Those are some shit tier aesthetics. Please tell me they didn't actually wear that.

Have you even read about their wars? It literally LARPing roleplay cosplay except with actual death.

They were really good at some things, and terrible at others. As an example, their society was very just. Nobles had special privileges, like being able to own two-story houses, but if a noble commited a crime, they would have a much harsher punishment than a commoner. This meant nobles were generally much nicer than europeans.

They also had a pretty good bureaucracy, with clean, efficient cities and exact tribute lists.

But on the other hand, their religion was so shitty they had to constantly piss off all their neighbors to prevent the end of the world. And their technology was really crappy too, although given the area they lived in there wasn't much they could do about that.

By going to /pol/!

>>1968898
Yes, it was.

>>1968938
they lost to the french and the japanese

>>1968376
Yes. It's especially interesting how both have done away with free will essentially.

>but Calvinists were mostly townspeople while Wahhabis are desertniggers
The first Ikhwan was actually formed when clerics from towns in Nejd started settling Bedouins around existing settlements:
>Wahhabism was a movement of townspeople, and traditionally thought of the beduin nomadic herders as "bearers of religious ignorance, jahiliyyah and thus as raw material for conversion". [6] To remedy this situation, the beduin were gathered in agricultural settlements known as hijra, where they were to be taught farming, crafts or trades and how to be "proper Muslims".[7] There were 52 hujar (plural of hijra) by 1920 and 120 by 1929.[8]

>>1968376
Yes and no

The Christian equivalent to the Caliphates is Rome, which Protestantism went against with its rejection of the Pope and (indirectly) Orthodoxy in favor of national autonomous churches. Since Christianity isn't as politically suggestive as Islam/Mohammad were, there's no "political purism" or any political figures for Protestants to mimic like the Wahhabis do. They're only equivalent in their scripture autism.

>>1968376
Calvanists completely misunderstand basic shit like salvation and free will, so yes

>>1968321
You're joking, right?

>What is real socialism/comunism/and shit like that.

A pipe dream

>>1968135

Boring answer:

Socialism has the government controlling all production bases, while allowing private property.

Communism is the removal of private property, either by force or by choice (lol), where all production and finished goods are shared equally.

That is true, OP.
Understanding the most basic principles of grammar is understanding humankind (or at least western civilization).
Linguistics and language philosophy are the most important branches of science.

Nietzsche looks so different in that pic. There's the mustache but something is odd about it.

Fun fact: Paul Ree and Lou Salome didn't become aware of Nietzsches presence until after they received this photograph back from the photographer. Paul Ree claims that he however felt the smell of "a large amount of fruit and horse manure" while posing for the picture.

That's not just exclusive to European rulers, it's a common pattern in all monarchies.
>great king rules for a long time
>country is powerful, stable, and wealthy
>great king dies
>shit heir who wasn't prepared for ruling takes over
>pisses it all away in a matter of years

>>1967895
But weren't heirs trained their entire lives to become good rulers once taking over?

>>1967895

What's particularly bothersome about Dušan was that he wasn't made a saint, because at one point in his life he had to fight against his own father, who then died in battle (though not directly by his son's hand), but the weak fuck who was his heir actually got canonized because he was so tolerant and modest.

Seriously, his father was called the Mighty and he was the Weak.

Where the fuck did Dušan go wrong in educating his heir? I'd dearly like to know.

>>1967875
Communism is basically a religion so it wasn't too far of a leap.

>>1967875

It's really not that big of a leap.

>state enforced atheism
There's your answer.

The people were still religious the whole time.

They just paid lip service to that

>state enforced atheism

bullshit.

IT'S NOT A REAL HISTORY BOOK BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THE AUTHOR WAS AN EYEWITNESS REPORTER WHO LIVED THROUGH ALL THE EVENTS IN QUESTION AND COMPILED LARGE AMOUNTS OF EVIDENCE THROUGH INTERVIEWS AND COLLECTED BATTLE-REPORTS, HE NEVER GOT THE OFFICIAL CERTIFICATE THAT ALLOWS HIM TO WRITE SUCH A BOOK

Enjoy your memery.

Giuseppe Perugini’s Casa Sperimentale, near Rome.
Built sometime in the late 1960s. It's pretty amazing, especially the wear and time on concrete that has ensued from Perugini's death in 1995.

Brutalism is like most forms of architecture. If it's done well it looks good. The standard for brutalism seems to be set higher though since the style itself is so plain and utilitarian.
