It wasn't just about two guys being in love, but two guys being in love after one of them is sent by the Gods to stop the other from cucking his people up.

That's right. Gilgamesh is a story about a Gay bull who doesn't want to embrace his mortality.

>>2619164
No
If they were gay they would have written about there sexual encounters(the story didn't shy away from sex as a major plot point was enkidu fucking a head priestest for some god i can't remeber)

>>2619172
Well Gilgamesh just went around raping literally everyone he saw whenever he wanted, and then Enkidu shows up and tries to stop him from doing the raping. They fight so hard that they destroy the doorframe of the front door to the potential rapee's home.

So I guess I can see your point, Gilgamesh sounds like a pretty big asshole desu senpai

Dueling with what weapon? Rapiers? Pistols?

Interesting idea though.

dueling only make sense when you have an aristocratic/noble class and a society where 'honor' is more than a simple abstraction.

They'd have it done with non-lethal weapons like airsoft or nerf guns.

>But everytime I read about him I simply cannot understand how his ideas could work.
What ideas?

pros: valued examining economic behavior

cons: like fucking everything else

Marxism.

That is such a made up word with zero meaning behind it. Marx stole every idea from Hegel.
Study Hegel.

i dont think that's true

poor gangs who sometimes beat the shit out of each other.

Gangs of new york kind of shows what it was like albeit in theatrical style. Little kids were pickpockets. Otheres were just thieves or pimps mostly, however with no drugs to deal and lots of work opportunities it didn't really pay. The women were prostitutes. Some gangs were actually just working class men who liked to be in some sort of community like a union.

That essentially sums up lower class back then, rather harmless compared to today. Because white people are civilized/

>tfw you will never get to grow up playing stickball im the streets of your 100% Italian neighborhood, then go pay a nickel to see Babe Ruth play for the Yankees

Feels bad man

1: it only kills if it falls right in a trench

2: one the infantry hear the first shells they will dart into their bunkers

3: trenches are zig zagged so even if you get a direct hit you might not kill anyone or just 1 sentry

>>2618891
Can somebody translate these moonrunes for me?

>>2618904
I'm not referring to killing the infantry but rather blocking up the Trench.

Would I have a choice about it?

Die?

Seems easy.

Presuming you're talking about Omaha and not the other beaches that went swimmingly.

>>2618633
I'm an horribly weak dick, but I wouldn't really have had a choice if I was there

rather die like a poor fuck on a beach and do my duty rather than get shot for desertion

You can't really fight with an ice axe since you cant stab. Churchill would be able to block and thrust easily

>>2619072
the ice axe has a sharp point on the bottom end, you can thrust with that.

>>2618506
You should do it about

>How the Crusades purged Europe of dinduism

And then plot levels of stupidity and chimpouts before and after. That way, it's not your opinion, it's an analysis of facts.

write on how Enrico Dandolo did NOTHING wrong

>>2618506
Write about the crusades as an anticolonialist campaign.

>believe
It is hard to explain ancient "belief" systems to modern people. They didn't believe in it in the same way as many modern people believe in religion. Mythology is a completely distinct thing. They didn't believe in the same way as someone might believe in God today, they believed that the gods existing explained things that went on around them, and just in case they did exist, would try to assuage their emotions and gain their favour by offering them libations and offerings. It's almost like a form of doublethink. They offered something for a community to rally around, to help explain things in a time when it was difficult to understand why shit like earthquakes and volcanos would happen, to allow people to fabricate elaborate backstories for their people, the lands that they lived in and the natural environment around them to give them purpose and to give them comfort.

^This guy explained it rather well. Religion was more like a mix of superstitions, and their own culture. People seemed to have varied on how literal they took it but it seemed as if there was no such thing as "fanaticism". Only the priests did that and it was kind of amusing for the people.

Personally I like how religion was in ancient times compared to the cancer of abrahamic literalism with their rulebooks and commandments. But it appeals to the lowest common denominator since its simple and easy to grasp, as well as most importantly, universal.

>>2618630
Would this apply to Judaism as well?

Italian and Japanese tanks were absolute shit, so they barely merit a mention.

The Cromwell, being a heavy tank, could probably beat either the Sherman or T-34, as they're both medium tanks. However, it also probably is more expensive, uses more fuel, etc.

>>2618453
Or the Panzer IV

*impregnates your daughter*

but the salad isnt named after him

also yes he is the most alpha

I agree with everything except the salad thing. The Caesar salad is named after Caesar Cardini, an Italian immigrant in America who created it.
