Because of the narrative about all civilization beginning with the greeks before the torch being passed to the romans.
In this story the dirty iranians are the "other" that only exist to be defeated by the handsome europeans.

Wut?

If you mean by the Mainstream Western Pop History and Hollywood then its because of this:

I still can't believe they've never made a movie about this, it's definitely one of those "real life is stranger than fiction" moments.

It's kind of like how John Stewart would say that he isn't really news, it's just comedy. It's so if he makes some bullshit assertion, he can just fall back on lol I'm just a history fan.

He's not a historian, so he says he isn't.

He entertains with historical stories.

Do they?

Because Carthage didn't send reinforcements.

Was his army not large enough to lay siege to Rome, even directly after his victory at Cannae?

Rome knew he was running on borrowed time.

They actually don't but they are keeping up appearances which is still very important.

How exactly was Wellington a sperg?

>>2211610
>He rarely showed emotion in public, and often appeared condescending to those less competent or less well-born than himself (which was nearly everyone). However, Álava was a witness to an incident just before the Battle of Salamanca. Wellington was eating a chicken leg while observing the manoeuvres of the French army through a spyglass. He spotted an overextension in the French left flank, and realised that he could launch a successful attack there. He threw the drumstick in the air and shouted "Les français sont perdus!" ("The French are lost!").[202] After the Battle of Toulouse, an aide brought him the news of Napoleon's abdication, and Wellington broke into an impromptu flamenco dance, spinning around on his heels and clicking his fingers.

Pick one you frog

Like now it wasn't really seen as a disorder but as odd behaviour.

For the most part these people were never "ound out" because they lived very secretive lives in fear of what the rest of society thought.

People who say insane asylum are just being edgy.

The only reasonable response is to be medicated to balance out the brain.

Science and society weren't ready at the time to understand or fully comprehend what being a tranny was. I'm sure most were beaten to 'set em straight' or just socially shunned until they conformed.

I would legitimately fucking go. I'm not doing anything worthwhile right now anyway, I might as well be part of history and stop the cancer of Islam.

>Would any current states actually officially back the movement?

The only one I can really think of would be the Phillipines

>Any leaders?

See above

>Would random Christians from across the world actually take up arms?

Probably but not a lot Im guessing. Crusading seems to be somewhat anachronistic today and against Church teachings of love and tolerance and you know the whole "Thou Shalt Not Kill" thing.

>If so, what would the result be?

Probably a disorganised mess. If they are trying to carry out an effective conventional war against a non-state actor, then the Nation State has proven to be the most capable in organising such endeavours.

I wonder how many Protestant Americans would suddenly become Catholic for an excuse to go shoot brown people.

what prostitution? Yes it was normal in multiple cultures.


>pic

Interestingly enough Shia Islam still promotes one night marriage stands in Shia territories, while Sunnis have long abandoned the practice that Muhammad gave.

Yes, prostitution has been quite prominent in human history and in the Anglosphere it only became a shame under the Victorian era and even with that it was only frowned upon amongst the upper class.

it's called the oldest profession for obvious reasons

I mean, he's not wrong.
If we look at Christian Civilization as a society, industrialism and modernism is the age of decadence before the fall where idiots like >>2211410 crop up.
We should go back to the numerous societies which were communes but not communistic.
The Medieval world gave us progress.
Cut out the Middle Ages and none of this would be here.

>The future is 25 years ago already.

Sorry, but it'd be the EU.

The EU sucks though, so really it'd be the Chinese and Japanese maintaining order in their own little sphere while the west falls into terminal decline.

Warmaking capacity has far more to do with GDP than it does with population.
