Recommend me some really good and detailed books to read about Romans and Greeks.
Hi guys I've never been here before. I usually only go on /fit/ and /lit/. Lately I've been reading Marcus Aurelius's Meditations and I've been actually applying his thoughts to my life. (Stoicism is the philosophy I needed all along).
Well I see all these references to people he knew that I've never heard of. I started doing some surface level research online and now I'd really like to dive into antiquity and its history and all that. Particularly the early history of Europe, Greeks, Roman Empire, etc. Or just post some good rec charts if there are any that get circulated.
I learn a lot better with actual books so please don't link gay-ass Youtube videos.

I'm reading about all the Irish commandos in the Boer War.
How did all these Irish and American citizens even get to the Boerstaats? The British had isolated the two republics for almost a century prior to the war, so they were completely surrounded by the British.

The entire war was about British demographic shifts because of them trying to get in on the gold fields, lots of Irish and Americans did the same but liked Boers more than they did the British
Has there been in history any situation similar to modern day crypto?

Can anybody give me a rough idea of how Mongols ruled the lands they conquered? I've had this impression that they adopted local political systems wherever they go, therefore the Chinese suffered severe oppression was sort of their own doing, while Russians get to keep their feudalism and so forth

The guy is from the 1600s so I thought I'd ask /his/ since /lit/ mainly seems to focus on literature between the 19th century and now.
But thanks for the suggestion. I might cross-post.

Why did and do Lutherans fall for the physical presence and baptismal regeneration memes?
2 Posts / 1 Images

Because Luther so stressed the literalness of the words of institution (he is known to have autistically scratched "hoc est corpus meum" into the table during a colloquy with the Reformed) that he could admit nothing other than a mechanistic, local AND illocal presence (this would complicate their christology, creating a markedly different doctrine of the Person of Christ that the Reformed thought tended towards the Eutychian heresy).
Same goes for baptism. Luther couldn't see anything other than a mechanistic operation in means of grace, so that (though they say they deny "ex opere operato," they have a very difficult time escaping this language in effect) the rite must always accomplish the same thing in every recipient. This also complicated their application of justification. When spoken about in isolation, their doctrine of justification is identical to the Reformed. But they eventually came to insist that regeneration, and therefore faith and justification is then only received in Baptism, whereas the Reformed insisted that this is possible, but God uses His ordained means the way and to the extent that He wills, and it is possible to have been justified before baptism, or even in the case of unbelievers who receive the outward rite, to fail to be regenerated at all.

What evidence is there actually for the Sinchon Massacre?
Could best Korea's claims even be partially true?
It does seem like something the US military is capable of even if it is exaggerated.

Well, if the Bodo League massacre is real (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodo_League_massacre), I see no reason why the Sinchon Massacre couldn't have been real, although I suspect that probably SK soldiers rather than US soldiers would have been responsible for most of it.

It's sometimes overstated as a criticism of socialism in general. The calculation debate applies mostly to central planning, and not all socialism includes central planning.

Been working on one for university, and I think I have it saying what I want it to say, but I just wanted some outside opinions. Without further ado:
The international legal definition of Genocide are described in Articles 2 and 3 of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide. Article 2 includes two elements of the crime of genocide, a mental element of intention to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group as such, and a physical element further defined in Article 3, of actually attempting to do so. The physical element includes killing members of the group causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
While this definition was created in 1948, with the horrors of the Second World War and accompanying atrocities fresh in the minds of its legislators, it is easy enough to look back and retroactively apply these definitions to other historical actions, such as the Armenian genocide, and to see whether or not they would fit modern sensibilities as such. However, doing so invites many spurious comparisons. Many large scale massacres, while tragic to be sure, are not genocides, and labeling them as such would be inaccurate. These wild comparisons are especially thrown about in the Colombian exchange, and while there probably were genocides contained in them, such as of the Taino people, not all ethnic groups wiped out during said exchange would fall under the category of genocide, for lacking some or all of the mental elements.

In specific, this paper seeks to demonstrate that the destruction of the Aztec Empire, and its components of Mexica culture, Nahuatl language speakers, and teotl worshippers do not constitute a genocide. These Mexican cultures (hereinafter referred to as "M*xican" to avoid offending the sensibilities of the delicate) cannot be considered to be genocidal for failing to meet a critical component in the 1948 genocide definition, despite it not being said. It is perhaps so common and implicitly obvious that nobody ever thought to include it, but it is clear that genocide only applies to humans, and that the Portuguese driven exctinction of the Dodo, or the widespread destruction of the Americans plains buffalo, do not constitute genocides. So to, the M*xicans, not being human, cannot have a genocide applied to them. This paper will demonstrate their lack of human qualities, and therefore how no genocide can be applied to them.
That's it so far. Thoughts?

That's the Turk's argument, for sure. They did not have in their minds the utter elimination of the Armenians.

This should not exist in any uni paper, ever.

If the communists in Spain and Germany (Either the Strasserists or Marxists) had won, the world would have had a western and eastern divide between communism, or maybe referred to as the communisms, plural. Also, with Nazis not considered fascists in this timeline, fascism wouldn't be associated with racism and anti-semitism today. Heck, the right-wing catholic rexists and such might not be considered fascists either since the Axis alliance wouldn't have been a thing like we know it and thus no reasonfor the far right groups to be associated with the 'third-way' fascist groups.
