Without reform, yes
In the long run I can't see it lasting super long, even with a federal system

>>327445
This. Nationalism was on the rise. Reforms were "coming" But I feel it was too lite too late. Large scale rebelions would have broken out before. But then again there is too many factors to take into account. A shame such a country did not survive. Imagine how central europe would be today.

Basically this, but there would need to be some sort of spark, If the political situation was stable, its unlikely it would just break apart. But as ethnic tensions rose, yeah an event precipitating a breakup would be inevitable. Ideally I think the breakup would be pic related

Because they weren't expecting Israel to randomly attack them.

Is modern Satanism just a watered down mix of egoism and contrarianism with Satan slapped on the front for extra edge points?

>>327252
ego/hedonism, yes

I would like to know of the history as well, before it became the edge lords wet dream.

Your idea of citizens as individual free subjects is fucking ridiculous. Your father lent you out to a fellow performer at age 8 to be buttfucked and trained in the arts of comedy.

>>326936
How would the world be different if Pig had the ability to learn language. Like they are stil slaughtered for food, but they would cry and beg for mercy ?

>>326962
Is the buttfucking part necessary?

Cattle have been widely domestic all across Africa for thousands of years.

Ancient Aboriginals farmed eels.

Andean peoples relied heavily on the llama.

The native Americans had companion dogs. The Peruvians even bred a hairless dog centuries before European contact.

I don't think eels are Companion animals.

Britian had he biggest empire and navy. It provided air strips all pver the fucking world. There were few points in the world which the RAF could not reach.

Britain also outproduced the other two powers in airplanes, in relation to their population.

Also, it had a vast army thanks to it's colonial empire. Almost inexhaustible resources, if only they could get to britain untouched.

The least significant of those three.

But still one of the four most significant powers involved in the European war. (six if you add the east with China and Japan)

Fought alone for a while in Africa. About half the troops during D-Day were British/Commonwealth. Significant presence in the east. RAF active throughout the war, from beating LW in the BoB to pretty much constant bombing runs against Germany. Also Royal Navy was fine.

It benefited in a way that they have built the strong social state they have now in the aftermath of the war.

100% irrelevant.

He removed Kebab

He was the ruler of Wallachia, which at the time acted as kind of a buffer zone between Europe and the Ottoman empire. That meant he had to constantly fight to keep in power, and stop the Ottomans from taking over Wallachia. He was apparently pretty brutal about that. He also spent most of his childhood in a Turkish prison and was later betrayed by his brother who ended up becoming an Ottoman sympathizer, so he probably hated the Turks enough to have been more cruel than necessary.

That being said, almost every story we have about his cruelty is probably exaggerations. Romanians still regard him as a national hero. Bram Stoker came across his name somehow and thought it was cool, so now everyone tries to tie him into vampire lore.

Epicureanism > Stoicism (the Reddit of its day)

>>326390
I mean, I'm not an authority on his time as a ruler, but I know a lot of the love his because of his Meditations. Which is actually a fantastic philosophical work and makes stoicism really appealing.

Guys, NK seriously isn't that bad(or at least wasn't until the fall of the soviet union square). Stop falling for western memes about it. Not the best place to live, but by far not the worst.

I agree there's a lot of propaganda (which is easy considering the lack of reliable information coming out of DPRK), but don't try to sugarcoat the fact North Korea is a Stalinist dictatorship with some of the tightest forms of social control in the world
Their labour/re-education camps alone are worse than anywhere I can think of

Top hats never would have gone out of fashion.

Also, everyone would probably still be racist, because the europeans would have an interest in keeping public opinion in favor of continuing to subjugate the colonies and maintaining maximum control over them, in order to extract all those resources with impunity, which would be more difficult if the locals begin to get a say in governance, or any respect from the european public.

The european states would probably be forced to become more decentralised, or otherwise eventually fail or lose their colonies. Britain had a plan before WW1 to change administratively into an imperial federation (with britain, canada, australia, new zealand and south africa forming a single parliament)

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

As for tech, it's interesting to think about. We wouldn't have all the war tech that we developed in ww1 and ww2, but at the same time, millions of people would be alive, many of whom may have become artists, scientists, engineers etc.

The russian state likely would have evolved into a constitutional monarchy like britain, as they already had the duma in 1905. So we probably wouldn't see a big rise in communism, and the cold war probably wouldn't have happened.

Japan was already expanding, and it may still threaten America's pacific dominance, so a conflict there is still possible.

Without germany alienating its jewish population and generally fucking up in a big way, it probably would remain the most important nation in science, and the lingua franca of science would be german. In general, there would be multiple lingua francas for different things, rather than just english as we have it now.

Without the spread of communism, its difficult to say what would have happened to china. Perhaps it would reform and integrate with the capitalist powers straight away.

The Ottomans would probably still collapse.

The main powers in 2000 may be Britain, France, Russia, and the US.

Rome was pretty fucking inhabited m8.

They weren't maintained. When buildings aren't maintained, they fall apart.

Additionally they were often used as stone careers for building houses and stuff, yes.

>>326204
But how the roman architecture looks deteriorated if they were inhabited?

WHAT ARE WE?

bump? I was really hoping someone would elaborate on this subject

>>325784
Sure, so if you're looking for a kind of cynical explanation for why so many Arabs converted, one explanation would be that the first Caliphs actually did not encourage conversion that much so that the jizya would be shared among a smaller group. This was one of the differences between the 'Alids and the Ummayads, among many others.

You realize of course that in this timeframe, literally everyone who was an "Arab" lived in Arabia and was part of the earlier conquests, most of which were completed during Muhammad's lifetime. If you're referring to people in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Levant, North Africa, etc. etc. then my answer would be a bit different.

What I would say is that Islam wasn't all that different than many of the ambient beliefs that people already had in many of these places, especially non-orthodox christians and Jews. Even the Arab polytheists had Allah as the master god to be worshipped at the Kaba. This just got rid of them with many of the other facets still there, like throwing the stones etc.

On a more personal but not quite "profitable" level, part of Muhammad's project initially at least was to breakdown the existing tribal hierarchies and increase equality. For that part of the world in the 7th century, there was something to that, even though we don't think of it that way now. Some of his early companions didn't have his status and were forced to go to Ethiopia to avoid persecution and then later joined him in Medina. For others, conversion meant that some of the societal fetters that constrained them would be loosened, especially if they could share in the results of the conquests.

>>325784
A sense of brotherhood and unity in a world where tribal ancestry was extremely important and blood feuds lasted centuries.

What you have to understand is that Islam was essentially a social revolution in Arabia, increasing rights for everyone and demolishing existing social convention. It's been compared to communism by some but that goes too far, but I'd say it had the same sense of calling everyone comrade and shit.
