cease, sis - seize the sin
Them Germans and the Frenchies
Put on Pluders and wear stockings.
Antichristian love they proclaim
And carry their balls in the open.
Mugs in powders and fondants,
Lice in their wigs, claps in asses.
might be my favourite song to translate so far
Time for some edumacation
Alright faggots
But what does it mean?
bruh, that linear history though
History is linear by definition
*multiple people are typing* 😂
idk
dont think about stuff like that very often
People argue history is cyclical because there are many elements of human society and behaviour that are
But I don't think history itself is cyclical
cyclical just means that it tends to move in patterns
@Eccles duh
Predictable, repeatable patterns is what it implies, June
Noone that says that thinks it's literally repeating itself
Nor am I arguing that
a concept rooted in a cyclical notion of history would be asabiyyah for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asabiyyah#Overview
I would imagine this is what the compass test AA came up with was testing
similar to the ideas of people like oswald spengler
who posited that civilizations are like superorganisms that go through certain phases of life just as organisms do
I've seen many such ideas before and had similar myself without prior prompting
They don't have much in the way of predictive power though
i dunno
spengler seemed to think that the west would enter into a phase of pre-death emergency in the 21st century
based off of his theories
Society and Civilisation isn't something that can be modelled easily, especially since it isn't a tangible thing in itself - it is the sum totality of all the other actors that are part of it
Everyone predicts catastrophe, it's what sells copies
the timing seems quite prescient, at least, and was rooted in patterns observed in historical civilizations
The only thing that could have been predicted with would make any sense is the set of issues were's now having as a result of global capitalism - the end game of capitalism and it's inevitable collapse
that is part of his model, in the sense that the 19th-21st centuries represented the ascendance of money politics, plutocracy, mirroring for example the two centuries preceding caesar in rome
So all we need now is someone to conquer Mars and his protege to become the emperor of mankind <:thinkgon:560211224923734026>
mars the red planet is already secretly ruled by cyborg stalin, the red tsar of space, silly goose
the soviet union didn't actually fight in ww2, their population losses came from soviet mars colonists
ye
smh basic histry
