They ruled hegemonically, meaning that the regions under their control were relatively autonomous. This kept the cost of administration low and maximized the efficiency of taxation, because the locals felt more comfortable living under the control of their own lord. All tribute was centralized in the Valley of Mexico and the capital, Tenochtitlan, making it one of the most densely populated and richest regions on earth.

Still, since no horses were available, the furthest food-tributing region was located only 300 km from Tenochtitlan, which is the distance between Genoa and Venice.
Additionally, the logistics reports suggest that this food was likely sent to the Aztec garrison in Oaxaca instead.

Fourth Crusade?

>>832536
Are you fucking kidding me?
Does the Carthaginian symbol remind you of a fucking Crusade?
Please tell me you're joking...

Sure am. I miss the days before pawn shops and aliens.

growing up I would watch the shit out of modern marvels and there'd always be a good documentary on after and its like all I would watch

>>881962
I don't understand why Pawn Stars is viewed as something that doesn't belong on the History Channel
It has historic items and shit

>What are the philosophical virtues of Anarchism?

It assumes that people are basically decent and rational, and treats them accordingly.

>What are the philosophical arguments against it?

It assumes that people are basically decent and rational, but they're not.

The biggest argument I can think of against it is that any functioning social organization a group of anarchists create will be a pseudo-state. It all comes down to a few simple concerns.

1. Large numbers of people living together means some people's wills being denied for the benefit of other wills.

2. A fully voluntary society will be rendered redundant by any population growth whatsofreaking ever.

Even if everyone signs on and says "This is the kind of social organization I want", you'll have people in 100 years saying "I didn't sign shit"

The closest thing to a functioning anarchist society would be a series of communes whose only punishment for serious crime is banishment, and ignoring the massive reasons that would suck, I'm convinced any working arrangement set up in such a manner would be effectively identical to a state.

The question isn't whether the state is desirable, its whether its inevitable.

More than /pol/ does.

People misunderstand logical fallacies often, especially ad hominem, no true scotsman and appeal to nature.

am I to agree with the existence of these fallacies or the unwritten consensus not to commit them

The Catholic Church is and always has been an abomination.

The Pope does well when he grants remission to souls, not by the power of the keys (which he does not possess), but by way of intercession.

Wasn't their total number of people killed like 5,000 over a 400 year stretch?

No. Not being able to to handle critisism is autistic

>>880297

No, it was constipation.

>>880287

What kind of person is inclined to make jokes, banter, etc?

A normal person.

Protestants are basically culturally autistic, hence the uptightness and regimented thinking patterns.

He got Henrys baby-like tantrum personality right except Henry was no sexy ladies man.

>>880234
He was considered a sexy ladies man in his youth. Then he had that accident that fucked up his leg and started getting fatter and crazier and having people murdered.

Wolf Hall

I'm British and thus our head of states are relatively powerless, but King George VI was pretty based. He got over his stutter and kept up morale in WW2, picked up the slack from his shitty older brother, and had a good film made about it 70 years later

There's alot of great leaders to pick from, but I'll go for one who did actually not lead in Denmark ever. But Rollo became Duke of Normandie( land of the northmen). Given by by the French to stop them from sacking them over and over again. Great Great Grandfather to William of Normandie(The Conqurer). Hence the start of the bloodline that still to this day rule commonwealth as Monarch. As Victoria was know as the Grandmother of Europe and King Chrsitian IX of Denmark father-in-law of Europe this makes virtually every single Royal Ruler of Europe of Danish bloodline

A computer defeating a 9p (9-dan) is a really big deal.

A 9p defeating AlphaGo is a big deal for the 9p, but us mortals can't really understand how big a deal it is.

None of this has anything to do with whether or not AI is impossible. I'm an intelligence, but I'm only 5k.

steppe niggers

Steppe peoples. I haven't heard a different or more specific term used.

They were basically a melange of ethnicities which were grouped more by language then anything else.

>>879291
Pretty much.

Most just use the more PC "steppe peoples," though.

Yes.
