>Christianity was why the Roman Empire fell
>..That's why it's extremely religious Christian half survived for another 500 years and it's capital until 1453

Christianity is to the Roman empire what communism is to the modern west. The revolution will happen soon, comrades.

Geez...
What exactly was his endgame?
>>2358251
Retardation
>>2358251
To reenact Cannae and LARP around as. Roman general. He even enacted decimation for like no reason.
>>2358251
he secretly hated italians
What can yu tell me about Classical Conservatism /his/?
>>2357926
No such thing. Conservatism is country-specific, what's conservative in one country may be ultraliberal or fascist in another.
>>2357926
Racist ol' white devils scared of change
>>2357937
This. Evil whitey.
What was his endgame?
>>2357904
Memes
To be apologist for commie crimes. And did he deliver.
He met Vladimir Iljits, but didn't want to go into details, because he saw a psychopath behind those slanted eyes (which were able to see both Sundays on Wednesday).
Context free low level abstractions so he can win arguments
What was his end game?
>>2357775
One Tengri, one sky, one kingdom, one kahn
Death
>>2357775
To drive his enemies before him, reduce their cities to ashes, and gather to his bosom their weeping wives and daughters
Do SPQR-aboos hate Julius Caesar?

Was "classical liberalism" ever a real thing? People reference it in passing all the time, but it seems difficult to get a sense of it as a historical force the way progressivism or even fascism were.
>>2362430
You're right, I can't think of any event
>>2362437
Both progs and ancaps take themselves as the ideological successors of the Founding Fathers. Which is closer to the real thing?
>>2362445
Ancaps are closest.
why couldn't catholicism match pagan culture
hmmm
>>2361268
most of catholic culture was just a derivative from roman shit which was a derivative from greek shit
it seems like everybody built off the greeks but nobody was able to build a deep foundation like the greeks could
western civilization is basically just recycling greek shit for 3000 years
>>2361264
Catholics are Pagan
Who was the most beta ruler in history?

This overrated little shit.

You won't find a more beta ruler in history, just look at him.
How is /his/ celebrating Valentine's Day?

Thinking about the gf i went out with 3 years ago lol
Crying in a hotel over a bowl of cornflakes with no milk because my entire town is snowed in with nothing but the lectures of Kenneth Harl to soothe me.
I am not making this up. Pls give a gf, I will accept a bf.
who is right?
>presenting an egoist who isn't me
moral realist in this situation
>>2360852
>right
Both of them are helping people so who cares?
Yes, they were "evil". Yes, they should have lost the war. But frankly, it bothers me why we can't recognize some of their achievments without falling into either THEY SHOULD'VE WON (/pol/) or THEY WERE STUPID EVIL IDIOTS.
Can't we have a rational discussion on the boldest (if stupid) army of the 20th century? Or the best uniforms ever made (shut up you know its true). Or why if Hitler wasn't a dumb, racist prick and had an actual general command his forces they could have advanced more into Russia (Although winning the war is impossible)?
>>2358743
>uses the word evil to describe a regime
>claims to want serious discussion
Fuck off back to pol you halfwitted nigger.
>>2358806
I used quotations for the word as I recognize some people do indulge in morality, so I recognize that they commonly cite the Nazis and their actions as "evil". I myself do not, but can see what they mean by this.
Also halfwitted nigger is a phrase only a /pol/ack would say, you fuck off
>>2358806
The reason this board will never be great is because everyone is so sensitive about /pol/
Fuck you for stifling discussion and making 50% of the discussion on this board related to whether or not an OP should "go back to /pol/"
Are Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire two completely different entities?
STOP POSTING THE SAME FUCKING THREAD.
>>2358143
No.
Do any of you disagree with psychological egoism?
If so, how do you defend being so criminally retarded?
>>2358047
We're acting in the interest of our supposed children, to keep our genes in the game.
>>2358247
Yeah that's true. That doesn't undermine psychological egoism though.
Psychological egoism contends that you are always acting in your self-interest - and yes, taking an interest in your children, like all human behaviour, is also grounded in that self-interest. Because the second most important interest that we all have, after preserving our own life, is reproducing - propagating our genes as much as we can in the world.
Psychological egoism is false, and ethical egoism is retarded.
