Roman or not Roman?
>>3812474fucking revisionist dude
>>3813105>I would personally argue that the end of the Principate ended the "true" Roman Empire and replaced it with a despotic military monarchy that was for a time Roman.By the same reasoning I'd argue that there never was a roman empire at all since the "true" roman state ceased to exists with the disposal of the kings. In its place was created an oligarchical republic that that was for a time roman.
>>3813257I mean those actually look like small pavises, while what Bordudopoulos the Pronoia is holding looks like a mini scutum. Then again the guy on the left on your pic does seem to be carrying one of those.Still, never seen anything like mini scutums before today.

How where mixed European couples seen in 1800-1900’s before ww2? If a German or Englishman married a Polish or Russian woman would they be seen with contemt from the rest of society? With all the wars and nationalism back then I assume it wasn’t easy

>>3813870>t. Also a dutchmanyeah ok anon. sure.
>>3813203They didn't, Slavs aren't mentioned at all in Nuremberg laws. Some pic of an autistic brownshirt mob bullying some whore is hardly an evidence to the contrary.
>>3813878Laat me raden, je bent een 'rassen realist'
Give your best argument has to why negative income tax is better than universal basic income.NIT: any work shif must pay more $ than the state pays someone to do nothing; small businesses can't hire someone, no matter how quick or easy the job is, unless they can beat the state's offer; big businesses have great incentives to lobby to keep the NIT value low enough that their pay is attractive enough to potential workers, but high enough that small businesses can't afford to offer competitive pay; the state must keep tabs on everybody's income.UBI: in the end, working always gets you more $ than not working, UBI isn't something you get for not working enough unlike the NIT, it is something you get on top of the $ you get from working; small businesses can employ anyone that thinks the pay is worth their time, they aren't competing with the state; big businesses have less incentives to lobby for lower UBI (could relive tax burden but would also lower demand for their products because consumers would have less $ to spend) and raising UBI wouldn't push small businesses out of the market (the small businesspersons can put $ from their own UBIs into the paychecks of her employees); the state only needs to keep tabs on who is alive (since that is the only requirement for UBI) and would only have to concern itself with the income of the super-wealthy (who, in theory, could still keep most of their profits as long as there was still enough $ going into the state to pay UBI to everyone).
>>3812438Stop with your distributism meme. It's just a stupid oxymoronic dialectical synthesis or capitalism and socialism that attempts to appease capitalist ideological sensibilities while trying to accomplish what socialism aims to accomplish.There's nothing special about distributism except that it doesn't make sense because it tries to take only the "good" from both ideologies without actually being a coherent system.
>>3812419>What about inflation though?>Implying inflation has non-monetary causes
>>38124191. If needed, and you think 5 years is a good time block, instead of voting on UBI every five years, UBI could be indexed to quinquenal inflation.2. Central bank doesn't need to emit as much money because there is less need to ease debt (you get enough to get by without borrowing) or lowering unemployment by depreciating wages (UBI is supposed to make up for the loss of jobs to automation, after all).What think?
I used to be in favor of UBI, but came to realize it would just be a way to put capitalism on life support.Corporate lobbying would be used to keep the UBI as low as they possibly could, meaning a massive amount of people would still live shitty lives, and be under constant pressure. So, the revolution needs to happen before a UBI is implemented, otherwise it will, honest to god, lead to the eventual undoing of society.
>>3813808Why should someone living under UBI have anything other than a shitty life? As soon as UBI is implemented I'm never going to work ever again, so why should I be expected to have a comfortable life?

>>3813177I am sure it is available on the web somewhere. The title is "King Naresuan", it has turn into a SIX movies series, apparently.Fantastical elements (like European plate armor) aside, Thai movies always have extremely brutal and cool fighting scenes, and in war movies like this, war scenes that are truly epic - like entire ARMY of real elephants charging at each other and blasting cannons on their backs, while the main characters enter single combat on the back of their elephant mount.Plus Thailand being SE Asian, you can find all sort of quirky but actually somewhat historical true elements not found elsewhere - like European fighting on the Thai side, or Thai samurai, or both, or them fighting Chinese for some reason etc.
>>3813730>fighting Chinese for some reasonBecause China always wanted SEAsia but never could
>mfw I study historyIt's cool and all but what kind of job can you even do after that. I wanted to become a history teacher but the market in my country is more than saturated with history teachers. What history and non history related fields of work are an option?
>>3813530>history is a collection of lies we agree to tell each otherconqueror
>>3813530>Anthropology>Archeology>Museum>ArchivingOr do like me, I plan to study further on a more practical field after passing history.
>>3813530I just graduated, going military myself. I want to know the history of the countries that I blow stuff up in.
18 here and most of the colleges that I'm applying to have normie-tier courses.Big grown up /his/ fags please tell me how should I prepare my ass for college-level history studies pls.

>>3811983Guilt mostly All we hear about is “muh slaves”, “muh systemic racism”, “X is racist”
>>3811983Still do, just context matters.People who complain about the lack of blackface are the same kids who got their shit kicked inn by calling some black guy their nigga.
>>3812920>when some guy you know rants to you about not being able to say nigger and being fired and censorship and sjws and pc even though black people can and you wonder why he lacks the self control to not say nigger
>>3812920>>3812963That's not the point. It's that white people used to not care and did that shit all the time. Nobody needed the self control pre-mid 20th century, so why should their descendants need it now?
Soon.
>>3812972Should Mexicans get Arizona just because there's a lot of Mexicans living here nowadays? Back in the day when the US annexed the territory from Mexico there was literally nobody living there aside from a handful of Indians.
>>3813888>Should Mexicans get Arizonano. Right of conquest+ the reality that Mexico is a fucking shithole to the point where even mexican nationalist run away from it to live in America. If Arizona was part of Mexico, then all the mexicans there would be jumping that boarder to get into Colorado or New Mexico
nigger, I came to America to get away from Mexico
>>3812972Not likely.

