>Japan is superior to European states since it defeated Mongols while they were at their prime
Not really. Japan fought the Yuan Dynasty. The Mongol Empire was long dead

>Katanas suck anyway.
Al least they have interesting engravings.

katanas are folded over 1000 times minimum, making them so strong and sharp enough to cut through the hardest armour. but also light and fast enough to outmanouevre the opponents

I always look to the cradle of civilization for evidence of slaves. Ancient Egyptian pyramids are evidence of centuries of treating our own proletariat like complete shit.

Social surplus produces class societies, even in gatherer/hunter, fisher, horticultural or herder societies.

Agriculture amplifies this by vastly expanding the productive class and through protein differentiation (military capacity) between the gens/tribes.

However, social surplus is also indicative that post-scarcity has been achieved, which makes the achievement of a post-class society a matter of capacity for human organisation. Sadly, prior to capitalism, no class possessed a culture that was an-ideological because every class had a hypostatised property form within it's own preferred relations of production.

So since about 1790, no we haven't needed a lower class providing all the labour while wealth has concentrated in a certain class only.

Village corvee is more likely than personal slavery in archaic societies, structured through religiously dominated agricultural hydrological projects.

Christianity was a unifying political force that helped Constantine the great preserve the Empire and became a fundamental institution of the Eastern Roman Empire, holding it together during the Islamic invasions.

>>525738
You are dead wrong,

While Constantine tried to use Christianity as a unifying force, the Christians did not acted according to his wish.

For example the Arian Heresy, We know Constantine was frustrated that Christendom was not united. He scolded that Orthodox agreed %99.9 with Arians and they were fighting on trivial matter. They should settle it out and have one unifying Church.It didn't worked that way, rather than settling it down Arius was condemned and Church was divided. One of the many divisions (and even before that you had Donatism)

Church was never ever united, after Constantine you had Chalcedonian,Nestorian,Monophysite controversies which further divided the church. Emperors tried to follow different policies, some tried to persecute them and force them to accept Chalcedonian Orthodoxy this only provoked the other non chalcedonian Christians. Others tried to reconcile with them, but this only pissed off chalcedonian Christians (Pope in Rome esspecially). So it was a damned if you do damned if you don't situation

and due to this Islamic invasions encountered little resistance. Imagine you are a copitc christian:
-Imperial authority which forces you to bow down to Chalcedonian Christianity (i.e. Heresy according your belief)
-Some arab raiders who just leave you be and only tax you.

I'm not saying copts welcomed arabs as their religious liberators. But it was a nice change from having Chalcedonian Christianity showed down your throat.

Probably; who knows.

They had to deal with rebellions and revolts all the time. Are you serious?

The concept of a modern guerrilla war was certainly not around during the time. That's not to say there weren't people doing things a kinned to guerrilla war, such the vast majority of German tribes. But no there was never really a guerrilla war that the Romans had to fight.

And insurgencies? Do you mean political plots? All the fucking time the Roman Empire and her politics were more bloody than her wars.

I can't really say my rabbis have ever talked about the end of times and they don't believe in a literal messanism so yeah you die and then that's it.

Don't jews have an equivalent of the resurrection before the judgement?

Geopolitics

Insufficient recon

Wealth acquisition is not a zero sum game, so many of the evil things done were good for their role in awarding us with hegemony.

>>525032
Because we're the best in the world and everyone looks at us with envy and jealousy. Obviously you'll never admit to our superiority, so you come up with petty reasons to hate us. 'EVIL FAT CAPITALISTS RUINING THE WORLD', but all I hear is the sound of money as my country drains yours of it's usefulness.

Better to be feared than to be loved.

neither do Muslims but you knew this before you made this thread you dumb frog poster

>>524872
because no one ever defended that stance, including mohammed

>>524903
>>524885
Mohammed was a prophet
Jesus was a prophet

>Jesus will come back
Oh no Jesus hasn't come back but there was some other guy who was a prophet and was divine as well

Nah, I agree with you. I'd just love to know who ordered him to do it.

>>524825
Do you have any evidence?

>>524825
You aren't wrong. But he didn't do it of his own accord. He was a Mafia stooge chosen because of his commie past and life in the Soviet Union to look like it was the Russians who ordered it. The Mafia then had Jack Ruby shut him up because Ruby was into debt with them for a shit ton.

Because you are biopower meant to be exploited by your owners.

>after the muslim advance in spain halted the non muslims that had come with them decided to keep going and carved out their own fiefdoms in france. two of those fiefdoms were ruled by powerful jewish tribes and they lasted centuries. they were so brutal that the people living in france had to ask the muslim caliphate in spain for help more than a few times.

I too love worshipping pagan mother goddesses. Going to "venerate" Isis and Guanyin in a bit, wanna join?

Hey fuck, Merry Christmas if you use that Calendar you orthodox fuck.

Mary is a giant vagina.

Literally. I like it.

>>524605
Kissing your mother's hand and bowing to her were common in ancient world, it had nothing to do with worship.

>>524622
I don't, I'm Greek Orthodox, but God bless you.

>what is basque

>>524556

So is Basque not Romance? Where does it come from then?

>>524556
This. Albanian too.

It's a language isolate, probably a remnant of pre Indo-European languages spoken in Europe.

illuminati confirmed.

But joke aside, I think that Robespierre realized the boons of people adhering to the higher power eclipsing the governing body, which was simultaneously free of the rampart corruption of the European Christian churches.

Maybe he just wished to realize his deist beliefs into fruition.

Got what was coming to him.
Disgusting principles, just like the European dictators of the 20th century.
