Have any non meme thinkers/writers tackled this in any substantial way?
There are obviously your anarcho-primitivist types but I find them to be absurd - bar total nuclear annihilation humanity is not going to revert back into hunter-gatherer tribes and seeing that the individual can not guarantee they'd even survive said apocalypse, planning or shilling for it is ridiculous.
What I'm more interested in is the fact that when one looks at the length of human history "civilization" is only but a small blip which leads me to wonder, seeing that we are nothing more than animals with the gift of higher intelligence maybe we are simply not biologically and/or psychologically cut out for the intensity and stress of the modern world.
I compare it to an animal raised in captivity: although they can be mentally functional they are more often than not prone to what can only be described as mental illness. This is not to say that their natural existence is necessarily better - only that after millions of years of evolution they are simply better equipped to deal with it psychologically.
I don't necessarily believe this but it does seem like an interesting train of thought I'd like to read about in full.

Everyone and their mother hates you, including 30% of the people who you "rule" in Europe. You are the Big Bad for everyone you border except Portugal, who you almost have a gentleman's agreement not to fuck in the ass for some reason.
You experience the worst cultural upheaval across your burgeoning empire and are forced to chose how to divide it. You lose Austria, Burgundy, Naples, Sardinia, and the Netherlands because your empire is just too big and disjointed on basically every level.

Did Eastern Orthodoxy or eastern orthodox culture influence communism indirectly in the same manner Protestantism influenced the development of capitalism?
I acknowledge that Orthodox Christianity was brutally persecuted by communist states, but that is not the main point of the question. The question is whether or not Orthodox Christian ideals such as Caesaropapism etc leaked into communism akin to how the idea of "a work ethic indicates being part of the elect" leaked into capitalism.

It could hardly influence communism as communism was a western thing a hundred years before it ever showed up in an orthodox country. In fact it would make more sense if protestantism and catholicism influenced it but it makes even more sense if neither of these did since communism was strongly anti-religious in every day of its existence.
It is possible that past customs and cultural aspects have stayed in communist countries as communism was implemented but otherwise i can't see how orthodoxy is related to communism.

Read Lenin´s texts. He genuinely hated Orthodoxy. The Bolsheviks hated religion. Yes, including Judaism.

>>3009493
>Caesaropapism
That's not an Orthodox concept/doctrine, though. It's a form of heresy, really, like phyletism, and it wasn't a univeral problem among the Orthodox states throughout history.

I really like John Green. He got me interested in history when I was a kid and he did it with humor. No wonder he's a writer, he's very good with words and explaining things with wit and humor. I really like the mongols gag.

Why has there been virtually no assassination attempts of Supreme Court justices?
Killing a judge you don't like would be a massive win for your political ideology, and can cause a huge mess for the other side. Look at what happened after Scalia died.

The Republican/Democrat dichotomy does not allow for serious extremism within the ranks.
People who commit political assassinations are too extreme to benefit from either a Republican or a Democrat appointee to the Supreme Court, nobody is willing to go that far for some lukewarm neoliberal stooge party's benefit, which is what both the Republican and Democratic parties are.
So I guess you could chalk it up to political apathy, the Dems and Republicans are so interchangeable that nobody even cares.

I'm sure economically there wouldn't be too much radicialism but on social issues(of course recently gay marriage, but especially abortion), you have guys like the Army of God running around bombing clinics. Surely one of these guys would have shot a justice or two and stacked the court on their favor.

So I get that when the Europeans and Native Americans came into contact, diseases spread and significantly cut the native populations' numbers. But why is it that while native populations in places like the US, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, etc. are vanishingly small, the countries of Peru and Bolivia have such large proportions of their populations made up by the descendants of Indigenous people? Why did so many survive there when natives were more-or-less wiped out in other places?

>so many survive
Confirmed retard.
The indians were still the majority, yet the people who had important functions on the inca empire died and thus managed to desestabilize it.
A great percentage got killed. The rest was still numerous but they were from opressed cultures and villages.

>>3009167
I heard you, that was literally his tax policy, to take out massive loans, the fact it is technically not a tax policy only goes to show how much he depended on it. It is well known.
>Great Britain went beyond annexing colonies and exploiting their riches. She made Argentina "so dependent financially on London" in the words of a Germany authority cited by Lenin, "that it ought to be described as almost a British commercial colony." Portugal, an imperial power herself, was actually, according to Lenin, "a British protectorate"
