It's a random drawing that comes up when you google "Genghis Khan", m8. There's no source for the original book it was printed in. It's not even a historical portrait, it's some artist's depiction of a Mongol dude.

>Leviathan isn't an example of social contract theory

Seriously? Which dipshit even claim that?

>>562542
A friend who pretty much said it's not social contract because he 'never' referred to his philosophy as social contract theory.

>implying slavery only existed in West Africa

Somalia was one of the biggest slave ports, and richest in Africa, thanks to Muslims bruv

>>561395
They were attacking villages of loosely affiliated Bantu ethnic groups.

>>561385
>When you realize that west Africans were only able to be enslaved en mass because of the fact that there was no state able to enforce fiat of violence on the ground after the Malian Dark Age

Yea some archaeologist said something like this, I'll try to find the video

well actually this is because those regions weren't part of the soviet union during the cold war and the germans tend to be quite industrious

Some is exaggerated history, some is complete fabrication just to tell a story/prove a point.

Thank you

It always seemed to me like myths are stories about real people and events that got way out of hand

>>561279
Interesting

the USA was really, really, really worried the soviets were closely collaborating with workers parties and agitators across LA. They threw money, resources and other forms of assistance at any group with even vaguely similar goals of keeping socialists and communists out of LA. What groups might worry about the rising political power of democratic socialists? Well that's an easy question. Big Business and the rich, entrenched, ruling class. Maybe even some neo-fascists. So while the USA was certainly far too overeager and paranoid, they acted with at the very least tacit approval of other elements of society.

Why is the gdp of latin america so shit? It has clay, capitalism, cheap labor, no civil wars, et cetera. How come its still poor?

>Had there been more direct contact between Han China and Imperial Rome what would have happened to history as we know it?
A few more mildly interesting curios.

>Who would win in a drunken brawl between empires?
Like most drunken brawls, it would be sad, pathetic, and basically amount to both parties failing to achieve anything that could be called fighting, and getting all their friends in trouble.

fuck alternative history

>>560952
Is there something up with that map projection? I thought Europe was smaller than that relative to Asia.

>>560598
But the British don't want Northern Ireland either.

The only reason NI is still in British hands is because the Unionists won't fucking let go and migrate to the U.K. already.

Judging by the popularity of this thread, yes.

Speaking of Chinese religions/philosophies
Was Taoism ever a state religion or enforced offically or was it kind of just there influencing stuff passively?

>pretty much rejected everything Confucianism stood for, which included adhering to elaborate rituals/traditions and tribalism

Into the trash.

>'Consequentialism' as masquerade for gibsmedat.

Trash

>Extensionless deism.

Trash

>believed in universal love

Trash

>strongly was against wars, but was not a pacifist

Yeah you and every other solipsistic goober says that too ('hurr im slow to make friends, but if I do I'll fight to the death for them!' 'Hurr I'm not thing, but I am thing in every situation where you would be thing!')


Entirely unsurprised by how the same garbage beliefs seem to always come in the same packages everywhere in the world.

The enlightenment was a mistake.

>>560408
It changed in France, that's for sure :^)

>>560408
The monarch that was most influenced by Enlightenment ideas (after Frederich arguably) was Catherine the Great. She was not only an avid reader of philosophy but also was a personal friend of Voltaire who spent some time in Russia.
Catherine's Russia was also one of the main powers who took up arms against the Revolutionary regime in France, and hosted many prominent emigres and counter-revolutionary key figures.
You draw your own conclusions from this.

Better question, how to we prevent autists from trying to do philosophy?
