How possible would it have been for Ireland to defend against invaders or even expand if they had got their shit together and United? Were they known for being good fighters or is their only impressive trait being the guys who protected some sort of scripture or knowledge which was burned elsewhere or something?

Not even the first time I've heard this.
I heard the following things worthy of mention:

>Ireland preserved knowledge or writing for places with bigger dicks which helped prevent some sort of disaster
>Ulster kicked ass in the First World War with some dickass rifles

I only know the latter to be widely accepted as true.
Other that, I see very little. Apparently the IRA were a force to be reckoned with at one point.

They arent europeans. They arent even indo-europeans yet. But some of them may be one day, so best mention it!

>proto-proto-proto-indo-europeans of african origin discovered farming

So why exactly do people need a "leader" to guide them and tell them what to do? Can't people think for themselves? Is there a historical reason why this is the case or did evolution just make us that way.

the best way to acquire a skill is to submit to someone's authority
usually a book written by an expert, or a tutor
point is: true authority is natural
ideally those who are best suited to lead should lead
but it's difficult to implement any such system in practice

Why victimless crimes are a thing?
24 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
>>541334
They're poorly defined as "victimless," when in reality, they have victims, its just not obvious to many who see these crimes as only affecting the individual. Consider how illegal drug use is usually defined as a victimless crime. That drug had to come some where and most likely came from an organized crime syndicate who is financed by the drug and who are also associated with other, more major, crimes.
>>
>>541366
Also, illicit drug usage ->loss of self-control -> potential damage to society.
It's very utilitarian, maybe even excessively so.
>>
>>541334
No such thing as a victimless crime, it's an oxymoron

>>541324
It's heavily based on written Church Slavonic language as opposed to spoken dialects due to colonial nature of Russia. First person who laid the foundation for modern Russian language was Lomonosov with his High, Middle and Low styles - modern one started to be developing around Middle style.

Alexander Pushkin is generally considered the first person writing in proper modern Russian language.

Western Slavs are indeed Western. The Czech were associated with HRE since the beginning and later just the Habsburgs alone. Poles went with them and later they irreversibly turned to West thanks to Napoleon.

I don't know what effect it had on European culture and demographics, but considering it killed 2% of the world population, it probably had some effect.

Hey /his/, I've recently developed a pretty strong interest in the late Roman and Byzantine Empires.

My question is at what point did the Byzantine Empire start to cease to be noticeably 'Roman'. I understand that it would have been a process of gradual change, and my haphazard understanding is that Justinian was the last truly Roman Emperor of them. I'm just curious as to how things like the Eastern Roman military evolved from a professional force into the irregular feudal style levies it employed in the Medieval period (if that is in fact correct), how their classical sculptures changed into weirdly proportioned medieval ones, and so on (I also noticed this happened in the late Western Empire, did the artistic skillset just die out?)

After Justinian's death is when the Empire started to become less 'Roman' and more Greek. Though they called themselves Romans till the very end in 1453.
>>
>>540522
I'd say after the Arab invasions. They lost a huge chunk of their territories (Italy and the Balkans had been slipping from their grasp even before), the emperor formally changed the administrative language to Greek, and the legion system essentially disappeared.
>>
>>540623
I agree with this, the reign of Heraclius is the most obvious turning point.

Though the "feudalization" of the army, in the form of the pronoiai and increasing Western influence on arms and tactics, is a much later Komnenid development and was the result of losing much of their traditional recruitment territory in Anatolia to the Turks.

Pretty good, the straw-man arguments from both religious and atheists are annoying. But just how 'new atheists' don't have a good grasp of the actual arguments in favour of God, neither do many christians.
