Why is the pattern with with Dharmic religions so overtly contrary to middle eastern Abrahamic religions? Dharmic religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, and more recently, Sikhism) have never seen any sort of rapid expansionism similar to that of which Abrahamic religions used to spread their religion. Sure, all religions, if not most have had their fair share of nut cases applying religion to further their own political interests, but in comparison to Abrahamic religions, there's no correlation between the two in terms of rapid expansionism, and a surge in sudden conversion among the population.

It's pretty hard to believe in the guardian spirits of the Ganges and the Himalayas when you're in Wyoming.
Best and worst factions to play as?
Best: Spain. OP cavalry and spearmen. Once you have southern Iberia and north eastern Africa, your money is limitless.
Worst: Egypt or Byzantines because EVERY FUCKER declares war on you when you're just peacefully trying to build an economy.
And mods, this game is related to history.

The best is objectively Venice. You start near the orthodox heretics, so you can conquer, plunder and destroy without having to fear the Pope in your first turns. Once you have Greece and the balkans you get a lot of cash too. Also, being in the middle of the map, you get to interact (i.e. fight) with all sorts of factions.

Was the Treaty of Versailles too lax?
I've heard a lot about it being one of the main reasons why the Germans rose again against the world because it was too harsh
But if it was too harsh how was German able to create in 20-25 years enough of a Industrial and economic base that they can wage war against the world (and lose) again?

It was harsh, too harsh for them to do and harsh enough to royally piss them off. It wasn't too lax, it just wasn't enforced.

Are we capable of civilized interaction without laws and governments or is freedom the price to pay for security from each other?

Every anthropological evidence points out to this : Humans, by nature, are dirty animals who would love to bash each other's heads for any particular reason of survival. The only way to civilize people is to impose order on them.

The Golden Circle
A secessionist secret society wanted to take over the whole Gulf / Caribbean region to help perpetuate slavery. I'm not really sure how serious of an idea it was, and it'd be interesting to see how one-drop rule American racial hierarchy would mesh with the castas system

Until Canada makes the Jews give half of it back in 70 years because of "Muh colonialist occupation! Muh indigenous rights!"
Butthurt over creating a Jewish state wouldn't change a bit, much like butthurt over jews existing at all anywhere hasn't changed. Only solution is to let the Jews kill the uppity natives and get on with our lives.

So /his/, which of these two will be the first to establish a cult?
I sense a creepy vibe from both the School of Life and Stefan Molyneux - the School of Life with how it is trying to be a 'secular religion' and Stefan with his DeFOO stuff and compelling charisma.
Present evidence to support your arguments.

I don't know what the School of Life is.
I do t understand why people call Molyneux a cult leader. He's just a popular YouTube thinker who supports an unrealistic political ideal.

Come on. It's an anonymous board. No need to make stuff up, nobody is going to judge you here.
Me, I don't really care about the poor 100% of the time. Sure, I get emotional when I see people living in the dirt or a poor kid getting a bike for Christmas, but everyone including hard-capitalist find that emotional.
The real reason I'm anti-capitalist is personal interest. I don't want to work Ina cubicle for 8 hours a day. I'm not lazy (or maybe I am), I think it's unnatural and a waste of human potential. Kant and Nietzsche would go on long walks to philosophize, Socrates and Plato taught outdoors. Personally, I'd like to be an artist or a philosopher, not necessarily an art or philosophy teacher who gets payed a minimum and sub-minimum wage while STEM fags get paid a lot more because their skills have higher demand in a market economy. The system is rigged against me so I'm against the system. Simple as that. Of course I'll publicly say it's because of the plight of the proletariat, or Asian sweat shop workers or something like that, but it's really self interest.
Don't fool me, oh man! I know you well enough already to know that you too are not so self-less as you claim you are. Tell us the real reason why you're against capitalism.

Does anyone else notice a grate shift in ideology about to happen? As alt-right becomes more socially acceptable as a reaction to sjw culture, 4chan slowly becomes more left and reddit slowly becomes more right. The braking point will be when Donald Trump wins this years election.

How much did the average European scholar know about the rest of the world? About Far East and India and Sub-Saharan Africa, and all the rest? How much did the average nobleman? The average peasant? Did the commoners even know what countries there were outside Europe?

Most people would only be able to know where certain continents are.
After that, going any deeper would mean you'd lose the majority.

>Panvilov’s 28 is a movie devoted to a famous act of bravery by the Soviet soldiers that managed to protect Moscow back in 1941, with most of them paying the ultimate price for this deed. The movie has been created in partnership by the 28 Panfilov’s men studio and Gaijin Entertainment, the video game developer that created the famous MMO - “War Thunder”.
Looks pretty good for some Russian indy studio and a video game company.

> An investigation by Soviet authorities in 1948, since declassified, revealed that the description of the events was exaggerated. Six of the soldiers were still alive, including one who was arrested in 1947 on charges of high treason and confessed to having “voluntarily” surrendered to German troops and later joined a German police force

In March 17, 2016, Russia's State Archive of Socio-Political History removed its director Sergei Mironenko from his post after he exposed Ivan Panfilov and his legend to be “fiction” and railed against Soviet “myths” in front of top officials. Mironenko went on to call the legend of Panfilov to be not even a myth but a deliberate “falsification."