Is Jesus Christ the coolest guy in history?
>>3812778>That is true but the Stoics failed (miserably)Not in their control. No need to get upset.
He wasn't the coolest guy OP. He was the embodiment of a Chad.
Muhammad Christ a/k/a Jesus Christ is the coolest guy in history.Plato, in the 5th century BC, believed in an immortal soul that participates in frequent incarnations.The major religions that hold a belief in reincarnation are Judaism, Christianity, Islam (Muslim),Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, to name a few. Those which do not will soon.Think. Wait. Fast. Watch.Siddhartha Brahma

Emperor Aurelian perished by the hand of the Praetorian Guard before he could campaign against the Persians, and many months later, the Senate has chosen YOU to rule the Roman Empire. Many problems pester the empire, from the ever rising popularity of the Christians to the plagues and barbarian incursions near the Rhine and the Danube.How could you better the state of the Roman Empire? Will you choose to follow in Aurelian's footsteps? Or will you forge a new path to lead the Empire to glory?
>>3813365>>3813360You guys dont understandParthians were an iranian tribe, persians were an iranian tribe tooTheir language werent the same but was similar as both were iranian languageParthians were part hellenized thanks to those greek niggers

Send Legions in Britannia to assist Rhine limes>Declare Sol Invictus cult as Rome's national religion>Decrease the amount of authority that each general could haveI fixed Rome>>3813365Parthians and Persians were obviously different people. Parthians were nomads who were part of Dahae, while the Persians lived in what is now Shiraz area. They're just same Iranians.
>>3806168you forgot to ban slavery and wipe out rich landowners in italy and gaul and distribute it to citizen soldiers in the legions
>>3811222The Romans weren't even able to found successful dynasties that lasted longer than a century and still fucked up with civil war, assassinations, usurpation, and internal conflict, so they are still far worse.And literally 80% of those Sassanian members you mentioned were all after the last Persian-Roman War from 628 AD and onwards, which is nonsensical and an outlier given its when shit went down with the resurgence of Justinian's Plague and the Sassanian family literally annihilating itself in constant civil wars. Dynastic disputes are less common before that by a metric fuck ton in terms of quantification. >Persian horse archersNo what fucked Romans were Persian cataphracts.
>>3813735>>3813376Parthians always lived next to the Persians in Parthia, a fucking province directly adjacent to Pars in the Iranian Plateau. The Dahae Confederation did not bring Parthians into mainland Iran, the Arsacids were originally the rulers of the Dahae tribes that took residence in Pars and Parthia, and mainly were from the Parni tribe. The Parthians were the same as the Persians since the Mede times.
Redpill me about the orthodox church
Not gonna lie, former Roman Catholic here. This is fucking hilarious watching Francis crash and burn. But in all seriousness we can't let this guy get the keys to heaven.

>>3808161Romanians switched to the 'straightened Julian calendar' (euphemism for Gregorian calendar), m8.
>>3811796lol'd
>>3808019The real redpill is that they're shit. The doctrines and tradition are great on paper but in practice the clergy especially in Russia is stuffed by extremely corrupt fucks, materialists and ex-KGB agents who were probably persecuting Christianity during communism.
Did Göring's arrogance cost Germany the war?His overconfidence in the Luftwaffe kept the military from rolling tanks onto the beach at Dunkirk and annihilating all of the European soldiers, and over a quarter of a million troops got back, many helping defend against Germany in the Battle of Britain. If Germany just stomped them all couldn't they have invaded Britain ezpz and take over Europe?
>invading Western Europe took months, if not years of extensive preparation, developing specialized equipment, against a practically beaten opponent >"lmao just ghetto-rig some barges and you're fine dude, it's not like you're invading a huge island with shitload of population, equivalent air-force, and far superior navy."
>>3811267Germany could not have invaded Britain, even if they did capture the BEF.
>>3812024How the fuck is Germany going to take British colonies? With what power projection ability?
>>3811267>Did Göring's arrogance cost Germany the war?dunno but it sure as fuck didn't help the situation one bit
>>3811267How the hell did BEF help in Battle of Britain? The problem in BoB was never the possibility of a land victory, but getting to do a naval invasion. The moment Wermacht could get 300 000 men on the shores of UK, the endgame would be grim for UK.
Were they white?
>>3813488No, they look like Romanians

>>3813415there's proof of the appearance of lots of ancient peoples and it doesn't stop people who don't look like them from larping as them.
Two of my favorite kinds of nonfic books are single volume biographies/autobiographies.These tend to be light reading which require little effort but offer enormous returns (they give you honest snapshots of history and its participants). What are some of your favorite historical biographies/autobiographies?Who are some of the more interesting characters?I just finished this one and it was riveting. It is still very hard for me to realize that a man like John Brown actually existed in history: that only a century and a half separate my era from his.
>>3811871Honoring John brown is like honoring Joseph Stalin. Do the means really justify the ends? John brown may have fought for abolition, but he did it through ruthless civilian murders in Kansas and a revolt at harpers ferry meant to inspire surrounding slaves to murder every white they came across and join his banner. No matter how noble the cause, if you do it through ruthless violence it tarnishes the goal
