Really makes you think...

Personally, i come from a lower class to lower middle at best background. I personally think there is a genetic or epigenetic component to ambition and success, because all the poverty fags i grew up with seem just physically unable to "get it". Meanwhile the more successful people I've crossed paths with seem to be able to work hard effortlessly, and by that I mean they just have a much much greater capacity for exerting effort than their impoverished counterparts. I've managed to surround myself with a decent number of successful people and I'm doing better than anyone else has by my age in my family as far as I'm aware of, so I don't think you're completely constrained by biology, but it does play a factor. I also cut contact with my family of origin completely, and getting away from their influence has made working hard much easier, and it's made me much happier in general as well.

>would a classless society be better

Can't say. Your wealth determines the amount of opportuntity and exposure you have in life.

>birthright and social structure

Not always. People are capable of change, though admitadely this is a factor in some cases.

>Are some born to rule/ to serve

Your purpose in life is in your own hands.

>should the poor revolt?

Depends what they're revolting against.

Hurt people and have fun.

accept it. and stay on top of that shit. people and governments can't be trusted so don't let them hurt you, or hurt them preemptively.

>Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam

>Is it just because the Brits hyped Waterloo so much?

Unironically yes, that's the only reason.

>>1624376
British propaganda
Same reason why the stereotypical image of WW1 is a Brit vs a German rather than a Frenchman vs a German

Brits are bad at war but they're good at making people beliave they helped the most to win it afterwards ("helped" always apply since Brits never win wars alone)

>>1624408
WW2 is by far the best example, a war in which they did literally nothing other than getting serially raped by the Japanese.

Is lindybeige redpilled?

>>1624310

Well I watched the video, he makes a good case.

Are they allowed to do that?

Implication of torture is has always been more effective than the tortrure itself.

>>1623793
No, torture only produces confessions (or whatever the tortured person thinks the torturer wants to hear), but it is a bad way to obtain factual information from someone.

>Does something mankind has used to extract information from other men for over 6000 years work?

That's how fucking brilliant you sound.

That's because of Jews who settled in, not because of a bunch of Palestinians converting.

Just marathoned this thread, what did I think of it /his/?

I love roleplaying. I love grand strategy videogames and UN/historic simulations.
It's a good thing. Now I'm 1% less alone and my Asperger's finally is useful. It's fun. I'm happy with it. I would like to one day see everyone at work be into alternate history and in the lunch breaks instead of playing smartphone games alone I will be able to discuss with my newly found friends how could the Asai beat Oda in the battle of Anegawa River, or how the Habsburgs could have made colonies in South America.

I don't care, plebs gonna pleb, what am I supposed to do about it?
I try not to get mad about shit that has nothing to do with me.

Muhammad had a lot of named swords that were supposedly belonging to prophets and what not.

Faith and critical thinking are literally polar opposites.

Religions change, Abrahamfags. Get over it already

They believe whichever dazzling mystery makes the deepest impression either from church attendance, some life event.
They are told that everyone else is evil or misguided which they of course absorb because it fulfills our innate sense of superiority.

Is this bait
Any language spoken 1000 years ago is virtually "dead"

>>1623460
it changed but its change was not uniform so the term latin would have had a definition way too broad so we called it spanish, french, italian and a lot more

languages change anon

That's a retarded map.
I guess it suits OP.

>meanwhile I'm here with it all just being a whirl from only maybe 6 years ago and prior
>memories don't form as clear images but rather a blurry 'something' in my subconcious
>dreaming is always just really disjointed and almost viewed from third person in this really blurry non-formed state of pure emotion and only 'knowing' of events and not feeling them

Life doesn't make any sense. These things alone have made me reject all religion pretty much. I sometimes wonder if I live in a simulator gone wrong but quickly dispel that thought.

actually, if you could be transported back in time, things would look similar to the quality those photos and films have, its to do with the sun and how the light from it is different in our atmosphere in different time periods. Ever wondered why no one can ever recreate the precise look of film and photos from the 70s? Especially film, they cant even get close to it.

As for people who were alive at the time, its too gradual for them to notice/remember
