Western culture, sometimes equated with Western civilization, Western world, Western society or European civilization is a term used very broadly to refer to a heritage of social norms, ethical values, traditional customs, belief systems, political systems, and specific artifacts and technologies that have some origin or association with Europe. The term is applied to European countries and countries whose history is strongly marked by European immigration, colonisation, and influence, such as the continents of the Americas and Australasia, whose current demographic majority is of European ethnicity, and is not restricted to the continent of Europe.
Western culture is characterized by a host of artistic, philosophic, literary, and legal themes and traditions; the heritage of Greek, Roman, Jewish,[1] Celtic, Slavic, and other ethnic and linguistic groups,[2][3] as well as Christianity including the Roman Catholic Church,[4][5][6] and the Orthodox Church,[7][8] which played an important part in the shaping of Western civilization since at least the 4th century.[9][10][11][12][13] Before the Cold War era, the traditional Western viewpoint identified Western Civilization with the Western Christian (Catholic-Protestant) countries and culture.[14][15]
A cornerstone of Western thought, beginning in ancient Greece and continuing through the Middle Ages and Renaissance and into modern times, is a tradition of rationalism in various spheres of life, developed by Hellenistic philosophy, Scholasticism, humanism, the Scientific revolution and the Enlightenment. Values of Western culture have, throughout history, been derived from political thought, widespread employment of rational argument favouring freethought, assimilation of human rights, the need for equality, and democracy.

Coolidge was a complete faggot. His lackadaisical presidency was pure luck for the time he was in office and his idiotic deregulations were a contributing factor to the crash of the stock market.

Why is Islam the only religion that is "racialized?" What caused this phenomenon, and why are people who dislike Islam treated pretty much the same way as people who dislike brown people? This is coming from sincere curiosity and not any sort of agenda.

Good point, but followup question stands
>>2020911
Because people treat it as a race. Also wordd change
What are some glorious Chinese military victories? Seems like they got their ass beat most of the time by non-Chinese. So seems like Chinese are only good at war when they're killing themselves.

Essentially the Han destroyed the Xiongnu to the point their entire culture got eradicated or assimilated.
>>2020860
They did ok in Korea and then Mao ordered them to keep going and it was all ogre.
In the later stages of WW2 they started winning against the Japs but I don't remember any huge victories.
They kind of shitstomped the Indians in really shitty terrain for both sides
But they haven't really fought a war since after their military became a non-ideologized armed forces (i.e. post People's War doctrine).
In terms of older history the Song managed to hold out against the Mongols for decades which is impressive when you look at the size of the Mongol empire at the time. Ignore the fact they were retarded enough to ally with the Mongols out of butthurt at the Jin.
The Qing btfo everyone around China but being degenerate horseriders they got btfo by the west.

Why did stoicism go out of style?
>>2020139
The difficulty of applying it outside of the palaces of Roman.
Hedonism

Christianity is about suffering, stoicism is about not suffering. Therefore stoicism is bad.

McClellan only did reasonable in battles because he went out of his way to avoid them. Hell, Meade is overrated too because he got lucky with Gettysburg. The union didn't need to get favorable k/d ratios, they needed to stomp out some rebs, and Mac failed miserably at doing that while the Confederacy was in its infancy.
