In this thread we'll list our favorite historical misconceptions. I'll start:
>China was an advanced civilization even in ancient times
Not really. They did build some impressive structures, such as the Great Wall, long before contact with western Europeans. However, the astronomy, philosophy, and even writing system of China are recent advancements. The Ming emperor was said to be shocked and amazed when he first saw that Portugese ambassadors could store information on paper, and he ordered the creation of a written language in response to this. Furthermore, a similar situation played out in Japan, hence the similarities between Japanese and Chinese calligraphy.

>They did build some impressive structures
the construction of large monuments is t indicative of general technological advancement, it betrays the fact of subjection of the general populace to some ruler or party. it is instead indicative of functional slavery and therefore speaks more about the political and cultural rather than the technological state of a society

many snownigger countries have histories only a few centuries old
as far as americans are concerned for example, everything before 1700 is prehistory and some of their christians consider the universe to have started around 5000bc

it is natural from their point of view democracy as some big deal that changed everything from the antiquated and irrelevant past, like some toddler who perceives 1 year to be a long time and sees 2 years into the past as "forever ago"

Pre-christian jewish mystics who worked on the sephirots believed in keter, binah and hokmah, something which would later be called "the body of god" in kabbalah.

Hokmah means "knowledge" and is related to arabic "hikmah", keter means "crown" and binah means "understanding"; these compose what would later be called "the supernal triad" in the jewish occult, hokmah is considered the meaning of something, binah is the capability of processing it and keter would be the subject processing it.

During the second temple period, the high priests started codifying the law, because they started noticing some strains of heteropraxy among the jews and didnt know how to organize them, what they did is debate it all out, without using their intuition or reasoning, in a lawyer-like manner.

Jesus is considered the incarnation of the truth, or what would have been hokmah, the meaning of the law made man, confronting the fact that one can do something like another, without understanding it, and giving people the ability to be in touch with the truth intuitively, this is why his biggest complaints are always on the misuse of the holy spirit (binah).

The premise of philosophy is similar: the sophists (pharisaic types), insult what would basically be considered common sense today, by using reason to come to retarded conclusions, just to prove themselves right in every instance.

Socrates is a character who does not know the truth, and merely tries to give expression to his intuition via questioning, which eventually proves truth, without having come in contact with it.

Modern philosophy is in this sense self-defeating, what is true is not something to be codified, it is something known mystically, plato did not make socrates ask questions for people to ask more questions, he did so to make you self-aware about the fact that you already know certain things and possess deep, mystical intuition.

The leader of American Christianity is currently on trial for bribing people to fraudulently hide that he paid a porn star for sex shortly after his wife had just given birth. At his trial, just kind of hanging out, is the Christian congressman who trafficked children across state lines for sex, who he paid over venmo, and the Christian congresswoman who gave a handjob at a children's musical and had a meltdown when asked to leave. Where do these people get their objective morality from?

Michael Bruce Ross, "The Egg Man", murdered eight teenage girls and young women in Connecticut in an early 1980s spree of destruction. He ended up in the Nutmeg State's death chamber, the last person to be executed in New England. Ross was born in Putnam on July 26, 1959, the eldest of four children born to Daniel and Patricia Ross--the Rosses ran a chicken farm in the town of Brooklyn, hence Michael's nickname. Patricia was best described as a victim of the less-enlightened America of pre-women's lib days. Her husband knocked her up in high school and they had a shotgun wedding. Pat had not wanted to marry Daniel Ross or be the wife of a chicken farmer, but in the 1950s she had little choice and took out her wrath on the children she'd never wanted to have.

Needless to say, she was a woman with serious psychotic and anger management issues. Pat deserted her family at least once, spent time in a mental hospital, and beat her children although Michael, who as the eldest was the entire reason she landed in this predicament in the first place, got the worst of it; she insisted his father actually did the beatings and she just held the kids down for it. He was reportedly molested by a teenage uncle who committed suicide in 1967 and he molested two younger girls when he was 12, although he insisted they were just playing a game of show-me-yours-and-I'll-show-you-mine. He was beaten for this offense.

I want to ask you guys this. I know many nordfaggots will act like they weren’t simply because “they were olive, waaaaaaaaaaah, they weren’t white like the nordic Roman’s were, they were brown”

The reality is a lot more complicated than that. From all the research I myself have conducted into Eastern Roman history from 476 AD to 1453, they not only saw themelves as Roman, but Greco-Roman culture continued to evolve under them, as well as the continuation of Roman/greco Roman law and culture. They still referred to emperors with their formal, Latin titles in formal settings as well. Although ethnically Greek , or perhaps a cross of ancient Latin and Greek dna, they were in My eyes, Rome.

This makes the whole idea and advent of the crusades that much more tragic in my eyes. Because the father of most of European civilization (literally since Greeks also fathered it ) was a being swarmed by inbred Islamic Turkmen who flooded into Anatolia, which until then was as white as Greece itself. I wonder if later western historians called them Byzantium simply because they couldn’t handle the guilt that the west killed THE Roman Empire in the long term with the retarded kike pushed 4th crusade.

One of the most important bits of evidence is that they literally came out of the old unified Roman Empire, making up the eastern half. All existing Roman cultural and political pillars that existed before, were split between east and west. Eastern Rome never became “The empire of the Greeks “ or “Hellas” or anything like that after this until its death in 1453 at the hand of inbred Islamic invaders. Speaking of a part of me fears Europe may follow its ancestoral empire of Rome into the arena of Islamic domination and eviseration… and that scares me.

But I wanna hear YOUR opinion on this matter.

>it just changed over time
Yes, largely because of an influx of foreigners into Roman cities and rampant race mixing. A hundred years from now, if America is 60% Hispanic and 30% Asian, and some mutted form of spanglish has become the national language, would you really consider it to be the same country as America from 1776, or even 2000? At that point, it wouldn't matter if there was continuity of government or if the people "identified" as Americans, because the culture and character of America would be entirely alien to original America- not merely an evolved version of it.

>Julius Nepos this Syagrius that
No one cares. Whether the empire ended with one puppet emperor, another puppet emperor, or Constantine XXX Popodopolous Onassis is just an exercise in autistic pedantry. The Roman Empire was a hopelessly decadent muttfest by the 3rd century AD, and I'm guessing that most true Romans- with names like Cincinnatus, Scipio, and Fabius- would have preferred a quick death for the late empire if they could see the future. Thinking that the emperors should be the focus of Roman history, and memorizing all their names and summaries of their reigns is like modern teenagers obsessing over niggerrap while ignoring centuries of much better music available to them at the touch of a button

Canada is such a pathetic non country. I know people like to joke about other countries not being real, but this one isnt a joke, Canada is just a big nothing up north. They have no real history, culture, or legal tradition, they are united under the banner of not being American and that it. Within that black hole of existence, they just absorb everything else which is now why Canada brags about being nothing and everything. Gay tranny sihks and Chinks and everything else. Housing prices through the roof, and a stupid globalist bimbo for the PM.

For all their LARPing as an indepdent country (they arent) they are still part of the British Empire and this is their only way out. They shouldn embrace their anglo heritage and try to make accommodations with the French even though they started this move into oblivion out of spite.
