If Bismarck had done everything the same, except not annexed Alsace-Lorraine, could the hatred between France and Germany been avoided, and France at least kept neutral while Germany attempted to conquer Eastern Europe in a "WWI but try to convince France to sit it out" scenario?
>>18523973>So your argument is just that they were anti-HRE in the 17th century and switched to an anti-British policy in the 18th?It's not an argument it's a fact.Every single great war in the 18th century was fought against Britain with maybe one rare exemption, and every geopolitical decision was made with the intention to undermine British influence.>I don't see how that contradicts mine.Because they're not focusing on HRE anymore. Not a single fuck was given.> Obviously the French defeat of the HREHRE doesnt freaking exist like that you absolute donkey. It's not a state. It's not a united entity. Name me a single war where HRE has fought united against a common enemy. You have no fucking idea what you're talking about. You dont know what HRE was so stop pretending. Everything you say reveals this. They were fighting to oppose Habsburg influence, which came from its seat in Spain. Stupid fucking amerimutt. Stick to civil war history.>is what opened the door for them to compete with England in the colonial sphere.And why should they bother with a English rivalry if according to you their foreign policy was obssessing about German states? Shouldnt they be focusing on Austria then?Do you even realise that Austria was the main ally of France during this time period? How does that serve your argument?
>>18523985>It's not a state. It's not a united entityYou're half-right in the sense it wasn't a modern nation state, but neither was France at the time. Modern nation states are a product of the French Revolution and prior to that states were simply a collection of lords and vassalages.>Do you even realise that Austria was the main ally of France during this time periodTheir ally against Prussia, because balancing the Prussian/Austrian rivalry is what became important to France after the 30 years war.Again, I will ignore the low effort insults out of consideration for you but if you keep this up I fear that any attempt at understanding between us will be completely fruitless.
I see you've finally stopped replying. Very well. I won't be insolent enough to declare victory, to be honest I'm just happy I don't have to engage with this nonsense any longer. That was perhaps the most worthless conversation I've ever had, but I suppose your ability to draw it out was admirable. Good day.

If various European people groups really had proto-writing from as far back as 40,000 years all the way to the neolithic "Old Europe" / Vinčan settlements, why did they never invent writing? Were they truly incapable? Is there evidence to the contrary? Are runes the best they could do?
>>18523114This seems like a non-answer to me. "In those days"... in what "days"? Contemporary civilizations invented writing. Writing is obviously an extremely useful tool. There'd have been PLENTY of things to write about that I'm sure were simply passed down earlier.Now sure, maybe Europeans really were just so spread out and tribalistic that writing didn't spread in the same way as it did in other places around the world. That would definitely be a welcomed truth. Though if there is evidence of that, I haven't found it yet.Could there have been a conscious effort among those people groups to NOT write things down? That doesn't seem reasonable, yet the fact that there is no independently developed European writing system at all is likewise baffling.
>>18524087>Could there have been a conscious effort among those people groups to NOT write things down?Possibly. The Vedas in India were and still are traditionally passed down orally because they believed the sounds possessed spiritual value so writing them down would limit their power. The oldest myths and poetry we know of today have their origin in oral cultures where illiterate bards composed songs and stories, most of them extemporaneous and so without the need or use for writing. Writing only started for recording long boring lists and numbers by merchants and traders, not as a way to preserve stories, laws, morality, myths or other cultural ideas. And oral culture was a huge thing in most civilizations until relatively recently when literacy became widespread.
Indo europeans had a god of writing ogmios/hermes which indicates they probably had writing. It would have mainly been used for religious purposes by the priest class.
>>18522153Greeks did but they forgot it.
>>18522153>why did they never invent writing?They did.
Why is the church evil in japanese media? Is it a reversal of the yellow peril trope?
Probably because the Church, as the Japanese experienced, it was an insidious influence that corrupted the populace by turning them against their gods and their proper rulers, and sowed political division throughout the land wherever it gained a foothold, and forced Japanese people to kneel before foreign priests to beg for absolution?There's a reason the Japanese were suspicious, and ultimately outlawed Christianity. They could see it for the tool of control and deception that it was.

In Terry v. Ohio (1968) the Supreme Court ruled that police can stop and frisk a suspect they have reasonable suspicion was involved in a crime and it does not violate the 4th Amendment. On Halloween 1963, Cleveland PD detective Martin McFadden was conducting a plainclothes patrol in the downtown of the Ohio city. McFadden, 62, was a veteran cop with many decades of service; he had joined the CPD all the way back in 1924, was promoted to detective in 1928, and had been on the same beat hunting down shoplifters and pickpockets since 1933. On this fall afternoon, he observed John Terry and Richard Chilton on Huron Road and Euclid Avenue. Terry peered into a shop window, walked a few paces down the street, came back, and peered in the window again. He did this a couple of times after which Chilton did the same. A third man joined them and the three headed towards the store.
The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, Terry being the petitioner as Chilton had since died, and ruled 8-1 that it was allowable for a police officer to pat down a suspect if he has reasonable suspicion that he has a weapon and is, did, or could commit a crime. Chief Justice Warren wrote the majority opinion. He argued that seizure of a weapon during a pat down was not unreasonable under the 4th Amendment. It was probable that some police actions did violate the 4th, but that did not render it responsive to the exclusionary rule. Warren added that it was not disputed that police sometimes engaged in undue harrassment of minority groups, especially African-Americans, and this would not be prevented by excluding evidence from a trial. Yet a rigid application of the exclusionary rule may result in many unnecessary injuries and make it difficult for police to perform their duties.
Merely walking down a street corner and peering into a store window would not in of itself be cause for suspicion, but the actions of Terry, Chilton, and Katz were certainly unusual and it was within reason for an experienced burglary detective to suppose they were up to no good, especially the reactions and body language of the three when confronted by McFadden and their refusal to give their names. FBI statistics showed that 57 police officers in the United States were killed in the line of duty during 1966 and there were also 23,851 assaults on officers with 9,113 resulting in an injury to the officer. Of the 57 officer fatalities in 1966, all but two died of gunshot wounds. A total of 335 officers were killed since 1960.Justice Douglas dissented and argued that it was not disputable that the search had violated the 4th Amendment. He thought McFadden had no reason to suppose they had any ill intent and the men were not arrested or charged with burglary or robbery, but merely for concealed weapons.

Generally speaking, who tends win more debates on /his/ about theism, theists or atheists? Has the internet really vindicated theism or is new atheism still a movement to be a part of? https://strawpoll.com/QrgewKmvQyp
"New Atheism" was never much of a unified thing apart from atheism in itself, so you can't say really say that it fell or didn't fall. Theists just really like having the label around so they can assert that some variety of atheism fell, died, is in terminal decline, etc. and jump for joy on its imaginary corpse. (Meanwhile actual atheism has only been increasing.)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Atheism>Dawkins writes in the introduction to the 10th anniversary edition of the book: "I don't object to the horseman label, by the way. I'm less keen on 'new atheist': it isn't clear to me how we differ from old atheists.">Thomas Zenk likewise argues that New Atheism is an umbrella term rooted in public discourse and cautions against using it uncritically as an analytical category; he also notes that the label does not necessarily correspond to the self-identification of those to whom it is applied>In the context of international politics, the principles of New Atheism establish no particular stance in and of themselves. P. Z. Myers stated that New Atheism's key proponents are "a madly disorganized mob, united only by [their] dislike of the god-thing".>Tom Flynn, editor of Free Inquiry, wrote that the only "new" thing about New Atheism was the wider publication of atheist material by big-name publishers, books that appeared on bestseller lists and were read by millions.
