Why do historians tend to deny Hitler was a psychopath? He seems to exhibit most traits of ASPD to me
>>18247182Almost every competent world leader has to be a little bit of a psychopath
Because he wasn't. He was a turbo normie.
He was right about everything
>>18247182Because he showed intense emotional investment in his ideology, art, and Wagner, which is more typical of a fanatic than a cold, detached psychopath.
>>18247434Wrong.Pretty much every historian asserts that Hitler was not a psychopath.The most fundemental criteria for being a psychopath is the lack of empathy.Hitler had empathy, and he is generally described by everyone who was near him, as being loving and caring.Evil is subjective and humans often justify their violence on others by a vicious smug self-righteousness, often from those who are empathetic and pride themselves on the fact that they are. In their mind, their violence is justified against their opponents, because this person believes he serves good and so the other serves evil.It's a strife for utopia, if they could just remove a group of people so that we may finally make this world a better place. A lot of people around us completely tick every box of having been a nazi, not because they specifically subscribe to nazi ideology, but because of the nature of their character. My point is that Hitler truly believed he was acting for the greater good, that his work was going to benefit everyone. He truly believed he was fighting a defensive war against people and states. Even today, nearly all wars of aggression are believed to be righteously defensive by the aggressor. He also truly believed jews and communists were evil and conspiring to destroy everything that is good. He believed that he HAD to act, and that only radical solutions was the only solution.There are people who reason like this today against others. They are fully convinced that their violence is justified because of an imagined hyperbolic plot by their opponents unless they act. This is what ideology does to you, and it's the true lesson of ww2, but people mostly focus on "not being nazi", while missing the greater picture of why it happened and what makes humans do these things. Whenever you feel that violence is justified based on your own self-righteousness, you're becoming the person that made the nazies (or communists) do what they did to others.

Why was bimetallism mocked?
>>18247581bad for the jews who owned the banks. the jews held debt and the bimetallists held assets like land. if you add silver it would have caused massive inflation which would have allowed the land and other real asset owners to pay off their debts much easier. It's basically what the jews now want to do, since FDR. >have the government (or the banks) borrow a ton of money>intentionally inflate the money by printing more because fiat (and even since FDR we basically had fiat in everything but name) and then pay off your debts with the inflation
>>18247581Because the values of gold and silver fluctuated at different rates. A currency might be designed around having 100 silver coins because same value as one gold coin, but this would change over time. Either you constantly have to redesign the coins, live with the changing values of each coin (see how the British Guinea coin was intended to be worth £1, but overtime became worth £1 1 shilling, and people just stuck with it). Or keep the coins at their intended relations and get people melting down the gold/silver to sell off since they're worth more than what the coin's meant to be (see the Latin monetary union in the 1870s. This also involved an inverted form of this, Germans in particular would makes tons of LMU silver coins to the correct specifications, convert them to gold coins in France, then go home having made a profit.) Essentially bimetallism is fine for something like the old British system of coinage, where the value of specific coins was separate from the actual value of a pound. But if you wanted a nice consistent organised system with 100¢ in each Franc/dollar, it's a terrible idea.
President Truman, 21 July 1947, diary entry:“The Jews, I find are very, very selfish. They care not how many Estonians, Latvians, Finns, Poles, Yugoslavs or Greeks get murdered or mistreated as displaced persons as long as the Jews get special treatment. Yet when they have power, physical, financial or political, neither Adolf Hitler nor Joseph Stalin has anything on them for cruelty or mistreatment to the underdog. The Jews have no sense of proportion nor do they have any judgment on world affairs”.

Is stoicism basically the secular version of christianity?
>>18247626>What makes them wrong?Well, I said I was non-Christian, so to me thinking Christianity is correct would be a wrong conclusion. But an in-depth argument about that would derail the thread from its less overdone and more specific topic of the relationship between Christianity and Stoicism, so It'd probably be better for anons just take their perspectives on deeper topics like that for granted in their posts rather than defend them here.
>>18247300>secular version of christianity?Isn't that just Protestantism?
>>18247708kek
One interesting idea the Stoics and Christianity had in common is that the world will end in fire, though it looks like the Stoics thought no one survive the fire, not even the immortals."And when the time shall come for the world to be blotted out in order that it may begin its life anew, these things will destroy themselves by their own power, and stars will clash with stars, and all the fiery matter of the world that now shines in orderly array will blaze up in a common conflagration.Then also the souls of the blest, who have partaken of immortality, when it shall seem best to God to create the universe anew – we, too, amid the falling universe, shall be added as a tiny fraction to this mighty destruction, and shall be changed again into our former elements." —Consolation of Marcia"But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be destroyed with fire, and the earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed." — 2 Peter 3:10
Also from Seneca's Consolation of Marcia, though it doesn't represent a standard Stoic view:"It is merely the outward semblance of your son that has perished, his likeness, and that not a very good one; he himself is immortal, and is now in a far better state, set free from the burden of all that was not his own, and left simply by himself: all this apparatus which you see about us of bones and sinews, this covering of skin, this face, these our servants the hands, and all the rest of our environment, are but chains and darkness to the soul: they overwhelm it, choke it, corrupt it, fill it with false ideas, and keep it at a distance from its own true sphere: it has to struggle continually against this burden of the flesh, lest it be dragged down and sunk by it. It ever strives to rise up again to the place from whence it was sent down on earth: there eternal rest awaits it, there it will behold what is pure and clear, in place of what is foul and turbid."

