Now that the dust has settled, can we agree that the "War on Drugs" was just an excuse for the government to create scapegoats as that was easier and cheaper for them than actually solving real core issues that lead to poverty and drug use in the first place?

>A: We know this happened because Herodotus said it.>B: How do we know Herodotus said it?>A: Because of a scroll credited to him written 1,500 years after he died.>B: How do we know he wrote that scroll?>A: Because one page of 500 mostly matches a fragment we found written 700 years after he died. >B: How do we know he wrote the fragment written 700 years after he died then? And even assuming that were true what about the other 499 pages?>A: Shut the fuck up you're LITERALLY the same as Flat Earther or climate change denier.Do historycucks really? Why are they so insecure about admitting that we really don't know much about certain historical events beyond the broadest points of what can be verified by archaeology?
>>18731780All of this also just takes it as a given that if Herodotus said something it was true btw, which is also ridiculous.
>>18731781>All of this also just takes it as a given that if Herodotus said something it was true btw,He's called "the father of lies", anon.
Why do you care about ancient Rome? The last 6 Roman emperors were fags.
Are consent and feminism colonalist concepts that should be rejected by indigineous peoples?

>>18732144>Muslims kicks out Catholics out>out outOP is so worked up about expelling his enemies that he invoked the Department of Redundancy Department.
>>18732434OP is a mexcrement
I just hate how 99% of discussions about catholicism is Thomas Aquinas Thomas Aquinas. He is more quoted than the Bible or catechism, and he is not an official source.If he is right about everything in his summa theologica, that means that 99.999999% of humanity is going to hell. Postures like unbaptized babies or suicidal people are crazy.
>>18732359>Jesus didn't live in the 1st centuryDo you do this often? Just make shit up and respond to what you manufactured yourself in your own words, instead of engaging with what the person you're replying to actually said. Worthless shitposting brainrot. I assume when people examine the history of things related to the bible you automatically devolve into this pattern of behavior. It's a coping mechanism to help your ego. You are goymaxxing right now and it's embarassing!
>>18732362Guy in that meme is mostly correct and more correct than most Christians on /his/
>>18732362>doesn't even respond, only seetheLmao, we accept your concession. 1st century AD, in case your singular braincell failed to remind you how the fucking Gregorian calendar works.
>>18731815Trvthnvke is just that most of the new converts and especially recovnerts who think they PROOOOOVE god are barely literate STEM-lords that only ever read Plato and a vulgar, rushed summary of Kant in the meager "philosophy" course at uni. When their idiotic reddit atheism beliefs implode from a cursory critique, the only answer they are left with are centuries old idealist slop they encountered earlier. They are literally mentally stunted into outdated Platonic dualist tendencies and will start breaking down like a chatbot once you bring up anything that smells the least bit of relationism, French critical theory or really just basic sociological science, stuttering about how "w-well I pragmatically choose my simpler reality that isn't weird and scary to me!".
>>18732366I agree. Christianity isn't the source of Virtue Ethics, so the ones shitposting on /his/ aren't surprising. In any case Jesus would not approve of their behavior. 9 times out of 10 there's nothing constructive or productive about the way Christians engage with posts on this board.

>>18731318Mention China out of no way?
>>18731333Mention China because it was a big empire very far from Europe that had numbers and resources superior to Europe much like India. You could do the opposite and claim that the USSR could conquer India or the Roman Empire could conquer India. You're ignoring the entire rest of the planet between them and boiling it down to who had a stronger military on paper.
How could the Polacks have beat-back/fully repelled the invasion by the Soviets and Nazis into Poland? Could France or England actually have helped them?

Post your favorite military blunders in history. I'll start with the classic:>Decide to invade Russia>Don't bother bringing winter clothes or enough food to last through the winter.
>>18731554Still kick Chinese ass
>>18731847China defeated the Dutch East India Company in every single war, in Pescadores aka Penghu in 1622-1624, Liaoluo bay in 1633, Taiwan in 1661-1662 etc.Chinese civilians beheaded Spanish governor generals Gomez Pérez Dasmariñas in 1593 and his son Luis Pérez Dasmariñas in 1603Chinese threatening to invade the Philippins in 1662 forced Spain to withdraw all its soldiers from Maluku (Moluccas) in Indonesia forever and lost it, and from Zamboanga in Mindanao for decades.That's why they didn't join the Boxer war retard.

