Why did exclusive homosexuality/a gay identiy only come into existence into existence in the 19th/20th century? The oldest one I can think of is Oscar Wilde.
Is it a Christian thing? The teachings about buttfucking another man stigmatized the act so that one could't just casually fuck/love another man without it destroying your identity as a "Christian".
>>2224721
The underlying reason can be traced to a culture centred around consumption, where your identity went from what you made to what you bought. So sex along with everything else became something easily branded, shown and digested.

The act itself =/= Identifying that way.
Plenty of men in prison rape and fuck too, but would never do such a thing outside prison.

Yes, it was. Gorbachev was too idealistic here.
that led it to the forefront of the world...
or was it simply the result of geographical determinism, luck, etc.
is there a uniqueness about Western Civ compared to other civilizations?
Yes.... The University
If there is any unique innovation in Western Civilization, that propelled it self to dominance in intellectual fields, its the university
first "true" university being the University of Bologna in Italy circa 1088 followed by Oxford, Salmanca etc. etc.
Note: there were institutions of learning in Ancient Greece, Persia, China, Rome, Byzantium,Islamic World etc.,
but they were much different in structure than the medieval European university which is the FOUNDATION of the modern university today
Capitalism
Well, for starters, the western civilization was quite close to the start of agriculture, and could therefore quickly start farming themselves. However, contrary to the people in the Fertile Crescent, where temperatures were quite mild, winters could be difficult, and thus, something was needed to store food. In winter, there was not much to do, and thus, there was time to think and improve their way of life. Other parts of the world either (1) did not have harsh winters or (2) were far away from the Fertile Crescent or (3) were still sailing in their logs to some of the more shitty islands in the Pacific.
However, other civilizations have risen and fallen before the rise of Western civilization. The 'special' thing about Western civilization is an abundance of resources like iron and wood, easy acces to grains and horses and a willingness to explore.
All in all, Western civilization is nothing special, we have had it very good while developing and continued this advantage well into modern times.
How racist were native africans? I don't mean that in anti-white sense, but black against more black sense. What people from, say, Zimbabwe Empire would think about, say, more primitive tribes from literal jungles?! Thank gods we advanced beyond these zulu, bushmen and pigmeys. Stuff like that.
>>2224052
Its more of a tribalism thing than a race thing

>what is racism
>>2224052
I feel bad for pigmys desu. They are just small and peaceful people who cheerish life and joy who get rekt constantly by their bigger neighbours. They even made special hiding places in trees only they can access. They even live in the trees for a while.
They are like little wood elves.

They were essential in rebuilding Brandenburg and laying the economic foundation for the modern Prussian state.

They also made vineyards in South Africa.
who are the Mechtoids?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechta-Afalou
are they Natufian Africans of Israel circa 9,500 B.C?
are they Veddoids?
The Epipalaeolithic Natufian of Israel from whom the Neolithic realm was assumed to arise is described as having a clear link to Sub-Saharan Africa. The Sub-Saharan element in the remains is also said to be of almost equal importance to that of the Eurasian element. The authors, however, remain cautious because of the small sample size. The authors further speculate that the admixture process between Neolithic people and in situ foragers diluted any discoverable trace of Sub-Saharan ancestry that may have been present.[34]

I've talked about this a thousand times over two years.
Mechtoids are Kiffians.

So exactly how did Islam spread un Indonesia? I've tried googling it but never got satisfaying answers, it would always say that it spread throught Indian merchants but it doesn't make sense to me. How can you convert an entire country just by talking about your religion? And if it really was that, how come the whole world isn't muslim if talking about it is enough?
>How can you convert an entire country just by talking about your religion?
warfare helps
>>2223341
Muslim merchants were well connected to the source of a lot of silver in the Indian ocean. So local kings in Southeast Asia would let them set up merchant colonies to tax their trade. Sometimes they would pick out one of the more important merchants and invite them to court to help manage trade and diplomatic relations with other trade hubs, which were either Muslim or also had a Muslim merchant colony. This meant you had a wordly, educated Muslim at high positions at court who could influence the king, his other officials, and the nobility. It's a bit like how Scandinavia was Christinized I think.
>>2223346
Not sure but i think that except in India Islam spread peacefully in Asia.
What would have been Roman Empire maximum possible extension if they won some crucial battles they lost?
For me, pic related. Original Roman Empire + Dacia + Germania + Mesopotamia + Nubia. Limes would have been Vistula River + Carpathian Mountains + Dniester River in Northern Europe (shorter than Rhin-Danube thus easier to defend; Romans wouldn't avance furthemore because it would be too much effort for poor as fuck Sarmatia), Caucasus + Zagros Mountains + Arabian Desert in Asia, and Sahara + Sudd swamp in Africa
>>2222876
Real life isn't a GSG idiot. Rome extended as far as it was able or worthwhile to.
>>2222876
You mean besides the fact that they DIDN'T WANT TO EXTEND?
They willingly relinquished a bunch of territories because they realised it would be too difficult for them to overextend themselves that far and manage all these vast new territories, so they just willingly gave them up. In fact, managing the empire became such a chore that they split it into two empires to make things simpler. This isn't the 2000's with smart phones and internets and satellites and cable. This was back in the day where everything was by horses and carriages, it would take many days just to send a message from one province to another, and years to move armies. For a state like the SPQR that relied on a relatively small but professional full time armed force, maintaining a huge frontier is a pain in the ass.
If only Romans didn't fail in Germania...
