Unfortunately did not manage to modernise Islam.

Good ideology, good initial execution, fell apart due to how zealous MENA Muslims are.

It's like Fascism, but with more elections.

His major belief is, and always has been, his own self-importance.

He's not wrong, and consciousness of one's national cultural heritage beyond knowing when we last won the world cup is important, but the fact remains that children from working class family have had no respect or curiosity for these things imbued in them.

It is easier said than done.

Morality man is one of the few worthwhile commentators we have left. I don't agree with him on everything but watching him stacked up against the smirking toddlers who've taken over is heartbreaking.

Because they were a bunch of pussies, unlike us Americans who single-handedly defeated the British Empire at its height while we were just peasants

She meant to say
>I have autism

It's not tha complicated

>the notion that there is some sort of fundamental self or ego is such a masculinized, objectivist position

As always, feminists are gravitating towards collectivism and away from individual freedom and autonomy.

>There is no fixed, or fundamental self/identity. I think that's just resistance to change via fear of the "other", that is which is not status quo

Completely in line with Sweden's "feminist foreign policy" (doing nothing)...

The first part threw me off a bit. I'm not sure why she felt the need to throw in the random feminist statement. But the latter part makes a lot of sense. It seems to me she's saying that as people gain new experiences, that our horizons expand and views can change. So we're potentially in a constant state of change and therefore may not always be the same "person" depending on how you define self.

What crept up your arse this morning? Is this an attempt to troll Danes by claiming that they weren't Vikings?

Viking was something you did, not something you were.

>they are part of the reason why catholicism was weakened

Good.

I've seen dozens of threads like this, but they're always just circlejerks about how shitty the Vikings were, and nobody is ever interested in the actual answer to the question "why do people like Vikings".

>>358872
because they're bluepillers who think attacking the church is cool? It's fucking obvious.

Because when Patroclus died, he stayed dead.

He didn't come back 40 years later to reveal he fucked Gwen Stacy.

When you think about it, we keep adding and addng to these "myths", but every x amount of time we compile the parts we like the most into a shortened version (e.g. movie versions) that more easily fits into our collective memory.
Didn't ancient peoples do the same? Add lots and lots of bullshit and then people just cut it away when it became too much?
Did Romans invent the retcon?

Are you seriously stating, that superheroes are American mythology?

Archaeologists at the Institute of Archaeology at Tel Aviv University say that a succession of severe droughts over a 150-year period from 1250 BCE to about 1100 BCE was the culprit.

By studying fossilized pollen samples beneath the Sea of Galilee, they noticed a succession of severe droughts from the time when the Bronze Age began collapsing. Oaks, pines, carobs and olives began to be replaced by desert vegetation species, indicating that horticulture was suffering serious climate change. These changes set off...

Volcanic activity resulting into climate change, crops failing, hungry desperate fuckers trying to colonize new lands resulting into a civilization collapsing.

Also nice backdrop for Conan the Barbarian.

Extreme drought drove people from Italy and Illyria to get on boats and raid the south for food. When they realised there was none, some of them hung around and declared it an invasion. They weren't literate people and their unmet high expectations caused a lot of anger, so they destroyed lots of clay tablets and displaced the population.

When you have an inferior culture displacing a superior culture, you have what's essentially a dark age.

The only literate culture that survived was Jewish, since most of their civilisation was inland around the sea of Galilee and the dead sea.

This is possible too, there's record of lots of earthquakes around that time. Basically something caused famine in the north and they decided to raid instead of go hungry.
