Simply post about sub-cultures.
Could be favorites, or just local groups.
Personal favorite is Skinheads. (Not /pol/ faggots)
Their attitude and brotherhood is only something I could wish to be apart of, but simply there is a lack of them in my local area, and they're often branded as neo-nazis due to fascists stealing their style.

We've had these before but it's been a while, so I decided I'd start a new alternate history thread. I've got a bunch of maps in my folder to dump and I will commence doing so now.
Some of the maps may be a bit ASB, so bear with me.
Prove me otherwise. Pro tip: you can't.
You are right, but Christianity was only one of the many reasons for the fall of Rome as you can see in that list.

Romans liked getting fvcked apparently.

The Julian Calendar fucked up the Roman Empire.

I agree.

Same guy who said I'd agree with the British ruling over us Americans, but they shouldn't have taken guns away.
I agree with everything else they did with the Americans though. Not ashamed to say that.

Are maces just a meme?
"Lets put a heavy rock on the end of a stick." It's the most basic fucking weapon.
It's off balance and heavy, making it useless for parrying unlike a sword. It is also not sharp and cannot be used for thrusting. In cramped quarters during a battle? Too bad, your weapon is now useless. A backhand isn't going to have the force to do much either.
They also can't do shit for armor. Armor deflects and pads mace blows. Swords can pierce inside the gaps in armor.
Even axes have weight and a blade.
I can only assume maces were a meme invented in the stone age and then created by warriors as a joke.

Saying this while you can literally fight with stick.
Do you think gay marriage will be a-okay in Christianity in a couple of hundred years (if Christianity is even still around)?
>>1309263
Some denominations already allow women pastors so from there it's just a slippery slope into degeneracy and devil worship
>In April 2012, the election of a young gay man who was living in a registered same-sex partnership to a pastoral council in Vienna was vetoed by the parish priest. After meeting with the couple, Schönborn reinstated him. He later advised in a homily that priests must apply a pastoral approach that is "neither rigorist nor lax" in counselling Catholics who "don't live according to [God's] master plan".[38]

nah, by then there will be other vices in the world and the "sexual revolution" will be mostly forgotten
How do you explain the phenomenon of almost every generation hating the present they live in and yearning for the past times? Is it nostalgia or something deeper? Or is the world simply gradually going to shit decade by decade?
I'm incredibly nostalgic for 90's and 80's. I literally spend hours on youtube watching shows and listening to music i did when i was younger. First it was just reminiscing my childhood but now i'm in the phase of desperately searching for any clue that would give me the comforting feel of the decade of my choice. It's like a drug, i can't explain it better.
But i can't make myself listening or watching some contemporary stuff, it turns me off like a plague. Everything modern disgusts me.
And i'm not even that old.
>>1301788
Yes, probably just nostalgia.
I feel the same way too though.
Because you were a child. Children are usually not confronted with the complexity of geopolitics and the economy, which is why you look back at your childhood decade as a simpler time.

Historically, what were the major differences between Ashkenazi and Sephardi life, culture, and thought?
How were the two populations perceived by each other, before and after 1948?
>>1284218
Ashkenazi like to poison wells, kidnap children, promote communism, lie about genocide, degenerate europe, promote immigration, and produce pornography, Sephardi are like them but more swarthy, that's all I know but I'm interested in learning more about their culture
What exactly are Shepardi Jews? I know what Ashkenazi Jews and where they're from but who are the Shepardi? Are they Jews who stayed in the Mediterranean?
Where does "Western Europe" end and "Eastern Europe" begin? Are these terms even relevant anymore or should we just look at Europe as a cohesive whole?

Nations in th EEC were western.
Nations in the Warsaw Pact were Eastern.
Why aren't North Africans and Middle Easterners culpabilized for being enslavers? They enslaved as much blacks and even a large number of whites over the centuries... And up until very recently still ( one could even say up until today with their Nepalese and Flip slaves in Dubai and what not ).
Yet I never see that being mentioned in any school and its only stepmotherly mentioned even in colleges.
Was a temporary and recent defeat against the West enough for us to neglect their immoral involvements forever?

To be honest if it wasn't for the whole balls chopping thing, the Arab slave trade doesn't seem as bad. Just because of that though its worse lel
It spread all the way to Indonesia and had a big influence there, and obvs there were many people who converted, but why is India still majority Hindu?
>>1308882
I remember reading a book about a dude who traveled to different muslim countries including Indonesia. I don't remember the name but I could check it. But long story short: Islam in south east asia is relatively young and it grew stronger thanks to external threats and occupation. Islam was held as a tool of cultural resistance against europeans.
You can understand perfectly why in India this couldn't happen, with the muslims being invaders themselves.
Mughals eventually went DUDE SYNCRETISM LMAO. Although it's an understatement that it didn't take off. One in six Indians is a Muslim
>>1308882
Islam has hundreds of millions of followers in the subcontinent, so I don't think you can say it didn't take off. The question why India isn't completely Muslim has to do with the organized nature of Indian Hinduism/Sikhism that developed parallel with the arrival and establishment of Indian Islam, thereby compartmentalizing these religions along ethnic and class lines. Islam became the religion of some tribes, Hinduism the religion of others, and they diverged from there. In the north Islam centered around the Turkish aristocracy. In the east Islam became the culture of the Bengal tribes of the delta. In the south Islam became the religion of merchant colonies from Arabia and Africa, and in the west Islam became the religion of several Pashtun, Sindh and Punjab tribes.
Would anyone have any reading suggestions for someone considering re-entry into the Christian faith?
I was "raised Christian" the way every millennial was - I celebrated Christmas and marked the box on paperwork. Eventually I left, but none of the paths that I've followed since then have provided fulfillment. Now that I have a greater understanding of religion though, I'm considering re-entry in a much more serious manner, and I'd appreciate some reading material to help inform my choices. Thanks :)
>>1308873
C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity" would be a good re-introduction to the faith as would John Stott's "Basic Christianity."
I'll be praying for you OP.
>>1308890
reminder that C.S. Lewis believed Jesus had told a false prophecy about the end times happening within the disciples'generation yet still believed he was divine
