Are we living in a time period of extraordinary historical significance?
No.
Fukuyama was right and 9/11 and Islamic terrorists are overblown in the grand scheme of things. Fight me.
>>2664358
Islamic terror is irrelevant but islamic immigration and population boom is not. But that's 25 year rule so this thread shouldn't exist.
Yes
Planes, trains, automobiles, and the internet have changed society forever. Imagine if the printing press, use of horses for transport, and boats were all "invented" within a century or so. Society would evolve incredibly quickly.
In most ways the 18th century is closer to ancient times than it is to today
How does Nazi Germany fucked up Western World forever?
Go away
And come back when you learn better english
>muh white guilt

Daily reminder that Nazi was the cause of all those things

Gotta be TR.
We desperately need that Bully spirit again.
Can we start a movement?
>>2664245
Preferably without the White Man's Burden and imperialist stuff.
You can best judge a man by his enemies. Franklin Delano Roosevelt has left stormniggers, wehraboos, and lolbertarians assblasted to this day
Who has been more detrimental for European civilization: the eternal Anglo or the eternal Kraut?
In terms of damage caused, easily the Anglo.
In terms of potential, we will never know, as the Anglo tends to attack the Kraut as much as anyone else.
Germans by far
>>2664137
The eternal kraut destroyed Europe at least 3 times. As shifty and beady eyed the Anglo is, it is nothing compared to the Krauts
"They re-write history, I don't believe in yesterday."
Is Kanye right? What are some real evidence of fuckery and rewriting in history. i.e "Holocaust didn't happen" or if it did happen and the jews are just blowing it out of proportion.
The gospel of John

Romans did that all the time.
Could a nation exist with just a bureaucracy alone with no democracy or a king or despot?
It's be a pain in the ass.
Legitimization is a key aspect of a government. Mesopotamians did it by building temples and stellae, democracies do it by holding elections.
Without a monarchy, a theocracy, or a democracy to provide legitimacy to the power structure, there would be a substantial risk of instability.
And without elections to provide some accountability for abuse of power, the government would likely become less and less interested in the rule of law over time.
>>2663841
NO.
A BUREAUCRATIC GOVERNMENT IS A GOVERNMENT IN DECAY, AND A DISINTEGRATING NATION, THUS, A GOVERNMENT THAT IS A PURE BUREAUCRACY, NECESSARILY ENTAILS A VIRTUALLY NONEXISTENT NATION.
>>2663841
That would be called a corporation.
Why is the horseshoe theory derided by political scientists? (Other than those on both teams).
its just bullshit some guy pulled out of his ass and political beliefs don't exist on a spectrum
>>2663784
It's simplistic and it's stuff we already know.
>Authoritarians are corrupt and torture innocents. I am a genuis!! xdxdxdxd

Is capitalism antidemocratic? Can it exist without a state?
I don't think it can, because capitalism requires fiat curreny
>>2663902
Then how did capitalism exist before fiat currency?
Our justice system revolves around who can sell bullshit to a jury of 12 morons better. It is wrong and must be abolished.

>I have no idea what I'm talking about, the post.
YOu do realize that bench trials are a thing? Are in fact quite common in civil trials, which are enormously more common than criminal trials? And that even before you get to trial, you have an enormously long and complicated pre-trial setup about what you can and can't bring in trial? Don't let TV fool you, those motions are where the battle is won or lost, 99.9% of all trials are foregone conclusions.
>>2663593
It's a terrible system but it's better than any alternative yet proposed.
>>2663593
Why can jurors let criminals who actually did the crime on camera plead not guilty?
Would germany had still been fascist if they didn't invade other countries?
>>2663541
Maybe, can't say for sure
>>2663541
Probably. Gommunism collapsed in Russia largely because of the mis-steps of Gorbachev, it's perfectly possible for Germany (or Russia) to have remained a dictatorship down to the modern day.
they weren't fascist, they were National Socialists.
Almost as bad as calling all radically left-wing governments "gommunis"
How did the Romans view the Egyptians? I'm talking about Egypt in both the ancient period (preceding Rome) and Egypt under Rome. Did they look up to them like people of the Middle Ages looked up to the Romans? How were they treated in the empire? I know Aegyptus was one of their richest provinces but were there e.g. any high ranking Romano-Egyptian officials?
idk much about this but i do know the romans kept the system the greeks had going on before them for citizenship so a native egyptian was treated harsher than a greek egyptian
they also had their vision of egypt completely molded by the greeks so
they did see them as an amazing ancient civilization of course
Greeks saw Egypt as a mysterious land full of sages. This is why of many Greek philosophers we have legends about they visiting and learning in Egypt.
I don't know what the Romans thought of ancient Egypt. About the Roman province of Aegyptus, though, we know it was considered as source of food.
>>2663534
They considered Egyptians to be effeminate homo sissies
They were utterly shocked at just how soft and prissy Egyptians were

Evolution is a fact though. You just look foolish to people who might otherwise take other elements of whatever your message is seriously.
How was Matthew a tax collector when his own Gospel clearly shows he couldn't count?
>12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
>13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
>14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
>15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
>16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
>17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
That's actually 13, but ok.

Top kek m8, you're at least 200 years behind on your theology there!

Always round up for maximum profit.
what are some good books on late antiquity?
preferably not boring. that doesn't necessarily mean having a narrative.. just something well written, and not boring.

The works of Peter Heather are pretty comprehensive
