They were probably a first wave of Germanic expansion. They are also referred to as the Getae, likely a cognate with the Geats and the later Goths. The Zalmoxis religion is very interesting. It seems to have a lot of the elements of Christianity but is much older. Perhaps the Zalmoxis story was the inspiration for the Christ story, or perhaps it was just a coincidence, but either way the effect was that the Goths in Dacia were among the first populations to convert to Christianity en masse.

The Goths and Geats are a fascination of mine. I recommend reading Jordanes Getica, which discusses the Getae/Dacians.

They are not Germanic though, right?

Heck, southern Germany wasn't German at the time. Celts lived in what is southern Germany now.

>>2310602
Hard to tell. Most sources seem to say they are related to the Goths, who are certainly Germanic. What is preserved of the Dacian language is not particularly informative on placing its pedrigee in the IE family, so that doesn't help much. Jordanes,

We do know that that area was among the first colonized by the Germanic expansion, via the Goths, implying a certain ease of access to Germanic people. If it happened once it could have happened before, basically. Considering the Dacians descriptions (fierce warriors, strong and tall, light skinned and haired, with blue eyes) they were likely Germanic, and not what the Romans considered Germanic (ruddy celts) , but our current conception of Germanic (nords).

Not at all. It's just a blatant ripoff of the Iliad.

a strange lot. they claimed to stop the terror but they then went about guillotining all the jacobins and sans culotte and the poor that supported them. but the terror if anything made all of them extremely jaded and cynical. In the spirit of opposition to anything jacobin, they became what can be said "decadent." whereas before all festivities or cheerfulness or social gatherings and soirees had been banished out of the streets out of hatred for anything aristocratic, they made a triumphant return. people drank with abandon, lavish balls and social gatherings were held. fashions now changed with dizzying pace, one person trying to outdo the next in extravagance. But whereas before, such things really were the thing of aristocratic life, they were occupied by the upper and upper middle classes. the from poor got erased from the picture. The Winter of 1794 was brutal. The temperatures were harsh and the harvest very poor. But whereas the Jacobins established a maximum price on grain and had punished alleged hoarders and price gougers, the Thermidoreans deregulated the grain market and so prices rose catastrophically high out of reach of the poor. Thousands starved and in the following Spring a final rousing protest and show of force by sans culottes and jacobins got crushed mercilessly.

This was not only the Thermidorean's way of saying "fuck you" to the Parisian artisans and poor for their radical behavior, but also as a consequence of a new liberal ethos emerging. As the thinking went, the poor were poor because they chose to be. The rich were rich from hard work. The poor needed to be disciplined by economic forces, the well off needed to control and exploit those forces. So this spirit of liberalism. (cont.)

>>2310837
So this spirit of liberalism bred a new hierarchical spirit among the wealthy. With the aristocrats out of the frame, they thought, it could be argued now that they were men of ability and initiative, the so-called "active citizenry" which the first years of the revolution (what is called the liberal revolution) granted the sole right to vote. After all, didn't the first revolutionaries promise to "throw all occupations open to talent." As they saw it, this had been achieved, and so the revolution could be said to be over as economic liberty took precedence over equality and fraternity.

The well to do, as i mentioned, were now the ones to rule the streets. Before, the poor and the sans culotte had done so, and used their numbers to bring to bear much pressure on the revolutionary assemblies to take their interests into account. It also helped that they had champions in these assemblies like Robespierre and other montagnards who recognized their suffering. The journalists desmoulin and marat were also vigorous advocates for them. Now they were all gone, though. Terror and Thermidor wiped the "far left" out of politics. As for the politics of the street, that had been decimated by the winter of 1794/95 and the protests that followed. This April protest really demonstrates the balance of power. The protests were huge and stormed the national assembly. But they were leaderless, they didn't know what to do with their force. Any remaining Jacobins who spoke out in their favor got guillotined. The national guard massacred protestors. And to top it off we see the emergence of a band of middle class youths, dressed elegantly in the latest fashions. These were jeunesse doree who ruthlessly aided the militia, beating the poor with their clubs and who would seize the streets. In effect, they pushed the poor back into their tenements and demolished the sans culotte who represented the popular politics so important to the events of the previous years.

>>2310903
The streets so cleared, the thermidoreans and their supporters could flaunt their new grip on the republic. Cafe life bloomed, the upper and middle classes began to feel safe again and for the first time we see a fixation on promenading so popular throughout the nineteenth century. The latest fashions could be flaunted, the poor could be frightened with refinement and manners, the latter of which came back with a vengeance. Previously, the earthy tones of the parisians had been the tone adopted by street protestors and politicians trying to woo them or who feared them. But there was also a genuinely egalitarian sentiment in those optimistic years of the early revolution. The aristocratic order had been overturned, and society, for a moment, seem to have been leveled. No longer did men address their superiors with the formal "vous" but adopted the informal "tu;" no longer were men of some status to be addressed as "monsieurs;" all were now "citoyens." After Thermidor, this stopped. Order and hierarchy, the reasoning went among the higher ups, needed to be restored. And so it was that "vous" and "monsieur" made their appearance again; to recognize the new ascendance of the bourgeois in the social order.

Either gay, an autistic or an autistic gay.

Considering he was the most influential economist of the 20th century I'd imagine so

>>2310424
Friedman was the best communicator to lay people tho

He was the most influential economist of the twentieth century. Unfortunately he was not also the best. And yes I have read his works.

Except the US just lost integrity, lives, and money not their whole country. It was a stupid war to get involved with in the first place and cutting our losses was a smart thing to do. It wasn't like the protesters sabotaged anything.

It's not a myth.

/art/ general?

Anyone know of any decent art survey courses that are up on YouTube or whatever? Or any good general intro art books? I started watching a series on Modern Art (realism to abstract expressionism) and that was p. interesting but I like having sequential, chronological knowledge of things, so I'd really appreciate something that gives me that.

Don't know why I waited this long to get into learning about fine art. It's fascinating.

In the Trojan cycle, allegedly Akilleus was dressed up in a peasant girl's outfit, only to be outed in a contest of martial skill.

All of these youtube 'intellectual' ideologues need to stop. They are all stupid and are woefully under qualified to discuss what they talk about. I dont know why anyone watches them, but if I had to guess its because they're idiots and will listen to the first moron who gets their attention.

France was even more crushed economically than Germany, who artificially inflated their currency to try and minimize debt. The only problem with Versailles is that it wasnt enforced strictly.

Germany could have been BTFO as soon as they reoccupied the rheinland

This.

And remind the Germans that their country will be occupied if they screw around.
