Because they came to hold a lot of power in the court, had a hand in all sorts of intrigues and were pretty self serving in general.
It actually has nothing to do with the fact that they're eunuchs, if another group composed of people with intact benis and balls did the same things they did they would be vilified as well. You couldn't criticize the Emperor for being a weak kuk of course.

>>1362698
Dunno.
Weren't they made eunuchs so they'd be more trustworthy? Because they couldn't start their own dynasty's and nepotism would be less of an issue?
Maybe it was a machismo thing. They weren't quite men but still had a lot of power and that raised a few alarms?

Non-men are the least trustworthy creatures.

No, it's clearly biased. Modern Judaism comes entirely from Pharisaic Judaism, this is presuming all ancient Judaism was Pharisaic.

>>1362004
Also, Islam obviously comes out of Christianity, since they consider Jesus to be the Messiah.

>>1362011
It shouldn't come out of it, but it should be connected via a dotted line?

Good on you. Getting into genetics in September. Found a pretty comfy apartment near the university.

"Just remember anon, a university is just like any other corporation. You need to be on the lookout for lies at all times, especially from your professors" - paraphrase of my Native American studies professor, he was right.

Nice one OP. What are you planning to do after college? Academia? If you're not planning to get a job in a field related to your degree, I'd advise you look into working part-time (so you can have a good few months of work-experience on your CV by the time you graduate) or learning a marketable, in-demand skill so you can easily find a job out of college and avoid the period of NEETdom that many anons find themselves in. Apparently employers value months/year of work-experience more than degrees even if it's in a completely pleb-tier job because it shows you had your shit together enough to work somewhere and not be fired.

>She was a politician
>OP does not want to discuss politics

Well I heard the Queen can do a great impression of her.

Sure was. Funny how occasionalism is dominant in Islam to this day yet never mentioned when discussing Islam's compatibility with western civilization.

>Isn't al-Ghazali responsible for the cultural and scientific stagnation of the Muslim world?

Ghazali, Ibn taymiyya, and more gerenally all muslims scholars who didn't belong to Persia, Baghdad or Al-Andalus.

>>1360805
No. Occasionalism was never a doctrine to begin with, but an exercise in refuting the views of some of his opponents on observation and causality using their own logical tools. He did not condemn rationalism or inquiry of nature either, nor did he condemn change and innovation.

What was persuasive about al-Ghazali was the way he used Greek tools of logic in understanding Islamic doctrine and theology, something which the likes of Ibn Taymiyya condemned. He had nothing to do with the cultural or intellectual decline of the Muslim world.

Genghis Khan, or world ruler devastating invasions of Asia destroyed Muslim civilisations and tilted the balance for the first time in favour of Christian Europe – one unintended consequence of a career that would also change Russia, India and China, making Temujin probably the most influential human in history

Such a kind thing for you to alert us from the get-go that this is a meme thread.

And where are my babies Wolfe and de Montfort?

Do you feel that Subutai diminishing his greatness at all? I've read some people who think Genghis wouldn't have been near the man he was without him.

>>1360444

It's not a troll thread man. I was careful to alert you guys as to my ignorance of History, so it wouldn't be seen as so by more knowledgeable people. I know Leonidas is forever meme tier with all the over statements of his badassery, and that shitty movie, but from what I know, he had merits. I know the initial force sent in were basically the Persian pleb soldiers, but holding formation, and slaughtering them was a pretty impressive show of his men's trust in him. Then they fucked up the 'immortals' in the same manner. From what I know Xerxes with rather flustered, and it wasn't until the betrayal of the hidden pass that this massive force was able to break them. I think a man who could command such loyality among a darwinian warrior culture has some merits to him. Him and the few thousand Athenians/others who stayed until they end and gave Athens time, impress me. I'm not somewhat caught up in his hollywood tier myth.

>Erwin Rommel

Make an argument against him. Not like I put him top 5. From what I know his failures were more a results of higher up administrative meddling. Were there any more competent German generals in WWII in your opinion?

>George Washington

I caterigize him as a great General as a result of multiple factors combining into one. Took up this seemingly hopeless war as some random Colonel from the French and Indian war. I have to imagine if you were in that room, you'd think the cause fucked. Washington was a very lucky general in my opinion. Napoleon's quote “I know he's a good general, but is he lucky?” make me think of him. He started out with some pretty bad losses, unconventional hit and run war fare etc. The fact that the guy, prior had not once commanded an army of any real size, and was often fighting with less than zero supplies, and untrained

Ay.

Canadabro in US. Can confirm; morale is at an all time low.

Spears and pikes were pretty much the most important melee weapons, though.

>>1362176
Spears where the most commonly used weapon in history. Swords are considered to be the most commonly used by the general population however this isn't true. axes, whilst used they where not a common weapon by any means nor where they particularly effective.

I was under the impression that spears weren't exactly the most effective weapon, just more cost-effective and easier to mass produce.

Germans would have been defeated with or without the Americans.

Even Britain's contribution was more important.

I'm white, but does that mean I'm related to Kings of Europe?

Maybe, but more likely my ancestors were all a bunch of shit and lice covered peasants.

Time is an illusion that man created to better percieve the order of events as they happened around them.

>>1365139
Some mix of hellenic polytheism and thelema probably.

>>1365139
the west had its time, and its now colapsing and eating itself....no religion can revive it.....if anything the only religion that might unite large chunks of the west might be stupid versions of fundamentalist christianity that might make us slide back

also, paganism isnt a religion, its a collection of religious practices, modern 'paganism' is a naive fantasy

helenistic paganism has no bareing on modern peoples and is too thought of as mythology and history to come back
islam has no real traction in the west culturaly
and budhism has the abve problem of cultural traction


you need to acept that the world is about to change its axis and the west will fall slowly but surely

>>1365139
>Islam
>Out of the question
Not quite, according to the founder of Thelema and certain later adherents but that's a long and convoluted story.

>Paganism
Almost a meaningless designation without further specificity. Could mean anything or nothing.

>Hellenic Paganism
I do think the later Neoplatonic and GMP materials are pretty based. If you wanted a group more inclined toward "renaissance", these are probably it.

>Buddhism
I have no clue why any serious Buddhist practitioner would give a wet shit about revitalizing any given culture.

>Thelema
1) If you can't handle the Egyptian, Kabbalistic, and to a lesser extent Freemasonic materials it's rooted in then it's not for you. 2) Evola didn't REALLY endorse that shit, and if you want to take a right-leaning perspective on the practices I recommend Fuller and Pessoa (i.e. Brazilian Integralism), though I would also question any approach to Thelema that favors traditionalism over synchretism and I doubt actual Adepts are any more interested in cultural revitalization than any given Buddhist.

I think it is the model of the basic income. Supplemented with work. This sort of thing stands the strongest.

Well if you want to industrialize...
