Exploitation.

You bourgeois fucks.

What's this scene supposed to be about?

Also classical art is redundant since modern art is not art.

I think it's supposed to be the visit of Alexander to Jerusalem

The Wall was more of an alert system and temporary barrier in case of full scale surprise invasion than about actually keeping the Mongols out indefinitely.

>>2399171
How many people died to create that wall?

>>2399171
because your pic is in manchuria, not mongolia and the other side is in the middle of a desert

the great wall basically ended the annual practice of mongols crossing the border to raid chinese villages

>>2399180
a fuckload when the first emperor started building it, when the Mings got serious about making it a single contiguous wall not as many as you'd think. It was insanely expensive though.

probably because they prefer democracy to fascism

Why then would any American not ask this question? Seems pretty obvious from the perspective of anyone from a liberal western democracy that this is a political system that needs to go, that has failed its people and failed to live up to basic, universal ideas about what rights a government needs to respect and protect. They’ll have heard the argument that China’s leadership has succeeded in other ways: it has allowed China to prosper economically, lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty, creating a substantial and comfortable middle class with expanded personal (if not political) freedom. And the Chinese Communist Party has managed to ensure a relatively long period of political stability, with orderly leadership transitions absent the political violence that had accompanied nearly all others until Deng Xiaoping’s ascent.

"Yeah, but so what?" asks the American. "Anyone who would trade a little freedom for a little personal safety deserves neither freedom nor safety,” he asserts, quoting Benjamin Franklin. He quotes this as gospel truth, ignoring the irony that many Americans advocated just such a trade in the aftermath of September 11. That aside, why shouldn't he quote it? It’s deeply engrained in his political culture. Political liberty is held up practically above all else in the values pantheon of American political culture.

The American myth of founding sees the Puritan pilgrims, seeking a place where their brand of Protestantism might be practiced freely, crossing the Atlantic in the Mayflower, creating en route a quasi-democratic quasi-constitution, the Mayflower Compact, landing at Plymouth Rock in 1620, and over the next 150 years growing into the colony that would lead its 12 sisters into rebellion for freedom from the "tyranny" of King George III. Americans hold the ideas enshrined in their founding documents very dearly, and can't really be blamed for doing so: they are, after all, some very high-minded and frankly very beautiful ideas.

What he doesn’t quite appreciate is the precariousness of the historical perch on which these ideas—ideas he holds so strongly and believes so ardently to be universal truths—ultimately rest. Americans, like everyone else for that matter, tend not to take much time to understand the historical experiences of other peoples, and can't therefore grasp the utter contingency upon which their own marvellous system rests.

>Daily reminder that Roman Empire collapsed in 480 AD
But what about the bit that didn't?

THE TERM "ROMAN EMPIRE" IS VAGUE AND REFERS TO A SHIFTING GEOPOLITICAL ENTITY THAT STILL PERSISTS TODAY, BUT IN CORRUPTED, PERVERTED, AND USURPED, FORM.

WHAT IS NOW CALLED "WESTERN CIVILIZATION"/"WESTERN WORLD", WHICH COMPRISES VIRTUALLY ALL COUNTRIES, IS THE LATEST, SENILE, AND DECREPIT, PHASE OF THE "ROMAN EMPIRE".

>>2398090
Daily reminder that Rome collapse in 420 Ad anything that came after that was a we wuz.

Yes.

Broad and wide-reaching.

Death is indefinite, taxes are infinite

His only mistake was not declaring himself emperor Napoleon style.

As a general, Washington was utter shit at tactics. He loved overly convoluted plans that inevitably fell apart and he was convinced that the war was going to be decided in New York. He insisted on Charles Lee being kept around for a while despite the man being a complete fuck up.

Washington shined when it came to handling moral and organizing orderly retreats. Dude could pull an army out of hell before the devil knew he was there.
