Mozart was not very popular during his life though. Beethoven achieved a measure of success at least.

Your comparison would have to be about shitty hipster styles of music that caught on 40 years after they were developed.

>Mozart was not very popular during his life though.


bullshit. his fame declined torwards the end though

>>278385
I never said he was unknown or some shit, just that he wasn't the height of popularity like hair metal was. Obviously he was well-liked enough to make a moderate living for most of his life, but he never really reached "superstar" status.

I've heard there's a lot of love for Orthodoxy here. Time for some Vatican domination.

Yes. Those 12k year old cities were not planted there by aliens.

>>279117
>12k year old cities

Which? Gobekli Tepe isn't a city. He even argues that all the cities at that time were flooded by sea level rise and are now 400ft under water and that's why we don't have any significant remains of an ancient civilization.

>Was there an ancient civilization which got wiped out at the end of the last ice age?

Nope

Explain. Because 1870's fighting isn't "Napoleonic."

>>278051

Because the 19th century had relatively few wars in Europe between Great Powers, so a lot of the tactics remained due to inertia and not having battles you could point to and saying "See! It doesn't' work!"

>>278051
Because up until the time of mass production, accurate firearms were expensive as fuck. And you had to be very careful using them.

Most of the people sacrified were captured enemy soldiers m8,death should be expected if you're a soldier, it's not like they fucking kidnapped their own civilians and killed them.

Maybe some did, maybe most, but definitely not all thought it was a good idea. For sure many "Aztecs" didn't sacrifice people, and looked down on sacrifice in general, like the Texcoco state, north of Tenochtitlan, the economic and political capital of the Aztec empire. The Texcocoan had a philosophy against sacrifice, but still allowed animal sacrifices, but were even starting to question that. Their philosophy and cultural gained the admiration and respect of the Spanish, even.

Also, there's another purpose for sacrifice that people tend to overlook, aside from military control, population control. The Mexica, the military power of the Aztec and founders of Tenochtitlan, were somewhat similar to Nazis, in that they believed that they had the divine right to conquer Mexico and eventually the world, that they were chosen by their God to rule being the best race, and that everyone else must pay tribute to their empire. At least, that's what some of the people in power in government thought in Tenochtitlan, but even there people disputed their system, just like any state does. Pic related

Just fucking read the Penguin Classic version.

Make sure you have a glossary near you while reading it so you can get the sick mythological references.

הֶאָנֹכִי הָרִיתִי, אֵת כָּל-הָעָם הַזֶּה--אִם-אָנֹכִי, יְלִדְתִּיהוּ

As far as I know, it's the first written instance of the "What am I, your mother?" phenomenon when dealing with perennial complainers.

Crassus and his fondness for silver?

You can't have neoliberalism and a strong labour movement. The rise of one means a decline of the other.

>>277806
Labor unions were trying to kill the idea of capitalism but anticapitalists wouldn't be caught dead doing hard labor, so it just kind of petered out. Besides, you have to pay them money just to be a part of it and if you're not they just look down on you for not being active in the community

Because unions reached their goal long ago but have since grown into bloated monstrosities

Economic prosperity and military victory

REGARDING "ECONOMIC PROSPERITY", MAPS ARE NOT REQUISITE, NOR NECESSARY AT ALL.

REGARDING "MILITARY VICTORY", MAPS ARE MERELY A MODEL, SO TOPOGRAPHICAL ACCURACY, AND GEOGRAPHICAL ACCURACY, ARE RELEVANT ONLY TO THE LOGISTIC, AND TACTICAL, ASPECTS OF WARFARE, BUT NOT SO MUCH FOR STRATEGY, OR GEOPOLITICS.

Quite frankly I think they would have balkanized within a decade had they won anyways. Davis had to enact some very federal shit to keep the war effort together, and once all was said and done this would rankle within the states. Probably Texas would go first, and then soon the rest would fall into bickering nation-states.

>>277618
I'm thinking a loose, autonomous "confederation" that may not have even fully supported each other in wars. But you're right Texas would just be like, fuck this shit and leave.

I have a theory that unity is always preferable. If you wanted to troll, you could argue the Mongol occupation of Asia was "good" because he maintained the silk roads. See, there's always advantages to unity.

>>277711
Sure, but there's disadvantages too. The problem with a big centralized power is that if the center gets fucked up the whole thing falls to pieces. See the Mongol Empire, which splintered once the Kahn died.

wow, I can tell this is going to be a great thread

>>277391
It's a philosophy thread, its a legitimate thread and clearly influenced by Nietzsche in parts.

Why you mad tho?

>>277402
Namedropping a philosopher in your second post doesn't make your thread a philosophy thread.

Carthage was a fascinating counter-pole of Rome

After destruction of this city Maghreb became a periphery
