what does selfish mean?

Pathological altruism is a thing. Therefore no.

Humans are inherently a lot of things

>lead hundreds of thousand of Turks to their deaths
>pretty much singehandedly brought down the Ottoman empire
>then tried the same shit with Ataturk's newly formed state but Kermal saw through his lies and had him exiled
>and the best part is that he wasn't even a Turk
>his dad was from the Balkans and his mom belonged to a Greek Orthodox minority
This guy was basically Alcibiades reincarnated.

All ancient places were shitty to live in. Modern places twenty years ago were shitty to live in for that matter. And if you lived fifty years from now life today would be hell for you too.

It's an "Ancient Greece" just means anything from the Solonic Reforms until the Battle of Corinth rather than Greece throughout all antiquity episode

>fifty years from now life today would be hell for you too.

The 1960s were not hell on earth

Bronze Age everything.
European Middle Ages.

>>2467412
Late antiquity easily

>Massive migrations that ultimately gave birth to modern Europe
>Fall of WRE, ending antiquity in the West
>Rise of Islam, killing Persia and cutting the balls off the ERE, ending antiquity in the East
>Permanent severing of the Mediterranean cultural unit

It was a monumental paradigm shift whose impact can still be seen today.

World War 1 era

We were well past the stone age and still moving forward by the time Christ came around.

Europe was a superpower before Christ, Europe was a fractured shithole after Christ; Europe then went on to become an even greater superpower than it was before Christ came.

The question is mostly irrelevant. Although I'd argue that Christianity has been a positive introduction to European history, saying it steamrolled European civilization is partisan and untrue. It belongs with armchair conservative historians who believe that science and the abolition of slavery were the direct results of Christianity, and were only achieved because of its introduction.

>>2467279
No. Europe made Christianity relevant, not the other way around. Latin America, and some African countries are Christian and they're shit holes.

Because Sherman and his merry band of looters pillaged all they came across for one, they'd been under naval blockade for a couple years, most fighting age men went to go fight, and because theit economy was based on slavery and once that was taken away they didn't really have much to do besides farm

>>2467246
But I mean like why wasn't there an immediate resistance? Contrast to the Iraq war, which had a pretty fast turn around.

>>2467239
Because they got their revenge by killing Lincoln

women don't care for spiritualism and virtue as much as men.

>there were actors dressed as Romans at a Roman place
>does this mean it's ok to dress as a Roman at the Trafford Centre?

Yes, turbo autistic.

>Would it be autistic to go everywhere dressed as a Roman soldier?

Yes.

>Do you think people would make fun of you

Yes.

>or even beat you up? Maybe even send you to jail?

Doubt it, but probably also depends on where you live. You might get in trouble walking around with a sword though.

>I went to Diocletian's palace in Split last summer and there were dudes dressed as Roman soldiers. Got me thinking.

I had a job once where I worked as a reenactor. So I'd be walking around in a napoleonic war uniform. Lots of people wanted to take pictures and ask questions, a few people sniggered at me or had a laugh at my expense, nobody ever assaulted me. Bayonet probably helped as a deterrent, though.
If you were dressed as a Roman in a city that has nothing to do with the Romans you'd probably get more weird looks, but most people would assume you were on your way somewhere like a convention, play, etc.

>>2466493
That and a lot of places might have an issue with you walking around with a sword.

>>2465990
yes

Because the Chinese are really good at numbers fuckery while Russia is under so much scrutiny that a single missed decimal point will have foreign watchdogs screeching from the rooftops.

If you've actually read Stirner you would knwo he doesn't advocate for "being a selfish prick all the time". But you haven't, you're just another wikistorian shitting up this board.