How did the original fascists feel about women's weight?
>>18731368yeah that's true
>>18731435nice, a redhead
>>18731435gross, a redhead
Eugenicists are not necessarily fascists,but the many fascists that were serious about eugenics would probably follow their conclusions.Fascism has no use for ditzy sticks, it needs strong and intelligent breeders.
So he was a pedophile, right?
>>18731573Elaborate?
>>18731709Most of what we know of myths and history that we keep repeating is just a retelling of major cataclysms in the cosmos that gave shape to the system as we know itHowever misunderstandings in this communication system has led to figures being misplaced or added in or replaced that has led to people get confused and constantly arguing about what's what
>>18731379many such cases
>>18731379You keep Rome chugging along a little while longer, long enough for more Latin classics to be written for me to enjoy 2000 years later, then I give a lot of leeway.
>>18731415This post reminds me of that joke where a jewess asks for money from her dad and he keeps shrinking the amount as he rambles on about how she doesn't need it at all.
If the Septuagint is older than the Masoretic, why do we use Bibles translated from the Masoretic? Why isn't the Septuagint more popular?
>>18732128Because the Masoretic Text was the one that became canonized by 7th century Rabbi, and Christianity is just a Jewish Apostate movement so naturally they're going to favor whatever Rabbi say
>>18732128Because Septuagint-onlyists are LARPers
>>18732128Because like with all decisions regarding judeochristian scripture it's just arbitrary what gets included or not, purely depending on the feefees of some old fart. Early Christians including the authors of the 4 gospels all used the Septuagint later Christians say they were wrong
>>18732135Religion is fundamentally LARP but in this case it’s better to use the book the original Christians we’re using rather a different book from a thousand years later written by a competing LARP group

Something I've noticed about the critics of FDR are that they are either1. White trash southern hicks who only think in terms of labels like "SOSHULUST" or "BIG GUBMENT"2. Contrarian yankee hicks like Styxhexenhammer666 who are uncouth to say the least.>H-he sucked because he didn't perfectly implement my libertarian economic principles!!!Not his job, first of all. Second, I don't believe you. I think you're just suffering from crippling class envy and don't like that he came from good Dutch stock, went to Groton and Harvard, etc. Grow up. How about you implement your own libertarian ethic and work your way out of a trailer park?
>>18731140At the expense of everyone else and it caused another influx of nons from the south to White states in the Mid Atlantic and Midwest.New England shitlibs and their cousins from Virginia downward should all be murdered.Germans are just superior stock, Anglos are a blight.That’s why the belt from Oregon to New Jersey is safe and productive while the Anglos on either side of it are subhuman orc hives.
>>18731140The tl;dr was a bit complicated:>the South was left in ruins by the Civil War>during the Gilded Age nothing much was done to rebuild the place because of sectional politics--the Northeast had most of the nation's wealth and it was a solidly Republican region that had no interest in investing in the South because fuck them they were traitors to the country who lost the war not to mention Democrats>the region remained completely impoverished and medieval for decades>FDR comes and invests in the South via New Deal projects like the TVA>during the war a lot of defense infrastructure is also built there>this finally brings the region into the modern age and allows an actual middle class to exist there>however, it also permanently turns it into a Republican stronghold in part because there's a lot of MIC jobs during the Cold War

What was the best pagan religion?
>fruits in 2026OP
>>18731929Chinese folk religion.>No clergy/priests.>No Dogma that dictates your life 24/7>No meme books that you're required to study to fully understand the religion.>Vibe coded faith consisting mainly of rituals to appease/ward of deity of your choice depending on your need.>Gods aren't authoritarian micromanagers like the jewish one nor fickle manchildren like the Greek ones. Basically upholds the Cosmos and expects you to be in charge of running the Mortal (human) realm.>Can insert your fanfic gods into the metanarrative>Fun festivals (Chinese New Year, Spring Festival, Hungry Ghost Month)>You can become a god.>Badass logos.>Belief in magic.>Sex magic.>When encountering new religions it merely adds stuff from the new religion into the existing religion instead of going into religious wars & crusades/jihads.
>>18731929Buddhism. Zoroastrianism. If you feel rebellious, Platonism or Confucianism.
>>18732303fpbp>>18732376>PlatonismSo Christianity? Makes sense it's a very succesful pagan religion after all
>>18732374Chinese Folk Religion has elements of Dogma. For example there is a such a thing as bad magic & rituals where a person approaches an evil entity for the purposes of causing harm to other people.This was called "wugu" (lit. bad magic) a.k.a sorcery in Chinese law and was illegal during the time of the Emperors, where those accused of committing were tried as if they committed actual murder.

vandal, roman, macedonian imperialism isnt?
>>18724699Total horseshit. Gaiseric was his name and even his most hateful detractors admitted he was a military genius. They allied with Roman Africans, Locals and Iberians who kept city administration afloat and trade flourishing. Local peasants still spoke Punic, but they were peasant Moors totally unrelated to the original Semitic founders of the city of course. Carthage was just an extraction point for Rome for centuries at that point. Vandals ere also the weakest and smallest Germanic tribe. They lost about every fight in Europe against other Germanix. It was no more than 20,000 fighting men doing all of that, burning entire fleets. Sacking Rome itself after Aetius and Atilla had both died. You can't take that from them no matter how hard you try nigga. It was a surprisingly kino point of history.
