>"Wow Anon, you haven't even read [important non fiction book]? You must be dumb!"
If this was said in the UK then what would the book be?
>>1197171
Empire by Niall Ferguson
>>1197171
The Quran
>>1197190
He said non fiction.
>it says here you "love the Emperor"
>care to explain?
yeah, the Holy Roman Emperor
>>1196944
Too bad the emperor in question abolished that.
Calling things spook is a spook. Prove me wrong Stirnerfags.
Calling things spook is certainly a spook,
but understanding a spook is an entirely different category, and what Stirner in reality proposes.
>>1196904
So? Are you telling me I need to follow what Stiner wrote word for word?
>>1196915
Stirner doesn't think calling things a spook is a spook. Stirner sees a spook as an essence, calling something a spook is suggesting this essence is imaginary, which is not an essence at all.
What the fuck was his problem?
Nothing really. His mother was a Christian, he was most likely raised Christian, and it clearly had an influence on him as he got older.
He recognized that roman society wouldnt stand for religious unrest and thus attempted to stamp out a single agreed upon doctrine for the entirety of the empire.
He carried the same beliefs politically which is why he reunited the empire.

Oh damn those tolerant chill worshipers of old god's. All those christian sects who are just waiting to cut each other throats are so much more civilized
>He carried the same beliefs politically which is why he reunited the empire.
5 heirs - 3 sons who hated each other fiercly, and 2 nephews - one of them in Constantinople(!!!). Total war guaranteed.
>>1196992
Constantine didn't persecute any pagans. His major act was stopping persecution of Christians altogether. He did this because his mom was Christian, and because Jesus was the God who responded out of the countless ones he prayed to before a key battle that would determine whether or not he'd be Caesar. He continued to be a pagan himself for the most part until his deathbed, when he converted.
Post men with facial hair.
When did Anglos start shaving their beards, and why?
>infidels
>facial hair
Pretty sure Iranians thought you weren't a man if you had no beard.
Beards couldn't fit into gas masks so soldiers had to be clean shaven in WW1
It caught on because the boys returning home were cooler than the rest.
What I'm curious about is if having a beard way back when was the same as having a beard now. When beards weren't popular it was a sign of masculinity, but now it's a clear fashion statement. Was that also the case in the past?
How does this make you feel?
>>1196594
He is an okay writer. What bothers me is that he calls others biased and illogical and seems to imply he is none of that. We're all biased and also illogical at times, it is our psychology.
That's all.
>>1196594
bemused. He's wrong about nearly everything and I don't know what possessed him to post that on facebook of all places. It's way up reddit's alley.

Did Christians and Jews fight in Saladin's army?
>>1196558
Probably.
>>1197225
this t b h
>>1196558
Highly likely.
It may boggle your mind to discover Christians fought in Muslims armies and Muslims fought in Chirstian armies during the Reconquista.
What was the intent behind the Dieppe raid? Everything I read on it pretty much talks about what a disaster it was and all those Canadians that got killed or captured.
I presume that wasn't the goal. What were the British trying to accomplish at Dieppe?
>>1196512
Why would you presume that?
The Eternal Anglo is always looking to kill white people.
just a jolly feint
Wasn't is a feint and distraction so the commandos could knick the enigma machine or whatever?
>tfw you will never sail across the world, compete with the rest of Europe for the hegemony of the rest of the world
>tfw never going to spread language and Christian values
Hold me, /his/, this cultural shift that we've been suffering has eroded the foundations of our civilization.
>compete with the rest of Europe for the hegemony of the rest of the world
Only Britain, as the Chosen People, has the divine mandate to civilise and Christianise the globe.

But you're not even christian anymore, oldest ally.
Why are there so few pictures of medieval travellers/soldiers carrying around luggage? I understand that part of pilgrimmage was to live on charity and soldiers having a whole lot less kit but still.
If I'm a soldier on campaign I'd atleast want a basic hygiene kit, sewing kit, rations, a canteen, a bedroll, extra clothes, tools, cookware and eating utensils, camping equipment, personal items and some form of entertainment. Some of these soldiers were on campaign for decades, obviously they would accumulate more stuff than the clothes on their backs and surely not everyone would have a pack animal. Did medieval artists just not feel it important to show that kind of equipment? I have a hard time believing they'd just carry these little purses that we see in artwork.
Pic related and even then its the only illustrations I've seen of a bag with shoulder straps.
Very few people remember or consider to draw that stuff.
They're artists who draw it, after its happened and without having seen it themselves usually.
Go look up drawings of modern soldiers on deviantart today, it will be generally correct but they'll probably not include the giant equipment packs.
Baggage train and camp fallowers, bruh
>that D&D shopping list
>"canteen"
>"extra clothes"
>>1196349
Because manuscript illustrations tend to show the glorious bits, knights in armour charging at each other or troops scaling the walls, not servants putting up tents or digging latrines.
There's a few pictures showing military logistics though.
Pic is from the Morgan Bible.
Was this guy right about anything?
No

Discuss.
I'd rather that they found his lost works.

maybe they can do a forensic reconstruction
supposedly Alexander is buried in Venice as St. Marc
>>1195509
>maybe they can do a forensic reconstruction
By working on what?
They cremated their dead.
Why were the Italians such bad soldiers during WW2 ?
-poor equipment/worse than Japs
-poor leadership/worse than Sowejts
-terrible moral, population really wanted no war
>>1195455
>during WW2
>>1195455
It's all Anglo and German propaganda!
Is there any basis to the claims he was a plagiarist?
No. Notice how these claims never come from people who actually understand the "plagiarized" material (physicists), and the people he supposedly plagiarized from were perfectly willing to give him credit. It's just a /pol/ meme because he's the only Jewish scientist they know.
>>1195371
What is he supposed to have stolen? Lorentz Transformation?
>>1195774
Poincare's ideas as well as Lobatchevski's
>inb4 on giant's shoulders
Would western and central Europe be as developed as sub-Saharan Africa if it weren't for the Romans? Particularly the Germanic peoples, since they failed to invent anything of note prior to Roman conquest. According to Tacitus, they even lacked agriculture, which puts them on the same level as the least developed Africans.
>>1195286
Yes.
Because the Celticucks were coming home from fighting in Greece/Diadochoi/Rome that they were beginning to have ideas. Population centers were already popping up and Celtic tribes in the continent were gathering in huge confederacies.
Problem was, Rome's power was also growing.
>they even lacked agriculture
no they didn't. even roman propaganda never claimed that.
>>1195286
So you be sayin that path dependence doesn't exist? We could discuss how much cultural influence Romans had, but it is impossible to know what the removal of Romans lead to.
