russia had nukes also, you dingus

>>1916344

North Vietnam isn't anywhere near Russia dingus.

That wasn't the point of the "war". Also incredibly stupid, evil, and childish.

It's a mostly-online meme, like anarcho-capitalism. Don't pay any attention to them, as they are not real anarchist tendencies.

Dude anarcho-monarchism is the solution

>anglos don't know how to pacify afghanistan
>"it was actually a grave of empires and was never conquered."
Yeah, the Achmeniads,Mauryas ,Guptas, Mughals and the like didn't hold on to that land for several centuries.

what you need to understand is that Afghanistan isn't really a country, its just where all the countries around it stopped

Does Persia take from India or Mesopotamia more?

>>1920266
Mesopotamia

I would like to meet some messo American, European or the Indus Valley.
We know so little about them compared to civilizations like ancient Greece and Egypt.

Probably because the dominant narrative portrays technology as almost invariably progressive and good, and they're trying to fight against the status quo

"good" is subjective. just because you like it doesn't mean that technology has objectively caused any good. it was also their opinion that it caused us harm.

It is necessary to inform people that technological progress, convenience, and the ability for more people to live are not objectively good things but rather things we have decided are good because they make our lives "easier".

It's like candy. Candy is bright, colorful, tastes good, and gives us lots of energy. Does that mean candy is good? Not really. In small doses it can be, but it usually leads to health issues and "crashing" when consumed regularly.

It's a poor analogy but you get the point.

To be fair though, it's justified in that it was obnoxious from Gibson to be headstrong about his movie portraying Mayans, when it would've been that much more sensical to depict the Atzecs instead.

I really don't know what made them do it. Did Universal's PR unit determine that "Mayan" is a sexier name to advertize than "Atzec" is?

But yeah, autistic episode over all.

Samarkand?

But I agree that the archeological remains of the "Islamic Golden Age" are very lacking. Even Córdoba is not really that impressive.

I don't know, I wouldn't call that breathtaking.

Hell I can't think of a single aesthetically pleasing Iranian landmark.

Maybe Pakistan and India would be better choices.

Did he even meet any of these Beasts and Fishes?

King Kamehameha's full name.

It's because they weren't white Christian Europeans.

In terms of /his/ discourse that's the only factor you need to consider.

I don't have a problem with it. It's just that the Ottoman empire is peddled as magnificent and righteous by the roaches. It can get a bit annoying.
