Russian nationalists frequently claim North Caucasians, Central Asians and Siberians were all on the stone age or bronze age and had no writing or cities at all before Russia brought "civilization" and build the first cities. In reality North Caucasians like Chechens and Dagestanis used the Arabic script and Central Asians used Arabic script as well. Buryats used Mongol script. All of the North Caucasians, Central Asians and some Siberian peoples like Buryats, Yakuts, Shors and Siberian Tatars were in the iron age and smelted their own iron. The Yenisei Kyrgyz were even farmers and they had a 2000 year old Chinese palace.They had cities. The Golden Horde itself had a capital city Saray and so did Dagestan.https://archived.moe/his/thread/14303728/>>14303728https://twitter.com/OCanonist/status/1770274033936011326>You are on the money here.>Chechnya & Dagestan has experienced a genocidal ethnic cleansing in the 1994-2000s conflict/war.>Native, (white, European) Russian people were systematically displaced by Islamists & terrorists. >This will be addressed in the future, and will be thoroughly investigated.

>>16583742What's funny is that we owe Western European civilization to the people who speak the North Caucasian tongues. They are nearly related to the people who created Gobekli Tepe and the Old Balkan cultures who invented metallurgy and many other things important to civilization. Not to mention founding all the Atlantic Megalithic cultures.
>>16583742Everybody lies about their national myths. It is normal nationalistic thing and yours is not different.
>>16591614That's true for every single nation.

There must be some kind of god because the alternative is the law of physics being inherent properties of the universe. But since they re laws, algorithms, they re not chaotic, but orderly. The problem is that chaos cannot create order. Order cannot be present by itself for eternity, it has to have been ordered. Atheists claim there is a program without a programmer. This where their reasoning breaks. There cannot be a program without a programmer because order cannot be spawned by chaos.you could argue then that god itself was also spawned by chaos then depsite being very orderly since to order the universe he must be intelligent, but here is the kicker : god is a supernatural explanation. Without supernatural, you re claiming, in the framework of a natural world, that order can be spawned from chaos, which is completely contrary to everything we can observe. The only way to justify order spawned from chaos is a supernatural explanation. Therefore some God must have create the universe.
>>16593772Oh, I misudnerstood because it didnt make sense since the answer is in the first post. I wrote, please reread, than it must be supernatural, IE something that does not respect this rule, therefore a god. BGecause the complex programming of physics as an inherent property of a godless universe makes no sense since it relies on something out of nothing in a natural framework. you re basically implying a miracle while pretending there is no god which is contradictory. while both are subject to the question, it makes sense for god because it is supernatural thus beyond simple explanations that do not break the rules. Something out of nothing cannot be explained by the natural.
>>16593785either the laws influence on objects, or the objects influence the law, sicne this is relative ther eis no way for you to know if it is one or the other nor do you have a way to know. It doesnt really change anything anyway, since in both cases there are complex orderly algorithms that repeat patterns at work.
>>16593791That's only if you think that there ever was nothing though.
>>16593801I'm not talking about matter or space, but about the patterns of the universe (laws of physics), which are orderly algorithms yet atheists claimed have been programmed by no one.
>>16593805So am I. You argued that orderly laws cannot come from nothing or from chaos. I'm saying that this objection only works if you think that there was either nothing or chaos before these laws.
The good timeline.
>>16593403There was growing public opposition to it, even in the best case scenario for the Confederacy there it's still just a matter of time. You're also ignoring the Federally backed black insurgency there too.
>>16593455"King Cotton" was doomed, but only because Egypt was able to outcompete them, not because capitalists cared about the abolitionist cause.
>>16593503>not because capitalists cared about the abolitionist cause.Yes, that's why Britain maintained slavery until the early 1980s. You clearly know so much about this topic.

