B/c demograsy xDDD

because people don't care about the sumerians for whatever reason

>>1781182
Because enlightenment era European philosophers decided it is and retroactively created a "western culture" that was born in Greece even though during that time Western Europe was mostly christian tyrannical monarchies not at all related to Ancient Greece.

Don't get me wrong, Ancient Greece and their works were extremely important stepping stones for all of Mediterranean civilisations including Arabs but so were achievements of Babylonians, Sumerians, Persians, Egyptians. The reason why Ancient Greece is put ahead of them is classification of what is western civilisation and where it originated from.

High quality reply right here. Is /his/ always like this?

No they dont have the mental capacity to feel depressed they are either happy or aggressive like a certain type of melanin enriched human today.

Are NEETs miserable?

They're smart, smart enough to form abstract models of the external world in their minds. Smart enough to have complex social behavior and customs. But they're not smart enough to have an expressive spoken vocabulary outside of stuttering that lets them share these abstract models of the external world with their friends

Do they experience constant confusion and a desire for a high level of social bonding with their fellow NEETs? Do they constantly feel like they're on the cusp of a social breakthrough, as if their desire for social connection with other NEETs may someday be fulfilled if they make a few more shitty threads, but it never is?

George probably would have rooted for Ghandi while at the same time being skeptical of his methods.

>>1780658
Wasn't Ghandi actually somewhat evil, regardless of his pacifist protests?

Baha'i isn't origin of all religions, just another attempt to create new one.

>>1779877
Correct me if I'm wrong but isint it the belief of all religions stemming from 1?

>>1779936
No.

Either photoshop or gimp, that's the usual way to fake images.

lol hell no. There was a bunch of droughts still persisting, dynamic population growth, and overpopulation in areas. City-states were fucking laughably small still, so you wouldn't find kick-ass architecture, art events, or eminent thinkers later on.

Aristocrats and Monarchs were far more predominant and powerful over the states. Most of the city-states probably had serfdom systems with regarding the laborers, like Thessaly, Sparta, and Crete had during the Classical age.

Wealth circulating into Greece was also much lower. As city-states established over-seas colonies and enslaved and waged war against the local populaces there, that established foreign slaves to be the under-class in the home-cities. Even if you were a poor and landless citizen in Athens or some other major Greek city-state, the State could ask you to move to some newly conquered foreign city, and have land and estate alloted to you there, to repopulate it with the presence of the State's citizens.

Everyone was a threat. The Turks just happened to be the ones you single out as more important with hindsight.

>>1779125
>Everyone was a threat.

Like who?

>Italians
Mainly concerned with squeezing trade concessions

>Pope
More like an ally

>Arabs
Completely irrelevant, recked by eveyone

>Crusaders
Capable of stinging at best

>Normans
Just plundering here and there

>Pechenges
Exterminated by his father

>Coumans
Ally and backbone of the army

>Hungarians
Conflict over Serbia only

>HRE
Ally

Nope, just Turks were the real enemy. All other enemies were made by Manuel and his retarded policy.

>>1779228
I said everyone. Once again dismissing each with one liners doesn't change what the Byzantine court understood about them. The Italians and Crusaders for example were clearly a major threat considering the damage they did with some very violent squeezing and stinging. Each one of them presented a major danger to the state in their time, and it's only luck that things went one way or another.

>Despite last-ditch attempts by PAP leaders, including Lee Kuan Yew, to keep Singapore as a state in the union, the Parliament on 9 August 1965 voted 126–0 in favor of the expulsion of Singapore, with Members of Parliament from Singapore not present

You'd have to understand that as the imperial infrastructure of the early caliphate crumbled, power was increasingly concentrated in the hands of families that divided power among its leading members according to appanage. If there wasn't good relations between family members, which was often, that left these increasingly granular dynasties isolated among a sea of local tribes.

Rather than wade into those murky waters it became preferable for the ruler and the bureaucracy around his household to monopolize power and wealth for themselves by employing a private army rather than hand it off to one or more local magnates who could organize very dangerous revolts if given free reign.

As to why military slaves specifically (as opposed to mercenaries and foreign guards), that's because of how the household worked in Arabic-Persian cultures at the time. Any males who weren't family, adopted, or slaves were verboten, so if you were looking to bring in as many men as possible under your roof you had just one option unless you were patient enough to fuck 1,000 women and wait to raise 1,000 children into soldiers.

Incidentally, this is also why many Middle Eastern rulers began to favor slave concubines over noblewomen as wives and eunuchs as courtiers. A local wife and courtier brought in their family's politics, but a concubine or eunuch is more loyal to the ruler's personal household.

Wikipedia truly is a cesspool of revisionism.

>>1778128
There was no racism within most societies because most societies were mono-racial.

People have always thought that their tribe/race was superior.

>>1778136
but what about the Byzantines who had both balkaners and turks in there along with armenians and some georgians?

and germans were far from seen as one people

>>1778136

Something like this, "racism" as the boogie man who we know today is a more or less creation of the European imperialism (social Darwinism, we conquered them, therefore we must be superior)

>>1778156

People always hated each other's guts, but nobility and religions had an interest in keeping the peace.
Ergo there were prob. Some clashes between Ethnic or religious groups in cities like Constantinople, but city guards kept the conflicts at bay (like riot police)
