How did early modern Christians justify such brutal violent conversion attempts in Spain and America?

At least Muslims let you pay a tax if you didn't convert.

The same way they justified their brutal violent conversion attempts against European pagans: baby jesus told them to.

ITT: we post artists whose work we can't stand but are inexplicably praised


I honestly think Mexico just needed more artists so they decided to pretend she was really good and see how many people hopped on the bandwagon.

So in school we learned a fair amount about Sparta and their society. One thing that my teacher specifically mentioned was that Sparta Women were expected to be just as physically fit as a man and were described as such by the other pussy Greek states. Everyone knows this.

She postulated though that the Spartan women were the way not only to bear children, but to also defend the homeland when the men went out and fought. Everyone knows that Sparta would be at its weakest at this point, and so someone must have attacked it, and failed, and never wrote about because they lost to a bunch of women. And Sparta doesn't do shit in literature so they didn't write about it either.

So what does /his/ think about this? Anything to support it?

spartan women were not physically fit for any other reason than they believed healthy strong women had healthy strong sons. Women weren't expected to fight in sparta it is a fantasy.

>>1909052
It's something that I would genuinely believe based on how Sparta operated and that's why I wonder.

What eras you fav btw? And thanks for bump.

What's the best classification for China's economy post Deng Xiaoping? It's obviously no longer marxist-leninist despite what the government claims.

State capitalist
>>
Interesting question. The CCP has tried very hard to maintain the ideological ties to the Maoist era but really only in name. There are still some remnants like the State Owned Enterprises, State Owned Banks, Work groups (or Danwei) and living permits (hukou).

If I were to classify it, I'd probably say it was State Capitalism or simply just as Deng put it "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics".

The economic plan that China has isn't terribly coherent, nor is it unified across all levels of government. The Chinese love to make overarching plans and do whatever it takes to get there. So the current one is to reach parity with the USA in terms of GDP per capita and all facets of the economy and government are encouraged to make that happen no matter how they do it.

All economic systems are the same.

Bioterrorism exists.

Bio warfare exists.

Ill give you one example but there are countless ones.

Mongols would fling plague infested rats and bodies over anatolian and balkan cities to infect the population including their armies until they were weakened enough to be invaded.

Diseases themselves are hard to contain especially in contemporary society with globalization. Russia could create a super resistant virus and spread it to europe but it would be impossible for them to keep it out of their own country. It could spread from animals or humans.

Are we at the end of history?
It seems like humanity has done all there is to do. Wars at large are over (except for the last one, obviously)
Philosophy, art, and science are about to come to their natural conclusions (nihilism, postmodernism, standard model)
There's no land to discover and colonize, no mysteries to uncover, no new knowledge to obtain. Globalism will erase cultures and races. Resources are starting to run out. Etc.
We're at that part of Civ game where everyone is fucking bored and no longer wants to play

Were the tercios a thing in the 15th-16th century?
I thought they came later, also the jannisaries were a small part of the ottoman army in those periods while they were complemented by other troops.

Not modern NEETs. Historical NEETs were the truly enlightened. The modern NEET has been severely distracted by soma like video games and premium cable TV, he no longer pursues volumes of the mind.

This. Diogenes live a hard, difficult life for the sake of it and begged for money as a point. He wouldn't be making any point just living off of NEETbux.
