Video games and orientalism.

Japan makes a lot of video games and samurai movies.

>>1970007
They're definitely not. Only reason they were "folded 1000 times over" was because Japanese steel sucks donkey dick. It's all pig-iron.

Movies, video games and neckbeard weeaboos made it seem cool.

Average scimitar or longsword bests it out any day of the week.

But in reality, they weren't that good compares to other european swords?

I think it's better if it stays English and doesn't become "Merickan" or some shit like that.
It's a world language and this gives Americans a huge advantage.
And you can have culture without having a "distinct" language.

>>1978001
Yes, but there isn't really any specifically American culture, nor is the nation united in any real fashion. I for one am eagerly waiting for the inevitable collapse, civil wars and all the glorious livestreams of it.

>>1990999
Yes, it would be just something else
Everyone was ready for an inevitable war

>>1990999
Most certainly. Tension needed an outlet.

Answer* fuck my phone

Hannibal was dope

Empire started when Octavian proclaimed himself Augustus.

Gibbon proposed 475 (don't remember the exact date, actually) but he's wrong, and there isn't really a specific date unless you're asking about Roman Civ and not just the western empire.

You could literally google those dates and figure them out faster than it would take me to write what they are.

Hannibal fucked my bitch

it would conclude that capitalism isn't the reason you're a virgin weirdo

>>1990687
It wouldn't care. Intelligence does not mean emotionality.

>>1990696
No, but the slight bias in history against peace and stability would cause the AI to morph into a psychopathic piece of shit

French helmet from 1791.

Nothing really. He saw a chance and he took it. One of you fucks just try and tell me you wouldn't do the same in the exact same situation.

praise KEK

They started as a radically conservative offshoot of the Mennonites and came from Germany.

They're also not opposed to technology the way most people seem to assume they are. They're not really Luddites, they just don't believe in using any technology they think will distract from God or cause an increase in personal vanity. Because of that, there are plenty of modern things that Amish people do use.

>Will they be able to retain their traditional way of life?
Probably. They have until this point, and the people who maintain it do so completely voluntarily. Again, they don't shun modern technology wholesale, just certain things they feel conflict with their morals. As long as Amish people want to maintain their current way of life (which they don't seem to have a problem with), it's going to continue.
