Anyone live next to any historical ruins/buildings or just old shit in general?
I live in Northern England and pic related is part of Hadrian's Wall.
i live around 500m away from castle does it count?
Basically everyone in rural Europe, mate.
I live near a roman Colosseum, I'm a bong too.
My village church about 3 mins walk from me at least pre-dates the Norman Conquest
What should one read and do in general to become a ubermensch? I'm completely serious.

I recently learned a lot about the Gauls while studying ancient Europe, and I notice the Gauls have a large population, as well as a really advanced culture, and I wondered how they could sustain a tribe of 168,000 people in just a bunch of huts, but that wouldn't make sense, so the Gauls must've had pretty big cities right?
They were also described as having cities by Caesar in his Gallic wars, and the battle of Alesia included a Gaul fighting force of about 100,000 soldiers in modern estimates, They must have had a pretty well coordinated army and a country and civilization of their own that people don't realize, a civilization probably on par with ancient Rome itself. I think a lot of Gaul writing and culture was lost when Rome conquered it, and they were purposely erased from history.
This is Tenochtitlan, supposedly at its peak with 200,000 people. That one particular Gaulish tribe had 168,000 in it, so they must've had sizable cities

They didn't have cities, they had shithole hillfort settlements (glorified villages), they weren't properly urbanized before the Greek and the Romans colonized their lands
The region had an extremely long history, longer than Rome extending far into the prehistoric area starting with cave paintings:

Greece had a long history of trading with them hundreds of years before the Romans:

They sure had a lot of gold, jewelry and currency:

Why western society today is so obsessed with fit? I mean, it always was. But now what is it with all the forced "motivational" bullshit that is always connected with lifting and training?
Another question is: What is the obssesion with hand to hand combat like mma? Why people want to do that shit? It's like a new trend of what?
I'm not a nolstalgic or a /pol/ack ready to call every one degenerate, but how we got from John Wayne the strong silent type to the archetype of a juicehead? The strengt of John wayne was in his character and in his morals, now it's more a superficial thing. What happened?
>inb4 /fit/
>inb4 Muh true 'merican
As much as I love John Wayne the archetype of a man like him causes even more damage than the juicehead imho. But that's another statement for another post
On MMA, people have always loved fighting. Wrestling and boxing are as old as it gets and exist in every culture, violence is ingrained into us.
The 'juice head' style of macsulinty fill the void left by john Wayne types left when it died out in the 60 and the huge cultural shift it brought. All the image foucued staff has been steadily trickling it ever since then really, along with the mores senstive 'new man', and metrosexulals.
>>2222211
The simple answer is that in John Wayne's era the average man probably HAD to be physically fit from manual labor or sporting, while the modern sedentary lifestyle doesn't require that sort of thing at all, and can net you a cushy 6-figure lifestyle with a pencil-neck physique. The widespread understanding of anabolic steroids combines with this effect to create
mens fitness magazines" and other media to fill the niche. Now, you too can feel like like a rugged manly-man while working at a call centre.
MMA I don't think is totally related, boxing and blood-sport has always been popular. Better filming and broadcasting techniques just make it more exciting to watch, and easier to market. Marketing is everything my dude.

>tfw the era of crushing capitalism is over
I loathe communism but I agree that having no alternative system to free market capitalism present in the world has led moral laxity, and a deficit of vigour in West's sense of its self.

>tfw capitalism does that on it own
Too bad everything else is going down with it

Any English major here who can spot out the grammatical error in pic related?

Use of "they" as a singular pronoun

Singular they has been around since the 1300s
Why are 21st century military forces so shit at conquering?

>Why are 21st century military forces so shit at conquering?
Becuase the general public does not want war.
