Because it turns out the job of an officer isn't the same as the job of a line infantrymen, and picking your officers based on how good they are at knocking other people on the head and bringing them back as prisoners is incredibly dumb.

>>2265726
Please tell me that's a bait.
It literally worked for the previous kings.

>>2265749

No, I'm dead serious.

And just because a system worked in spite of its flaws doesn't mean the flaws are non-existent and/or cannot be improved upon.

You could just as easily say that it was stupid for most European countries to stop awarding commands based on paying for them as was the norm for centuries. After all, it literally worked for lots of wars.

>Why did a bunch of Germans set up shop on the baltic coast in the middle of nowhere?

Polish dukes were trying to conquer neighboring Old Prussians and Christianize them, and overtime Old Prussians raided them in retaliation later some Polish duke got butthurt and invited Teutonic Order.

>>2265720
>he fell for the justification for the Order's existance given by the Chronicle of Prussia.

The work /comissioned/ by the Order, in order to help them justify themselves against western criticms of their imperialistic venture.

1)Gee wizz lets chirstianise these pepes
2)German mission to Livonia occurs
3)Oh god they keep lying about baptism and keep attacking us ;_;
4)Armed conversion + Sword brothers established
5)Danes show up and nab Estonia because 'muh economic colony'
6)German mission slowly plods around Riga, bftoing Russian princes and pagans
7)Polish are useless, get raided by the pagans because >woo free gold
8)Polish duke invites this new Order of Germans around to help him
9)Germans are wary, since Hungarians did this, then kicked them out after the raiders were killed
10)Germans arrive anyway, start building forts and advancing
11)Pagans aren't unified and are shit at sieges + no armour so Order rekts them
12)Order ADVANCES
13)Order absorbs the Sword Brothers after the latter walks into an ambush
14)A small part of the Order tries an advance towards the Rus, get driven back (about 20 knights), they give that up
15)Link up with Livonian mission
16)Spend the rest of the time arguing with the Bishop of Riga while fighting Lithunia
17)Crusaders are useless since they show up, go 'LET ME FIGHT', then fuck off when you tell them that it's not fighting time (normally they just go hunt a peasant or a deer)
18)Forests and weather reduces the struggle to 100 years of border raiding

300 is too cheesy and fantasyish for my tastes. I fell asleep halfway through, maybe it was meant for the big screen and 3d glasses.

>>2265310
These are not Kino.
Maybe only Gladiator.

Vastly underrated for their contributions to the modern world (rockets, zero, wootz steel). I know next to nothing about them, myself. Would like to know more.

>>2265279
The original poos. Can never in loos.

How prevalent was nudity/toplessness in ancient India? Looking at their art is seems many were.

No, it is social status. Money and power are just two of the most direct routes to social status. But some people take different routes, like trying to signal how virtuous they are.

i just wanna be a billionaire shut in hiki in a luxurious penthouse in mid town Manhattan and fuck higher tier prostitutes desu

Obviously not.

He pretty much did. Reed got BTFO in the primary.

He also seems to have appointed MacArthur as SecDef, avoiding a potential coup.

Prussia was what happens when autists, who would in modern times be 4chan posters, manage to get a country.

>jerk off to supremacy, military uniforms, penis-helmets and muh war
>get wrecked by some Corsican fuckboi manlet

Chad always wins.

Prussia was what happens when a homosexual fagget who had his lover murdered by his dad gets a country.

So many Africans, Latins, and the International Jewry hating on us Germanics. Pretty funny how we used to rule the world once and we will continue to until we are genocided for not stooping down to their level, or our Asian overlords step it up.

>>2264625
Yes, but losing it to a prostitute wasn't

Male virginity doesn't serve any functional role, the concept doesn't. I think the social observance of it in our society, that machismo character that is something more than first or base libido, it's a projection and imputation of the real and true female neuroses about 'purity', social expectation of paternity, etc - inverted and thrust onto men. Machismo is trivial and trite, yet it sees itself as conspicuous, or maybe having some parity with female virginity and this seems wildly aberrant and unhealthy

Well, it's a relative golden age. They mainly managed to preserve older scientific advances, but didn't do much om their own to advance science

Dan Carlins hardcore history is pretty good. Gets into a lot of detail, only downside is that there are only a few subjects he touches on.

>>2264298

I read an autisticly detailed post on reddit about how many mistakes he makes and how the redditor emailed him and he brushed it off and got defensive about it. I dont know how true that is, and I love Dan Carlin, but I'm scared that there might be some problems in it.

Living hell, one side you had whites treating you like crap, and on the other side your own race treated you like shit for being a sellout.

>>2263806
The second part is absolutely false.
>>2263795
As my family has spoken on it; imagine be economically, educationally and fundamentally leaps and bounds ahead of a supposed superior people yet having to step to the street when a white person even a child walks past you. You could never be called Mister or Sir, your honorific is Nigger _____. You cannot look a white person in the eye and save for servants and hair dressers could never put yourself near a white women save for the absolute poorest that you might marry.

Your entire life, livelihood and savings depends on whites who find you intrinsically inferior protecting you from white masses whose sense of self is tarnished whenever a black person of means is known. You could never be a legal witness, never be judged by your peers and possibly loss favor at any moment

This in essence was the experience of blacks of wealth well into the 1950's in the south
