It's hard to say exactly how much unofficial power she wielded behind the scenes, but the monarch was *mostly* a figurehead by that point. That said, she enjoyed almost unprecedented sustained popularity over the course of her very long reign, and probably did a lot to bring (and keep) the country together in some VERY eventful times. It's not like she led Britain's armies or plotted out economic policy or anything, but that ain't nothing.

She was better than her last 3 predecessors by a wide margin. Her Uncles had been profligates & voluptuaries and at least one was mentally unsound whereas she was a queen of such probity, grace & respectability that she was almost universally beloved. She knew not to be wasteful or a source of scandal, to trust the talented men who worked for her (England's political aristocracy at the time was second to noun, she enjoyed the services of a long succession of fabulously gifted prime ministers under her reign. Melbourne, Palmerston, Gladstone, Disreali, Salisbury), and to work tirelessly at the duties entrusted to her.

All in all she was a fantastic monarch who performed her somewhat limited role judiciously which helped facilitate the tremendous growth of English commerce & power during her reign.

Why did England have such good female monarchs? The only male one of note I can think of is William the Conqueror himself. All the other guys were either incompetent loons or died before you could blink.

For some reason people who are masters of theory often suck in practice. Rousseau wrote elaborate books about child rearing while his kids IRL ended up in the orphanage.

How can any monotheistic religion be considered as such? Before Judaism, even Jews had multiple gods.

Or, perhaps, Zeyla for the Shafi'is, since it's a coastal city and Shafi'is live in every corner of the Indian Ocean.

Habesha (Abyssinian) Muslims themselves considered Harer the fourth holy city of Islam, after Al-Quds (Jerusalem), Yathriib a.k.a. Medinaat-Rasuhl a.k.a. Medina, and of course; Mecca.

You're right. I never understood how England had its own Church when God created all the world.

Religion has always been part of nationalism and nativism, and monotheism is no exception. It doesn't have to make sense as long as people believe it.

Religion is what is believe, not what is rationalised.

the elite cooperate on some level or another, not even being a conspiritard but shit like bilderberg, trilateral, OPEC and all of the think tanks associated with them they don't even try to hide

When my boss who has worked in finance told me about the "big guys" that trade daily for billions of dollars.
They could simply fuck up countries for kek, which they would do. Sell billions worth of currency, total chaos.
But i think its illegal today, but used to be total chaos.
All conflict etc are because of keks and simple decisions by a dumbperson.
Politicans arent as smart as people believe them to be

>>2078078
Yeah but then you have to realize that they all have allegiances to their own countries and despite the fact they seem to cooperate, they're all playing for their own national interests as well

Italians don't care much about British politics, but the British prime minister certainly cares about his/her legacy and what his/her people think

They're obviously forts. Those are bailies. Having doors in bailies just creates a weak point. You just use a ladder and planks and stow stuff in whatever baily belongs to you. Wouldn't surprise me if there were coverings for some, but they might have just used leantos or whatever inside.

>By the early 1980s, the Bakkers had built Heritage USA in Fort Mill, South Carolina (south of Charlotte), then the third most successful theme park in the U.S., and a satellite system to distribute their network 24 hours a day across the country. Contributions requested from viewers were estimated to exceed $1,000,000 a week, with proceeds to go to expanding the theme park and mission of PTL.[5] In justifying his use of the mass media, Bakker responded to inquiries by likening his use of television to Jesus's use of the amphitheater of the time. "I believe that if Jesus were alive today, he would be on TV", Bakker said.[this quote needs a citation]

>From 1984 to 1987, Bakker and his PTL associates sold $1,000 "lifetime memberships," which entitled buyers to a three-night stay annually at a luxury hotel at Heritage USA. According to the prosecution at Bakker's later fraud trial, tens of thousands of memberships had been sold, but only one 500-room hotel was ever completed. Bakker sold more "exclusive partnerships" than could be accommodated, while raising more than twice the money needed to build the actual hotel. A good deal of the money went into Heritage USA's operating expenses, and Bakker kept $3.4 million in bonuses for himself.

Yes.

We're all the same species, so I'd assume so.

The Out of Africa theory is incorrect, so no we're not.

Presumably for the same reason most soldiers are right wing.

the brisbane line.

Mostly, they tried to fight off the Japs in places like Papua New Guinea.

Presumably the Japanese would have overextended their supply lines and ultimately lost whatever forces that committed to the campaign.

I liked Centurion a lot even though it got mediocre ratings and was a flop sales wise. It's a realistic fiction based around a real event during Hadrian's rule.

Imperium: Augustus was also alright. There are some minor noticeable changes to what happened but it's good overall.

I don't care what people say, Julia is a fucking slut that ruined the dynasty before Nero was even born.

Islam and Christianity will likely never fade, because they offer a glorious afterlife to ALL believers and have become too far etched in the human consciousness to be forgotten like Zoroastrianism

Judaism on the other hand is dying a slow death, if it wasn't for Israel it'd honestly be a meme religion like Zoroastrianism, remembered only for its contributions to Christianity and Islam

I see many Christians usually use the "Those will be fulfilled during the Second Coming" Is their a good retort or argument Jews have against this?
