They are Boxers, from the Boxer Rebellion in China, circa 1895.

Their problem was with Western Imperialism in China. They clogged enough machine gun barrels with their corpses to convince the western powers that actually directly ruling over China was too much trouble, and carving out spheres of influence while letting the Qing stay was the most effective solution.

Internally, the failure of the Boxer rebellion (who supported the Qing, but didn't get much support back), convinced the revolutionaries that no amount of promised Qing reforms would be enough, and that the Qing had to go.

>being well fed, well clothed, and fucked on a daily basis is literal slavery for women

>>2749090
The best condition for men would be a house slave supervisor of other slaves.

But in exchange for being well fed and housed you had to actually use your brain and compete with other slaves for the position.

if it's a harem doesn't it mean that it's not necessary you'd be fucked daily right?
I mean aren't there other girls in the harem too?

U wot m8?

Lol

That'd be some shit, wouldn't it?

>>2749097
kek it really would

>>2748930
So, wait. You watched something on the history channel, and then went to the hotel bar and the random patrons around there were wall familiar with the claims made in some TV documentary, and willing to argue with a stranger over it?

Look dude, I know people make up stories on a Jamaican turtle herding forum, but can't you at least TRY to make a plausible one? And this is coming from a burger who thinks that Monty was a pretty good general, all things considered.

>>2748969
I didn't say they were familiar with the documentary.
I said they were familiar with the claims made by the documentary.

Most commanders are done injustice in the popular conception for various reasons. Very few people know that Gallipoli was largely a French plan, for instance. The British had wanted to attack Alexandretta and cleave Turkey in two, France refused because they didn't want to expose Syria to the British.

you can only understand the present if you understand the circumstances that led to it

By studying history, we can recognize trends in culture and religion that have eventually become assumptions in our modern worldview. By learning about them in an objective, historical way, we can refine or surpass them.

Knowledge is intrinsically valuable. This is axiomatic, and non-demonstrable. You either accept it or you don't, as a foundation of your ethos. If you do, the value of history becomes self-evident.

There are a lot of Amerilarpers talking like that.

It's normal for people to become conservative in reaction to massive changes in society.

Europe will be united alright, just not in the way they imagine

It entirely depends on the school. I student taught in Michigan and it was the happiest I've ever been. It's a fuckton of work but if you let loose and have fun with it, it's a blast. Last year I taught in Arizona where I had overcrowded classes of dirt poor Mexican immigrants who switched around schools all of the time and whose motivation to learn was shit and it was the most depressing thing I've ever experienced. I'm happier subbing back in MI and living with my parents again than teaching in AZ.

Not a teacher, but I'm certain it really just depends on the school, admin/supervisors, material and the children themselves

You're probably going to have the best time at schools in middle/upper middle class districts

Works besides grading, making worksheets, and etc?

It makes you a sheep dependent on capitalism.

or something

>>2748579
Materialism in what sense?

>>2748500
Epicurism. It's kind of like a slow-burning materialistic utilitarianism.

>>2748500
The guy on the right.

What type though? Traditional Catholicism? Eastern Orthodoxy? Protestantism?

>Dan unironically talks like a retard, his vocabulary is at a tenth-grade level at best, the fakeness of his acting is downright hilarious

One day you will hear ''it'' and you'll just discard him forever and ever.

>Where should I go from here?
What about actual books?

I honestly think that carlin posting is one of the most clever memes on this board.

These threads always use the same picture and pose the same question in nearly the same manner.

Maybe this is a longshot and I'm crazy, but if I'm right, I absolutely hate it and how subversive it is.

He is shit, all his shit is shit.

Hardcore History is a fun introduction to history, faggots like >>2748329 just get their rocks off on acting superior on the internet. If you are looking for another podcast I recommend The History of Rome by Mike Duncan.

Persian empire got replaced with an even bigger empire. Romans also go their shit pushed in so there wasnt a real rival to the west.

Iranians are going to appear out of nowhere and say it was actually persian golden age
