Well, yeah, they did. They did trade a lot.

Guess who ruled India before the British came.

The did quite a bit, the Arabs invented their own numeral system and ended up dropping it in favor of the Indian numeral system that they saw while receiving trade goods. The Iranians and other various tribes made for a very strong barrier to direct contact. And piracy was a big thing in the Horn of Africa even back then. A lot stood to keep the from constant contact

Sure, it's basically a law code for self governance without any type of government. Whether or not you think it would work or that groups of powerful individuals banding together to enforce these principals(Kind of like a gov) is actually still anarchist is another ballpark completely.

>>2849074
Came to ask the same question. I've read Rothbard on subject and he kind of addresses most questions about ancap. It's a way to be able to defend yourself without your neighbor being afraid of your aggression .

I re-wrote this post several times because this stuff is still new to me. So, basically: you've got a gun. If you shoot anybody, you have to account for your actions to the court and the victim (if he's alive) or his relatives. Hired private guards still do it, then you have to confirm you gave them orders to do so. If you manage to confirm your actions were a justified retaliation, there is no penalty. Your property is an extension of your body - but empty land isn't property, only something valuable you created with your efforts on that land.

Romania

>The Romans try to play nice with the Dacians in order to get access to their vast gold reserves (the mountains were loaded with it), but are fucked over so many times that Trajan comes in and becomes Romania's new founding father nearly 2000 years later
>Daco-Romanians are overrun by Slavs but somehow manage to convince these niggers to speak a Slacivized Latin instead
>The Daco-Slavo-Romanians somehow survive centuries of being ruled over by Bulgars, Hungarians, and later the Ottomans (though, when not retarded, they all tended to ally against the Turks)
>They decide to say "Fuck it, let's unify," at which point they drop all heritage beyond the Roman one, become francophiles, import as much as they can from France ranging from politics to philosophy, and switch over from cyrillic (this changes later when nationalism becomes stronger, and people want to RP as Dacians)
>They side with the right people during WW1 and are rewarded with Transylvania, and Romania is now fucking huge on the right path, while Hungarians get FacialAbuse'd by Anglos and the rest
>They decide that since Germany started WW1 and ended up destroying their country and legacy, that we want that too, and they'd probably make the best allies for WW2, and after a lot of in-fighting, the Commies storm in and take over, until the Revolution in 1989 (which I think is the only one done by force that ended with the dictator being executed by the people)

Well he was a hardcore Catholic.

Because Rome was overrun by barbarians(Germanics) and they mixed Latin with germanic languages.

While Greece has always been Greek.

>>2847625
This sorta reads like a shitpost but the answer is simple so I'll reply anyway: Greek changed just as much as Latin did. Latin was spread over a wider area, so its various dialects developed in relative isolation from each other, which is why we call them different languages today. Modern Greek is as different from Attic Greek as Italian is from Latin - moreso, actually.

(It's not quite true that Greek wasn't spread over as wide an area as Latin - it was very widespread for a long time thanks to the various Hellenic empires. It's more that Latin REMAINED the lingua franca in Italy, Iberia, Gaul etc, whereas Greek was replaced by other languages in North Africa and Asia etc.)

>>2847625
Greece is a lot smaller than Italy, they also placed a lot more value in their own culture than the romans did.

The Romans were ok with letting barbarians speak whatever language they wanted and do whatever they wanted with Latin, the Greeks wouldn't ever consider you worthy of being a citizen in their civilization if you couldn't speak proper Greek and act like a proper Greek.

Then there's the whole thing about how there was never a single latin, and how vulgar latin was always more common, and how the Roman aristocracy didn't even spoke latin at some point.

And then in the modern era the turks took Greece for a bit, so when Greece gained independence they kind of forced the ancient Greek language back into relevance.

Germans are burgers.

>>2847432
These actually used to change a lot, you'll laugh but Germany was once seen as emotional and romantic while the French were cold and distant

Fucking Americans and their stupidity

They'd be attracted, but they might think our standards of beauty are a bit weird.

Nothing. It just proves how flimsy definitions of whiteness are. Originally it was just rich Englishmen in Virginia.

>Originally it was just rich Englishmen in Virginia.
Even people Whiter than them weren't White.

We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana, as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes to be changed into WINE; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy!

Because you think the holocaust was fake, thereby going against established history, by which you are then free to seek your own path, from this you find ways to justify your anti Semitism, and to disprove their claims of origin.
Just look at the Nazis planting pots with swaztikas on them

The current "Jews" are objectively Khazars. They admit it themselves, just read Shlomo Sand and Koestler.

>>2845361
and the holocaust is a meme too right friend?

>Why didn't Japan recieve firearms from China earlier?
In hindsight, given what Japan would do with those firearms, the Chinese may have done the right thing.

>>2845136
Chinese weapons were utter garbage lad.

>>2845136
Because they were primeval barbariens before 19 century.

>>2844738
no the romans built a massive ramp up onto an empty plateau to fuck with future historians lmao

>According to Kenneth Atkinson, there is no "archaeological evidence that Masada's defenders committed mass suicide."[20]

>>2844738

According to Josephus. So if you accept historical Jesus, you accept Masada.

>>2844452
It is pretty accurate. While personally I have a lot of Muslim friends and they are just normal Americans who smoke weed and don't even pay attention to this shit, there are millions of Muslims who are radical. The daily terrorist attacks at mosques and churches should show you that Radical Islam is no joke in the middle east.

This is not a humanities question.

This is a politics question.

I understand that discussion on /pol/ sucks, but it sucks because of people like you.

No, the past was generally a shit.

No. The past is a nice place to visit via books and museums, but I kinda like the idea of penicillin, clean water and dental surgery with anaesthetic too much.

Post wwII america up until the 80s. My grandpa bought two houses just from plating meals in a restaurant. He had an eight grade education. Fuck that faggot I swear.
