What should I know or read before reading David Hume?
>>1856186
How to read.

Whadda zinger. Good one my friend

He hated Moonbeam; he is based.
ITT: Anarcho-capitalism
What is it?
Why is it so stupid?
>>1855979
Government ceases to exist. Corporations and other monetary interests use this power vacuum to thoroughly exploit people for profit.
It's hardly even worth discussion since it will never happen and very few people are actually ancaps.
>>1855979
Because you replace one monopoly on force with another monopoly on force. Just that the new one isn't bound by things as "rule of law"
>>1855979
Private property is a mutable not-universal social construct.
An-Caps assume it's the default state of man. That alone is silly.
Technically speaking, how did the battleships, cruisers and destroyers of the Royal Navy and German Imperial Navy rate against each other in the early 20th century to WWI?
I recall reading somewhere that while German guns were usually smaller on ships, they (or their ammunition) were generally superior to their British counterparts and so though smaller could preform at least equally. And that the reduced weight of guns allowed them to carry more armour or something.
Did either side build "better" classes of ships or were they simply different ideas for the same things?
>>1855948
Rule of thumb:
German ships may have been better quality, since they were mostly brand new, but British had waaay more of them. Sheer numbers win strategy.
>>1855954
Ahem, no. Both sides were brand new for the ships that mattered, since the Dreadnought had only been built in 1906. By definition, its impossible for any side to have old capital ships of worth, since everything was built since 1906.
The Germans actually would be the ones with older ships relatively, since at Jutland they deployed a squadron of pre-dreadnoughts to increase the strength of their battle line.
>>1855948
They were pretty similar.
German guns were more accurate but had a shorter range.
German ships had better night fighting equipment.
Lets talk about the American Frontier / "Wild West".
Bumping this thread because it's a worthy topic.
Fun fact: Apache guerrillas were a problem up until the 1930s.
It's weird that people think of the "Wild West" as a distinct historical period when Americans were continuously settling and moving westward from the Jamestown colony until 1890.
Oh yes I'd like to join in as well.
What's the most common form of punishment for horse theft?
Really makes me think...

So, the guy that does those, what's he basing some HRE states having their own flags and others not on?
>>1855831
I would asume it's the electors + Habsburg
we have a decent coverage of Anglo-Saxon society, by which it may have converted to Christianity still had a society like it did when it was pagan.
what did Frankish and other continental West Germanic (like Low Saxons, Alemmanic High Germans and such) society look like? did they have a housecarl (or housecarl-like) body? did they have a Comitatus practice? was the irminsul only known in that area?

This guy, despite some of his more questionable qualities and beliefs he has written excellent books on pre-christian germanic religion and peoples and has a lot to say about their society as well.
difficult to know because you're entering history detective area to sort fact from fiction
most literature left behind by romans on the subject is heavily biased

and by that I mean, imagine 2000 years from now trying to interpret what (our) modern day Russia is like by reviewing CNN material.

Why did it take so short for China to exit the warring states period and reunite, while it's taking centuries for Europe?
oh look at that, historical map with bosnia actually drawn in, what a nice surprise, it's usually not the case
>>1855408
The only it took centuries were Germans.
>>1855432
and italians
I saw this image a while back and was wondering if its legitimate. If so, what theological reasons do Zen Buddhist have in opposition to Judaism?
i mean it would make sense, the main virtues of zen buddhism include order and stability
i dont think they had autistic hatred of jews like himmler though
The japs have hated and will always harbor hatred to towards jews, as they should. And yes that quote is real but not all zenyatta Buddhists are anti-Semitic
>>1855149
The Jews fear the samurai.
Where did all the money go?
>>1855142
After reviewing the available literature it seems to me that the consensus amongst most economic scholars is that all the money went to the jews.

Why all socialist countries degenerate in totalitarian dictatorships?
Is this inherent to socialism?
No, this happens with the right too. They become dictatorships and a prone to a lot of corruption. It's a cultural problem I think where this kind of thing is tolerated or even expected in some cases.
t. From latin america
>>1855118
Socialism tends to emerge in countries without a real political environment of democracy.
Cuba and Venezuela, much like Russia and China and Vietnam, have never been really democratic. The socialist dictator replaced either a corrupt corporate stooge or a capitalist dictator like Batista.
>>1855190
>>1855160
you can't tell me with a straight face that you'd prefer the socialist dictator to the right-wing dictators, can you?

I hate the roaches
Constantinople belongs to the greeks give it back
REEEEEEEE
Why was Basil II so based?
>>1855166
I honestly like Manuel Komenos better. He was in a much worse situation than Basil II
Why are we so reliant on greek sources for an empire as large and complicated as the Achaemenid Empire?
Also when did the Persians first start writing histories?
>>1854758
Bump.
I would also be interested in the answers to these questions.
>>1854758
Hey you know that part of what made greeks special is that they recorded stuff in greater detail than others, right?
>>1854758
Did Persians use Aramaic script then?
Last thread went pretty great before it got deleted, so let's have another!
Mali, Songhai, Kongo, Benin, The Swahili City States, and the other civilizations and cultures within sub-Saharan africa. Discussion of Ethiopia and Axum is welcome as well.
You should really be more specific. Sub-Saharan Africa doesn't mean anything except a vaguely defined part of a landmass. It's like having an 'Asia' thread.
>>1855412
Mmmm there were only like 5 notable empires in sub sahara. It's not even a warring states period thread.
>>1855424
I've no idea what you're saying.
