You are aware that moer and more and more people do analyse every product, and decide to buy more enviromentally friendly, right?

Besides capitalism as a system has nothing to do with the enviroment. The market does.

People are just able to "care" more because of social media trends. Nestle is still one of the biggest food companies.
Doesnt really change my question, how does the market then doesnt fuck up the enviroment

They just picked her because she's the only african american woman anybody ever heard about in the school books.

I am interested about the success rate, but i think that figure would be really elusive. It would be hard to measure successfully escaped slaves, they'd obviously be living off the books.

I do agree that they picked Tubs because it was an easy way to kill two representation birds with one stone, but I disagree over her relevancy. Rosa Parks is touted as the most important female figure of the civil rights movement and personally I would have preferred that she got the spot.

Do youvpeople live under a rock? There were thousands of people who supported a particular individual who called for Tubman's face on the 20$

Tubman also led the Raid at Combahee Ferry freeing upwards of 600-700 enslaved people.

Galileo was the first person to practise the scientific method, never accepting any theory until it was confirmed by experiment. In the 16th century Copernicus hypothesised that instead of being at the centre of the universe, the Earth went round the sun. But Copernicus didn't offer any evidence; that came in the 1600s when Galileo made a telescope - not the first, but the best thus far - and turned it on the sky. He discovered sensational things: that the moon has a rough surface like the Earth's, disproving the medieval belief that celestial bodies are "perfect"; that Jupiter has moons, suggesting that the Earth with its moon is merely an ordinary planet.

The Italian Renaissance was killed by the counter-reformation. It is a disturbing historical example of what can happen when religion gets its own way.

>>1011329
From what I'm looking at though, Galileo didn't have the proper empirical evidence and made faulty excuses in his proposal, such as bullshit about the tides, to push his point. The church was on the right side when rejecting the Copernican interpretation as absolute fact, given the information at the time.

Guy skipped a lot of the scientific method due to his arrogance.

>>1011414
While Galileo was a huge dick who basically got into a dick waving contest with the most powerful organization in Europe, the papacy was guilty of forcing Galileo to denounce Copernicanism as heresy.

It's a striking incident when the Catholic Church had previously been more open about such things in the past, during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, despite that being when Aristotelian became accepted Dogma.

The Catholics felt forced into becoming more antiscience because of Protestant criticisms.

It was a bad time for progress.

Josephus described the scene:

As the legions charged in, neither persuasion nor threat could check their impetuosity: passion alone was in command. Crowded together around the entrances many were trampled by their friends, many fell among the still hot and smoking ruins of the colonnades and died as miserably as the defeated. As they neared the Sanctuary they pretended not even to hear Caesar's commands and urged the men in front to throw in more firebrands. The partisans were no longer in a position to help; everywhere was slaughter and flight. Most of the victims were peaceful citizens, weak and unarmed, butchered wherever they were caught. Round the Altar the heaps of corpses grew higher and higher, while down the Sanctuary steps poured a river of blood and the bodies of those killed at the top slithered to the bottom.

Josephus had acted as a mediator for the Romans and, when negotiations failed, witnessed the siege and aftermath. He wrote:

Now as soon as the army had no more people to slay or to plunder, because there remained none to be the objects of their fury (for they would not have spared any, had there remained any other work to be done), [Titus] Caesar gave orders that they should now demolish the entire city and Temple, but should leave as many of the towers standing as they were of the greatest eminence; that is, Phasaelus, and Hippicus, and Mariamne; and so much of the wall enclosed the city on the west side. This wall was spared, in order to afford a camp for such as were to lie in garrison [in the Upper City], as were the towers [the three forts] also spared, in order to demonstrate to posterity what kind of city it was, and how well fortified, which the Roman valor had subdued; but for all the rest of the wall [surrounding Jerusalem], it was so thoroughly laid even with the ground by those that dug it up to the foundation, that there was left nothing to make those that came thither believe it [Jerusalem] had ever been inhabited. This was the end which Jerusalem came to by the madness of those that were for innovations; a city otherwise of great magnificence, and of mighty fame among all mankind.

And truly, the very view itself was a melancholy thing; for those places which were adorned with trees and pleasant gardens, were now become desolate country every way, and its trees were all cut down. Nor could any foreigner that had formerly seen Judaea and the most beautiful suburbs of the city, and now saw it as a desert, but lament and mourn sadly at so great a change. For the war had laid all signs of beauty quite waste. Nor had anyone who had known the place before, had come on a sudden to it now, would he have known it again. But though he [a foreigner] were at the city itself, yet would he have inquired for it.

Interesting.

You often see popular depictions of legions being mechanized war robots advancing steadily and slowly. But here they're just angry as fuck and charging

Oops. I meant the Nazis.

They probably would've betrayed him and surrendered to the brits/americans.

The darker ones are the indigenous peoples, the lighter ones are Celtic/Norse/British

The ones that look like Colin Farrell are descendants of the original Iberian population the other ones are descendant from a later Germanic-Celtic population which supplanted the native darker ones.

4chan is never created.

Or the Bronze Age Collapse never takes place. That would have some of the biggest effect I think. All the languages would be different, Western and Eastern culture as we know it wouldn't exist. Technology would probably be radically different too.

French arms, french ships, a french European distraction, and an ocean limiting response time.

I spend time dreaming about being a well to do during Le Belle Epoque.

How about Martin of Tours who called down angels hold back a crowd of rustic pagan scum so he could burn down their temple. And then they all saw the glory of God and praised him. well until like most early converts they held onto old superstitions and other idols that hadn't been destroyed by the local saint in the making. post-Constantine Christianity is full of this shit desu. christianity is of meek and mild Jesus indeed

A better one is Saint Guinefort. He's literally a dog that a nobleman left to look after his newborn while he hunted. When he came back the crib was flipped over and the dog was covered in blood, wagging his tale. The noble killed the dog only to pick up the crib to find his baby, unharmed, next to a dead snake. Despite the Vatican's efforts to purge this cult people still venerate Guinefort until the 1930s

Marius held too much power, and wanted even more. Sulla just wanted his army from his consulate.

>>1015497
Yep. This is something that so many people don't seem to get. Rome was completely in the hands of traitors who had usurped her legal government, with all power in the city extralegally resting in the hands of two men, one a tribune of the plebs (Sulpicius Rufus) and the other a mere private citizen (Marius).

What should Sulla have done, let command over to Marius and allowed himself to be exiled or massacred by Marius and his supporters, as so many others were? Fuck that. Sulla fought with Rome's fighting men against Marius and his slaves and hired ex-gladiators to take back the city.

>>1015487
Well, Marius wanted Rome for himself when Sulla tried to heal a decadent Republican regime. Sulla was a man from the past, when Marius understood the future of Rome.
#TeamSulla tho, I admire what he did for Rome and his sacrifice.

Because as a historical figure he probably did not exist, and even if he did he was such an unimportant personage in his own time as to warrant zero record even in the relatively advanced recordkeeping Roman Empire. He was as known worldwide as a random ISIL organizer was today to put it in context.
