You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart...
Are ancient egyptian women overrated because of circumstances? What if the remains of, say, Nefertiti were to be found in Xin Zhui's condition?
>>3370377
I think ancient Egypt is still a lot more mysterious and esoteric than ancient China, tbqh.
>>3370390
>mysterious
Do you mean egyptians couldn't record all their history back then? Agree.
You mean "overrated" in terms of how sexually attractive they were? What are you talking about?
Did the United States ever have a chance to annex Baja Californina?
By the end of the Mexican-American War, the U.S. could've taken large portions of Mexico's land. But the U.S. gov decided to only take what they did because they didn't want clay with lots of brown people on it.
>>3369758
There was an all-Mexico movement so Baja was definitely on the table.
>>3369817
Actually they wanted more, but the ambassador to Mexico just happened to be a No Territory northerner who sympathized with Mexico and didn't agree with the war. He forced through a softer peace than he had been instructed to, and then quickly cabled home publicizing what the deal had been before authorities could reprimand him for going against orders.
USA ended up with basically all of the oil anyways.
Is Orthodox Judaism the hardest religion to practice properly?
>>3369754
basically, but some religions like worshiping greek gods or demons can get you killed or put you in a mental asylum. So those might be counted as harder to be devout in.
No, that would be Jainism.
>>3369779
where you act like a pansy? Im pretty sure every vegan in montreal would be conisdered a jain if they lived there
How much slack can you reasonably give the WW1 generals for their fuckups in trying to adapt to the new form of warfare the war brought?
Let's ignore that they would have had an idea what would've happened if they took seriously the Russo-Japanese War as that was the prototype for machinegun vs machinegun warfare. Early on they were still trying to fight a 19th century war and people got fragged left and right as a result. So you need to give them some time to figure out how to fight differently. But at one point, after how many months/years can you say they weren't learning fast enough?
>>3369687
>it's as easy to predict near future as look back to history.
>>3369687
There were generals who were stupid and bull-headed on the tactical side (looking at you, Britain) but on the strategic level there was nothing else that could've been done.
The scope of mass society had (and still has) turned war into a sort of prisoner's dilemma. When powers were mobilising modern, professional armies in the millions or even tens of millions, on a national level, countries had to meet parity just to defend themselves and play the game at all. Bar an extreme lopsidedness in the quality of command it was impossible to force a quick, bloodless victory under these conditions. There were no mechanised units and the tank arrived late in the war and was too immature to prove of any serious use.
All powers at the time recognised this to a degree and that was why there was such an impetus towards finding some sort of technology that might break the deadlock. Air power might have proven a strong candidate, but the zeppelins proved militarily inconclusive and for the most part only served to turn public opinion in Britain against Germany. Chemical weapons had a similar effect. The whole situation in WWI was an unfortunate accident of time and logistics.
Please someone maybe can translate. What it says?
It says חרת/חרח ארכי as far as I can tell which meams absolutely nothingl
The letters on the outside ring are meaningless too. Maybe Yiddish?
The middle triangles have names in them- Yoel in top triangle
Rachel in bottom triangle
Alcael (?) and Yadda(?) on the top side of top triangle
Achiam and Marbachiel (?) on bottom side of bottom triangle

Forgot to mention one of the words is a singular "sheep" but that's it.

How did you react when you found out the greatest military leader of medieval europe was unironically an albanian?

Đurađ Katriotić was a pure blooded Croat.

His is not /int/ if you want to bash on Balkanlars you can go to the appropriate general over there.
What does /his/ think about critical theory? When ever I read about it it sounds interesting but I usually don't agree when it is applied to sociology.
>>3369486
It's infantile. Yes, it's important to question our own convictions. No, it's not useful to ONLY criticize, especially in such a completely one-sided way. If your premise is "Western culture is evildumb", then guess what? You'll conclude that Western culture is evildumb.
>>3369486
Deconstructing the social norms and values that bind a culture together is evil
>>3369501
Well that's nonsense, it IS valuable to think about the things we take for granted. What's "evil" is how one-sided their approach is, they criticize the West and ONLY the West, and then conclude that all the other cultures in the world-- that they have spent zero time studying-- must be better than the West because gosh, look at all this criticism of the West!
A group of 15 or so libertarians are in a massive building together.
The building contains all of the basics needed to live comfortably such as beds, a kitchen that restocks with food every day, gym, entertainment, etc. all for free.
The only rule is that none are allowed to ever leave the facility for the rest of their lives unless they murder all the other occupants.
How does this scenario end?
>>3369165
they divide up the shit then kill each other to get the stuff they were so adamant was personal property
also ayn rand is a stupid bitch who can't write an argument for shit
Sounds like a scenario for gay porn.
>>3369165
Probably the same as with anyone else. Obviously killing each other would violate the NAP, so they'd have to live in the building. They would probably come to the conclusion that whoever is imprisoning them there forfeits the right to all the stuff, but none of the prisoners has any more claim to it than any of the others. So assuming there is enough food and beds for everyone, they would probably each choose a bed and agree to own equal shares of everything else. 15 people is a small enough group that you wouldn't really need a system for assigning beds, if two people want the same bed for some reason and don't want to sleep together they can just negotiate about it, e.g. one person agrees to let the other have the bed in exchange for a portion of his food. If there's a limited amount of entertainment and gym equipment, like only one TV, they could rotate who gets to use it each day. Etc.
How Nordic/Celtic/Slavic/Hellenic etc do you have to be to larp and not be known as a dirty we wuzzing kang
Just don't. It isn't possible. Let the historians do their work. Play D&D if you want D&D.
>>3369118
European Traditional religionists should really do in-depth training and consultation with practioners of ATR especially in the Americas and even more so with those who choose to maintain Christianity in their practices because that's the template you'll need to not be Larpers and be practioners.
Most of the odinists and what not are basically wiccans with furs and chainmail.

I think idpol conflicts could be solved by giant orgies of neopagans.
The average peasant probably only worked around 200 days a year. How did the paradigm shift to the 260 days a year for most modern workers?
>>3369116
When you farm your options for work are limited in winter. Not to mention church holidays were required days off
>>3369147
Wouldn't the Church days off have translated into urban industrial work?

Why did they overthrow it? Did the life of the average Russian citizen actually change when it was gone? To me it just seems pointless because essentially all they did was replace an oppressive foreign monarch with a equally oppressive if not worse native monarch
>>3368892
in scenario 1, group A is not in charge. in scenario 2, group A is in charge.
>>3368892
Would you rather be ruled by foreigners or your own people?
>>3368892
It collapsed cause it was unstable. Not cause of peasants. Russian peasants always riot, that's their nature.
