A lot of it is, but often they come to conclusions we know now are false. So you have to be critical of there claims.

>>2135678
But should you have to cross reference every source you ever check?

But that criticism can be made against every form of government.

I've read the Heydecker book but I can't remember why he was hanged other than for being an incredibly zealous, annoying piece of shit. I tried looking for it but I gave up once I found the first article comparing him to Trump.

Costs

It costs money to make the javalins
It takes money to train people to use then
It then takes money to transport them

If the ability of the weapon does not exceed its cost the it isnt viable as a weapon. Therefore javalins fell out of favor and the bow and crossbow supplanted it.

Javalins eventually stopped being able to break shields and formations due to new advances in armor and military organization
Once it lost its ability to break infantry formations it no longer mattered compared to the cheaper alternatives. Arrows

Where do you mean? The Irish for example were still using javelins well into the 17th century

The Jarid was widespread in Eastern Europe and Orient.

I read somewhere that cats may have actually domesticated us.

Pest control is no joke. Rats were a big concern.

Well Socrates said to commit no injustice to no one. And then advocates in the republic to leave deformed babies to die from exposure.

The stoics advocated abortions too because it was rational. The best for the Roman state. Some emperors outlawed it but not for reasons that concerned the unborn baby. But that it deprived the father of an heir.

I don't care that a lot of women did it for selfish reasons, that women often killed their babies with or without their husbands approval.

I care that moral thinkers thought it was right to abort deformed babies. While I agree that it is rational, I think nature should run it's course. I mean if suffering was inevitable in life then how come when it comes to deformed babies/fetuses that it is just to "put it out of it's misery"

I like the part where God says it is a sin for men to lay with other men. I think a lot of modern (Catholic) Christians could stand to think long and hard about this passage, and maybe they wouldn't have chosen the heretic of a Pope known as Francis.

I like the part where God says "ayy yall got any more that forbidden fruit kush shit dank af yo lmao". I think a lot of modern Sarah Palin's could stand to think long and hard (lol) about this passage, and mayne they wouldn't have chosen the baboon of a President known as Trump.

Me in 10 years

I personally don't believe this, because if this quote was true than we would have had Islam empire, Roman Empire, Alexander The Great's empire Persian, Egyptian kingdom, mongol empire, and many others. It just sounds good, but isn't true. Sword out weights the pen.

Wouldn't have.

The joke is that Jefferson was a staunch republican with strong libertarian leanings, who feared someone like Hamilton would overthrow the republic and establish a monarchy.

The question of Julius Caesar's greatness is secondary to Hamilton's excellent baiting of Tommy J.

Generally speaking, the abolishment of stratified and taxonomic categorical thinking. This pigeon-holes us into certain preboxed and unreflective modes of thinking.

It was. Some American technocrats thought that the Soviet Union was still quite the powerhouse it had been since the end of the Second world War, but this was a fantasy.

President Reagan and Prime Minister Thatcher were now unintentionally constructing a fake version of the Soviet Union, and they were taking this fake version of what was in fact a crumbling former powerhouse to the heart of Afghanistan, where it would mutate into a complete fiction world that still haunts us today

It was, especially since ~1987. Inherently ineffective economic and political systems, low oil prices (the only thing international market was interested in), huge politically motivated social security spending (because of MUH WORKER PARADISE), a dozen of unwilling satellites to keep in check, the Afghan war, raising nationalism in national republics, real food shortage threats (USSR had been buying grain from US and Canada since 60s because apparently socialism and agriculture don't work well together), rise of popular consumerism and total disenchantment as a result of ruling elites to provide expected standards of living, huge military spending.

In the end the oil/food problem was fatal. USSR leadership had to negotiate deconstruction of the empire and political reforms in exchange for loans they spent on buying food supplies. They tried to introduce some limited marked economy while controlling prices on the basic goods and food and refusing to back down on social security, resulting in huge real inflation, black market and goods shortages. Attempts of political reforms from above finally demoralized the population and the party lost popular support it had for so long. The new national elites in the republics use this to gradually undermine central authority, until the center finally accepted it's over in the December 1991.

From regular person's POV it was a time of sudden rise of crime rates, drugs, poverty and slow disintegration of society into the total mess the 90s will be.

By the 80's it was a complete mess. Having state control of 90% of production is prone to disaster. There was a black market back then, of course. People kinda take for granted how well the market is able to distribute goods.
