Heroin, leaded gasoline, the Arab oil embargo, deindustrialization and the leftover bitterness from the civil rights movement.

I don't get this strange notion that women were all housewives in the past. It's ok to have fantasies about this kind of thing, but it has no bearing on historical reality.

Here you go, OP.

Illiterate peasants lived in hovels, not in stone houses.

A house like this likely belonged to an educated burgher.

>>1808398
How did they build the Hovels? Just from what they could figure out? Also how come in movies when they go to a medievil village all the houses look like pic related.

There were some elements that were good, but overall it was a shitshow.

>>1803658
Not really, they just only fought even shitier countries like china or really preoccupied western countries that weren't going to commit anything other than shit (Indian) colonial troops. Germany was the only major axis power Japan and Italy were meme countries who were elevated to "major power" status to make the allies look better after their victory.

They managed to hold off the US of A all the way until 1945 even then they were only defeated because the US invented nukes. Yes, they were a force. They just couldn't compete with the giant that is the USA.

Imagine that Japan is an crocodile whereas America is a hippopotamus. Yes, the crocodile is strong but the humble hippopotamus is stronger and devastating against those who under-estimate it.

Depends what you mean by "free".

Most people are richer, so they can afford more shit, which is a form of freedom, however, the NSA also *literally* sees everything you do on the internet, or with your phone, and if you don't have any privacy it's hard to see how you are truly free.

>socially we face greater pressure to conform today than people did back then; men definitely, and women especially.
how so?

ahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.


Loving v Virginia was a landmark case allowing interracial marriage. In 1967, which remained a taboo for a while after that. You can get a white collar job with a tattoo now, something unthinkable in my father's time. You actually have acceptable career but also non-career choices that is simply unthinkable in the 50s and 60s. You can openly parade around with anti-American sentiment and not be blacklisted as a pinko traitor. Have I made my point sufficiently, or should I go on about drugs, abortion, the role of religion in modern life?

What does christianity say?

Okay, they are not equivalent, the universe we know had a beginning, while god did not, so it works out that he has always existed.

You can also look to >>1807617. God's existence is ensured by a closed timeloop. He exists because he exists.

what need would an empire that essentially consisted of ports on the Mediterranean Sea with slaves doing all of the undesirable work have for trains?

>>1807279
So you can transport legions from Sicily to Germania. Duh.

And establish a silk road trade line with China via the Steppes. But you would have to mount scorpions on them to protect the trains from roving bands of Sarmatians.

>>1807279
Ease grain distribution, from inland to the coast? Trains go fast.

This 'WeWuz' Afrocentrism nonsense really twists my nips, how can you not recognise terraced farms when you see them?

And no, the phenomenon is the remnant of the memory of early humans living alongside other species of human before they died out or interbreeded, some were smaller like pygmies and some were larger like neanderthals

It depends on what you mean by coincidence. Every folklore tradition features some stories about people. A logical next step from normal people are people who are just like normal people, but different in some important way; giantism is an easy way to accomplish that. And it makes a lot of sense as a concept when you realize that giants in most traditions serve as examples of perverted human values (cannibalism, cruelty). They're there as examples of how humans aren't supposed to act and demonstrations of how close people can come to being monsters without the proper social guidelines in place.
