really makes you think

What was his endgame?

What did he mean by this?

Quite often in patriarchal societies, it seems they took offense with their moral character rather than their competence. Like, "She was cruel and petty and encouraged intrigues and assassination at court and favored courtiers who gave her a good fucking and I guess she started a golden age as well."
Or "Okay, she has read every book in the library and she's a great artist and a fine strategist and bright and pragmatic and zealous and she has governed better than any king before her, but it's unseemly for a woman to neglect her motherly duties and accumulate manly virtues."
It's pretty much the opposite of the modern sexist stereotype.

Thanks for the insight. Do you have any sources I could read? I trust your word it's just that I don't foresee this thread blowing up and I'd like to read more. Cheers.

I don't know if there's any book on the topic and I would distrust it for being politically biased, but you can check the biographies of great female rulers, especially those written by their contemporaries.

premier weirdo of the 'alt-right', although he's too wordy for most of /pol/ to parse

not that that's a high bar

oh ok sage and hidden not history

How was cambodia? Eat any tarantulas?

Cool anon, is that your picture? Angkor Wat is on my short list of places to go to, it looks pretty amazing.

That’s a shame about some of the restoration work being shoddy, although I know Cambodia has a lot of other problems to grapple with.

Yup my picture.

Here are something I found that pisses me off

Fucking Chinese tourists

>>1474071
No I dont

bad thread

Think of the children!

I dunno.

There's something about countries in that area, they all hate eachother and have weird "WE WUZ" moments.

I don't know. I knew this Turkish guy who didn't like Kurds. He said "they're kind of like Gypsies or Mexicans".

Turks control a considerable portion of Kurdistan.

Kurds live in and claim a considerable portion of Turkey.

It's way more complicated than that, but any situation like this will lead to ethnic tensions.

Depends on the topic

Not necessarily. A long spanning, thick book can be great and not pop. It's necessarily not going to be as in-depth as the same scholar covering a particular event or century, but that doesn't detract from quality.
I like to read a good overview of a subject before delving into the minutiae. If you don't have a basic grasp of British history, how are you going to fully understand a thick tome about the English Civil War?

>>1473961
You do realise the fact that there is big amount of solid, based research works , fully dedicated to short fragments of timeline due to complexity of considered events?

The Bible
The Jewish War - Josephus

>>1473809
No, the bible is not good. Its a literary work.
I want something that goes beyond the bible, that examines things based also on archeological findings.
I want different speculations on how people might have lived back then based on all the information we have.

>>1473827
Josephus wrote about the post jesus times. I wanna know about the time when israelites might have still being polytheists or were transitioning to monotheism. as in the times in which the bible was written.

>>1473807
If you're part of the elite, it's the best thing that could possibly happen.

Civilization is necessary, due to the primitive impulses of humans themselves.

They need civilization to keep them in check

I mean it's ok but it's nothing to write home about

Zizek is from another plane of existence, that's why he sounds retarded to us

Zizek is a shithead. Half the things he says might as well be lorem ipsum.

>>1473713
I like to think Zizek is something like a Sacha Baron Cohen character infiltrating the world of philosophy.

Why did the Columbine massacre have such a profound effect on American culture and society, moreso than other rampage shootings in recent times?

Yes.

what kind of doctor? midwives, barbers, monks, and educated peoples in colleges could all fit under the term "doctor" for the time. each was viewed differently and had different levels of education/knowledge

>>1473535
Well, what kind of a doctor a nobleman would fancy?

>>1473544
probably someone from a college or who had been educated/studied. University of Paris was pretty famous for its medicinal studies

we just didn't think we should get involved in the wars Europe made for themselves

imagine our surprised when it actually worked out pretty well for us

you have to see it from our perspective.

all our lives we've been in everyone else's milkshake.

I personally have never heard a fellow american downright say that we were definitively isolationist, just that we were MORE isolationist than we are now by far.

>imagine our surprised when it actually worked out pretty well for us

Yeah, 40+ years of the civilized world living in perpetual terror of a nuclear exchange sure was a barrel of laughs. God forbid we mind our own business.
