>Africans are people.

That would require them to be familiar and comfortable with the phalanx formation, which would require whole new training and drilling (Egypt hired some Greek mercenaries to train a contiginent of their troops in phalanx format, and they were there for roughly 12 months) and proper auxiliary forces to accompany them, which also requires expertise to how to position them with the phalanx in certain situations.

Also, Zoroastrianism preaches a caste society like Hinduism, with a dedicated minority warrior class. In the Achaemenid region of Persia, they probably adhered to that and most of said class comprised of Calvary that they emphasized on and properly maintained, and just used regular levied local yeomen for most of their Persian foot infantry units, who by Greek accounts (although potentially bias in this regard, do consider that the overwhelming amount of writers on them praised their cavalry skilled and arms) were nothing special.

Persians dominated Asia likely due in thanks to their calavry skills, mobility (which having a predominant light and missile infantry force will do), sieging skills, and diplomacy. It happened that Alexander had those to, but with newly developed and highly innovated siege engines and artillery, a better central infantry force and happened to catch the Persians off-guard and got lucky by having most of their western Asian and Egyptian subjects peacefully submitting to him.

The Macedonians had long spears.

That meme in the op is not Macedonia.

>>2363724
How is the force the persians assembled at gaugamela in any way "catching them off guard" ? Even the most conservative estimate of persian troop numbers that day would have Alexanders army outnumbered at least 2:1.

What is up with 4chan's obsession over XXXTentacion?

>>2364850
i find it strange that anyone here even knows him

>>2364852

I know who he is, but I just don't understand why randomly post his picture on a post that has NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM.

Is that what they're calling Argentina nowadays?

Not really. The globalists love failed states like South Sudan and Haiti because those states are completely dependent on services provided by NGOs, they are "NGOistans" in the sense that they are ruled by Western social workers.

This creates a lot of jobs for Westerners, so it's kind of good for them. That's why George Soros fund NGOs that destabilize countries like Brazil, why the CFR helps FARC in Colombia etc.

Supply side economics says that the government should engage in policies favorable to businesses.

Demand side economics says that the government should engage in policies favorable to consumers.

The best form of economics is one that realizes the effective demand is always below full employment, when the quantity theory of money would be true.

Prove me wrong.

>>2363077
>quantity theory of money

You already proved yourself wrong.

Yes, it's just sometimes misinterpreted.

Anyone claiming it's not valid is a dumb sedevacantist, and as such is a heretic.

>>2362808
It's a valid, pastoral council. No pronouncements of the Magisterium were made.

>>2364709
>Yes, it's just sometimes misinterpreted.

Sometimes can be an understatement depending on where you live. I think the problem lies more with the cultural shit that was going on in the 60s than with Vatican II. The important thing is to actually read the "controversial" documents instead of getting information from a batshit sedevacantist site.

>Let's focus on cultural history now

>>2362486
Hey fuck off, that is often times useful. Chronological is often done for books lecturing absolute beginners in basic historical events, and not into the nitty bitty details.

>>2362637
Who /doric/ here?

>>2362460
>The average man in the street after a few beers in private reveals that has a far more balanced, nuanced, and disillusioned view of society than any pundit on a TV or professor behind a lectern, but would NEVER be allowed to voice such opinions in a mass forum without being shouted down or losing his livelihood if not life
But that's bullshit. Times and times again people have neglected what professors have said. Just look on people not panicking over global warming.

>>2362465
Let's not derail the thread into debates of current events. My point is that the average person harbors secret heresies that he keeps close to his chest merely out of self-interest if not -preservation, while the more thoroughly orthodox an individual is the more eager they are to take a soapbox and not have it pulled out from under him.

There's a billion dissenting videos on youtube right now.

The 2nd Amendment

One of them started as a democracy and the other two spent a century of civil war to reform their monarchical system, which proves it was purely because Anglos refused to intermix with the natives.

Land ownership was far more concentrated in Latin America than in English colonies. This made majority of Spanish subjects poor, servile shits who hated their rulers while everyman's greed drove English to new heights.

yingyang and feng shui are certainly connected to daoism ether through origination or absorption.

Most likey the origins of daoism lay in an amalgam of Chinese philosophical and spiritual practices

Gommies likely, they were prepared for an all out offensive while the west had "just enough" forces for defense without any plans for offensive or even counteroffensive.

But depends on period of course.

Tough to say. America had better industrial base, more resources, and more allies. But USSR had better leadership, more efficient doctrine, etc.

I give initial advantage to USSR, but if the war drags on the USA will eventually win.

>>2358532

Without nukes? I'd have to side with Russia simply because they're so much closer Europe which makes it so much easier to launch attacks and resupply tropes. Not to mention they always had a bazillion tanks.

But of course, this all hinges on the Soviets being able to make a fast break through West Germany into France.

What's the point of this thread?

>>2365000
i mean the general direction was to talk about important and prominent times of power in history. With alternate history and discussion of how things could have been if they had gone if piloted by hindsight.

I cannot comprehend how looking at history with hindsight is useful to anyone

Communists hate anything that isn't communist, but if non whites do non communist things they are usually treated with kid gloves, for example some communists consider ISIS good as a force of anti imperialism. Can't make this shit up.

Non-authoritarian liberslism, it seems like.
