Hadrian will always be my favorite and its a fucking shame he will only ever be remember for a wall he didn't really give a shit about.

>Brought the beard back into style
>One of the most eclectic emperors of Rome, studying art, philosophy, history, architecture, literature, politics, and law
>Humanist authoritarian
>Rebuilt the Pantheon and even restored Agrippa's name on the building rather than replacing it
>Avid hunter
>Paved the way for Marcus Aurelius and even did a good job picking a place holder in Antoninus
>First openly and exclusively gay emperor and he didn't give a fuck
>In his final tragic years, slips into depression and paranoia attempting to commit suicide several times

He's easily one of the most interesting figures to be emperor.

Honorable mentions are Julian The Apostate and Vespasian.

This guy because his name sounds like poopy-anus

Agreed, found him through an initial interest in OP's choice myself. As much as I still like good old Mark, the greekling is just shrouded in mystery. You ever read Yourcenar's Memoirs of Hadrian?

>>1666015
No. Ruby Ridge, Waco and OKC didn't trigger anything so it's safe to assume nothing would.

>>1666015

Nah. The only thing I can think of is a possibility for an American civil war post 911

>>1666015
maybe if the LA riots got so bad that other cities started chimping sympathetically and sacking police HQs and raiding armories and shit. that could quickly boil down to martial chaos.

LTV is literally just a horseshit gimmick created by Marx to prove that an alienation takes place.

Smith actually proposed the LTV in the Wealth of Nations. His idea was that diamonds and gold costed so much money because they required so much effort to extract and polish and cut.

Depending on the position you get:

1) a diamond
2) a star of David
3) an hourglass

What does it all mean?

>Pierre Terrail, seigneur de Bayard (1473 – 30 April 1524) was a French soldier, generally known as the Chevalier de Bayard. Throughout the centuries since his death, he has been known as "the knight without fear and beyond reproach" (le chevalier sans peur et sans reproche)

>At the Battle of Garigliano he single-handedly defended the bridge of the Garigliano against 200 Spaniards, an exploit that brought him such renown that Pope Julius II tried unsuccessfully to entice him into his service.[1]

>Medicine Crow joined the Army in 1943, became a scout in the 103rd Infantry Division, and fought in World War II. Whenever he went into battle, he wore his war paint beneath his uniform and a sacred eagle feather beneath his helmet.

>Medicine Crow completed all four tasks required to become a war chief: Touching an enemy without killing him, taking an enemy's weapon, leading a successful war party, and stealing an enemy's horse: He touched a living enemy soldier and disarmed an enemy when he turned a corner and found himself face to face with a young German soldier:

>"The collision knocked the German's weapon to the ground. Mr. Crow lowered his own weapon and the two fought hand-to-hand. In the end Mr. Crow got the best of the German, grabbing him by the neck and choking him. He was going to kill the German soldier on the spot when the man screamed out 'momma.' Mr. Crow then let him go."

>He also led a successful war party and stole fifty horses from a battalion of German SS-officers, singing a traditional Crow honor song as he rode off

No people would just find a different reason to kill each other, like nationality, ideology, culture etc.

>>1665345
>Ideology
>Culture
>Nationality
>implying religion has no affect on these at all in human history, erratically changing the way people see such things

>>1665338
People have been at war for literally ever since like before christ. Majority of these conflict, like majority are not based in religion but boarder disputes and other small shit people cannot let go.

Anyone who says this shit is a literal idiot. Comes back to -
>guns don't kill people, people kill people.

mommas boys

WWII
>newborn country with little experience of war
>every soldier spoke a different language - italian language was spreaded way after the unification of the country, mainly furing the fascism thanks to the radio programs
>high grades in militia were given to morons - "we are not gonna do any war, it's better making my cousin officer so he can have an easy overpayed job"
>generals tried to make battles like the ones of the napoleon's era, which don't works of course
WWII
>just hit france once and the war is over
>it's not over
They were not ready for a large scale war at all.

I hate to pick a side when it comes to these lunatics, but technically the trannies are saying that gender identity and gender roles are 100% biological and it's the result of your brain structure, which they think is messed up.

They don't push the meme that gender is a social construct, it's the feminists who do that. So yeah they're both fucking crazy but different types of crazy.

>>1665145
You are completely correct.

The roaring 20s my dude. An age of excess, decadence, art, literature and music.

>war veterans being shat on (especially in Germany)
>urban socialites being unashamedly communist

It wasn't 2016 level of progressive, it was actually much worse.

It's an nazi christian occultist zoroastrian templar mithraic heresy anon

>>1664940
Gnosticism typically posits that there is a demiurge which rules the universe and all things material, and a higher, spiritual being above him. Marcionism and most all christian Gnosticism posits that the OT God is the Demiurge and that the NT God, the God of Jesus, is the higher being. It is a dualist philosophy.

Basically an idea that Jesus wasn't Jewish, but was in fact educated at the Platonic academy and only was later said to be a Jew, which was a lie, and that his philosophy has nothing to do with Judaism.
