Many cultures practiced human sacrifice, and you can even see vestiges of it in the Illiad (Achilles sacrificing prisoners of war to honor Patroclus).

>>1549692

And? It's well-known that the ancients practiced human sacrifice, hell, Agamemnon sacrifices his own daughter in the Illiad and he was seen as a great and noble ruler.

It's not, a one party state gets things done while a two-party state stagnates and paves the WY for an eventual usurpation of power that becomes a one party state.

>>1549535
It's not.

The entire political party concept is a scam, and should be outlawed.

>>1549539
Sometimes a one party state gets things done. Usually a two party state doesn't get things done.

A lot of people poo poo Joseph Campbell for his monomyth stuff, but this book is a genuinely good and interesting read on the creation of a good myth story. Certainly goes into the similarities in some myths & cultures.

No problem man, if you enjoy it check out the TV series he did in the 80s with Bill Moyers called 'The Power of Myth', which is essentially a TV summary of that book. It's really fucking good & interesting.

Then he has some good mythology books under the Masks of God series.

Its a magical game of " What world war we didn't rape anyone you are mistaken "

most of the population regrets the Empire's actions in WWII, with Japanese philosophy and mentality rejecting violence as a consequence of the war. People's views on war crimes are different and polarizing, with sizable groups refusing to admit to war crimes and other peoples just saying it happened and want to move on from it.

Basically it's a lot like how Americans view the Vietnam War, terrible, bloody, and a useless conflict, but it does hit closer to home due to how directly it affected the Japanese home islands.

There is notable portions of the population who want to feel that nationalistic pride again, which makes Shinzo Abe have considerable popularity with his moves to reinstate the military to take on offensive roles once more. But that feeling of weariness concerning nationalist pride is very similar in Japan to how Germans view pride towards their nation today.

I've actually been to Troy. It was a historical place that existed. It was a major city in the Late Bronze Age and existed in different stages for thousands of years. It is in north-west Anatolia near the entrance to the Dardanelles.

Around 1200 BC there was chaos, it is fairly likely that the city was attacked by a large organised group of Greeks and sacked. Over the following 500 years during the so called Greek Dark Age or Geometric Period the story of the conflict was embellished and elaborated on by successive generations of court bards who turned the story into an epic involving gods and divine rage, preserving very little of the original war itself. By the time of "Homer" (if he existed at all) Greeks had rediscovered the ability to write and the story that had previously been preserved orally (as examined by scholars like Parry who studied oral poetry in 20th century Yugoslavia) was properly written down, cementing it forever in the form that we see it today. The myth was then elaborated on further by dozens of others until an entire Trojan Cycle was formed around the Iliad.

It is unlikely that any of the shit that happens in the Iliad actually happened in whatever conflict occurred with Troy, but the world that the story depicts is not too far dissimilar from what could have existed in some ways. Warriors in bronze, tribal chieftains fighting in one on one combat, chariots to move them around, all of that is reasonable. There was a city of Troy (or Wilusa as it was known to the Hittite Empire) that was a major power in Anatolia that existed at the same time as various Mycenean Greek polities based at places like Mycenae and Tiryns and so war is not out of the question. A 10 year war involving gods and divine anger is unlikely though.

WW2 was definitely a weird and extreme period in history. A lot of it is definitely food for thought and something you should read about.

The concept of great men determining history has already been disproven by respected historians like John Greene. Now excuse me as I make a 20 min video about Juana Inés de la Cruz

A true historian already has the propensity towards becoming a hermit anyway.

No healthy sane person will bother thinking and observing other people. Especially if those other people have been dead since long ago.

What are some famous hermit historians?
