All Roman Legionnaires shaved and kept their hair short, and presumably banned tattoos as well.

Only when they started hiring foederati did beards became allowed again

>>1335546
The foederati, who are they? I know very little about the Romans and the empire.

Romans were not immune to fashion. Sometimes facial hair was fashionable, sometimes it was not. On body hair, Julius Caesar consistently depilated himself, but I seriously doubt the soldiers had time and will to bother with that too much.

Tattoos were barbaric.

>>>/v/ you marketer faggot. This has nothing to do with history.

It's probably just how they talk on the reservations.

>>1344675
It's simply the way the native-American group he's in talks. It really is that simple. Communities within countries form linguistic groups, and they raise their children to talk like they do.

Take the "London" accent for example. There are many different "London" accents, depending on which part of London, social class and even ethnic group. Pakistani Muslims in London talk differently to white or Chinese-descent Londoners even from the same part of London and from the same economic background because of the interactions within a closed group. The extent of this distinction and its persistence over time scales often with how insular or ghettoised the group is.

A British person closing their eyes listening to him speak will know he's a Pakistani Muslim from the South of England just from his voice, yet a non-British person will likely just hear a "British" accent.

pretty much all steppe fuckers are basically considered mongol

In my experience books that I have been recommend are mostly shit. Books I enjoyed I found while browsing my interests and founding books on the subjects. Some even by random chance.

Maybe start with generalist books and specialize into what you are interested in.

Also the library is full of meme books. Meme books? Yea, the most popular stuff.
That doesn't necessary mean it is all bad, just that you'll find some great scientific works not there.
Also as a graduate of ecology the nature section is horrible. It is all pleb tier. Like /an/

This is really more of a /lit/ thread, but I'd say for English, Shakespeare's series of Richard II, Henry IV part 1, Henry IV part 2, and Henry V are very mandatory for embarking on any rich, pleasurable experience of literature.

Into the trash it goes.

Yeah, Nitobe's Bushido is mostly bullshit. But it worked.

>For the greater part of their history, the sword was not an important weapon to the samurai.
I think what it means by this is the sword was primarily a status symbol. It is true that the bow and arrow were used and perfected by the samurai to be used while on horseback. Other weapons were used during the Warring States period in Japan, such as spears. Samurai even used guns when it was introduced to them. Honour was a massive part of every samurai's life, but they weren't stupid. Of course guns were the better weapons, and if it meant winning more wars, then they used them

Nah he is probably one of the most intelligent people to ever live and had a profound grasp of aristotles philosophy.

When we get past the current hiccup and swollow our pride and not handwave him for being a catholic he"ll return to prominence

>arguments stink

He is probably one of the smartest people to ever walk the planet. How do you think knowledge works? That a person who knows literally nothing, if they are smart enough and think long enough can know everything?

That is like saying Newton was a dumbass because while he did invent Calculus he didn't figure out integration and derivation of trigonometric functions.

Nah

Define "bullshit."
