>Vikings were the first Europeans to discover America
true, although there are stories that St. Brendan, an irish monk, may have travelled the North Atlantic and arrived either at Newfoundland or eastern NA
however, most believe that he arrived at a small island off the coast of north africa
>Romans were smaller than other people
of course they were, most people around the Mediterranean were shorter than northern europeans
>Napoleon was short
yes, it's generally agreed he was ~5'5"

Don't make me kill you.

kill yourself faggot

My opinion is that this is a pointless thread and &Humanities was a mistake

And I'm negative IRL even after being negative online so it's not cathartic for me

What? We can't just have one board for Hitler-worship threads! You're worse that Hitler!

If you ask the communists, its the capitalists and financiers.

But truly, no. Unless you're some kind of serial killer or Anton Chigurh level hitman. Violence is necessary or present in almost every criminal endeavor, whether by the perpetrator or competitors.

>without just resorting to force of violence and thugs.

But Moriarty used those.

Yes, I see your point, and once I posted it I kinda regretted that I hadn't explained it better. Allow me to rephrase it as ".... an empire based on that knowledge without just solely resorting to violence like drug kingpins, or organised crime tends to do"

I'm just curious in seeing whether there's ever been such a thing as a "gentleman thief" who actually made large scale industry out of those skills.

It wasn't one war you dumbfuck. It was a series of wars broken up by a series of peaces and truces. It's like asking why are France and Germany so autistic to be fighting from 1870-1945?

Because God gave it to us.

I believe in Jesus because of the impact he has had on my life, not because of what some third party has told me. If you pray to him, you'll see he's the truth,

Bits of both, mainly Keynes though, in practice.

has Austrian school theory actually been used? or is it like communism where everyone is whining "if only if people opened their eyes!"

Pax Americana.

They brought us peace, they brought the world EVERYTHING, in the 20th century. Despite living in the old world I am an American in spirit, just like you previously had Romans everywhere. I love the acceleration we have been experiencing in technology and the arts (film, electric/electronic music, interactive art) especially, even political progress (CIA, NSA, US Army) is apparent if you ignore the humanitarian foreground: perhaps liberal egalitarians and prudish luddite reactionaries alike will eventually be rounded-up and silenced, and this gaping hole in ressentiment will instead be replaced with the desire for an American emperor, one who will realize the goal that /bleibt der Erde treu/.

Praise Rome, Praise America.

How is the second nareative a anti-leftist one?
Communism and socialism are economic systems, not political ones, and do not imply direct democracy through their premises (in fact we have not seen any direct communist democracy in the XX century).

>>2714258
Most contemporary leftists believe in those systems because of the apparent equality they entail. Which directly contradicts socrates' warning. He's essentially arguing that tyranny from democracy is inevitable, because as a population becomes more self aware of their liberties, the faster they degenerate until their society collapses.

>>2714233
I think you mean Plato's critique which he attributed to Socrates.

>>2714067
Discriminated or protected? A pedestal is not actually confining, especially when it was ractually dangerous to go outside. Additionally, women have historically ridiculous power inside the home. In ages when the household was an economic center, the lead woman can fire and hire people/slaves/servants/serfs at will, not the man. This power still carries over today in eastern societies though eroded by the realities of industrialization

There were certainly societies that had different gender mores than other ones. The Byzantines were much less patriarchal than the Romans had been-- the basilea was exalted to a much higher importance than the wife of a Caesar ever was, and even in some respects played important roles. See Theodora I having a mural of her and Justinian side by side in Ravenna instead of being subordinate to him in the art, and Belisarius' whore wife bossing him around.
