How to destroy the Roman Empire

>tfw haven't read a geography textbook that doesn't begin with "environmental determinism is pure evil"

It's a valid fucking explanation, not a "racist eurocentric discourse".

Based Eratosthenes

Map is actually impressive considering this was more than 2000 years ago.

I think he's a pretty cool guy. eh interprets dreams and doesn't afraid of anything

Indispensable to understanding modern psychology.

I've read pic related. I was introduced to Jung through Joseph Campbell like most I'd assume. I found his theories of the collective unconscious very fascinating and his interpretations of dream and alchemical symbolism has been a godsend in understanding my own dreams

What is the caption of the original OP pic again?

Or pls post.

No, it's completely unecessary. In fact, population decline makes for higher wages and higher standards of living.

My concerns with population growth driven by immigration is where does it stop?

The excuse used to justify it is that population growth for the native population in most Western countries has fallen below the replacement rate since the '60s/'70s. Therefore need young immigrants to work and directly/indirectly support aging populations

But assuming that those young immigrants (or their offspring) assimilate towards Western reproductive norms, and themselves decide they'd much rather have 1-2 kids or no kids at all, what happens then?

Who will we then import to replace aging first/second generation immigrants?

Put your strawman away. Nobody says the Dark Ages never happened, just that it doesn't encompass the entirety of the millenium that is the middle ages. It also needs to be acknowledged that they were largely restricted to Europe; China and elsewhere didn't give a shit about it beyond maybe "damn, where'd that trade go?", and even then there was still the ERE

You must be really ignorant.

>You only had a Western European city of similar population to ancient Rome in London in 1800.

That lie, triggered me; There is Cordoba in the middle ages that shadowed Damascus as the capital of the mankind

In what sense though? Demographics can't be the only factor.

After WWII the US auto industry was in a good position. It got through the war not only unscathed, but strengthened through war production. All of it's rivals were devastated by war, bankrupt or could be bought out (Canada). As such it could dominate through sheer bulk of product. Even so it's leadership still focused on the US market and what would appeal/be profitable there: big cars with big powerful engines that needed to be replaced every four years on average. This also meant that they would keep WWII era equipment in service for a long time as they saw no need to upgrade

But then Germany and Japan recovered and began building their own cars using the most modern technology to produce them in quantity. They were smaller than US cars but had their own advantages (fuel economy, reliability, light weight and similar). They beat US cars in their home markets and made inroads elsewhere, including the US market. The higher ups thought that Americans for a combination of standing preferences and nationalism would keep buying US cars.

Then there were oil shortages and Americans flocked to buy Japanese and German cars. The bubble burst and sales of US cars fell like a brick during the late 70s and 80s, this did nothing for the reputation of US cars btw.

My guess is that their interest in Esperanto, especially for youth, is that learning Esperanto supposedly makes learning Indo-European languages easier in the long run. I don't think they're actually aiming to replace anything.

That said, Esperanto was popular amongst Spanish Anarcho-Syndicalists and even printed fliers in it, and iirc, Mao privately considered Esperanto as a state language but gave that up for simply advancing literacy and writing reform.

We should avoid teaching Esperanto in the West.
China can easily use it as a tool against us.

Not going to happen. Banning a language would be unconstitutional.

The ever memorable and blessed revolution, which swept a thousand years of villainy away in one swift tidal wave of blood — one: a settlement of that hoary debt in the proportion of half a drop of blood for each hogshead of it that had been pressed by slow tortures out of that people in the weary stretch of ten centuries of wrong and shame and misery the like of which was not to be mated but in hell.

There were two Reigns of Terror, if we would but remember it and consider it: the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death on ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the horrors of the minor Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty and heartbreak? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror, which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over, but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

The greatest event in the history of civilization.

Did you know it was because of their Mayan ancestors that those Los Angelean mexicans were able to pass their AP Calcoolus exams with 4s and 5s?

There will be quite a lot of info on English Civil War POWs. Most were housed in churches and cathedrals, giving them opportunity to smash up surviving medieval effigies ano paintings
