What happened to Britain after the Romans left? Why did the Island go from Romano-British to Anglo-Saxon?
>>703300
Britain experienced a series of migrations/invasions in the centuries following the Roman retreat. The Angles, Normans, Vikings, etc. all had their turn raping and pillaging the land. However, native Britons are probably still the majority ethnic group in the isles. The invasions had more cultural, rather than genetic, implications.

this
the romano-british were basically dissipated through a series of barbarian pillages without the legions to protect their way of life in comparison to the native britons.

But that's wrong
I'm starting to learn about the history of the Roman Empire but at the moment I don't really know where to start
I know the basics e.g. kingdom->republic->empire, the story of Julius Caesar, Constantine and the split etc, but besides that I am relatively ignorant
tl;dr explain Roman history to me like I'm five
>>701569
I'm trying to learn about the Romans too, can anyone recommend any books the gives a good overview before I study in greater detail?
>>701569
you seem to already have roman history as a five year old could retell it under your arm, what more do you want you greedy shitbag
go read about the punic wars or something

Can we talk about modern Macedonia, seeing how its independence was about 25 years ago?
I am interested in the origin of the Macedonian people and nation, and that one is sure to be further in the past than the official country anyway.
>>742589
Well, after the WW2, Yugoslavia started to promote the idea of the uniqueness of the macedonian people and remove any bulgarian self-determination.
Although the said self-determination somewhat became diminished after the second balkan war and the ww 1.
As genetics go, the today macedonians are mainly of slavic descent mixed with what was left of the original population before 6th century.
As of today, they try to define themselves by separating from their neighbors as they are considered a thread to the macedonian identity.

If he didn't make history, then it would have been weird. But the guy was set up for success at every level.
Better military figures by far are the self made men. Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, Hannibal, Napoleon. All that Alexander did was reap the fruits of his father's sow.
OP mad he will never ever accomplish anything or be written about in any history except maybe the newspaper for being arrested for possession of anime porn.

>Julius Caesar
Here, let me ruin your fun. Julius Caesar was good at two things. The first is being a political mastermind, and the second is getting fucked in the ass by a Barbarian King. Every single one of Caesars conquests in Gaul was masterminded by Titus Labienus. And he was set from youth.

Plantinga's ontological argument for the existence of God says,
>It's logically consistent to say that it's possible for God to exist.
>If God can exist, he exists in some possible worlds.
>God is a great and necessary being, it is greater for him to exist in all possible worlds
>God exists in all possible worlds
>The actual world, the one we live in, is a possible world
Conclusion: God exists in the actual world.
My first criticism would be that, God's existence is not logically consistent.
But it's not logically consistent in the actual world so, Could God's existence be logically consistent in another possible world, therefore proving that God can exists in some but not all, possible worlds?
>>738320
>My first criticism would be that, God's existence is not logically consistent.
I think his point is that it's logically consistent to say it's possible for God to exist, and it is since you basically can't prove the opposite conclusion, with neither conclusion being provable, both mush be possible. Where he falls apart is
>God is a great and necessary being, it is greater for him to exist in all possible worlds
This is an unverified statement, he hasn't proven in any capacity that God is either 'great' or necessary', nor explained why this would mean he exists in all possible worlds/realities.
It's also logically consistent to say that it's possible for Antigod, the God who killed Yahweh right after he made the universe, took his place and put Satan in charge of the world to exist
Possibility doesn't really mean a whole lot in a world that can only be perceived through a fallible mind
>>738349
>logically consistent to say it's possible for God to exist
What if God is a logical contradiction? Is it possible to say he exists then? I believe all definitions used by believers are, but are there any that aren't contradictory?
>great or necessary
He says that if God is the greatest being, then he should be necessary as being necessary is greater than being contingent.
What truth is there in "White Man's Burden"?
In regards to both humanities and history
>>737580
Anti European non sense created by Jews.
>>737580
To me it's sort of true. Take a look on how's nowadays world and you can still see how most of the world is full of barbarism craving people. i.e. China, India, the middle east, Japan, ... the whole Asia. Cultured barbarians do not count as civilized people.
>>737580
"Truth" in what sense?
Are Stirner and Evola the final bosses of philosophy? I loathe spookposters as much as the next guy, I really do, and I'm definitely not saying everything is meaningless except for muh ego, but what I am saying is that it is absolutely undeniable that all that we really have in this life is our Being/Ego. And to put anything over it at your expense is retarded. Think the distinction between embodying God vs. the torturous, life-denying mortification of your Will.
Where do we go from here? Stirner stops at the Ego, Evola goes all the way to its transcendent origin. Is philosophy, at least its more practical branch, over? What else is there but a refinement of details?
Philosophers are hacks.
>>736162
Evola is pretty good and really cuts this metaphysical level or this sense of thought that has almost never existed in American society and is absent in Western thought today.
Also Spengler is pretty good as well.
>>736162
You can add Nietzche too since everything you mentioned from Evola is based off his work.
And what you described is the stepping stone into post-modernism. If the Ego is the ultimate reality than the logic conclusion is to start deconstructing all them spooks, figure out who's ego they are serving, and what makes them tick.
But the task of post-modernism despooking is already over. We are sort of waiting around for the next big thing. That's why the state of philosophy is utter shit because we are still waiting for the guys who succeed Baudrillard and Foucault. Everyone that actually knows what's going on is kind of stuck about where to go.
Than you have people like Harris who never bothered studying philosophy and just scribble on paper.
Has a civilization in history ever honored (as a tradition) the enemy soldiers they've slain? As in, performing rituals or ceremonies for the deceased.

In recent history Turks did that for Anzac while fighting in Gallipoli Campaign. Which is one of the reasons why Turkey didn't have problems with Australia afterwards.

Byzantine empire evolved into Ottoman empire and became greater than ever, so why would anyone ever dislike the Ottoman empire?
Disregard """"genocide"""" when giving your answer.

Because most people in the West associate Byzantines with "us" whereas the Ottomans are "them".
Basically it's a christian/white identity defense mechanism.
