everything changed when they let the Greek slaves teach their children
I've read so far:
- The Pursuit of the Millennium - Norman Cohn
- Revolutionary Dreams - Richard Stites
- Holy Madness - Adam Zamoyski
Interested in cultural movements, especially foreign (non-European).
>muh degeneracy
When will this meme end?
>>3191078
It already ended, only /pol/ are sperging out their autismo.
>>3191084
I mean, yes, when will the /pol/acks being on /his/ meme end?
>>3191100

if you want serious discussion you will need to go to somewhere like, dare I say it, reddit
Which one is right on our /political nature/?

How do you make this shit last as long as possible?
I don't care, I can finally bang someone
>>3190817
When? Either way, I'd try and learn latin as fast as possible. Also, try and find a way from the USA to Europe
pull out of mesopotamia and trajan's conquests
build nova roma as byzantium
fund trade routes through the red sea, possibly even conquering yemen as an imperial province to find a trade route to india bypassing persia
What interesting/obscure cultures would you recommend I look into?
Thuggee's
Nizari Ismailis (Assassins)
Druze
Alawites
Alevi Shi'a
Samaritans
Hasidic Jews
Cathars/Albigensians
Aghori Sadhus
off the top of my head...

The ottoman culture of comfy coffee drinking and smoking.
hey anons
looking for some good reading material on the the origin of the republic, julius caesar and the decline.
I've heard good things about decline and fall of roman empire, spqr, and tom hollands rubicon?
Also,
Are these good books, and do you have any suggestions?
SPQR will teach you what you want to know. Rubicon focuses on Caesar and the fall of the Republic specifically.
Decline and Fall covers time periods way after the Republic, it's got nothing to do with what you want.

Less of a true history and more of a narrative version of it, starting way before alba longa was founded, but doesn't go into illium/Aeneas at all. Pretty good imo

What if Poland-Lithuania survived and industralized?
It would be extremely powerful.
>>3190668
For who?
>>3190659
How would the do it? Even if it survived, it would probably be still agricultural. King must had done something with nobility, to either allow normal market economy, or start state based industrialization program.
I've taken an interest in religions after reading about the First Cause and personally coming to the conclusion that science will only tapdance around the issue since empiricism cannot tackle the First Cause. What's a good one to pick?
Current beliefs
>A God, but not necessarily a personal one because it wouldn't let so much crazy shit happen on Earth.
Could be nice to believe
>Afterlife
>Personal god
>Interacting with spirits
i'd go with eastern religions personally because they seem to be more peaceful, i mean just look at the shit in the bible for fucks sake!
>personal one because wouldn't let so much crazy shit happen on Earth.
Not necessarily. How could you now, that modern, postchristian ethics could be default for God? Or maybe god is interested in civilizations on other planets and we are just animals.
go more in depth to what you want specifically, there are hundreds of religions in the world which have their own sub-religions
What if Justinian focused of deafening Persia, instead of reconquering Western Roman Empire? Lets say he wanted to be second Alexander.
>>3190613
One does not easily conquer into Persia. All attempts after Alexander, failed.
He still gets his ass blasted by the Plague and has all his work and Belisarius's work come undone
>>3190624
Should also mention that the Ostrogoths remain strong in Italy and would probably fight off the Lombards, which might lead to a Roman revival in the west, considering how meshed with Roman culture they were.
Dear /his/
It seems that our early faith in you was well placed. Thank you for coming to /k/ to spread the Bomber Harris and LeMay memes that so easily trigger the /pol/nigger. You have given us a new weapon in our fight.
For this, you are eternally our nigga.
Ashes for the Anglo,
