My Personal Favorite Nation was the Roman Empire from its early days as a Kingdom all the way to the Fall of Constantinople or Trebizond whatever you consider to be the final battle in their history

What exactly is anti-modernism even? What exactly are the attributes of modernism that it is rejecting and what kinds of solutions are proposed?

I don't much, but from what I do know you have the early modern era beginning around roughly the 1500s, The modern era and post modern era which began around the 1960s. This 500 yeaish time-frame brought with it certain ways of thinking which some people reject.
>>
Equality, democracy, the concept of universal or natural rights, being true or good concepts, the idea that rationality can solve all social problems, rejections of traditional religions, rejections of monarchy, etc etc.
I don't agree with all of the above ideas, but I agree with some of them and can answer any questions you have.

Why did European armies return to the pike / spear, even though formations using it like the Greek phalanx were defeated by Roman armies using swords? Was it an increase in armor quality? Or, were the Romans incorrect to have their soldiers use the sword as their primary weapon (after javelins were thrown), and they defeated the phalanx for other reasons?

Pikemen proved essential in defending against heavy cavalry which became prevalent in the middle ages, as most other troops would not be able to hold their ground as well against a cavalry charge.

Alexander the great conquered the world with pikes, and a spear is not the same as a spear.
>>
>>2425093
the medieval cavalry charge made Roman style shield formations obsolete. the pike became to infantry counter to cavalry and later is a way to protect your arquebusiers.
also armour became more protective so two-handed weapons became preferable.

He probably wouldn't be an incompetent retard if his dad Alexander III bothered to prepare him for rule, he thought he's gonna be the tsar for a long time but he abruptly died at the age of 49 leaving this goof in charge.

German here
The German atrocities during the time of the nazi regime may well be the best documented part of history. Everyone knows that and only a few /pol/sters, edgelords and imbeciles deny they happened.
What about your country though? What about the less glorious parts and genocides?
I'm thinking of maybe Turkey and the Armenians, Britain and their famines in Ireland and India, concentration camps in south Africa and Kenya just to name two to get started.
not that this is not about denying or relativizing German crimes. I am curious if there is self-criticism regarding your country's history's dark spots.
Pic not related.

American aircraft did not have cannons in WW2, only up to 50 cal.

The year is 2017. Man has peered into the darkest corners of the cosmos, and observed the universe on its smallest scale. You walk around with more computing power in your pocket than was available to all of NASA in the 1970s. You live twice as long as your ancestors ever could have dreamed of, you have food in abundance and the future is brighter than ever. Humanity has achieved more in the last century than it ever has in its entire history. People are happier, freer, crime is lower, you're safer, more secure, and the entire wealth of human knowledge is available to you at your finger tips. You live in the dawn of humanity, you were born after the long dark night and you will never know the suffering that every other generation did.
And you still think the words of dehydrated desert madmen in the middle east are literal truth, you unironically believe in God, and think homosexuality is a bad thing.
You're literally a walking insult to everything humanity has ever achieved, lmao.
