>Does history repeat itself?
What do you mean?

I have dropped multiple balls in my life. Have I dropped the exact same ball in the exact relative moment before?

Well that's impossible.

>>1503668
Yes. Take the redpill and read Oswald Spengler.

>>1503668
No, just rhymes

Also not really a castle, but a pretty comfy citadel/fortification nonetheless.

And now for a bit of variation, a Nipponese castle.

That depends.
What is a good purchase? Which characteristics make a purchase good or bad?

There's no such thing as ethical consumption under Capitalism.

what is "purchase" truly?

bump lads, come on,

My great grandfather was irish and he came to america and joined the war. He got in a group with a spanish guy who beat him up. Apparently because the first iberians was ruled by kings who was irish. Tarquinius superbus the last irish king of iberia was overthrown by the iberians who ruled iberia for a couple of centuries. Until sulla the great irish general overthrew the iberians and exterminated them in the social war. Now irish was running iberia again and a iberian wasnt seen in the region again until it was sacked by alaric and the iberians eventually killed or sent the black irish to ireland. Julius caesar was irish.
He said it was payback for all the years of oppression the irish caused his people. But he got cancer from the blast in nagasaki and die.

It would've certainly have given the (true) Roman Empire a bit more life. I think Stilicho was the name of a Roman general who was actually competent at fighting off the Germanic barbarians but he too was killed by political rivals. Honestly if it's reached a point where politicians put their paranoia and egos above the survival of state like late Rome did then it deserves to die.

>>1503442
They would have a little while

This might be a little contrarian... but I think the Western Roman Empire was capable of absorbing Germanic peoples in Majorian's time (absolute bloody legend by the way). The Empire had provincial elites of many different nationalities to manage the Empire even in its heyday (Augustus to the Severans), so I think it was possible to preserve the Empire

Keep in mind the Romans had a crisis almost as severe before Aurelian. Diocletian and Constantine launched reform efforts that saved the Empire for a whole century

Anyway the fuckers killed Majorian and the Empire was finally killed by the stupid court intruiges and naval sabotage

Oh and BTW the navy was ignominiously captured in the Vandal invasion. Majorian's brand new fleet (which I think took 3 years to build) was sabotaged. Fatal for the Empire, they could not stop the Vandals

Probably because Prussia and Germany built most Latin American militaries from the ground up, including Chile. They were also the most prominent immigrants to Latin America and the largest trade partner with many Latin American countries, specifically South American ones, prior to WWI. Prussia and Germany did more to shape Latin America between 1850-1914 than any other country could have dreamed. Hell, Guatemala almost willingly became a Prussian colony before the idea was axed by the U.S., France and Britain (mostly France and Britain).

Hitler is pretty popular in modern day India too.

>>1503333

Thought the Pajeets only liked Hitler because he fought the British

Antiochus IV wasn't struck down when he desecrated the Holy of Holies.

Makes you think.

This brave young man wasn't struck down when he burned down that church.

Really makes you think.

Mixed bag president, but you'd have to be a serious tryhard to deny the nobility of his post-presidential career.

>>1503240
Cool guy, bad president. 21st century Teddy Roosevelt.

>>1503274
Also before anyone takes it out of context, I mean that Carter, who is not well liked for what he did as president, is more liked in the 21st century for his personal shit. Just like Teddy was in the 20th.

Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois are swing states at best, not really purely conservative. And Minnesota is outright liberal.

The concept isn't appreciably different to other places in Europe with the exception that there wasn't a single authority over all-Ireland.

You might as well ask how the HRE or Italy functioned.

Oh, neat, a topic on /his/ I actually know something about.

I feel the use of the word "function" is a bit problematic (:^)), it wasn't a single cohesive state and it wasn't supposed to be. You could compare it to the Holy Roman Empire or medieval Italy. We think of it as one state in modern times but back then everyone identified with their own regional power (though there was a sense of being 'Gaelic' that extended beyond the boundaries of one's kingdom, and that was partially what the High Kingship was about but that's a whole other kettle of fish).