Are there any good resources about the lifestyle of Berserkir and Ulfhednar? Were they living solitary life besides wars or were part of general socium? how were they looked at by regular people? Did they have any outstanding symbology or styoe or tattoos other than bear/or wolfskin that distinguished them from others?
>>16593358simple as

>>16593344I thought most vikings had tattoos
>>16592336No, because all of this ebin viking lore is second and third hand accounts (usually the latter) from Christian sources.
>>16593430It's from the ANE (see: Quachics)
Why do people think Islam is some sort of macho tough guy religion?Our prophet wasn't some super chad. He was a gentle and sensitive man who expressed his emotions readily and he was introverted and modest. And he said that good manners was one of the most important parts of Islam.He helped out with the housework of his wives and cooked and cleaned for them as well.He never hit children or said a rude word to anyone.He even spared the entirety of the Mecca when he conquered it bloodlessly.And no just because he fought others who were trying to kill him and his people doesn't mean he was some sort of evil alpha male type.

>>16593757All German reports (let alone post-war fairy tales kek) were basically propaganda and we know that Hitler himself was being lied to and had only vague idea of what's going on in his empire but this is all we've got. Btw, if the ratio in the OP bait was true than the Krauts would have won the Eastern front as the Soviets did not out-produce them _that much_.
Found this picture on my grandads wall (he's a religious roman Catholic) and just wondering
>>16593641Could be Greek Catholic
>>16593641Catholics like to use Orthodox imagery.
>>16593641Looks AI generated
>>16593641As much as die-hards hate it, religious iconography is transmitted between the 2 to this day, and there isn't anything uncanonical about using the opposite style of art, as long as the saints are recognized by your side.But i think it's originally orthodox.

>>16592861The rat race critique has been around since the 80s anon, probably earlier if you care to look. Capital is all well and good and wealth is nice but people are happy to make a decent wage to survive on and accrue some wealth to retire on while they do the thing they enjoy, rather than making more money than they will ever need at a job they hate.
>>16593741>He bought some meat grinder from Romania, still worksThat's a terrible way to talk about your mother anon
>>16593741I don't know how it was in the Warsaw Pact countries, but in the USSR you had to apply for an exit visa which was hard to obtain because KGB did a background check on you and if there was anything out of the ordinary (a job in the MIC, no family, bad characteristics from school/uni/work) you'd be denied automatically.

>>16593483>Actually, I still couldn't find him criticizing the globe He explicitly says that it can not be round, because then the antipodes would exist, so he says it can't be round. There's no other way around it. If you can't read such a basic text then I'm not surprised you bought into Bible bullshit that easily.> I imagine you are conflating this with a spherical earth because in your ignorance you are not aware ancients did not understand gravity Non sequitur. Either way that's a generalization. Aristoteles didn't understand gravity, Lucretius (who was an Epicurean and follower of Democritus) held that object fall because of a force not very different from that of gravity, still not accurate, but closer to the truth than Aristoteles, not that it matters, Lactantius actually beliebed in Arisotelean physics AND in a not round world.>I did however find him calling the earth "this globe of ours" Understanding irony is beyond the peanut brain of an autistic JW tier NPC like you, not surprising, just another example of a tard who can't read a text longer than one line.
>>16593483"But if the earth also were round, it must necessarily happen that it should present the same appearance to all parts of the heaven; that is, that it should raise aloft mountains, extend plains, and have level seas. And if this were so, that last consequence also followed, that there would be no part of the earth uninhabited by men and the other animals. Thus the rotundity of the earth leads, in addition, to the invention of those suspended antipodes.But if you inquire from those who defend these marvellous fictions"So he's calling the rotundity of the Earth and the antipodes (so basically Australians and the likes) "marvelous fictions", just to spell it out to you, saying that the Earth CAN'T be round (so your based trad churchfatherino was againt what pretty much all ancient authors who spoke about this matter after Eratosthenes agreed upon), because well, people would fall down! People can't walk upside down!.Hence he was completely wrong, hence you're a retard, a Christurd NPC defending his epic churchfather daddy, and now you've even lost your fake nauseating cloying quasi-Mormonesque attitude as you've been exposed as a retard, you can only spew your bitter rants against atheists who are all evil and arrogant because they don't take what your beloved pastor or apologist youtuber spews seriously.
>>16593752>>16593779It's interesting that you would choose to double down after being exposed, as if to multiply your embarrassment, presumably because you cannot contain yourself in the face of an opportunity to deceive and screech.>He explicitly says that it can not be roundDo they no longer teach what the word "explicit" means to high school students? You have an argument for him saying earth is flat. It is a terrible desire predicated on your psychotic urge to mock, demean, deride and defame. However, even if your argument held water it would still not be "explicit". Explicit would be if he said the very words "earth is not round, earth is flat". >because then the antipodes would existNo, he did not believe antipodes exist.>If you can't read such a basic textIt's really embarrassing to make these kinds of accusations when anyone with eyes can see it actually applies to you.>Non sequitur.If you think it is, then I wouldn't be surprised if you don't understand gravity either. What does "down" mean?>Lactantius actually beliebed in Arisotelean physics Aristotelian physics does not include a flat earth>Understanding irony is beyond the peanut brain of an autistic JW tier NPC like you, not surprising, just another example of a tard who can't read a text longer than one line.No argument?Comment too long.

