own age it is usually to Russia. But the peculiarly interesting fact is that re-transference is also possible. A country or other unit which has been worshipped for years may suddenly become detestable, and some other object of affection may take its place with almost no interval. In the first version of H. G. Wells’s Outline of History, and others of his writings about that time, one finds the United States praised almost as extravagantly as Russia is praised by Communists today: yet within a few years this uncritical admiration had turned into hostility. The bigoted Communist who changes in a space of weeks, or even of days, into an equally bigoted Trotskyist is a common spectacle. In continental Europe Fascist movements were largely recruited from among Communists, and the opposite process may well happen within the next few years. What remains constant in the nationalist is his own state of mind: the object of his feelings is changeable, and may be imaginary.
>>16444210Sorry, typo.Meant tradfags.
>Every nationalist is haunted by the belief that the past can be altered. He spends part of his time in a fantasy world in which things happen as they should — in which, for example, the Spanish Armada was a success or the Russian Revolution was crushed in 1918 — and he will transfer fragments of this world to the history books whenever possible.

Give me your best evidence that there was a magic rabbi flying around 1st century Judea doing magic powers like a Jewish Harry Potter. Jesus didn't existJesus didn't existNo Jew in the skyNo flying rabbiJesus didn't exist

If the trannys of yesteryear ran what was for the majority of human history, the worlds most powerful and productive empire, why are modern trannys not achieving more? Where are all the tranny CEOs and presidents? Why are they slackin and lackin so much fr fr baka?
A eunuch is not a tranny Eunuchs had their nuts cut off to prevent them fucking the queen, trannies cut their nuts off because they're mentally ill
>>16446553>trannies cut their nuts off because they're mentally illIs there a horseshoe theory that compares early christians and modern trannies?
>>16446553Also of course to manage the dozens of concubines. Women couldn't be trusted because they gossip, so any men who guarded the royal or imperial harem would have to be castrated (generally it was convicted rapists, what kind of man would volunteer for that?)
They're mandarin types. The vast majority of the past's clergy were probably crypto-transsexual.
What did God mean by this? God gave us the command to populate, subdue, and rule over the earth. But most of the earth is covered by oceans and there are still no permanent human settlements there. Are we supposed to build submarines and underwater cities until Jesus comes back?
In many cultures whale is considered a delicacy fetching a very high market price. Whale steak is very tasty like a very gamey beef or venison with the melt in the mouth texture of tuna. The best cuts of the whale can be sold at luxury prices thereby subsidizing the whale meat that sells for less.
Whale Farming can be done effectively in the coral atolls of the Pacific Ocean.Atolls stretching from the central Pacific into the Indian Ocean provide a vast number of fenced-in areas ideally suited for whales. The reef forms a coral fencearound a central lagoon. Atolls vary in size from approximately 1 mile in diameter to Kwajalein in the Marshalls which covers 840 sq miles.
Hunting marine mammals for meat and blubber has been practiced by many cultures since prehistoric times. It is only since very recently cultural changes altered modern attitudes to abhor the idea.
>>16446419It can also be a sustainable source of oil. Plankton capture more sunlight and CO2 than forests and whales can convert that into oil.
>>16446516True. Plankton blooms occur at upwelling zones where nutrient rich deep cold water rises to the warmer surface waters. Artificial upwelling can be produced by pumping cold water to the surface to produce plankton blooms for whale food.

>>16446354Such a great shame that you worship one of their rabbis
>>16446518If he was so beloved by Jews why did Jews kill him for his teachings?
>>16446522Jesus didn't exist. He was a fictional character from Jew fanfiction written by Jews about Jews that expressed Jew ethnocentrism and liberating Jews and their Jew city from the pinnacle White civilization of the age.
>>16446533>The idea that Jesus was a purely mythical figure has been and still is considered an untenable fringe theory in academic scholarship for more than two centuries,[note 4] >Virtually all scholars dismiss theories of Jesus's non-existence or regard them as refuted.[note 1] In modern scholarship, the Christ myth theory is a fringe theory and finds virtually no support from scholars.[3][27][28][web 1][note 4]
>>16446234Yes, that is an interesting point. Peace and unity have never characterized the Church, so we need never wonder that in our own time such ideals are rarely ever kept. Each has his reason, that God will confound when it abrupt is met.

"Human Rights" is complete mystic pseudo-religious spiritual hippy bs if you think about it for more than 2 seconds.>within all our bodies there is this unobservable, immaterial holy aura human rights and since all people were made in the image of the LORD our Go- uhh i mean since we all have this organ called "human rights" in us right under our kidney it means we are all equal and we all deserve life, liberty, and state-provided eye exams every two years, that's why nobody has ever killed each other because it would go against his human rights, and also it's SELF-EVIDENT that's why no one came up with it until the 1600s
>>16446338>To reject 'Christianity-Morality', At least properly [The 'improper' rejection being 'secular humanism'] also entails rejecting the idea of 'Human Rights'You need to justify this claim.

Also that's not how human rights developed, their development is inseparable from the development of capitalism which happened around the same time, and the ideas themselves are steeped in religious brainrot-- the most famous liberal document even says human rights are "endowned by their creator" ffs>>1644639850 iq moment
>>16446486>yea because liberal philopshers are famous for scientifically analysing the material conditions of the world instead of wallowing in idealism and how things "should" or "ought" to beThe US constitution borrows all of its most significant language and ideas from historical british statutes and famous codes, like the magna carta.
