Oh sure lets follow the Roman example of slavery and unrestricted war and our civilization will be "great". It will surely work, bro
>>221929883>yet reaching a level of prosperity unparalleled in the pre-industrial worldRetard>>221929990Ok lets get started.
>>221929883what prosperity? 90% of people living in rome were living like complete shit and rebelling on a monthly basis this "prosperity" is all just the rich holding it while they send the poor to die in wars to loot more lands and they get more money
>>221931597The average Roman liver much better than the average barbaren . They had bread and games, actual sewers, bathrooms instead of just shitting in the street, bathhouses for public sanitation, they lived in actual insulae instead of mud hits with no insulation etcNobody but the rich lived "well" by our standards in the ancient world, but they had it better than some German washing his hair in piss
>>221931597Sounds like today
>>221931222>>221931597I have the feeling non european hands wrote that
>>221929883>conquer the entire known world>except all the areas they knew about, that they bordered, but didn't conquer
>>221931597This, where does OP think Christianity found all of its initial purchase? Slaves in the silver mines, dispossessed peasants who had their land stolen by the elite, and brigands living off the margins of society that's who
>>221929883ROME HAS CONQUERED
>>221929883>>the Romans live in a small city-kingdom synthesized from two different cultures (the Latins and the Etruscans)that's anti greek discrimination.
>>221931716not everyone was a northern european and even then they lived better being free than being taxed to shit and drafted to retarded wars
>>221931597>they send the poor to die in warsWarring was a relatively safe and very well paid job
>>221931597All so-called civilizations are like this. An unfair hierarchy, the state, a parisitic wealthy class. The solution? Anarcho-Primitivism.
>>221933745Kek. Now, this is coping, barbare.
>>221933745>lived better being free LMFAOThe whole concept of citizenship was a uniquely Greco-Roman thing. A first in the world. Everyone else everywhere else was a subject of some king or potentate of some kind. You could could argue that it was no different with the Romans, but at least citizens had rights . Subjects are the property of their life and he can do whatever he wants with them. Get the fuck out of here
>>221933745Also you're insane if you didn't think people everywhere else weren't being taxed to shit and drafted into wars The only reason the Romans revolted was because they could. They were citizens. Any eastern potentate or Celtic chieftain would've had rhem slaughtered wholesale
