Assuming that the Japanese managed to defeat the Allies in the Asia-Pacific Front, how would Japan's relationship ( economic, social, etc ) between China, Manchukuo, India and the Southeast Asian States be like?

It’s amazing that Abrahamists seem generally incapable of seeing, or unwilling to see, that the creature is a dependent expression of God acting creature-wise. What’s the point in believing in God if you aren’t even going to allow yourself to see the obvious?The irony is that Abrahamic theology already insists the creature exists entirely through God. But many theologians resist extending that to dependence of action itself. It’s like watching a play but refusing to acknowledge the divine playwright.
>>18733064Bump
>>18733064It’s because people want to preserve creaturely agency as something more than dependent expression for the sake of protecting the folk notion of moral responsibility, which always involves some degree of independent choice. Even though the deeper question is why responsibility should require independent choice in the first place, which no one can answer.

The 18th century had pirates.The 19th century had cowboys.What does the 20th century have?
>>18732635Pirates were more like 16-17th century
>>18732635American Filibuster alive and well, see Hawaiian overthrown, CIA etc
>>18732754>Pirates were extensions of the statethat is surely the case. if you want to look into a wild one, look at henry avery, apparently a caribbean pirate - suddenly appearing in the indian ocean with several allies, intercepting the mughal emperor's treasure ships. intel, logistics, planning, timing - everything implies state action. or something like a state. east india company took over after the mughals
>>18732635Spies? Somewhat more organized than pirates and cowboys but still into dirty stuff
>>18732635Communist guerrillas
Is Taoism compatible with Christianity?
>>18732698Sure, every religion is compatible with any other religion or philosophy if you are willing to twist what it says and every single christian does it already as taking all it's doctrines literally would lead to a belief system not even compatible with itself.
>>18732698The surface level philosophy is sure. But the more esoteric and deeper lessons directly contradict Christian doctrine by claiming that the Dao is unknowable
>>18734274The essence of God is unknowable in Christianity too but there is the element of revelation, you know
>>18732698Tao "The Way" is very similar to the Logos from Greek stoic philosophy and in turn, Christ is the Logos of God in Christianity. When I read passages from Tao Te Ching some things sounded straight out out the sermons of Jesus: like that the humble will be honored and that those who exalt themselves will be humbled. Or how the sky nourishes all life whether people are kind of bad, and that people should take example from this. Or trying to be "like a child" in being peaceful and simple and not being involved in disturbing shit.
>>18732698Philosophical Taoism, like taking the Tao De Ching and Zhuangzi and applying its principles to Christianity, that can be compatible with some adjustments.Religious Taoism, such as with the Quanzhen and Zhengyi schools, no, as they're too intertwined with Chinese folk religion and blatantly contrary spiritual beliefs.
Why they didnt survived unlike all the other non-europenan ethnoreligious people?I heard one of the explanation was that the arab Conquest of the Exarchate of Africa was very violent and multiple of the main latin christian cities of the area were just razed to the ground (Cartaghe, Utica, Hippo to name a few). Is it true?Also its true the speculation that Sardinian may be the last and only know survivor of this african southern romance languages?
>>18733518They were already a minority long before them, while in ME most former Christian lands didnt become majority muslims before the second half of the medieval age (Egypt the latest, around the 14 CenturyWere the local christians genocided, or most of them fleed in the best italian peninsula?
>>18733324it would only be as much a part of the Western world as Latin America, which is to say more Western than Iran, less than England or France
Roman language and chalcedonian christianity was limited to the wealthy urbanized coast, while the interior remained largerly berber and following various christian splinters
>>18734785Vgh, we could have gnostic Valentinian Maghreb speaking shitty Romo-Berber creole
>>18734785No wonder Maghreb is rightful clay of Spain (Morocco), France (Algeria), and Tunisia (Italy)
>Himmler admired Röhm because he was a decorated combat soldier, and at his suggestion Himmler joined his antisemitic nationalist group, the Bund Reichskriegsflagge (Imperial War Flag Society)
>>18733731>Under Mussolini, the last legitimate Italian nationalist, they certainly were.Nope, not even then. Mussolini did not get along with Hitler on everything, and he resented orders from Berlin. You need to look a little deeper.
>>18733423Too zesty
>>18733423Himmler was notoriously self-centered and sociopathic, perhaps even more than Goring. He didn't really care about Hitler or was mesmerised by him, like many other Nazis said they were, until relatively late, and betrayed him anyway. Sure, he had his own set of beliefs and stuck by them (although they were evolving), but he was not the most loyal nazi, no matter what Hitler said
>>18733723They are however semitic
>>18733667Himmler would be a blackpilled incel chud nowadays
Would Lenin be a fascist if he had hair?

