Yes but the two do cross over very much so, especially in times like the 1890's and early 20th century. Emperor Meiji managed a very successful modernisation campaign while keeping his nation distinctly Japanese (despite destroying the samurai and oppressing groups like the Ainu) but nevertheless despite that approach towards modernisation many western ideas were adapted anyway, like colonialism. The Young Turk modernist revolution brought little westernisation while attempting to bring modernity to the Ottoman Empire compared to Ataturk's modernisation which was heavily bringing western ideas into Turkey.

I do feel there is a difference but the time when modernisation started occurring in a lot of countries (Meiji Japan) Western ideals were almost expected to come with that as so much of the world looked towards places like Britain, France and Germany for modern ideas.

To Meiji and the Meiji oligarchs, there wasn't really much difference. The Meiji period was a time when Japanese leaders believed that if they didn't upgrade their country to Western standards, then they would be immediately vulnerable to attack, this meant such frivolous things as banning shougo, (woodblock porn) separating baths based on gender, and enforcing European dress at the Imperial court. Meiji leaders would have turned Japan into a carbon copy of Europe if they had stayed alive and in power long enough to do so. Everyone who was anyone was wearing, reading, and consuming Western things and products. manner.

The degree to which the Meiji Oligarchs suppressed traditional cultures and westernized the country was almost a direct cause of the fanatical, militaristic, ultranationalist reaction that occurred in the 1930's, but it was also what allowed Japan to gain a diplomatic, economic, military and technological footing in the world.

None. I am pretty much perfect.

Extra History is comfy viewing and for the most part accurate, nothing to feel guilty about OP

Conscription and experience in army

Blue haired biddies weren't around everywhere to police everyone's thoughts, you could have a casual conversation about the coming race war and the Jewish lobby while casually sipping a beer or taking a book out from a library

Gladiators. Professional Roman venatores are probably responsible over the centuries for wiping out more species than anybody else.

Because Plato was rich as fuck. Socratese was poor and also a black african.

Socrates went around bugging the shit out of people just trying to do their jobs. Plato started a school to get all that nonsense confined to an are away from other citizens. Plus Aristophanes didn't make a play about Plato being a doddering old sophist.

>>2734494
Because the athenians didnt actually want to kill socrates, some of them just wanted to put him in his place a bit but he forced their hand with the way he defended himself

Plato on the other hand was rich not half as much an idealogue as socrates

If they claim it to be 1 million in a single battle, then it is obviously exaggeration. However, to say that throughout his campaigns in the Persian Empire he defeated multiple armies at multiple battles/sieges eventually totalling 1 million or more is not really out of the question in my opinion. They were able to gather quite large armies, they were just ill-equipped and often poorly organized on the battlefield.

But that's throughout the course of an entire war. That happened a lot. I'm talking about all at once.
I'm not surprised that the Persian armies were just hordes, but reading through his conquests it seems like his scholars would overstate his enemies forces (and the amount of soldiers that were killed) and would understate Alexander's own hits.

I looked online for anybody that was talking about it but I couldn't find much.

Islam is both a religion and a political system. There is no room for democracy.

Depends on what you mean by Islam and what you mean by democracy.

Political Islam, and liberal democracy.

The Amish are more degenerate than I thought...

After the Amish communities get culturally enriched by Syrian and African refugees, they will no longer be the sick oppressive and bigoted communities that they are today.

= You make it seem so weak, this self that can recognize its surroundings, that can acknowledge its influences - as if its very awareness were not enough to defeat these forces of the outside. In truth, the dignity of your self is in its strength of overcoming - of seeing the powers that would manipulate it, and agreeing or refusing to be so controlled. =

≠ So simple it must be, believing in this “truth” - that the self is at peace when unforced from outside. Can you conceive, though, the torture that inflicts from within - your own inner nature, that compels you to be thus and not otherwise? It is no less enslavement, to uncontrollably want what you do - to function suchwise, without designing so - when any integrity of rebellion would be launched against your very innateness of self. ≠

= You twist and knot yourself; do you desire to be deranged? If your self can disturb itself from contentment, then your self can restore itself also. How can you be alienated from your own self? How can you resist your very nature that makes resistance possible? You are here, you are thus - this is given. You are aware, you are thus - this is freedom. =

Both of his parents committed suicide and he spent most of his career as a banker. Weird guy.

Probably this.

And the fetishisation of 'democracy' by the French and American revolutions.
