What a very bizarre statement!

By starting three wars following fifty years of peace (1815-64), and that helped turned Euorpe into the powder keg of rival blocks, and left an embittered and humilated France set on revenge that led to WWI?

>>1364795
>embittered and humilated France
>implying that's a bad thing

I agree with everything you're saying, but to play devil's advocate for the other side, it does cost money to produce the stuff. With low quality pleb bait, usually not out of the creators' pockets, but their production/record company, which is why no one cares about stealing from them. When artists have to pay out of pocket to create something, it means less crap, higher quality, but there is no way to predict that people will like it, so it's more cost effective to make garbage that COULD turn a profit than let the market run itself.

> That's because I simply wouldn't buy 95% of my pirated content.

Except this isn’t true and you know it.

Prior to easy and practical on-line pirating, everybody paid for cable tv, everybody was buying CDs and DVDs and everybody was paying to rent movies from video rental stores and later, Netflix.

But as technology improved and anyone could quickly and easily pirate content, everyone did, as there is no way you can sell something for less then free.

It has absolutely nothing to do with your taste in entertainment and is in fact, all about getting something for nothing.

intellectual property laws are literally thought policing

Plato himself wrote that Atlantis is a thought experiment.

The whole legend of Atlantis is a meme spread by retards who never bothered to read the original source.

Does thought experiment mean real?

That's what the Cathars thought, but apparently god didn't love them enough to let them survive a good heretical burning.

Take the Bible as it is.

The chronicles and message of a turn of the millennium Jewish preacher and the much older folklore of his people originating from their nomadic past.

The only reason they were put together in a single book is because they wanted the Jewish converts to their religion to have a continuity of faith to ease their mind.

Old Testament Yahweh will kill you and everyone in your tribe, but that's about it, then you go down to sheol like everyone else.

New Testament the Father will literally burn you for all of eternity.

I know which one I would be more afraid of.

Not only was this the greatest cucking in the history of the universe, it was also the moment when the romans realized they were inferior to germanics on every level

>that picture
>no height discrepancy
>horned helmets
>none of them carrying spears or sheilds

germans vs romans would look like adult men of today fighting well armoured children. Germans would have shields and spears. Probably not every single on of them was blond. Their bodies would be massive in comparison to the romans. Their horses would be the size of ponies

Would they really be that much taller? At all in fact? Why do you think this?

Why not?

he repeatedly strategically and tactically outmaneuvered his opponents beating them so badly that the french king once thanked one of his later generals for not having lost as badly as his predecessors.

and he did this while having to manage a multinational coalition with competeing objectives and requirements.

he was a master of marching and logistics and won most of his battles by fairly crushing exchange rates

blenheim he had 52000 men and 66 guns against 56000 and 90 guns and took losses of 4500 killed and 8000 wounded for french losses of 20000 casualties and 14190 captured

Ramillies with a slight force advantage saw him take less than 4000 total casualties for the loss of 19000 french troops.

as for equals eugene of savoy was the closest and they worked together often but Eugene considered churchill to be the better commander

or germany, britains foreign policy as a general rule has been to prevent any single power arising in europe that could threaten britain, and to keep trade open with as much of europe as possible.

Historians are obsessed with what was left behind, not necessarily what is or was important. That's why the Renaissance gets it's own chapter in history books when it was just fucking paintings and sculptures, it left stuff behind for historians to obsess over.

>>1363646
Try reading some early Japanese history. Not even art history, just regular history. 10 000 years of pottery with ropes on it and nothing else, because nothing else was left behind.

its interesting to me to consider that the ancient egyptians may not really have been as obsessed with death and the afterlife as we think, its just that their mortuary stuff preserved better than anything else

Remember that WW2 Croatia included Bosnia, and that Bosnian muslims participated in the whole thing.