>Charles XII of Sweden crushed Russia at the Battle of Narva (November 1700)>instead of pursuing his victory to conquest Russia, he made a huge MISTAKE ... he turned south into Poland and wasted over 6 years fighting to depose Augustus II Elector of Saxony>Meanwhile, Peter the Great rebuilt Russia's army from scratch!>By 1708, Poland was neutralized and Charles turned east, re-invading Russia, but he was destroyed at Poltava (1709)>After a long multi-front war, Charles XII died in 1718, and Sweden finally conceded defeat in 1721, losing it's Baltic territories Sweden was powerful but limited in population - they desperately needed grain imports from their Baltic territories (Livonia, Estonia) to keep from starving. Once these territories were lost to Russia, Sweden never regained its status as a first-rate world power. Had Charles XII of Sweden not made this historic blunder, we would all be speaking Swedish today.
>>18731878Portuguese gold increased global inflation, meanwhile all of early modern Europe depended on Swedish iron for their ships, armies, industries and slaves.

The defense of Berlin was undoubtedly the peak of human excellence.
>>18733583>Hitler is becoming popular againAlways hilarious how /pol/tards are so alienated from real life that they think Die Linke's anti-Israel stance is somehow a Nazi resurgence, blatantly ignoring the whole LINKE part of it kek
>>18733743Anti-Zionism, unironically, is white genocide by communists and their non-white minions.
>>18733770The fundamental requirement of Zionism is the eradication of all whites except Jews, consistent with the Talmud Jew religion established following the resurrection of the living body of the one true God.
>>18733774Palirats are not white
>>18733762>Die LinkeDid you mean to say "AFD" and then realized you actually HAVE called AFD nazis?>>18733725no, browns like jews hate Hitler because he destroyed them.

Why didn’t Alexander create a royal line of descendants where the eldest son becomes king of his empire after he dies like Genghis Khan did instead of dividing his empire amongst his 4 generals? Is he retarded?
>>18732045because God hated him and wouldn't allow such a thing, it's literally in the bible, Alexander had a pretty face but he was a homosexual

>painting of a great historical battle>painted in 18XXWhy is this always the case?
>>18733132Well Spain has a good cuisine which is reputed to be among the very best in the world and people from all over the world fly here to have a chance to experiment it, unlike the garbage that people in England and Holland eat. Not so sure why you're trying to depict that as something bad though.
>>18733120The Dutch won because God was with them.
>>18732905There’s a big difference between an Islamic raid near the Loire river versus Toulouse. Martel started the momentum that would see his son extinguish Muslim presence in Septimania.
>>18732836Because that's when nationalism became a thing and "great historical battles" weren't usually all that great until nationalist mythologies made them great
>>18733144>unlike the garbage that people in England and Holland eatEnglish food is pretty good but I can't even find the words to describe how grim Dutch "food" is. It might be the worst cuisine in the world, it's genuinely terrifying. Starving niggas in Africa eat better than the Dutch.
Was this the worst most onesided alliance in human history?
>>18734496Israel has still to invade and occupy the USA.
>>18734491>Was this the worst most onesided alliance in human history?Israeli-American alliance is a strong candidate too
>>18734491Prussian-Polish alliance (wasted potential)
>>18734491And what about the USSR and its "alliance" in the form of the Warsaw Pact?They plundered the economies of Eastern European countries—first by directly stealing whatever they could, and later through trade conducted using the so-called "transferable ruble." This currency was used for the cashless settlement of trade (exports and imports) within the Eastern Bloc. Prices and exchange rates were set artificially by the state rather than by the free market—meaning that outside the Eastern Bloc, it was an artificially concocted currency worth absolutely nothing.And if anyone didn't like this forced "alliance" with the USSR, the Soviets would simply roll in their tanks to replace the government with another, employing massive violence—as seen in Hungary in 1956 or Czechoslovakia in 1968.
>>18734491>Was this the worst most onesided alliance in human history?There's been many alliances between France and Spain, which one tou refer toBut if you're talking about the Bourbon one then Spain got Louisiana out of it for a while while France got idk the guarantee that Spain wouldn't be led by a Habsburg and little less.>>18734497And why would they bother doing that when they already basically control the country?
Abrahamicists:With no due disrespect, how do you cope with the fact that there is literally zero evidence for the existence of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, etc?That there is no written or archeological evidence for the stories of Genesis and Exodus, despite centuries of looking for it and the fact that Ancient Egyptians kept meticulous records on all their famines, plagues, wars, foreign slaves, important figures?Or the fact that Genesis claims the Israelites arrived in Canaan as foreigners from Ur, despite the genetic evidence suggesting they were always native to Canaan?Or the fact Genesis mentions Philistines, Hittites, Chaldeans - all groups that existed by Canaan in the time that Genesis was written, but did not yet exist as people groups during the time it was set?It's an interesting text of myths but all of it is at odds with historical and archeological fact. You cannot believe in both science and the literal truth of these books.
>>18733709>Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Josephfantasies>Mosesmost likely a fantasy, but could have had a prototype>Exodusprobably the distorted memory of the Canaanite colonists banished from Egypt after Hyksos lost
>>18733709This is a piece of an ancient vase found in Israel with the inscription: Jerubbaal. Jerubbaal is Gideon's nickname given to him by his father after he destroyed the altar of Baal
>>18734343>I love showing them the evidence that God doesn't exist. It destroys their entire argument.t.
>>18734314>Abraham was a muslim and offered prayer to one God.Didn't God literally tell him to establish the state of Israel and genocide the Palestinians? Sounds jewish to me.
