Those countries are not Western, they wear Western clothes and have a Western style government but their culture is still Asian. They don't care about individualism and personal freedom, that's a European development. Even Russia is slowly going back to Tsarism again.

East Asia was never homophobic before the western influence.

Actually I met that chinese girl when I was travelling the Middle East. Didn't get to know her too much since we were following different routes, but she was totally buttdevastated about how muslims treat women. According to her, everyone is super equal in China thanks to communism.

Now, she was probably an ignorant urban posh princess and bullshitting me. Obviously. But the mere fact that she was offended because muslims aren't feminist enough means that feminism has some presence in her country.

You would have the best one if only had you accepted your rightful place as Greater Galicia, the spanish region.

Too late now :^ )

>the only "knights" in medieval Portugal were religious fanatics (templars) and lawless bastard sons from france in search of feuds
What else did you expect ? That's the alpha and omega of chivalry.

>How did Mansa Musa fuck up the economy with his gold spending?
Surge in gold in circulation caused the price of gold to collapse; became worthless.
>can someone explain how it worked out?
Badly. It took more than a decade for the price of gold to normalize. He tried to buy back as much gold as he could, but the damage was done and there was nothing anyone could do but wait.

He made it rain in Cairo

And had an awkward moment with the sultan since neither wanted to bow to any but Allah

It depends on what you want.

If you want a light bite-sized somewhat bias version, start with Crash Course on YouTube

If you actually want to get into the meat and potatoes, you need to read books like Guns, Germs, and Steel, etc.

Anyone who thinks Protestants aren't the most vile form of Christianity obviously doesn't live in America

t. Atheist

History will remember Protestantism as a stepping stone on the way to atheism.

You can deny it all you want, but the same places that were the heartland of the reformation are now the most secular places in the west.

I'd guess it has something to do with rivers building sediment layers or something.

They're like ogres.

There was not much of a regular trash service, other than dogs and pigs rooting through the trash.
So the streets built up with non organic trash.
When a building was destroyed, they did not clear the debris away, it just became the new foundation.

Interesting and important questions that I'd like to discuss. Too bad that I don't live in America.

You need to explain why you think like you do, OP.

>Hollywood relies on social hierarchy
Isn't a train of thought most people understand. I don't atleast, and I obsess about social hierarchy more than the average person.

>>1308400
Your opinion matters all the same to me. Although I do live in America, I understand that collectively we are a global population.
>>1308420
I mean that Hollywood movies tend to rely on the same core-group of movie stars when in fact there are over 7 billion people in the world. It just seems like the ratio of movie stars in hollywood to people in the world is skewed. Like, would Hollywood thrive all the same if the title "movie star" wasnt so heavily assiciated with seemingly worldwide-fame?

They're pretty much a human metaphor for ants, why do you bother caring about them?
