1812.

Some time in the mid 1700's. Prior to this, the Dutch's was better.

The 7 years war was when Britain really became a great power in the European theater.

Probably the War of the Spanish succession with the capture of Gibraltar and Mahon.

>by 1914 were in a position where they couldn't beat Germany and by 1939 were in danger of being annihilated
Rubbish. The British together with their allies managed to win WWI against another two superpowers and while they had a bad start at the beginning of WWII they managed to hold their ground and eventually start winning battles against the Axis powers even before the Yankees joined the war.

Having a large empire is actually economically unsustainable. That's why they were losing their colonies in the time of crisis.

intresting

Muslims are violent people today because of Islamic fundamentlism. Reaction to the Western influence and globalization process.

>>2192972
...so we should continue the globalization process and merge with them into one population.

>>2193422
Atleast everyone will be muslim, but i guess then religious discrimination will become racial even in one religion.

Produces much of what he rails against, i.e. too much personal politics in his analysis.

>>2192931
How could he detach that from historical analysis though, outside of strictly non-political topics (E.G. his analysis of the economy of the Weimar republic)

If you're writing about economic history of anything that took place in the last 500 years, I don't know how you could exclude politics.

>>2192899
>I think he's a very impressive historian
Anything after his rothschild biography is absolute garbage, none of it is original and it is purely ideologically driven.

The dude gets to make programmes on the BBC, so claiming he's brave or edgy is utter nonsense.

While that fun really does look beautiful I really do wonder at how comfortable would it be to shoot. That grip's angle seems absolutely atrocious on your wrist.
Also pic related favourite weapon (well style of weapon anyway).

one of the more prominent economic and political theorists of the soviet union and one of the architects of the NEP

no, he would have quickly been butchered by tankies, even Trotsky could have had him

I really hope you aren't imlying Adorno had even the tiniest optimism for both capitalism or socialism. Both are enlightenment cuck ideologies.

Honestly Adorno is just secular De Maisre.

>>2192802
Nope but I'm a technologist so to speak so I tend do think that with even more tech progress we can attain enough comfort to start producing authentic art and subsequently again.

I know Adorno thought that technology is just another Enlightenment spook for humans to control ie attain power over nature to easier attain power over humans. Still I remain positive.

Was he insane?

Pro-tip: Golden ages don't exist. So sick of seeing "When was the golden age of X?" threads on here.

>>2192623

Different parts have had 'golden' ages at different points in time.

It is idiotic to try and amalgamate them into one homogenous geographical region and think that what applied in one place was equivalent in the other.

>>2192663
>Golden ages don't exist.
perhaps in you particular brand of autism they don't, but for most of the world they do and are recorded as such.
>>2192623
The only thing the tan area has in common is having a Muslim majority and being part of the vague Intermediate region https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_Region
So the Maghreb, Levant, Persia, Arabia, Anatolia, Caucus mountains, Turkistan and northern India don't share a golden age with each other but have separate golden ages if any.
