I do not fear death at all. I have uncertainties about it, but I am fine with dying. I just fear the way I am going to die is all.

I worry for what's going to happen to other people who don't have faith. I don't want to see otherwise good people not receiving a reward after death.

I'm not worried about my reward, I'm worried about other people.

I've always wanted to see how battles from just about every era looked, because I'm not inclined to believe that it looks anything like my Total War games.

Anything from the Civil War back really. Would also just love to see the sights, Babylon would be my first stop.

That leap didn't really go as planned, did it?

he was a pretty good revolutionary leader
except when it came to economic development, industrialism, and non oppressive communism

Knew his way around guerrilla warfare. Everything else? Not so much.

Xiaoping unfucked China.

The Sator Square can be found in various roman ruins throughout Europe. Seems like a meme to me

Before anything else, you ought to know that the theory of social degeneration is deeply flawed and have pretty much been abandoned in all fields of the social sciences for well over a hundred years, for several reasons; these days it's because there's so many sub-cultures popping up everywhere, more than ever before, so it's just plain false to claim civilization is degenerating.

You may want to check up on the wikipedia article. Talking about degeneration is like talking about lamarckism instead of darwinism on /sci/.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degeneration_theory

You need to specify if you mean small-mindedness among the person in question, the group he belongs at, or the society at large.

The actual archaeological evidence suggests a downward trend in the population of Western Europe from 200 AD to 700 AD and a vast decrease in metalworking from 200 to about 1600 AD.

At the same time, the number of people that were literate decreased until it was essentially an exclusively religious thing.

So yeah, when you get fucked that hard, it's hard to go around doing quantum physics and shit.

The society of continental, manorial Europe was comparably different to the commercial, urbanized Europe near the Mediterranean Sea in around the 11th century A.D..

Reminder that Anglos can fully understand what's written on that flag thank to this guy
English, a Germanic language? Lmao

I know who to blame for ruining a beautiful, Germanic language in which everything was pronounced as it was written.

French, not even once.

I don't disagree. But the Brits achieved great things in India and the Far East. Interestingly the redesigned Lahore was modelled after Napoleonic Paris.

To add to this are many cities across the country even today still suffer from the effects of Gentrification? Was the Yuppie culture really to blame or is the lower-working class simply shouldn't be in the city anymore?

>tfw live in Baltimore
>tfw like ten colleges all full of SJW rich white kids
>tfw these kids settle here when they graduate and then cry about the gentrification they're enacting
You fuckers are gonna raise my damn rent with your hypocrisy, and I'm not even a ghetto trog.

Yes.

Yuppie culture caused the working class to move as no one wants to live in and near utter shit. The city might have kicked them out anyway as the yuppies brought in more money, until they needed the lower class to do the hard shit nobody wanted to do as the those yuppies were lazy fucks

Yep, sent the Byzantine Empire into a death spiral that it could not recover from

If they hadn't rebelled against the Latin emperor the empire would have been fine.

I feel like the crusaders on the 4th crusade get a horrible rep on 4chan, if you read Villehardouin's account of the events you can see they just participated in a succession struggle and the dude they put on the throne reneged on their deal because he was such a shitty ruler and couldn't pay what he owed.

Define white people.

Empire is only successful under an incredibly nihilistic, psychotic lens.

I am of the opinion that a high value in culture and social cohesion leads to the strongest civilizations. When everyone is on the same page, you care more about your neighbors and community, and it leads to everyone taking care of each other naturally without the government forcing us to pay for welfare programs for people we are indifferent to. This is why the suburb communities in the U.S. are so successful despite the cultural shortcomings.

Again, just an opinion.

bump for interest

Bump, I need something to read.
