Why were the Romans so into having sex with feminine looking men and little boys? Was it culturally not seen as that weird back then?
22 posts and 3 images submitted.

Depends on when you're talking about. By the reign of Augustus they were very sexually conservative. They swung a little in both directions over the centuries and by the reign of Majorian they were so puritanical that they made the actual puritans look like degenerate weirdos.

Comfort corrupts m8 we stand proof of that

Roman sexuality was determined by your position, not who you had sex with. Men who performed the dominant part of intercourse with another man were still straight, and women who performed the submissive part of intercourse with another woman were still straight. If a woman was dominant, or a man submissive, even with a member of the opposite sex, they would have been seen as a deviant.

In general, romans were very conservative with sex, except the very upper class.

It was actually pretty close to how it's depicted in the certain media if you're not watching clearly over the top action movies like The Magnificent Seven or movies that depict heavily dramatized versions (dueling tournaments) of things that really did happen fairly frequently (duels).

They fight against the Muslim injustice and the Muslim version of "peace", submission.

Their beards, hairstyle are testament to their faith. So they're pretty religious but in a more open/friendly way the Muslims because its an Indian religion at heart(hindu/jain/buddhist/etc).

While Muslims maybe religious, they're a desert warlord religion. Sikhs are practicing a religion born out of wisdom, not warfare. Their stance towards islam is a self-defense one, not an aggressive one. Where as Islam hates anything non-Islam/judeo-christian believers.

So if you want an image in your head, think Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain + knife to defend against Islam (specifically)

it wasn't foreign to roman culture at all. greco-roman catholics were still greco-romans ethnically and culturally, the language of the liturgy was translated from greek to latin, ethiopian, syriac ect. , the same with berber, syriac, persian, or indian catholics who maintained their ethnic identity after conversion. it flourished because of the strong belief of missionary bishops and priests that there is no salvation without Christ, baptism, and unity with the catholic church.

Is anyone else suffering in the nihilistic void but unwilling to leave it? And feeling besieged on all sides by people who want to control your behaviour? I want to live according to my views but it is hard.

I see propaganda, cucked ideologies, humanity denying ideologies, self sacrificing cucks, snake oil salesmen, and plain old stupid people everywhere.

Personally I trust my intelligence and my intuitions and taste (and the intelligence underlying my taste) but simply trying to live according to this is like living on an island. I'm not going to pretend I am a happy le edgy loner. Great friends would be a big bonus. A society that doesn't consider me an idiot for not reading Tolstoy would be a bonus.

I want to be able to give up on reading a book after 10 pages due to boredom, a famous book such as war and peace or great expectations, and not feel guilty about the attacks by pseudo intellectuals who claim I should be enjoying it and finding "great insights" in it. I cave to the societal pressure even though they're all pseuds.

I want to be able to note the simple fact that women live lives on easy mode and not suffer from the huge amounts of propaganda saying the opposite. You can't even say this on 4chan.

I want to call the famous post modern magnum opuses fatuous, overwrought shit. I want to laugh at the deformed people who go in to publishing, the media, and humanities academia. I want to do all this without feeling like I'm under siege by the pseudo intellectuals (like a lot of lit).

Yeah as I understand it it was basically a propaganda move. There isn't really anything of strategic or material value in Ethiopia, I think it was basically revenge for Adwa.

Hey /his/, wanted to pose a question: was there any possibility of Mexico becoming involved in WWI against America, or was the plan laid out in the Zimmerman telegram a pipe dream for the Germans?
Based on some preliminary research, it seems more likely that America would've used the telegram as an excuse to invade Tampico for the oil there, than for Mexico to accept Germany's offer of an alliance. Is there anything that may have shifted that reluctance, such as Germany promising U-boats in the Gulf or other manpower?

I was reading about the timeline of anti-semitism on Wikipedia, I figure it would be like this already but I was appalled at how much most anti-semitism was/is concentrated in Europe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_antisemitism

>ropean Jews are blamed for the plague in the Black Death persecutions. Charge laid to the Jews that they poisoned the wells. Massacres spread throughout Spain, France, Germany and Austria. More than 200 Jewish communities destroyed by violence. Many communities have been expelled and settle down in Poland. Strasbourg massacre.

>18 March, a Jewish boy is accused of plotting against a priest. The mob slaughters approx. 3,000 of Prague's Jews, destroys the city's synagogue and Jewish cemetery. Wenceslaus insists that the responsibility lay with the Jews for going outside during Holy Week.

>Ten České Budějovice Jews are tortured and executed after being accused of killing a Christian girl; later, on his deathbed, a shepherd confesses to fabricating the accusation

>During the civil war between Adolph of Nassau and Albrecht of Austria, German knight Rintfleisch claims to have received a mission from heaven to exterminate "the accursed race of the Jews". Under his leadership, the mob goes from town to town destroying Jewish communities and massacring about 100,000 Jews, often by mass burning at stake. Among 146 localities in Franconia, Bavaria and Austria are Röttingen (20 April), Würzburg (24 July), Nuremberg (1 August).

What the hell is wrong with Europe? Why haven't that many areas of the world seemingly hated Jews as much as Europe did? Why didn't you see the same kind of persecution in America, China, or even the Middle East (there was, obviously due to how Islam is, but the instances on this Wikipedia article seem far less numerous)

Jews were a big enough minority that almost everyone knew they existed

but not big enough to be able to defend themselves, neither violent enough to causes disturbances after being persecuted

Perfect scape goat
>>
>>3059428
>>>/pol/

The main issue with Jews is that they were always seen as

A) different/outsiders
Or
B) killers of Jesus

This was more faceted in the European middle ages through violence or scapegoating, but under Sharia law, Jews could live "without persecution" for just paying a hefty non-muslim tax.

Regardless, as with every ethnic or cultural minority, people will find some way to scapegoat or generalize.

Especially in medieval/ancient times, I'm really curious about how long a battle would last. I imagine one between a few thousand men on each side would be over in maybe half a day? But what about the great battles where you have tens and tens of thousands of solders? Did those last for multiple days? How and when did they drink, sleep, eat, piss and shit? Were the ancient numbers just really really inflated so there wouldn't have been actual tens of thousands?

Read the iliad.
Warfare takes place of multiple days and they all sleep in camps.
>>
>>3058633
Battles were usually a few hours or less, consisting of troops engaging each other back and forth intermittently. Close combat is incredibly exhausting, and sustaining such for a long period is incredibly unlikely. It's only the advent of modern weaponry that battles (due to their long range nature) can go on for days.

>>3058709
>The Iliad
>Accurate warfare
That's wrong anon. The Iliad is pants on head retarded for the average person to try and replicate, it's reserved for mythological heroes. Alexander barely got away with it, and he nearly fucking died 3-4 times trying to be Achilles.
>>
>>3058633

Battles typically did not last very long, even ones involving immense numbers of people. The reason is that battle was physically exhausting back them. Fighting with swords, spears, and shields is a very intense ordeal. The human body simply cannot sustain that level effort for very long. Also, you didn't have things like land-mines and snipers to slow down the pace of battle.

That doesn't actually work in that form. When people say "wasn't real communism", they refer communism as a state, not communism as an ideology. However, national socialism lacks such a double meaning, which is why this doesn't work. You could say "wasn't the real lebensraum" or something like that, though.
