How is it that a continent like Australia, which for all intents and purposes had significantly worse conditions than Africa, was able to thrive? Soil, climate, geography, natural resources, etc.. are all worse in Australia yet they succeeded. Is there maybe another variable here that researchers aren't accounting for?

Certainly William of Orange is at least slightly more important.

Try SCA first and go from there. They're probably more newbie friendly and can get you started faster so you can decide if it's something that you actually like without spending too much.

Most books don't have that sort of detail typically. I recommend PDFs of thesis's and dissertations as well as seeking archival papers.

I feel bad now because I have read a dozen books on the topic but can't recollect the names.

Also JSTOR is great.

I kind of like Adorno and his take on critical theory, even if /pol/sters complain about "muh evil cultural Marxism undermimimg western values"

Any fans of analytical marxism?

Proper reconstruction would be removing the dindus from America forever but of course the southern cuckold Andrew Johnson prevendet it.

OK

The fix was easy enough for the religious leaders of that time period. They changed “thyself” in the first part of Jesus’ response to “the Lord thy God.”

Once the people were convinced that they had to give up loving their own self in order to love and serve God as Jesus said was the FIRST GREATEST COMMANDMENT (whatever this God was or whatever this God wanted by command and interpretation of the religious leaders), the people were much easier to control.

GODDAMN, religion is a crock of HOLY SHIT!

If I had lived back then … and maybe I did as another man, who knows, Right? … and I could have convinced people that I was sent by God to teach them God’s will, that I was one of “the prophets” of whom Jesus spoke, these are the kinds of things I would have told the people:

(Yep, this is all Isaiah:)

“Thus saith the Lord thy God:

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: you have all forsaken the true Lord, you have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, because you are all gone away backward.

Why should ye allow yourselves to be stricken any more? Will ye revolt more and more: the whole head is sick. The head is those who claim that they are my leaders who lead you in my ways. And the head causeth the whole heart to be faint.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in my people; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. The people who claim to be my people are no better than the people of Sodom and of Gomorrah.

Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom, ye who are the head; and give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

To what purpose and use is your religious ordinances and practices? To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of your pretended sacrifices, of your ordinances, of your meetings, of our counsels, of your temples, churches, and places of worship. Ye do not worship me. Ye do not know me.

Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth in that they claim to believe in me and keep my word, and with their lips do honor me, they have removed their faint heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precepts of men, even those men who are the sickened head.

When ye come to appear before me at your gatherings, at your churches, in your temples, who hath required these things at your hand, to tread my courts?

Bring no more vain oblations to me; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

And when ye spread forth your hands and pray unto me, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear.

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do well. Doing well before me is seeking judgment for the poor, relieving the oppressed, judging the fatherless, pleading for the widow.

CEASE YE FROM MAN, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?”

Yeah, I would pretty much tell the people that ALL of their religious belief and bullshit church work and ordinances is … BULLSHIT. And the ONLY thing that they should be doing to prove their love for God is to TREAT EACH OTHER GOOD AND TAKE CARE OF ALL THOSE IN NEED.

How does one feel when one helps another person in need? One feels good inside, not from any feeling that a god gives to them, but from a natural response of their own brain. This feeling of good is empowering. It is self-serving. It is the way that we can love our unique self with all of our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our mind. It is a feeling and closeness to the TRUE GOD.

GOD I FUCKING HATE RELIGION, ESPECIALLY RELIGIOUS LEADERS OR ANYONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE CONNECTED TO GOD AND RECEIVES INSTRUCTION FROM GOD FOR OTHERS! Gaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwddddddd!!!!!

But anyways …

How’s your day going?

The Antonine Plague killed a good 10% of the entire Empire, more in the cities, and even more in the legions. This severely damaged the economy in the west beyond repair, and forever subordinated it to the East and Byzantium.

>what if the empire never recovered and splintered apart during the crisis?

Hard to say. Without the Tetrarchy and Dominate, quite a few things could have turned out drastically different.

After the plague the crisis was pretty much unavoidable in some form or another, and nobody - not Marcus Aurelius or anyone else - could have done anything to stop it. The factors at work were just on too large a scale, like population movements, climate change, the Roman agricultural and economic situation, and the ever-present issue of succession.

The crisis is such a clear break from classical antiquity. Everything from about 270 onwards just looks and feels so utterly different to what came before it, I'm really surprised it's as little known and underappreciated as it is.

Also without Aurelian, the empire would likely have fallen much sooner. The west just wasn't able to survive without the rest of the Empire to prop it up. But the state centred on Palmyra in the east would probably have lasted as long as they held onto Egypt - so theoretically indefinitely. No idea about the "middle" third of the empire, but it had to deal with the Danube which was the longest frontier, so it likely would have been overrun much as the west.

>10% of the entire Empire, more in the cities,
SOUNDS RIGHT, CONSIDERING MOST PEOPLE DIDN'T LIVE IN CITIES.

I don't know but /his/ mods just banned phone posting new threads so my question is going to go in this thread.

How is it that a continent like Australia, which for all intents and purposes had significantly worse conditions than Africa, was able to thrive? Soil, climate, geography, natural resources, etc... are all worse in Australia yet they succeeded. Is there maybe another variable here that researchers aren't accounting for?

>>3378314
This is exactly why mods just banned phone posting new threads.