Why were gamers not accepted by society historically and how did they gain acceptance?In the 80s, 90s, and even the 2000s, gamers were shunned by mainstream culture. There were constant attempts to trample on the rights of gamers. Numerous bills were drafted for censorship, there were debates in legislatures, politicians running on an anti-game platform etc. Gamers were blamed for ills of society like school shootings. Only in the 2010s gamers won widespread public approvalWhat were the reasons gamers were looked down upon back in the day?
>>18247520Are you 12?This is completely made up in your head. Being a “gamer” was never a thing. It’s a marketing play that arrived some time after the Xbox 360. The “gamer” before that time was a sweaty little nerd who painted warhammer figures and went to LAN “parties” to play Quake with 2-3 other peadophiles. Since the SNES gaming has been incredibly popular among nearly all young people.

>The Wilderness was a mean place for a battle; a large expanse of scrubby underbrush and second growth forest. Union artillery crews found unburied skeletons left from the Chancellorsville battle a year ago and old timers remembered the horror of that fight, men crippled by gunshot wounds being unable to get away from the forest fires that were creeping closer to burn them alive.>It was here that Robert E. Lee chose to make his stand; the dense vegetation would cancel out the Army of the Potomac's advantage in numbers and especially artillery and if they wanted one square foot of Wilderness ground, they were going to pay for it.
>>18247575There were quite a few Confederate officers who'd attended West Point and peppered Richmond with demands for promotion because they were only company-grade officers and felt it was a waste of a perfectly good West Pointer to leave him stuck at the rank of captain. Most of these men had been promoted to colonel by 1864 and some even claimed to have become generals without any proof, possibly because of gaps in the surviving Confederate records. Not all of them were in their 20s either, some were as old as their 50s.
This is William Duffield, colonel of the 9th Michigan Infantry. He literally had his nuts shot off at Stones River. Ultimately survived and lived to 83, dying in 1907.
Cpl. Edson Bemis of the 12th Massachusetts was wounded three times, at Antietam in the left arm, in the Wilderness in the pelvis, and at Hatcher's Run where a Minie ball struck his head and lodged in the left hemisphere of the brain. A surgeon extracted the round and he eventually recovered and would go on to father two children, though he had headaches, memory problems, and impaired hearing for the rest of his life. He died in 1900 at age 58.Lucky boy, no one knows how he got out of that one in a pre-antibiotics world.

Why did pre-battle champion duels exist, and why did they disappear?In many ancient and early medieval wars, armies sometimes selected a small number of champions or even a single pair of fighters to fight before the main battle. Persians, Greeks, Romans, and even Jewish sources describe such encounters, where the outcome of the duel could decide morale or even the fate of the battle itself, sometimes without the full armies ever clashing. These practices seem to persist into late antiquity and even the early Islamic conquests.Not every battle featured them, but they were a recognizable and recurring feature of warfare for centuries.At some point, however, this tradition vanished. By the time of early modern warfare and certainly by the Napoleonic Wars or World Wars no armies settled battles through champion duels.Why did these duels emerge in the first place, and what structural, cultural, or technological changes caused them to disappear?

>>18247174balloons and blunderbusses!
>>18246740Ritualized warfare is based. Instead of trying to outsmart God with freaky infernal technology or win battles by deception, let's have the leader of the army or a representative come out and show the human quality of his cause. Africans had it right in the pre-Zulu times, there's no need for excessive killing.

You are saved by your faith. However, babies can't have faith and neither can toddlers. They don't understand. Kids under 7 often don't know what they're doing. It makes sense adults and teens are saved by faith. It also makes sense there is an age of accountability because some people are either too young to have faith or too young to investigate faith. How is a baby saved by faith? He can't be so the age of accountability clause makes sense.
>>18247001Augustine already made it clear: babies are damned.>Likewise, whosoever says that those children who depart out of this life without partaking of that sacrament shall be made alive in Christ, certainly contradicts the apostolic declaration, and condemns the universal Church, in which it is the practice to lose no time and run in haste to administer baptism to infant children, because it is believed, as an indubitable truth, that otherwise they cannot be made alive in Christ. Now he that is not made alive in Christ must necessarily remain under the condemnation, of which the apostle says, that "by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation." That infants are born under the guilt of this offense is believed by the whole Church.
>>18246845Matthew 12:32 implies you can still be forgiven in the afterlife in cases with an exception for blaspheming against the holy spiritLuke 16:22–23 implies the righteous do not go to heaven when they die but wait to be resurrected by christ when he returns

Shew the things that are to come here- after, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together. Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.""If you and your Moslem (and Catholic and Hindu and Buddhist) friends cannot meet THOSE requirements which God gave you in His Book (see Mal. 3:16), then for heaven's sake, don't go around bragging about some fornicating polygamist or some wine-headed politician or cross-legged yogi who as (and is) no more a genuine "prophet" than Goldilocks and the Three Bears (Ezek. 4:9-10)."The quran not only contradicts itself, it contradicts the Bible:https://download.timefortruth.co.uk/docs/Christian_Soldiers_Battle_Notes.pdf"The Quran itself claims that it is a continuation of the Bible and it will not contradict it (Sura 2v136).What this means in logic is that whenever the Bible and the Quran have a conflict or contradiction, the Quran is to give way, not the Bible. This is particularly true when the text of the Quran contradicts the text of the Bible. The Muslim position is that the ‘same’ God (Allah) revealed the Bible and the Quran. Thus the Quran will never contradict the Bible, otherwise Allah would be contradicting himself. It is obvious that if Allah contradicted himself, he is not perfect. And if he is not perfect, then he cannot be God. If the Muslim rejects the Bible, he must also reject the Quran because it appeals to the Bible.
