Why would they want to? Real life isn't a game of risk.
It was never in their interest.

>when it had the chance
are you implying something?
In medieval times in Europe, how was the life of a peasant or serf living in a village? Did knights and lords actually went out of their way to protect poor settlements and villages under their rule or leave them fend for themselves?
I imagine this would be even more of a problem during wartime when the military is busy and most of the citizens are left undefended. In this scenario, what exactly stops bands of bandits and deserters to sack towns and villages?
Was adventuring common? Did the regular folk amass money for bounties on bandits that bullied them in the hope that adventurers and warbands came to help? As far as I know bandits were a common thing in the dark ages, and so were mercenary companies and marauders.
I asked plenty of questions, give me plenty of answers please.

My answer to you is:gonna read a book you lazy fuck.

Which book you ambiguous fuck? Most shit relating to the middle ages is about lords, ladies and kebab.

I'm also interested, OP.
Ave is a Latin word, used by the Romans as a salutation and greeting, meaning "hail". It is the singular imperative form of the verb avēre, which meant "to be well"; thus one could translate it literally as "be well" or "farewell".

He had autism?
Is it morally justifiable to allow yourself to be poor?
>>2109622
excess wealth corrupts most people better to be poor than corrupt
I'm In Alabama and I'm poor as fuck. I make less than minimum wage because factories like taking Mexicans because they keep there illegal mouthed closed and work hard. I would rather be poor than to be corrupt though.
What went wrong?
Everything.
Nothing.

That refutes you.

Liberal democracy? Don't make me laugh.

>"Give me 100 000 Croats and i will conquer the world" Napoleon
I believe he could've conquered the world, he just made some life threating mistakes at Russia and The Battle of Waterloo. What do you guy think
Funny how irrelevant nations always have that kind of quotes from Napoleon or Hitler
Heard it about
-Poles
-Croats
-Czech
-Albanians
-Lithuanians
-Portuguese
-Greeks
Etc...

uh. no.
He could have legitimately retaken Constantinople though.

Let's not forget the Irish, who got turned into cannon fodder by anyone who bothered to flatter them.
if poland was full of jews during the 20th century, why was it still a shithole?
>>2108473
Jewish subversion
they were rural jews who migrated there after the threat of raids by steppe peoples diminished in the early modern era, thus were not as wealthy as the urban jews in western Europe
>>2108473
It wasn't that much of a shithole in 20th century.
There were worse countries in Western Europe,
And considering the fact that Poland was merged from three pieces of other countries, they were quite successful.
It really boggles my mind why no-one gives a single shit about Austria. The last two world wars were both caused by people that were at some moment austrian citizens. And no-one bats an eye. They have caused the deaths of hundreds of millions of innocent people, yet everone thinks that the germans are evil murerous childraters. Do you sometimes wonder why there are so few austrians on 4chan? It`s because they think that they are superior to us peasants. The ones you see here are german immigrants. Do you ever wonder why the swiss are so worried about defence, why they have conscription, mined bridges and tunnels? Do you really think its the french or italians they fear? The swiss know. They know what the austrians are capable of, and thats the real reason why they are not in the EU. It all starts making sense when you realise that the austrians are capable of things you can not even start to imagine. Why do you think that the Balkans is such a constant shitshow, protip its not the turks.
Nobody ever listens, but if we want to advance as a species then destroying Austria is a must. They have plunged the world into utter destruction two times in the last century, and they WILL do it again. They use the germans as scapegoats, because the germans are simple robots that will always do their masters bidding. The austrians are the actual jews. Do you ever wonder why you almost never see austrians on int? It`s because they are plotting their next step. I can`t even imagine what the new lefty prime minister Van der Bellen will plans for Europe. The entire refugee crysis is masterminded by the austrians who want to trigger a civil war in Germany, so that the German Federation collapses and divides into differeny duchies. Bavaria will be incorporated into Austria and the austrians will once again be the rulers of the germanosphere and entire Europe if their plan succeeds. But if it doesn`t, then the entire world will just think that Germany is just sperging out again and bomb it to the ground, while vile austrians just laugh in their lederhosen and retreat to the Alps for a few decades to drink beer, yodel and hatch their new insidious plan to destroy Europe. WAKE UP! THEY WILL DO IT AGAIN IF WE DO NOT STOP THEM NOW!
t. deflecting German.
Let's just glass central Europe.
that's completely ridiculous
tell me about these people /his/, what do they do? more importantly, were they kangs?
>were they kangs?
If you are asking if they are a meme made up by desperate poorfags, no, they all, especially the Khmer, actually existed and accomplished cool shit.
You are familiar with Angkor Wat, right? You've at least heard of it? They built it.

The power that dominates the world is not economic power.
It is absolute military force. violence! violence! violence!
The Communist Party of China and Vladimir Putin understand this very well.
They are right.
Western Europe and the United States, on the other hand, insist on liberalism and morality, disturbing the world.
By the way, I am happy if I have the Internet.
You still need science to develope your military prowess.
And science costs money and alot of other resources outside human capital that are attained through money.
Either yo got the dolla or you can holla at the enemy army, homie.
In the past the general idea was that people unite to stop some tyrant cucking everyone and it worked, more or less. However the west doesn't care about liberalism and morality anymore. We have become decadent deluded degenerates. That is why Putin and China are on the rise again, because we let them.

Somebody say World governance?
Has Germany been nothing but a threat to the stability of Europe since its founding?
JUST
Seems like it. Franco-Prussian war, militarism leading into WWI, fascism leading into WW2, and now a gate for any random durkadurkastani to pass through and enter Europe
>>2107771
Germany is actually THE anchor of stability in Europe.
So, what's the deal with the holocaust? Are there really such big holes in the story that justify skepticism?
>>2105855
No, it's more that you have some fringe political movements which need to erase the holocaust from happening in order to justify themselves, so they use incredibly specious logic to attempt to throw doubt on what is actually a pretty compelling narrative.
>>2105855
>Are there really such big holes in the story that justify skepticism?
not really. Skepticism of it is just neo-nazi PR to try and at least make it into "not such a big deal" since one of the main reasons people dont like nazism is because of the whole genocidal aspect of it.
>>2105855
No. but there are some aspects of it that are either bullshit or exagerated. Like anything about turning people into soap or lampshade ect.
But the narrative of the nazi government brutally oppressing mostly jews, forcing them into slave labour camps, sending out death squads to hunt them down, and eventually genociding 6 million of them is true
You die and meet up with god, before he sends you to the after-life he says that you can meet up with any dead historical figure and bant with them.
Who do you choose? What do you say?
I will meet with Cicero and tell him everything that happened to Rome and how historians agree the republic died during his lifetime.
I'll meet up with Otto I and say to him:
>H
>R
>E
>meet Attila
>have him impregnate me
>Attila god-tier genetics carry over
>child makes afterlife their bitch
>bring back angry ghostarmy to reestablish SPQR
>???
>profit
>>2105004
>agree the republic died during his lifetime
It'd be hard not to blame Cicero for helping it's fall though, he's the one who started the practice of killing Roman citizens with no questions asked
