"Paganism" was just a derogatory term for anyone who wasn't either Christian or Jewish. Technically Europe's currently being flooded with pagans from MENA

>>1638708
No.

Plenty in Asia and Africa though. But most white pagans would be deeply disturbed by that because it's not some casual fun BS like what they practice

>>1638708
I think Iceland still has some churches that have a continuous legacy with the old norse religion. Hellenists also exist and I think out of all the pre-christian faiths we have enough documentation of it to genuinely start it up again in the modern era. I don't know if they actually sacrifice at temples, probably not, but who knows.

I guess the last true pagans in Europe were the Baltics who were "converted" in some medieval crusade.

Pick up a book, the greatest writer to ever live was a Russian.

>>1638672

Im gonna bump this thread because i have to know

Why the fuck did Rome build a wall all the way over there but didn't do the same for the more difficult borders? Or at least to close off Italy?

Marcion exposed churchfags for the power greedy plebs they were

>heresiarchs
What's that? How is it different from heretic?

>>1638607

It's very likely they accumulated those taboos along the way.

>>1638607

The opposite, in fact. Heavy discussion of dairy and meat implies that they were pastoral, wheras the much less treatment that cereals and vegetables get in the dietary laws implies that there wasn't as much contact.

Plus, think of your biblical stories. Cain and Abel right off the bat has the "Good shepherd, bad farmer", and almost all of the major Israelites who start from the bottom are shepherds at some point. Abraham has flocks, and his dispute with Lot over grazing is what leads him to kicking his nephew out. Jacob works as a shepherd for 20 years. Saul runs into Samuel while looking for some stray sheep, and David too, is the youngest in his family of shepherds.

They were almost certainly pastoral people who later came into contact with settled agricultural ones.

What about the holocaust?

>>1638608
I was thinking that too, but I'm under the impression people just say that because it's better known.

>>1638523
Hitler was literally inspired by it when deciding to plan the genocide of Slavs.

>I have issued the command -- and I'll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad -- that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formations in readiness -- for the present only in the East -- with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space (Lebensraum) which we need. Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?

Merlin made Uther look like Gorlois, and Uther marries Ygraine afterwards besides, so it's all good.

The author didn't subscribe to cuckoldry-based internet ideology, you're projecting it onto the text

>isn't it Christian
Sure, but it predates Puritanism by centuries. Medievals were pretty lewd

The teutonic order carved out it's own little state in the baltics from pagan kingdoms, they were probably the most successful of all of them.

the precursor to prussia, would you count them and the livonians as the same or different?

>>1638225
Who has the biggest cock is always a difficult question to answer.

Unrelated, what amuses me is the people hating the French and worshiping the very French Templars and Hospitalers. Those two orders did impressive things and, some have argued, were the closest thing the crusaders had to a professionnal, highly trained and disciplined standing army (made of ze French cowards).

What is really needed is /sht/ for 'shitposting battles between crusading catholics and Chicks Comics style protestants'.

No. Things would be exactly the same.

they gave it because they didn´t really need it anymore, having two independent navies

Not just that, but the supercarriers are too big to go through the canal, so even if we owned it, we wouldn't get much military utility out of it

By whom? Odysseus was king of Ithaca.

>king of ithaca
>rest of ithaca dead at troy
>murdered everyone who would oppose him
who's doing the arresting?

He was the King and the guys were creeping on his wife against her will and exploiting their guest right

Yes, they should have killed all the Jews and given the Samaritans their land

>>1637856
How can one little city state achieve this? This is so unreal.

Definitely not
Unless you blame the empire for falling, which is kinda stupid

But to me their most important contribution is giving the West the Pax Romana to show them how an empire is supposed to be run in its middle stages, not to mention Diocletian and Theodosius saving the empire by dividing it, which may have prevented parts of Europe from being conquered before the Franks, Saxons, Visigoths and Poles got their shit together and created monarchies that could defend themselves.

So it would be correct to say that the French are a Germanic people?

>>1637822
Germanic is a language group. As they intermixed with the local population, the Germanic Franks naturally adopted the local languages, most of which were Romance languages.

Some French are Germanic, namely in Alsace and parts of Lorraine and French Flanders. However those Germanic languages are mostly extinct, and all French nowadays speak French which is the sole official language of the country, so no you'd have to say the French are a Romance speaking people.

>>1637822
Germanics in Gaul/France were absorbed and assimilated by the Latin colonials and Romanized Gaulic/Celtic peoples.
