France is in its fifth iteration as a republic now. Why is it so continually fractured? Why does it feel the need to restart over and over again?
>>1805578
because of ((them)), liberals, and traitors

Because when things do not work we try to to rebuild them.
We don't expect to be able to build a system that will function perfectly, and we expect that however well-adapted it was at one point it won't remain so as society and the world change.
We'll always have to start anew eventually, that's normal in politics as in every other aspect of life.
The americans' devotion to a centuries-old constitution and parties that are not much younger is a lot stranger.
>>1805578
>>1805608
Is it too /pol/ to say that the current fracturing is mostly because of immigration and especially Muslims?
When and how did the turkics replace the iranics in central asia when the former lived there for centuries and where probably a bigger population?
>>1805236
They didn't "replace" the "iranics". They replaced the rulers and upper military case only, 99% of population remained the same.
>>1805236
>>1805236
400s-600s AD.
>Overpopulation in Eastern Central Asia. Turkic tribes migrate into unstable China during the Nanbeichao period of fragmentation in the 400s-500s AD and westwards into Eastern Europe. Not yet major.
>Establishment of the Sui & T'ang Dynasties and the reunification of China, who pretty much cockblocked and genocided Turkic tribes. Some Turkics submitted and called the T'ang Emperor Tengkhan (Heavenly Khan.). Beginnings of major population movement westwards from Turks seeking to avoid Chinese rule.
-Battle of Talas, Islamic missionaries in Turkic Lands, and the Caliphates' penchant for hiring buttloads of Turkic soldiers. Leading to an even bigger trend of Western Migration of Turkics.
Nail in the coffin was the establishment of the Gokturks and the Seljuk confederacies.
Furthermore Iranics outside Iran/Tajikistan weren't "wiped out." They were merely absorbed into Asiatic Nomadshit confederacies typical of the area and intermarried. It's steppe politics to join the confederacy/protection-scheme-state of the new clan. Which is why some Turkics do have Iranic features. Al-Din Baybars is a perfect example. Turkic Mamluk taken from Transoxania but is blonde and blue eyed.

Hi /his/ after doing some studying of Roman History, and looking at the comparison of it between it and the United States I have come across an interesting thought. Its the natural progression of the Republic, and will the United States follow Romes progression from a Republic to a full fledged empire. The United States government is directly based off of the Roman Republic. So I just wanna see what your thought on this idea is. It might seem absurd but there are just to many parallels historically with today to the past for me to ignore this.
>hey guys here's my half baked clichéd idea can you please flesh it out for me?
>>1804748
heaven forbid we have an interesting discussion on /his/
>>1804760
Why don't you go more in depth into why the us will become a dictatorial empire and how it's connected to Rome, then.
Is this /his/ approved?

While there are a few minor inconsistencies, the content is a good brief history of the area. The song itself is very catchy and helps explain why there's no one rightful owner of the Palestinian region. The animation is wonderful, the timing is well executed, several subtle details (hand cut off at "So take, my hand", field slowly turns red in the part after Roman Empire, everyone looks upwards at mention of God) throughout, and overall quality animation. I personally approve.

Do Protestants consider Ignatius of Antioch to be a heretic?
From his Epistle to the Ephesians
>Wherefore it is fitting that you should run together in accordance with the will of your bishop, which thing also you do. For your justly renowned presbytery, worthy of God, is fitted as exactly to the bishop as the strings are to the harp.
> It is manifest, therefore, that we should look upon the bishop even as we would upon the Lord Himself. And indeed Onesimus himself greatly commends your good order in God, that you all live according to the truth, and that no sect has any dwelling-place among you. Nor, indeed, do you hearken to any one rather than to Jesus Christ speaking in truth.
>>1804463
They'd interpret the 'Bishop' as the individual believer.
>>1804489
>Let us be careful, then, not to set ourselves in opposition to the bishop, in order that we may be subject to God.
ibid.

>Do Protestants consider Ignatius of Antioch to be a heretic?
Actually yes. Specifically this guy, yes, many people do consider him to be a heretic.
What do you guys think of the Taborites, Orebites, Ultraquists and all the other Czech/Bohemian followers of Jan Hus and John Wycliff?
Personally i think the Hussite wars were GOAT, Jon Zizka is b e t t e r than any protestant general (Besides Gustavus Adolphus, blessed be his name) and Adamists have nothing, NOTHING to do with Hus's teachings. They got what they deserved.
>>1803675
He didn't lose a single battle in his entire career, which makes him better by default.
Have a dump of Hussite war wagens!
Personally i am irked by the usage of longbows by the Hussites. But if it worked for the angles, it would work for the Wagenburgs!
Was post-Stalin Soviet Union really all as horrible as the West made it out to be?
Of course not. But that doesn't mean it was good.
>>1803669
Naw, don't buy into western propaganda
But don't think for a second the SU was all perfect
>>1803669
It was worse. Western media is in the hands of the same people that lead the communist revolution in Russia so you won't hear that.
The Soviet Union was literally the worst thing that happened in recorded history
