tf? The work he did laid the foundation of modern mathematics and physics. He's arguably the most accomplished scientist/intellectual of all time, hardly wasted potential.

If he was not assassinated, Octavius would not have risen to greatness - and that would've denied Julius' glory by extension.

Julius was predestined to die and it was precisely because he died that he was a great leader.

He and his army murdered and raped millions of whites. He was an honorary nigger. Prove me wrong

He's great.

Gets carried away in the storytelling, sometimes exaggerates or embellishes.

You could do a lot worse but as always it's better to read an academic journal or peer-reviewed history book.

Like he repeatedly states: he's not an historian; he's an enthusiast. A good entertaining overview of stuff, and then check out his bibliography if you're interested in the topic and want more scholarly take.

Koresh the kid fucker.

The ATF really fucked up the initial investigation, the FBI fucked up the raid, and they fucked up royally with the final assault.

But the Branch Davidians set the fire.

Granted, the FBI had been booming loud music at them for so long that they were likely sleep deprived to the point of insanity, and then they followed it up by reenacting the juicy "end of days" parts of the Bible in front of a bunch of Christian fundamentalists.

>Is Araboo the most obscure -boo in existence?
Not even close as Arab culture is spread around the whole world.

9/11 left a scare on all of us during our formative years causing us to welcome our conquerors with open arms.

It's extremely common in areas where primitives encountered rich Arab traders.

West Africa, Southeast Asia, Central Asia.

Or we could always use the stick!

Pile on the brown man's burden
To gratify your greed;
Go, clear away the "niggers"
Who progress would impede;
Be very stern, for truly
'Tis useless to be mild
With new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.

Pile on the brown man's burden;
And, if ye rouse his hate,
Meet his old-fashioned reasons
With Maxims up to date.
With shells and dumdum bullets
A hundred times made plain
The brown man's loss must ever
Imply the white man's gain.

Pile on the brown man's burden,
compel him to be free;
Let all your manifestoes
Reek with philanthropy.
And if with heathen folly
He dares your will dispute,
Then, in the name of freedom,
Don't hesitate to shoot.

Pile on the brown man's burden,
And if his cry be sore,
That surely need not irk you--
Ye've driven slaves before.
Seize on his ports and pastures,
The fields his people tread;
Go make from them your living,
And mark them with his dead.

Pile on the brown man's burden,
And through the world proclaim
That ye are Freedom's agent--
There's no more paying game!
And, should your own past history
Straight in your teeth be thrown,
Retort that independence
Is good for whites alone

>>2648892
Define "fear"

>>2648892
Not sure desu

Speaking as someone who's had to (and I guess still is) facing uncertainty over his life, I can say you can definitely rise over the fear and carry on living once you accept the inevitability of it. Like they say, courage is not the absence of fear but the ability to rise above it. It's cliche but there is some truth to it.

Just a way for propagandists to ramp up hatred for the Germans.

Why did they fast and follow the Jews?
Because most early Christians were Jews.

>Why did it seem that Paul is ok with works and ignore the fact that Jesus died for our sins which we deserve?
Because Paul was writing 1500 years before sola fide was a thing.

>Why did the key figures of early Christianity after the Apostles appear to be some sort of proto-catholic?
Because their theology would go on to become Catholic orthodoxy.

Birth rates. The Romans lost theirs much like other more modern civilizations.

There is considerable evidence to show that Roman society in the late Republic and early Empire was afflicted by a low birth-rate. Augustus in 18 B.C. found it necessary to pass the "lex Iulia de maritandis ordinibus" in the hope of raising the birth-rate by
penalizing the unmarried and the childless.

In 9 A.D. he attempted to supplement this law with the "lex Papia Poppaea". The very existence of this legislation indicates that the problem of childlessness was widespread and long-Iasting.

Frankly, Romans stopped getting married and having kids pretty much en masse across the Empire.

These provisions didn't work of course but it shows the lengths rulers were willing to go to in order to attempt to halt the decline.
