German inferiority complex

Eternal kraut love to ruined everything

Funny fact

Poland's territory is increased everytime Germany waged a war.

humans created -> eat from tree of knowledge -> ingest sin -> live in sin -> jesus born as human, with image of sin -> died on cross, resurrected and ascended to heaven -> you are granted salvation and rescue from sin if you believe in jesus -> ensure you return to god after second coming of jesus

Speaking of Easter not making any sense

>Jesus is crucufied on Friday
>returns after 'three days' on Sunday
Christians in charge of counting.

Turning water into wine, cursing fig trees, appearing on toasts.

Nice omnipotent god.

Financial for one. Less obvious is that of food in the practice of fasting. What's your angle OP?

Ever heard of Jesus Christ?

I'm not really studied up on the subject, but I'm 95% sure that Halal isn't animal sacrifice, it's just a way you have to kill the animal to fulfill dietary requirements, similar to how Jews remove all the blood out of the animals they eat for meat.

A proper Reconstruction would've fixed everything.

I am a resident of North Carolina. To this day, if you whisper, "Sherman is coming." in your local grocer, people will flock to the bread and milk isles.

That reminds me, does anyone have that photo of a bronze age burial where there was a golden cock sheath ?

I stopped playing when they implemented the shattered retreat garbage, but I did have a rather interesting playthrough shortly before.

>Be Venice
>Swear fealty to worst Rome
>Expand wares throughout the entire Mediterranean for a couple of centuries, crushing rival republics while I'm at it
>Fund civil wars constantly so I can wage my trade wars
>Through a careful mix of strategic marriages and assassinations, put my grandson on the throne
>Naturally the empire explodes again, declare independence
>Betray grandson, leave him in the wreckage
>Opportunistic Muslim caliphate starts conquering the warring nobles, before exploding due to degeneracy
>Sit back and watch the fire
>Swoop in after it's all over and conquer myself most of Anatolia and the Levant

It was pretty fun.

I don't particularly mind shattered retreat - why the hate for it? If anything, it benefits me: the enemy army disperses very far away, and I am free to lay siege to their territory without interference.

>>882484
Can't chase down large armies, so in most situations my doomstack dies to attrition while the enemy takes almost no losses. They then come back with their army to crush whatever is left of my troops. It's particularly bad with adventurers, because while their 30k stack is running aimlessly around the country, your army is costing you upkeep and angering your vassals.

It's unrealistic, if anything, shattered retreat should be an uncommon occurrence that allows me to just run down the enemy, not watch them run about taking no attrition while I am unable to attack them.

You know how some cunts in Post World War 1 referred to the treaty of Versailles as an armistice? Precisely they were thinking that there would be Part 2.

Though it was rather highly likely given how
1) People (like in Germany) thought that Versailles was harsh.
2) People (like in France) thought Germany wasn't destroyed enough.

And turned out they were right.

What separates WWII predictors and WIII "predictions" is that WWII had the benefit of a shitty peace going for them while WWIII doesn't.

Instead, we got nuclear weapons and the emergence of a globalized economy.

>>922915
>This is not peace. It is an armistice for twenty years

Also before WWI people expected a big european war eventually but I don't think anybody really imagined that it would be on the scale that it was. Bismarck even said that if a great European war happened, it would start with "some damn foolish thing in the Balkans."

>>923355
That'll never happen. The economies of Europe are so connected that if one nation were to wage war on another great damage would befall the attacker. Just as it would the attacked.

They translated Aristotle into Latin so the greek illiterate yuropoors could read him. This one act is responsible for the rennisance and enlightenment in Europe. If you read any major treatise of the periods, they respond directly to Aristotle's theories.

>>922892
It isn't a myth but due to just how fucking long the time period was we really don't know how exact anything was.

What we DO know was that much of the muslim world had a strong intellectual tradition that led to those places becoming safe havens for pretty much everybody who needed a safe haven. This tradition was later echoed in the modern Ottoman Empire's high level of tolerance and acceptance towards outsiders.

We also know that the crusaders' experiencing of then-superior Muslim culture was a minor factor in kickstarting the renaissance, as it disenfranchised many of the wealthy Europeans who bankrolled by the Crusades with European lifestyle.

>>922892
While the Dark Ages is a myth, the Islamic Golden Age and its intellectuals was part of the some proto-"republic of letters" that stretched from Medieval Europe to Islamic East in which scholarly cunts regularly took copies of each other's works/translations and built from there.

People tend to underestimate how interconnected intellectuals were, thinking that everyone was like some medieval peasant tied to the land.

Muslim Scholars regularly got Latinshit from Medieval Scholars while in turn Medieval Scholars got Greekshit from Muslims. The exchange was even higher during the crusades.

Creating a universe is the endgame for any intelligent race for two reasons:
1. At that point the race has become a creator god
2. By creating life with emotions and will to power you perform the ultimate good and the ultimate evil; no matter what good and evil are, you create all of each when you make a universe.
