Is it true you can know if a Russian has aristocratic ancestry based on his family name?
If so how?
>>1359002
Bump for interest.
Everyone has aristocratic ancestry. So, no.
>>1361363
He probably means Patrilineal.
What ever happened to the She-Wolf that raised Romulus and Remus?
Also general Rome and mythology thread.
>>1358936
I thought this was really interesting
>>1358936
She started a different family. She never could bear to be around Romulus again since the incident. It was just too hard to forgive, you know?
Anybody interested in talking about economic history?Also, gibe recommendations. This one is mine, top tier book.

>>1358851
Seems neat, is this a kind of encyclopedia?
>>1358862
Nah, it's basically a non-fiction book documenting the history and evolution of the discipline through the eyes/writings/ideas of leading economists. It basically contextualizes where each of these figures came from philosophically and lays out the strengths and criticisms afforded to each of them by their chronological successors.
Britain's biggest mistake was not electing an early Keynesian in the 1920s-1930s instead electing one government committed to Austerity, and another that was controlled by a chancellor who was committed to Austerity, who shot down every proposal for a young minister who was in contact with Keynes throughout his period in office.
Anything about Keynes by Skidelsky is good, and Skidelsky's 'Politicians and the slump' on Britain and the economic issues of the interwar period

What made the Swedes so good at war?
Why start this thread while most threads are asleep?
Our genuinely Swedish barbarism
-Western Anatolia was one of the only three places where we're sure agricultural revolution started on its own (the other ones being Mesoamerica and China)
-The Balkan peninsula, the Aegean sea and Anatolia were the homes of two (Mycenaean and Hittites) of the great local powers powers before the Bronze Age collapse (others being the Assyrians, the Egyptians and the Babylonians).
-The Balkans were at the forefront of philosophy, becoming the cradle of Western civilization and a great influence to Islamic civilization, two (arguably the two most important)...

>Moscow was directly founded in response to its conquest
This makes me doubt everything else you wrote
>>1358446
Didn't the Americas have their own agricultural revolutions, too?
>>1358446
Anatolia got fucked by constant wars, and then by turkish corruption.
Mainland balkans got fucked by being constantly conquered by foreigners with no reprise to form their own states. Heck, this continued into the 90's when the commie bloc dissolved.
Given time and work, it will heal
>inb4 100 years' war, it was a succession war launched between 2 french dynasties more than a real conquest (like Guillaume).
When you look back it is kind of strange that entity remained during 1500 years.
I mean far more sheltered territories like Spain and Italy needed centuries to reunify under the same authority that they had during the Roman Empire while they were relatively protected by ther geographic position, I don't even speak about actual Germany which was a succession of micro-states after the end of the Holy Roman...

Until what, 1300, it was nothing more than a loose confederation of provinces swearing fealty to each other?
>>1358292
There was no nation itself but the Kingdom was here and the power centralized.
Charlemagne organized the first missi dominici in 780 whose role were to inspect and deliver justices in the Empire, the counts were obligated to make a personal oath of allegiance to the Emperor too.
So it was much more than a confederation, there was a clear hierarchy.
The central power was temporarly weakened under the Plantagenet/Capetian war and the rise of the Bourguignons but at the end of the Hundred Years' War it was over.

You don't understand feudalism
I just went to /pol/ and they said this was a horrible board filled with leftist talking points.
Does this mean this board is good?
Also what are some good places to start reading about Chinese philosophy?

>I just went to /pol/ and they said this was a horrible board filled with leftist talking points.
>Does this mean this board is good?
No, the people that bad people oppose aren't necessarily good. It's like Hitler and Stalin. You can guess which is which.
>>1358044
>bad people
When in doubt, scream racist!
>>1358044
So this board is just as pseudo-intellectual as they are?
Did she do anything genuinely wrong?
>>1357936
Some of the king's most PR-wise disastrous decisions were reportedly made at her advice. Other than that, there's little for her to be blamed for. A woman of mediocre qualities taken over by wave of events that crushed thousands of lives. She was more of a victim of prejudices - people of France hated Austria, so an Austrian princess was also hated.
That depends on what you mean by "genuinely".
She made a few mistakes, but nothing that wouldn't have been excused as just gaffs if she wasn't Austrian and the time wasn't so tense. I don't think she viewed the French people with anything close to malice, if that's what you're asking. And she certainly didn't deserve what she got.
No. Just blood for the blood god (which leftism was until it was castrated by liberalism), so to speak.
If you were a regular pleb in from a small village in the middle ages, and your people was about to be conquered, who would you prefer to be brutally killed by?
Vikings, Mongols or Arabs?
Who were the most savage and sanguinary warriors ever?
You were going to get raped, murdered and enslaved by all three, its just a case of choosing what your attackers look like. That said I'd probably choose the Vikings.
>>1357398
You could add mayans to that list. Tbh I don't know who would be the worst. Being tortured while watching your women get raped and your village set on fire before being eventually killed would have been horrible with any of those. I guess vikings at least were white.
>>1357398
>Vikings, Mongols or Arabs?
so snowniggers, steppeniggers, or sandniggers?
fuck it, I'm moving to Italy
Tfw the Nazi's took the idea of the return of the Aryans literally and delved into eugenics and mass murder. It wasn't the literally creation of a 'pure' race, it was about bringing back Aryan values and purging degenerate values from society.
The return to Paganism was the true mission of the Nazis and they failed because they couldn't understand metaphor and resorted to genocide.
This is the consequence of materialism and the rejection of the metaphysical. Without spirituality and with the primacy of the ideologies of Darwinian evolution, the human experience becomes nothing but a struggle for survival that urges all human effort towards extermination and extinction.

Hitler was mad
>>1357362
I agree. We need a mystic revival. Humanity is ignoring half of existence.

Only thing stopping you from banzai charging gaijin piggu with Arisaka is your lack of balls and dedication to the Tenno.

Remember that one time when handgunners rekt everyone? Oh wait that's every time they were deployed.
>>1356183
Could you be precise with that shit ? I know the point was mainly to put them en masse for maximum efficiency but could a skilled marksman use this weapon accurately at a reasonably interesting distance ?
>>1356183
Handgunners are not that effective, you can't deploy them behind your infantry lines, only if they're in some kind of high ground..
