You want a true capitalist meritocracy? Abolish inheritance, and provide universal health care. Starting off a round of monopoly with daddy's money does not a meritocracy make. Having to struggle with health problems you can't afford to mitigate does not a meritocracy make.
I am not trolling. Capitalism will reach its final and most unstoppable form if you abolish inheritance, and provide universal health care.

How were young men of fighting age who never served in the military treated during the world wars? Were they seen as cowards?
Example: scientists, engineers, skilled tradesmen and technicians, men essential to the homefront, men with medical issues

Their capital is the historic capital of the Persians you fuckwit. Seleucia-Ctesiphon was only a little bit away from modern Baghdad, and Baghdad was established by the Persian Abbasids. Damascus is the real capital of the Arabs, and you could pretty much say all the same in this about Syria.

Why did the 20th century go so horribly wrong for Russia?
>Loses Crimean War
>Loses Russo-Japanese War
>Collapses during WW1 despite being on the winning side
>Almost loses WW2 because of Stalin's purges
>Succeeds in conquering most of eastern Europe at huge cost
>Economy stagnates because communism, etc.
>Spends decades playing spy vs. spy against American, loses
>Collapses again, losing all WW2 gains in the process
>Ends up with less territory than it started with at the beginning of the century.
How could this happen?

Do you ever wonder what the world would be like if Sweden remained a great power and won the great northern war? Obviously peter III wouldn't have been born since the duke of holstien would have never had to flee to russia and marry whoever he married (Her name escapes me at the moment) And Prussia would have likely lost the 7 years war because Russia would have stayed in and assisted Austria. Other than that I wonder how future events in the world would go. I am almost 100% sure that the world wars would have still happened but what side would Sweden have took? Could they have turned the tide for a nazi or communist victory or would the victory be the same side with Swedes invading from the north? perhaps the Swedes would have fallen to whoever the main combatant in the second world war would have been ect. Please discuss because this seems like an interesting topic

Sweden's territorial expanse came largely from clever politics and weakened neighbours. They'd sink into obscurity as other European powers boom in population, whilst Sweden's cold temperatures and lack of good land kept its population low. Eventually Russia would push them over.

Was he wrong in his absolute trust of Anglo-Americans?
Did he doom future generations of his people? Or did he realize they were doomed regardless and he just took steps necessary for what little survival they could achieve?

>The Lord of Sipán (El Señor de Sipán) is the name given to the first of several Moche mummies found at Huaca Rajada, Sipán, Peru by archaeologist Walter Alva. The site was discovered in 1987.
>Scientific analysis of the skeleton of the Lord of Sipán show that he was approximately 1.63 meters tall and was about 35–45 years old at the time of his death. His jewelry and ornaments, which included headdresses, a face mask, a pectoral, (the pectoral was gold and had the head of a man and the body of an octopus) necklaces, nose rings, ear rings and other items, indicate he was of the highest rank.[1] Most of the ornaments were made of gold, silver, copper and semi-precious stones.

Its a woman being buried with her husbands stuff most likely. We have tons of contemporary written sources about vikings and no mention of female warriors except one which might have just been them arming camp followers as a desperate measure and is a byzantine source if I remember right. It certainly wasnt a normal practice or it would have been written about by the viking themselves.

ok so this makes perfect sense to me. My only question is why doesnt it make sense to the people at national geographic? Are they really trying to push some stronk woman agenda that strongly?

What actually happened during this time? The only source of early Hungarian history was literally written by a 13th century Anon and 90% of it is probably bullshit.

The main reason why I stopped going to church as a teen was that I felt as if I never learned anything. Whatever the pastors talked about on their sermons, week after week, it was never anything new to me, whether they were expounding on a parable and talking about how a good Christian should act, it all seemed like either lessons that I had already learned from other sources, or we just incredibly obvious shit that it would have never occurred to me to behave in any other way.
Does anyone here know that feel? Was I a pretentious kid? Did I just go to bad churches?