From a historical and theological standpoint? I believe in Apostolic Succession but I’m not sure which Church is “The Church”.
>>16592120>>16593630Here are a few more triadic statements in the Bible just to give a few examples:"By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth."(Psalm 33:6)"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."(John 4:23-24)"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:"(John 15:26)"But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?Comment too long.

>>16592125>Apostles and their successors literally concocted the bible because the have the authority to do soNo, your masters are not "their successors", nor does any man have the authority to "concoct" the bible because it is the word of God. It derives its authority entirely from God its author, and is bestowed upon the Church (which passively receives it) by His free will.

Was there any sort of international reaction to the ethnic cleansing if Königsberg as it happened? What was the Soviet justification? And so modern communists still think this was ok? They always talk about “settler colonialism,” does this count?
>>16593498>Was Churchill really ok with the utter destruction of a cultured European city by communist hordes?The idea was literally proposed by Winston Churchill. "Expulsion is the method which, insofar as we have been able to see, will be the most satisfactory and lasting. There will be no mixture of populations to cause endless trouble... A clean sweep will be made. I am not alarmed by the prospect of disentanglement of populations, not even of these large transferences, which are more possible in modern conditions than they have ever been before."
>>16593549One of the ironies is that Stalinism ended up recreating the ethnic cleansing policies of the fascists in a watered-down form. The post-war Polish government under communist control expelled Ukrainians and talked about it like they were building a Polish ethno-state.On the other hand, there's also the complicated legacy of the Soviet "reconquest" of ceded Russian imperial territories. Poland, the Baltic nations, and Finland were all major centers of the revolution... the counter-revolutionaries just massacred all the communists who didn't flee to Russia. There's a version of NATO chauvinism that refuses to acknowledge anyone in these countries could've been sympathetic to communism/Soviets.
>>16593498Heh.>The next RAF raid occurred three days later on the 29/30 August. This time No. 5 Group dropped 480 tons of high explosive and incendiaries on the centre of the city. RAF Bomber Command estimated that 20% of industry and 41% of all the housing in Königsberg was destroyed. >In 1945, the prolonged battle of Königsberg inflicted further damage. When the Soviets occupied the city in April 1945, more than 90% of the city was already destroyed. Not much was left when the 'communist hordes' took the city.
In retrospect it was an atrocitybut at the time, after two world wars in back to back generations, people (and not only on the left - consider the Benes' decrees namesake) were more than happy to expel Germans and shrink Germany by any means necessary
>>16593720Königsberg castle survived to a degree, that is before the Soviets demolished it
Were the native’s real as brutal as this Cormac presents in “Blood Meridian” ?
