History doesn't repeat, it rhymes.

The American Republic is the same as the Roman one, but bigger, faster, and fatter

Speculators fuck the economy, populism goes on the rise.

The American Republic can afford to lose a tentacle here and there. The Roman one couldn't.

>gnostic dualism
Sloterdijk's distinction between libertine and ascetic Gnosis is illuminating: "The amoral style leads to a homeopathic ascetic: this weakens the Evil of sin, in that they are committed thoughtfully and ironically, as if by quota: the Gnostic embraces the sin and experiences thereby a critical decay in his own body, finally to climb out of the gutter fully burnt out. — The world is a pornographic purgatory, from which to filter the immaculate Pneumata. The abstaining style, in contrast, applies allopathic methods against the sickness of the World: against the poisons of the cosmos it administers immediate flight from the world as an antidote. Civil disobedience against the lower body, general strike against the astral works, bathings in tears, fasting of the heart."

Heresy

When you realize the world is fucked up but you still want to hold to the idea of God.

no

Hell no

>>2067059
Yes, fuck the Pope.

Never. They were cucked by big capital.

>>2067002
Why would they embrace competition of people who will work for peanuts? I still don't get it to this day. Unions are impossible because 3rd worlders will just take the jobs and never ask for a raise because they're ok with living in ghettos, and the white working class pays them welfare for their other necessities and so they can have more kids (more competition/wage stagnation for future generations). This is the biggest capitalist scam of our time and it's happening throughout the Western nations, but everyone's too afraid of being called """racist""" to acknowledge it.

>>2067002
When they realized the race was a social construct meant to divide the working class

>>2066909
Is it really betrayal if the guy you betray planned to throw you under the bus later?

Because that's the entire foreign policy plan of all MENA

>>2066909
The alternative was causing a massive backlash among developing countries by proving USSR propaganda right, they didn't have much of a choice.

>>2066909
Yes.
They wanted a weaker Britain, as a weaker Britain would not be able to oppose americas policies in the Cold War as well

Like it's so difficult to make your uniform look different from the enemy's instead of resorting to shit like that

>>2067004
Wait, are you saying we should dirty the countries colours? Right, to the court martial with you!

Slavoj Zizek is not Canadian.

Why do you think they were humans? The Sphinx in particular was built by lion people.

Civilizations leave evidence.

Pottery, sudden replacement of indigenous flora and fauna with domesticated species, worked metal items.

We have evidence of stone tools progressively getting better and better until the neolithic revolution.

It wouldn't make sense that genuine civilizations existed without domesticating animals, firing clay, or forging metal.

>>2066683

what is your picture supposed to be. surely this belongs on /x/ too?

>>2066680
Because it was a failure

>>2066680
You can't organise a society around the state pretending they have full employment and the workers pretending they work.

Because capitalism is great goy-I mean guys. Don't worry about automation exterminating the poor and the middle class.

>>2066636
Because your purpose is to reproduce, just like every other organism that has ever lived.

Reproduce, proliferate, propagate, expand, and seize the world as your own.

That's the point to life.

because suicide is for NERDS

oh what the heck DUBBERS

The abrahamic faiths definetly helped, but IMO even if they never existed gays would still ahve been, and be, treated much as they are now. To non gay people, homosex is gross, and considering the very small amount of them in the world population, they will always be at odds with everyone else.

Dunno about the rest, but I heard it explained that the Greek upper classes were essentially homo but the roman upper classes just liked Traps

According to Mike, the Romans were quite accepting of homosexuality. It wasn't acceptable for upstanding elites to just 'be gay', but during their youth it was understood that young men could experiment with gay sex as long as they was discreet about it. It sounds like it was mildly taboo socially, but not in a "purge the deviants" kind of way.

>>2066914
I heard that homosex was more socially accepted for a Roman and a true men then submitting to ones wife, like oral sex? It is very interesting that even M. Aurelius mentions that he is thankful that he resisted the charms of boys. I think its somewhere in the first book of the Meditations

But many areas were still medieval in the 15th and even later centuries, for example Russia only began to leave its medieval period under Peter and Catherine.

>>2066437

I mean in places with civilized people that matter.

Yesterday I heard someone say in medieval Spain in the 1490s.

When people say shit like "Abraham was a Jew" even though Jews descend from his great grandson.

Judging from the file name, Mr. Portrait.

This is why I can't browse /his/ in front of other people.

he was gay so

He also won a lot of daddy's battles for him. When the Thebans were pushing the Macedonians back, Alexander led the decisive cavalry charge into the Theban's flank. As he won so many countless battles, he was at the decisive moment, the center of the action. It's actually not different from his subsequent battles in that he rarely commanded the entire army and the infantry would be lead by a subordinate; personally leading the main cavalry thrust is all he ever does.
