That is it. That is what over 2 thousand years of philosophy has brought us to. This is the end product of the greatest minds in history.

This is when science takes over and turns us into living gods

They colonized most of the Mediterranean, created Carthage, had the first democracy in the world and spread the alphabet, why are they so unknown to Merryfats?
They also helped building the temple of Salomon among many other things.
What gives?

The (((Bible))) says it was an evil society.
I mean Jews wouldn't lie would they?

Why does it say it was evil?
Also lol, I wonder why you don't like the bible with those digits
Is individualism a uniquely Occidental value?
>>3086504
so lovely
>>3086504
Individualism is a civilizational disease
Individuality is the same as valuing defection.
Defection leads to little reproductive fitness.

Is it easier to work against your enemy from the beginning? Or to rather enter into his confidences, and then strike when you are vital to his security and know his weaknesses?

Italy was more worried about France in the 1880s. Romania made a similar alliance with AH and Germany to counter Russia.
>>3086039
France was both their colonial rival (Italy was cucked in Tunis, Morocco) and political rival after the way the italian unification happened in the late stages (France prevented italian capture of Rome until they themselves were btfo by Germany in 1870 and Italy took the chance to enter Rome).
Basically France was sabotaging Italian efforts to make Italy great again in the Mediterranean.
After from time to time stumbling upon historical events in the history of the United States such as the Whiskey rebellion etc I've decided I want to read as much as I can on the history on this interesting land which I have never visited.
I've read the Federalist Papers now I'd like some more meat on it all.
A great dense and academic history book on the entirety of US history(unti somewhere in the 20th century or some shit) is what i'm looking for, anyone got any good suggestions?
Everytime I try and look for one, 98% of the searches end up with "A People's History of the United States" which is not at all what I am looking for.
No muh evil whitey marxist garbage and no just MURICA FUCK YEAH propaganda.

that graphic is a lovely piece of art calling for war bonds to support the allies in the first world war, and some smarmy git in an graphic design office copies and pastes it into a vandalized tot at some third rate gaming studio a hundred years later,

How would you respond if a person tells you that "money can't buy happiness"?
>>3085589
No, but it does buy you the things you need to be happy, unless you are happy being a homeless bum who survives solely on donated food.
you're right, self fulfillment eludes even the inordinately wealthy
the lamentable state of the human condition is that we will always seek what we cannot obtain

How did the other countries of the world view the American Civil War?
I know Britain and France ran through Yankee blockades to get cotton

>>3085582
I know that the Russian Empire struck a deal with the United States and sent
Its navy to defend Northern ports against the possibility of a raid by the english.
>>3085617
They also pretended to want to invade India to tie the bongs down even more.
>>3085582
Europe was gravely affected by the war due to cotton not coming into the continent. Unemployment in Europe skyrocketed because of the war. That's partly why Britain and France considered siding with the confederacy.

Way ahead of you, mate.
While we're at it, ban Christards from /his/. They legitimately drag the quality of discourse into the gutter, especially in religious discussion.
What did Dark Ages/Post-Roman Britain look like? What were the population densities of different regions, how closely were villages spaced, where was the wilderness? How quickly did Romano-British culture fade or morph with Constantine's military withdrawal? What did people look like, what did the military garb look like? It's a period that looks very fascinating but one that I know little about.
>>3083233
Sorry but I dont really want to type all of that out. Look into bede, he is probably the best English scholar close to the time youre thinking of
>>3083233
>>3083233
Britain was inhabited by Celtic speaking Romano Brits the region was controlled by many different warlords who were weak from defending against the Pictish raiders from the north and Irish pirates to the west. As for population density it was probably depopulated as with the other western roman provinces of Gaul, Hispania, and Italy, Illyria. Saxons shoah'd them by destroying their cities and towns and forcing refugees to move west to Cornwall, Wales, Cumbria, or to the European mainland in Brittany or the top of Asturias in Spain.

How credible are the arguments against the fact that it happened?
Incredible
>>3081356
The fact that it happened is beyond question. Some of the details (like HOW the people were killed) are disputable.
>>3081356
It happened. Holocaust denial isn't real scholarship.
