The problem with this is the Sh*a who would regress the world by five centuries with their zindiq, majoosi filth

Christian Protestantism is bad. Muslim Protestantism (Wahhabism) is even worse.

>>2512513
I would definitely say religious uniformity among squabbling European fiefdoms would've progressed the world as we know it atleast quicker to what it is today.
I also believe that a form of Enlightenment would eventually reach Islam, atleast starting in Europe or from Europeans studying in Arabic academia.
Just my two cent contribution of ideas.

>Would you say its unethical to eat an animal you havent killed yourself?
No.

>>2512497
why do I need to show respect? also, in order to avoid trivializing other complex creatures into nothing but a tasty afterthought, should I shoot my own porn too?

>>2512497
It's unethical if ethical alternatives like fruits and vegetables exist anon. Animals are sentient just like humans, both have a heart, brain (central nervous system) and feel pain. Thus, if killing animals is alright, then so should killing humans, since they're both sentient.

Nobody has yet provided an actual source for that statement.

It is contested as being an invention by a nationalist Serb historian.

But the context is that a fuckload of Croat soldiers fought in the Thirty Years War and some of them were at the sack of Sack of Magdeburg.

However, so were Hungarians, Croats, Spaniards, Poles, Italians, Frenchmen, Germans, and others so blaming it all on the Croats because they had the balls to storm the walls first is kinda lazy.

>>2512445
Croats are notorious for having poor health and insatiable appetites, so having them over as guests is pretty much the equivalent of the previous two afflictions.

>>2512469

> Croats are notorious for having poor health

Those would be the Montenegrins, not the Croats.

Yes? Every day is a fucking turning point.

what im asking is what is the long lasting effect on the world because of this specific form of communist state developing

Venetians already had numerous colonies across the Mediterranean, or Stato da Mar as they called it, The Domains of the Sea. These included Crete, Corfu, Cyprus, Negroponte, and other various smaller islands. The Genoans had holdings in Crimea, through which they controlled their share of trade from the east.

There are many obvious reasons. First of all, the Americas are too far away for Italians to bother at all. Even if they tried something, the Spaniards would've easily blocked the Gibraltar if they sensed that Italians are making a move in the New World.
Secondly, their shipbuidling was based on light ships like galleys, which were extremely suitable for an inner sea like the Mediterranean. Unlike the Portugese, Italians weren't skilled navigators in high seas voyages, but they were masters of the navigation inside the Mediterranean, probably the best ever. Any Venetian or Genoan venture across the Atlantic would've failed miserably.

Basically the Italians already had for centuries what other Europeans desired so much and because of which they embarked to look for India westwards in the first place - spices, silk, and other luxury goods. Trade with the East was their lifeblood, and abandoning it for some risky adventure westwards would be suicidal. Not even the Ottoman expansion could've stopped Venetian necessity to trade there, that's why they fought so bitterly with Ottomans for centuries, not because of some religious motives, but because of money.

Marx was wrong about everything

Weber was wrong about protestantism and capitalism.

Their conceptions of modernity are outdated and wrong.

Because the Other religions weren't started by a Pedophile retard

Who is this 'everyone' you are talking about? Do you have a source on them laughing at a religion?

How could such a thing even exist? Libertarianism itself is a result of classical liberalism being entirely consumed by the left wing.

>>2511941
It's called anarchism and communalism now

>>2511951
But (at least in the U.S.) the mainstream "left wing" has shifted away from labor/social democracy and become much more liberal in the last 20-30 years.

A lot of it was inherited more as a coup than a direct military conquest. The Persians moved in and took over as the dominant power in what was previously a Median empire, which itself was mostly taken more or less intact from the Assyrian empire.

And having that kind of power base without the endemic revolts that the previous two "dynasties" had gave him a lot to work with.
