>Polygamy: in which multiple people love each other, enter into a consensual agreement between one another and abide by each other's agreed upon terms, is wrong, immoral and illegal
>Adultery: in which a man or a woman deceived and manipulated their spouse, strung them along through deceipt, ruining their life and family, potentially exposing them to STDs, is perfectly legal and faces no punishment, and the taboo on adultery is decreasing year by year
Why is polygamy illegal and immoral in western society?

Because God said so.
Convenient legal reason is because they're against pedophilia.

there's a story where Caligula supposedly declared war on Poseidon and had his legions stand on the beach and stab the water....after so many hours he eventually declared victory and had his men collect sea shells as a war trophy

Yeah, he was going to invade Britain but lost his nerve when he got to the shore and thought sea shells would suffice as evidence of his victory... I think

The senate and legions could tolerate a decadent emperor, but if his shenanigans extended to them he would be seen as a liability and disposed of.

Exactly how difficult was it to create cannons?
I am asking because it seems odd to me that the Chinese discovered gunpowder but then it took almost five hundred years before anyone figured out how to put in a metal tube in order to propel an object.
Was metallurgy that difficult? I am finding that hard to believe when crucible steel was being forged for well over a thousand years by that point.

Welding was really difficult and the idea just didn't hit anyone's minds back then
>>
Everything is simpler in hindsight.
And in any case, gunpowder explodes and shit, you don't just play around with different ideas and hope that one of them turns out cool instead of blowing off your fingers.
>>
It's very challenging, if there are any cracks or imperfections in the cannon then it is likely to explode and kill the operator instead of the target.

Why is Islamic governance law basically a carbon copy of Old Testament Judaic law?
13 Posts / 2 Images

Religion was a mistake
>>
Because Satan created Islam to lead as many people as possible away to damnation through spiritual pride, hypocrisy, and the rejection of the Son of God, and the only way to do that is to have a moral system that actually allows a society to function and grow, and the only moral system that allows for that is the traditional morality that all ancient societies practiced to a degree and that the Abrahamic tradition perfected.
Basically, the devil mixed just enough truth with just enough lies to create a rival to Christianity, since pure Pharisaism wasn't up to the challenge, seeing how it was too insular. Islam is basically just a version of Pharisaism with parts like evangelism stolen from Christianity to weaponize it against Christianity itself, plus the replacement of God with a Bedouin moon demon, and the insertion of various Arab pagan doctrines to cobble together the resulting inconsistencies.
Islam has proven a very effective tool for its master so far.

Just because you idiots haven't figured out how to reconcile the Elohist vs Yahwist schism/heresy doesn't mean Allah is automatically a false god

Because it's an essential part of our history as Europeans -or euro-americans, in the case of the US-.
I find Romans boring too, but I understand that students must learn about them.

theyre boring for the same reason Seinfeld is boring now. everyone else ripped off of them so much that when you see the original, it seems derivative.

Why was Arab Socialism so much more successful at economic improvement that applications of socialism in Eastern European and Latino countries?
Is it because they have a large mineral resource base and that they also allowed for a moderate degree of small private businesses to operate?
I'll use two main examples: Egypt and Iraq
Before Nasser, Egypt was a very poor rural country without a middle class. Pretty much masses of peasantry ruled by a very wealthy elite. Nasser's programs included building the Aswan dam and providing electricity to much of Egypt. He built an Egyptian middle class and allowed millions of Egyptians to now have access to education and college, and massively increased employment levels. Unlike in Cuba, socialist Egypt under Nasser witnessed no huge flight of capital or millions leaving the country.
In Iraq, in 1975, Saddam completely nationalised the previously British owned oil industry and with the revenue built a first world class national healthcare system where every citizen had free healthcare. Not to mention he succeeded in building huge roads and highways and providing free education, and greatly increased the quality of life for the average citizen, largely through the oil money, even though the British sanctioned the country after the 1975 nationalisation.
Why were Arab implementations of socialism so much more successful at improving economic development and quality of life than European and Latino socialist countries?

But Nasser and Saddam wrecked their respective economies, which before them was already fast growing and industrializing.
>>
>>2220986
That's actually not true
>>
>Iraq: couldn't win a war against Iran, a country under sanctions that cleared minefields via teenagers charging into them (this is unsurprising since the Baath party was founded by the Nazis and we all know how good the Nazis are at war)
>Egypt: continually increasing poverty that eventually resulted in a popular overthrow of the government
>Syria: continually increasing poverty combined with climate change (massive crop failures resulted in farmers fleeing to urban areas) and harsh crackdowns resulted in a popular uprising against the government (again, government is run by Baathists, but this time they're being aided by incompetent Russian troops who mainly just bomb residential areas and hospitals/get shot down by Turkey)

Name one example from history where ""peaceful"" civilian protest has achieved anything.
Edgy teens gathering in a public place and chimping out for hours has never brought about any real change or impacted any government in any way.
All perceived victories of "peaceful protest" have come as a result of external factors,with negligible contributions from the protesters.
Thoughts?

I think the process of Indian independence was a bit more complicated than a couple hundred people sitting down in front of the parliament house and not eating, but i won't say anything about that because i haven't read up on it.

Why were the Winged Hussars such an effective heavy cavalry even in the age of gunpowder?
How did they make mincemeat of Swedes and Russians with 90:1 KDRs?
How did their style still crush the Ottoman line in 1683 almost a century later?

Source?
>How did their style still crush the Ottoman line in 1683 almost a century later?
The Ottomans were attacked by many forces and the Hussars just dealt the finising blow
>Why were the Winged Hussars such an effective heavy cavalry even in the age of gunpowder?
Because gunpowder weapons back then took a while to reload and the Hussars wore plate armor meaning they could survive a shot
>>
>>2220922
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kircholm
80:1 here, higher against Russians.
The Hussars were the decisive moment in the Battle of Vienna. The Ottomans were not under significant attack before the Poles arrived. It was a siege.

>Effective
Kek they were often cucked on the battlefield when put up against glorious Swedish Caroleans

question for /his/
What was the world's most dominant empire?
You may choose any reason you like, from total area, religious influence, etc.
(In my opinion, one of the world's most dominant empires was the British. Feel free to debate with me.)

I personally think that they had potential in promoting democracy in Asia, not this one party communist meme. What if they had less corruption in their party in the beginning of the century? China WOULD be the smartest nation in the world, it'd be the USA on steroids. Thoughts?
