No but professional Armies were.

It was revolutionary because it countered armored, mounted knights. Prior to pikes there was no easy/simple counter to heavily armored horsemen deciding the battle. Pikes also hadnt been used commonly since antiquity. An event doesnt have to be new in order to be revolutionary. For example, Rome was a Republic, when the US became a republic many considered this "revolutionary" despite not being a new idea.

They also apparently didn't teach you how to count.

25 year rule.

In a situation like this, everything changes, and most people become monsters ... it was ugly.

Strength was in number.If you were alone in a house, it was only a matter of time before it was looted and killed ... no matter if you were armed.
I and my family are ready now;I am well armed, I have a good stock and I am "educated".


It is not important what will happen;Earthquake, war, tsunami, extraterrestrials, terrorism, scarcity, economic collapse, riot ... the important thing is that something will happen!


From my experience, you can not survive alone, strength is in numbers, be close to your family, prepare with it, choose your friends wisely and get ready with them too.


1- How did you move safely?


In fact the city was divided into community streets.In our street (15/20 houses) we organized patrols (5 armed men each night) to keep an eye on gangs and enemies.


We traded between us in the street.At 5 kilometers there was a very organized street for the trochus, but it was too dangerous to get there during the day because of the snipers.In addition we were more likely to get striped down than to barter, and I only went there twice, and only when I really needed something special and important (he mainly speaks Medicines, in particular antibiotics).


No one used cars in town because roads were blocked with debris, or other abandoned cars ... and oil was worth gold!


If I had to go somewhere it was night.Never move alone, but never in large group either (2/3 men may be).Always armed, very quickly, and always in the shadows through the ruins, never in the streets.

There were a lot of organized gangs, 10/15 people, sometimes 50 ... but there were also people like you and me, fathers, grandfathers, people long before the shit, now killing and pillaging.


There were not really good and bad guys ... most of them were in between;That is, ready for anything, good or bad.

I read it in Guerre & Histoire, a reasonably serious mainstream magazine.
Wait a minute, I'll look it up.

4/10

Complicated figure who conservatives worship and lefties despise. He made some terrible moves in the long term with the drug war and trickle down economics, not to mention unleashing the modern mainstream media, but overall America found prosperity during his time in office and it wouldn't be fair to rank him any lower than I did.

Maybe if 50 more years we'll be able to look back at Reagan and get a proper picture.

Nixon was the beginning of the end. Reagan was the middle of the end. Bush was the final act. Trump will be when you left the theater and a thief gutted you on the street.

Ordered the national guard to shoot hippies in UCBerkeley. Wish every president was as good.

School needs to be reformed.

After basic education there should be a split between vocational education and academic education.

When you try to keep retards like this in a pre-university schedule, they just fuck it up for everyone. Instead of everyone getting a good education, the system needs to lower itself to a level where 75% of kids can skate through with no problem.

Trying to keep them in school is harmful to everyone

My response is work fucking sucks and I'd rather sit and learn interesting stuff than have to spend a third of my day five days a week dealing with mind-numbing low-level work. This is not a failing of school, school is great. This is a failing of proletarian life and all the more reason why it's something you should want to avoid via education.

Germans are culturally cynical people and have a history of questioning power structures. See Martin Luther, Armenius, Marx etc.

What goals do you want to advance through family structure?
What kinds of human characteristics do you want to nurture?
Does the structure you're describing advance those goals as well or better than nuclear families?

>>2086757
You completely missed the biggest problem here; fucked up children.

Nobody gives a fuck about muh whore women. Problem is the children and them growing up without a father and how that might affect them.

>>2086782
Well I could speak of my ideals, but in the end it's down to whatever each woman instinctively considers the best genes. This will not change either way. Rather, it just makes it possible for the women to do a more active choice of who has the best genes (at the moment).

>>2086805
Most children grow up with none to limited contact with their fathers in the modern world anyways. There is nothing behind a claim that children would need their fathers to grow up healthy. That's a social construction, not a biological fact.

just kill them all

you're not morally obligated to remedy a situation you didn't cause

Yes, I've already been forced to choose, I might as well go full monty.

Superior Carthaginian men.

probably finding a good/rich hubby?

oh and they also manage the estates of their patriarch (especially when they go to war).

1. "I wonder how Scipilus is faring on his war against X"

2. "I wonder if my ceramic is out of date"

3. "What would life be like if a savage horde invaded Rome and fucked me(wet dream)"

I think the rules of war should be suspended against /pol/ baiters like OP

The rules are decided by the winners when punishing the losers.
