History is about "is"es not "oughts." Read Hume.

p.s.: The VWP utterly hegemonised justice in French Indochina and the DRVN and RVN with the exception of the revolution in the RVN until 1968 when the VWP destroyed the revolution's capacity for self-defence more out of incompetence (Giap was on the outer and came in too late to cancel the "general uprising" component) than malice.

Fucking yanks. Learn more about Vietnam itself.

I'd masturbate to Theodora, but I wouldn't touch with two condoms on my junk

>>She never succumbed to these transports; for she often went to a supper at which each one paid his share, with ten or more young men, in the full vigour of their age and practised in debauchery, and would pass the whole night with all of them. When they were all exhausted, she would go to their servants, thirty in number, it may be, and fornicate with each one of them; and yet not even so did she quench her lust. Once she went to the house of some great man, and while the guests were drinking pulled up her clothes on the edge of the couch and did not blush to exhibit her wantonness without reserve. Though she received the male in three orifices she nevertheless complained of Nature for not having made the passage of her breasts wider, that she might contrive a new form of coition in that part of her person also.

>>She frequently became pregnant, but as she employed all known remedies without delay, she promptly procured abortion. Often, even on the stage, she stripped before the eyes of all the people, and stood naked in their midst, wearing only a girdle about her private parts and groin; not because she had any modesty about showing that also to the people, but because no one was allowed to go on the stage without a girdle about those parts. In this attitude she would throw herself down on the floor, and lie on her back. Slaves, whose duty it was, would then pour grains of barley upon her girdle, which trained geese would then pick up with their beaks one by one and eat. She did not blush or rise up, but appeared to glory in this performance; for she was not only without shame, but especially fond of encouraging others to be shameless, and often would strip naked in the midst of the actors, and swing herself backwards and forwards, explaining to those who had already enjoyed her and those who had not, the peculiar excellences of that exercise.

Saint Benedict.

We know the pope will be deified in a hundred years, so it is best to start praying to him now.

Probably Aquinas as I really like his writings.

Thomas Aquin. He was analytical and he loved food, what's not to like? Also, I love Dominican habits.

>Parts of Africa had wealthy, organized, and technologically decent empires. I would even argue that Europe only surpassed them around the 1500s or so
Fixed that for you.

A great deal of Africa simply isn't conducive to the natural spread of civilization.

Part 2:
>To the Crusaders they were taking up arms to protect Christ and his Kingdom

I'm surprised he didn't mention the Crusaders also took up arms as a way to ensure their own salvation, as Green just mentioned it minutes before. The Crusaders were mainly noble men, who were well aware their secular duties of war and attaining wealth was in contrast to what Jesus' preached. They were afraid of the after life, and saw the Crusades as a way to earn pennence for their sins. Guibert of Nogent wrote this:

“God has instituted in our time holy wars so that the order of knights might find a new way of gaining salvation. And so they are not forced to abandon secular affairs completely by choosing the monastic life, or any religious profession as used to be the custom, but can attain some measure of God's grace while persuing their own careers.

>The Crusaders were mainly noble men
Mainly led, most were soldiers or the general poor rabble. At least as far as the first crusade goes.

>>40402
I remember in high school we had to refer to the crusaders as the "pale horde" when giving presentations on this.

Diogenes is literally us

What would Europe be if not for colonization of the Americas? It'd continue to batter itself into poverty and strife, as well as keep an entire collection of cultures isolated from the exchange of ideas (and a few diseases that killed hundreds of thousands) that we value today.

I think colonization was what Europe needed. I'm sorry for the NAs, but nations do what they gotta do to survive. They shouldn't be begrudged it.

Generally good for some, bad for most at the time. But good for people today, due to increased globalization

Foucalt was only ever loosely connected to actual historical scholarship. Most of it was historical philosophy AKA sparse on actual empirical evidence and chock full of opinions and assumptions.

Do you think the Sumerians had memes? There's examples of wit from Greeks, Romans, and a bit from Babylonians and Carthaginians. There any Sumerians with a sense of humor?

Also, is there a difference between Sumer and Sumeria?
