But why such a drastic change if the Islamic revolution never happened would they be a western secular country today?

It was a political & not a military decision

Most agree it saved lives - to the tune of many 50,000. However - civilians died rather than soldiers sooo, thats a thing.

The battles of Yongqiu during the An Lushan Rebellion. It's quite cartoony.

>Rebels arrive at Yongqiu.
>Zhang Xun breaks out with just 1000 men allegedly and pushes the rebels back as they were setting up camp.
>Rebels retreat a few miles, then besiege the town again.
>Zhang Xun, for a period of a few nights, played the battle drum signal of a charge, to make the rebels think that he is charging out of the city, but instead did nothing, just played the drums.
>Rebels get used to his ruse that they ignored it.
>Sometime later the drums were played and an attack happened, this time for real. Rebel besiegers caught unprepared and their siege lines were attacked and burned. He then randomised feints and real attacks for at least a month to the detriment of the rebels.
>A famous episode of the siege was when Zhang Xun ordered for dummies dressed in black and placed on ladders and ropes to be made.
>At night, he hung these on the walls and men would lower the dummies to create the illusion of men descending for a counter-raid on rebel siege lines.
>Panicking, rebel archers and crossbows fire at these men.
>After some time, and after repeat performances of this trick, they realize it was just dummies and the rebel general orders them to halt shooting at shit at night.
>The next night, figures in black armor yet again descended from Yongqiu's walls. This time, real T'ang Soldiers.
>counterraid killed 10,000 allegedly.
>Rebels pissed the fuck off but at the same time exhausted.
>At the last month of the 4 month siege, Zhang Xun comes out, makes up some story about how they are demoralized after hearing of the fall of Chang'an (T'ang Capital), and says if they rebels retreat 30 miles from the city, the T'ang Troops will leave Yongqiu.
>Rebels: cool.jpg.
>As most of the rebel army retreated, the T'ang troops ransacked the rearguard which was busy packing up supplies. Stole most of their food, lumber, and arrows.
>Rebels stomped off and retreated for real.

Cleopatra married her I think it was 10, year old brother.

Who was then subsequently murdered by Julius Caesar so he could fuck Cleopatra.

As late as the seventeenth century in Europe the practice was commonly employed by nannies to put their young male charges to sleep

The tyranny of pleasure, Jean Claude Guillebaud, Keith Torjoc; p.22

Kissing, generally speaking, is usually considered by the Manchus as a purely sexual act. It is permitted to kiss a boy who has not attained the age of 10, but after this age kissing is prohibited. The father may kiss his daughter until the age of 5 only and the mother her son until the age of 8

Social organization of the Manchus: A study of the Manchu clan organization; p.125

Not strictly the horizontal tango, but it's something.

Handjobs, that is.

so is a spook just a social construct?

why does /his/ think they are clever when they call everything spooks?

>>1690127
>good
That's just a spook

>>1690130
You have it backward, social constructs are just spooks.

Not anymore than we naturally wear pants or read and write.

Monogamy is a social innovation required for large civilizations to function. Without it, males with the most social status accrue an excess of mates and create a crippling scarcity of women for most of the males. Which leads to extreme social tension, because history has shown men will fight wars just to get mates. Such large wars can be domestic or revolutionary. Rome probably outlawed having multiple wives as a product of the plebeian revolution that lead to the reforms in the early year of the republic, for instance.

No but it's nice to have a special someone out of 7 billion

is the pattern of /his/ to ask really basic bitch fucking questions where teh OP seemingly has no modicum of education, so rather than actually asking an interesting question, he comes off as a child asking his parents where babies come from?

because that's what I'm seeing here.

that said, you're using the world naturally in a stupid fucking manner.

human evolutionary incentives incentivized monogamy heavily. a large part of our nature revolves around it, but at a base level we are inherently not.

>Wasn't the space race just a massive dick waving contest?
Like any competition between countries in general, be it Olympics or shitposting about HDI

>>1701395

It gave us all kinds of technology we would otherwise have had to wait longer for, in terms of providing funding for pure science it was a tremendous benefit.

>>1701397
>Olympics

this is pure dickwaving with no obvious greater benefit beyond keeping the proles happy, but the Space Race brought us real benefits (teflon, microwave ovens, velcro) as well as advertising science in a way it's not normally, inspiring a whole generation of young boys to pursue a scientific career,

>doggerlan :-DDD

One thing to point out is that there wasn't any real civilization until they invented iron axes to clear out the forests. This occurred around 800 a.d.

Doggerland looks so comfy, why even live if it can't be there?

>Is "Great Man" history still considered valid in academia?
No, anything but historical materialism will get you thrown out.

Great Man History fell out of favour when the marxists took over academia. It is the best form of history though.

>>1699555

Great man theory was ridiculed long before Marx was even born.
