Oui, but I find most of it annoyingly fan fiction and so over the top I just can't handle them. This is usually solved if it is packed with interesting details like Kaiserreich.

Depends, I enjoy it as fiction, I hate it when people pretend discussing alternate history is discussing history, like the ludicrous "what if" threads that used to dominate this board at one point.

Yeah, I have no idea why conservatives champion him

All I see there is a lot of meme words and faux moral indignation.

He knew he was screwed after that whole shooting the governor thing so he had everyone including himself killed

The people living there were likely gonna get set free with possible name changes

No. He wanted to be God to his followers, because he was a malignant narcissist.

Constantine XI, the last one of them all. An immensely capable man, but fate seemed to shit on him at every turn.

>>2727674
Why did he dress like that?

He dressed different from other byzantine emperors, he dressed like romans/greeks before Christianity

Probably, it's easier than stopping to build a bridge over a stupid ravine. I don't know of any specific instances.

I call bullshit, there's no way that could support a horse.

pretty sure they'd come up with a better way, they'd have a bunch of wood and rope in the baggage train and the engineer would erect some neat thing and take it down afterwards

The Jews.

>Thinking 500 pseudo-vikings can beat a samurai

That's it. I'm sick of all this bullshit that's going on in /his/ right now. Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.

Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.

Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected. So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the best sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require more nazi-inspired pagan enemies for this shitty thread to be worth making.

Race did not exist in pre-colonial times

Well a simple example is that the ancient Greeks called all non Greeks barbarians.

>>2727482
Racial ideas developed under colonialism

After blacks and Indians became Christian, ancestry was used to perpetuate the hierarchies which elevated folks born in Europe over colonists over natives over slaves

>>2727366
It does accept converts, if i recall correctly, it's just that the religion doesn't teach it's followers to go out and convert people.

>>2727366

Judaism isn't as big as Christianity or Islam because of the fact the conversion process is longer, its been persecuted, it isn't as nearly as expansive as Christianity or Islam, and it's a minority religion whereas Christianity and Islam are both huge religions with lots of power and homes for their followers.

>>2727382
yes, this

The meme that Judaism doesn't accept converts is a meme jews spread to prevent people from converting to judaism. You can convert, they just don't want you to.

researching and cataloging isn't worshipping you idiot
scientists research and catalogue animals and plants, it doesn't mean anything

>>2727278
God says they exist.

I do not know what benefit cataloging them would be.

>>2727433
Know your enemy so you can fight him

>America could have then came and obliterated the over-stretched Soviet war machine marching right through Europe and possibly through Japan and Siberia to Moscow and placing a pro-USA and non-communist government into place.


Real life isn't fucking HOI4.

>>2727199
Well yeah after like 50 years and many close calls on literal world obliteration later. The world would be so much better off now if the Soviets had been crushed in the forties.

More like "grey and brown" steretype (churches, clothes). And white, in the case of marble.

Ancient Chinese culture arguably started with the Wu who were shamans. I think you can really get a sense of shamanic feeling from the script
