what op is suggesting imo is a 2 caste system of slaves & citizens
the slaves are self explanatory, morality does not apply to treatment
where as citizens are all amongst men and equal
only works if every citizen perceives every other system in the network their standard of equal & contemporary, which comes down to aligned axiomatics, nap amongst one another and clear understanding of what that means, where boundaries are, dro's etc
dro dispute resolution organisation
nap non aggression principle

I hesitate to usually echo dumb stuff on /his/ but ultimately the Mongols were pretty much a meme empire.

That's not fair. They destroyed a lot and indirectly created Russia.

So glad mongols did so much for humanity and civilization

Is there a Pan Abrahamic sumbol?
The swastika is basically a Pan Dharmic symbol
>>1675809
Being offended is a Pan-Abrahamic symbol.
>>1675809
A for Abrahamic!
>>1675809
Swastika is a PIE symbol which appears pretty much everywhere they went, which is why hitler used it
Pan-abrahamic symbol would be something like pic related

There was a faction, i think it was sometime in american history, either the revultionary war of the civil war, that liked to talk big but when it came to actually fighting was completely gutless.
I want to say busar or bursar, pretty sure it starts with a b...
c'mon guys, you're supposed to know this stuff.
>>1675707
There were only two factions in both wars and all fought pretty well.
Are you referring to a certain militia maybe?
>>1675737
No it wasn't a faction that actually fought in a war, it was a faction that basically spouted a lot of angry rhetoric and calls to violence but whenever it came time to fight or rebel they never actually got around to doing anything.
Maybe Burgers?
"A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic."
What did he mean by this?
>>1675651
people like martyrs, identifiable
>>1675651
No proof he actually said it. Quote is falsely attributed to him.
>>1675651
If one man dies, you know his name, his life story and so on. If a million die, you don't care about a million names and their stories, hence, it becomes a statistic.

Peasantcuck! Nice to see you around. After all we know you don't have much time off from tending to your crops. I hear it's harvest season so you'll probably get a nice bonus from the Lord of the Manor.
Just don't forget to pay your tithe! The monastery really needs those funds for, huh, you know, writing illuminated manuscripts!
I'd rather be a peasant than spend all my life fasting, doing "vigils" (standing up through most of the night in order to reduce dependency on sleep), being celibate, and copying manuscripts (which must have been very fatiguing work over the course of hours and hours, day in and day out).
Hey, monk-ey, how does it feel to be forced into a small room where you literally do nothing but copy old books that people smarter than you wrote, while only getting to eat shit nobody else wanted and chatting with your "friends" (in other words, the other monks who are stuck alongside you, and just put up with you so they don't get in trouble)
Pretty good, right?

You ever read his telegraphs with Wilhelm? That might explain it.

He knew what was gonna happen. He could have prevented it.

christcucks will defend this
Anything was possible in pre-industrial China.
Originally the Taiping were a religious sect strongly influenced by Protestant missionaries.
While the Europeans sat on the fence and the Taiping pushed victoriously further towards Shanghai, the city filled up with hundreds of thousands of refugees
Every day countless dead bodies were carried with the ebb through the channels of the delta towards the sea, only to return the next day with the tide. These were unmistakable signs of the approaching fighting. At times the stench was so terrible that most residents of Shanghai wore perfumed gauze masks. When the rich Chinese merchants and bankers saw their lands being ravaged in the countryside and watched as trade collapsed in the isolated towns, they decided to do something about it and looked around for foreign professionals. They found Frederick Townsend Ward.
Ward was born in 1831 in Salem, Massachusetts. He was very restless as a child and applied unsuccessfully to the Military Academy at West Point. At 15 he ran away from home to take part in the war against Mexico
At first Ward served as first mate on a gunboat on the Yangtze. The boat belonged to a small fleet financed by Chinese merchants to curb piracy, which had increased dramatically during the war. Once he had become acquainted with the political situation and had seen what a few Europeans equipped with modern arms could achieve, he started to make his own plans. In May 1860 he made on offer to the rich banker Taki, who was the spokesman for the Chinese businessmen in Shanghai. With appropriate funding, he would set up a mercenary force of Europeans and with it expel the Taiping from the Delta around Shanghai. Taki agreed after a short consultation, and Ward received $100 a month for privates and up to $600 for the officers. This was a lot of money in a time when a skilled worker in the U.S. earned $30-40 per month.

But we don't.
The Roman empire was actually more detrimental to the future of Europe than any of the "good" that they did
Prove me wrong faggots
Pro tip: You can't
>>1675454
unlike the celts and the germans, the romans actually had an effect on the future of europe
The Roman empire wasn't even Roman, but Africans

That's a logical fallacy
Why didn't England have a revolution in the 18th-19th century like most of the west?
Because they had one in the 17th century.

Without resorting to buzzfeed/tumblr tier "fat was beautiful :^)" nonsense, can we have a thread about different standards of beauty throughout history and cultures? Can be male or female standards of beauty and relevant images are welcome.
I think Chinese foot binding is the most commonly known one, but I think ohaguro (black teeth dyeing) is more interesting. Black teeth were considered a sign of beauty and status in Japan for hundreds of years until white people arrived and introduced an alien standard of beauty.
>>1675446
>>1675449
So originally those venus figures were assumed to represent standards of beauty, but I now believe that the consensus is they were crafted by kept pregnant women while the men went out and gathered food. The reasoning is that the strange perspective that the figures represent is easily explainable by considering that it matches the perspective of a woman looking down at her pregnant body and carving what she saw.
