Will the West ever see something resembling Victorian Ethics again?
God willing, no. I'd rather have medieval ethics. Honestly though, Victorian ethics is just freakish anglo aversion to affection manifested in an ideology.
>1903

victorians were mentally ill
Silesia should be an independent country
>King of Bohemia marries Polish princess
>2nd son becomes Duke of Silesia
>few generations later the Duchy joins the Holy Roman Empire
>acts as a counter-balance to Prussian power in the area
What would the world be like today?
>>2415063
Why involve in this Bohemians? Polish princes in Silesia were probably even more receptive to German culture than the Czech dukes and kings.
Such a scenario (Silesia as leading player on the eastern flank of the Reich) almost happened, but was eventually thwarted twice; firstly by the Mongols in 1241, secondly in 1290 by the untimely death (by poison) of the duke Henry IV, just when his power was in ascent.

I know two Silesians and they are proud Poles. This another example of "Champagne Nationalism".

Assyrians were the last truely great empire. that's all you need to know

Small farming settlements pop up in the Fertile Crescent around 6000 BCE. Uruk make "fortified cities" around 3500 BCE, even have some early form of primitive pictograph writing, and build early monuments. Sumerians pop up in 2900, and get rekt by Akkadians. Akkadians disappear because "lol, no farms and barbarians invading." Sumerians pop up one more time, write Gilgamesh, and git rekt by Elamites. Assyrians popped up in 1350 BCE, started fucking shit up by the 9th century. They deported undesirables, killed lions, killed people, and generally just made a bloody mess for a few centuries and got destroyed by a coalition of early Iranian/Persian societies.
Really, the Assyrians are the closest you are going to get to the modern definition of an empire. Sure, the Akkadians existed too, but they only lasted two centuries. If you count the three periods of Assyrian history, they got in roughly 1000 years. It's kind of a super sparse rundown, but its what Iv'e heard.
The Sumerian word for king - Lugal - literally translated to "Big Guy."
Are Sumerians the original Baneposters?
Or dos Baneposting predate civilization itself?

What happened with Music /his/?
And i'm not sayin that "the people" should listen Classical Music.Take the popular music in the 60s with Beatles,Stones,CRR,etc.Or the 70s with Pink loyd,or the 80s with The Smiths and Michael Jackson,just WTF happened with pupolar music /his/?
>mfw i hear the song that is in the top of the charts
Audience tastes and producer goals changed as time moved forward.
>>2414342
Different people listen to music, nowadays. Or, at least, different people are willing to shell out big bucks for it, and those people have shit taste.
Record companies wont take the risk of putting out something new or different when shitting out simple massappealing subpar songs every week is a sure profit. You see the same problem with television. Imo internet streaming is going to kill the old outdated music industry the same way its killing tv.

Will a century ever be as epic as the 20th? I feel like the 21st is just gonna be a bunch of alt right and leftypol complaining on a grand scale.

Pretty much this.
Centralised government and a military capability that was on par with its closest neighbour.
Can anyone explain modern day Asia? How come China has such a backwards population and the other countries in the Sinosphere have well-behaved peoples?
This used to be the cultural centre and now it's a literal dump.
inb4 they didn't go through modernity. They damn well did.
Great Cultural Revolution created a generation of callous, unprincipled people

>How come China has such a backwards population and the other countries in the Sinosphere have well-behaved peoples?
They don't.
Vietnam and North Korea are China tier. South Korea is a neo-liberal dystopia and Japan is simply unique.
The 20th century version of Bernie Sanders happened.
Has there ever been a war where quality of troops wins over quantity of troops? Great northern war, Napoleonic wars and to an extent ww2 comes to mind
Obviously ignore colonial wars or others where the opponent had extremely inferior gear and equipment
Most of Roman wars, if you to believe Roman sources ofc. Except maybe the Punic ones.
>>2414453
Well it really depends on what nation you are playing as, you don't just take Quantity or Quality alone, you must also take ideas like Offensive or Defensive. So for example if you are playing as the Russians, dont take quantity as their national ideas are pretty op and are filled with quantity like ideas. If your France or Prussia which are filled with quality ideas take quantity.
>>2414453
What exactly do you mean by the "quality" of troops? Training? Doctrine? Equipment? Strategy?
Why do so many people support this flawed ideology, and how can it have so many variants when all anarchists advocate for the same thing?

Nice disinformation meme full of fallacies
