Tax increases on the wealthy combined with economic growth. However, this economic growth was sort of "blowing a load" because it was backed by more household debt than ever before, meaning that everything ran too hot, leading to issues later on (the 2008 crisis). Same issues Reagan would create in another form 15 years earlier, where he prioritized high growth and spending over market stability.

So...We talk a lot about god here, but, is believing in Satanas polytheism?

And if not, how so? What makes for a polytheist view?
Is it not polytheism as long as you don't accept beings like Angels as gods? Does this mean that it is perfectly possible to believe in, say, Zeus, without being a heretic, as long as you don't accept that said entity is a god?

Yes.
>>
>>2852478

Monotheism was in fact the dominant religious system among pagans in the Roman Empire before the Christcuks came along, generally the one god in question was the Unmoved Mover but there were also some who cited Zeus as the only true god, claiming the other gods are merely his messengers (Angels).

Satanism would be polytheistic because Christianity is polytheistic.
>>
>>2852497
Huh, that's, pretty interesting.

>>2852498
Who is the Unmoved Mover? I've never heard of him.

>Satanism would be polytheistic

I was merely referring only to the believe that there was an evil entity that worked against god, not necessarily in worshiping it.

>Christianity is polytheistic.

I hear this meme thrown around a lot, but unless you are referring to the holy trinity thing you are gonna have to explain yourself.

In ancient Greece, it was a common sight to see the poor beggars get picked off by a group wild horses. Descending quickly, these large animals would pummel prey to submission before gorging.

It had gotten to a point where the horses became more lethal than the belligerent royal guards, who would also occasionally be eaten by muscular stallions.

Imagine being a child, waking up suddenly to the pain of an animal biting your leg. You look up to see a mare many times your size with your bloody calve in its teeth. You scream, big mistake, it releases your leg and put its mouth on your throat, drawing blood. When you finally stop struggling, having drowned in the contents of your split-open jugular, the horse turns its head to your stomach and begins eating.

With all this horror, someone came up and said "Yeah, let me try riding one", sounds crazy, but it worked eventually.

My question is, how did this happen exactly? And in such short time?

A pony, huh? OK, try to imagine yourself in the Hellenistic Period. You get your first look at this "18 hands pony" as you enter a clearing. He moves like an ungulate, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like cattle - he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Horse. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the other two horses you didn't even know were there. Because Horse's a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this...A six-inch hardened hoof, like a hammer, from fused toes. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, say... no no. He slashes at you here, or here. Or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is, you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know, try to show a little respect

Huge hordes of horse archers that can mobilize their entire civilization to fight are pretty hard to deal with for settled societies who have to dedicate large parts of their population to economic activity and have fixed assets that need to be defended.

The Byzantines managed to just hide from the Huns behind the walls of Constantinople

The Chinese Han dynasty only managed to suppress them by taking advantage of their large population to mobilize huge armies of hundreds of thousands of cavalry trained to be at least equal to them in capability and then raiding their lands and people directly, at great expense to the state.

Word of the holocaust would probably have led to an intervention, if the Reich hadn't split apart on its own after the Nazi's war economy sputtered out without an actual war to fight. It would be remembered similar to the way Portugal remembers Salazar, but more negative.
