Why people suddenly decided that monarchy is no way to rule over a country when it worked for thousands years and more.
>>1064273
>it worked for thousands years and more
[citation needed]
Because people don't just pick a form of government on if they work or not but how well it works and treats its own population?
Having Absolute Monarchs that in theory at least own their own population don't work well with modern ideals of freedom and stuff.

Why didn't the Romans ever explore the west coast of Africa?
>>1046483
The Atlantic Ocean?
>>1046483
Because it was a mix of jungles and deserts? They didn't know about the gold deposits there so they had no reason to explore it.

Why does everyone goes crazy about WW2, yet no one gives a shit about WW1?
Is it because Americans were barely involved in it and couldn't take the credit for the victory?

Pretty much. Also there isn't as clear of a good/evil distinction between the belligerents and trench warfare was boring af.

That's just wrong
Were Romans socialists? High taxes for welfare, Caesar leaving money for every citizen of Rome after he died, free water from aqueducts.
>>1064940
>state do tthing for me does that make socialist??????????
>>1064960
A huge socialist principle is distribution of wealth to the lower classes. That's what the Romans did.
>>1064940
Weren't most of the citizens of Rome jobless and living on state handouts? What time period might this have been accurate?
How the fuck did Americans get away with grabbing all this sweet sweet land?

Manifest Destiny wasn't an ambition, it was destiny etched into the soul of every American.
Except Horace Greeley. Fuck him.
Manifest destiny, strong colonial / expansionist mindset that lead to the settling of the frontier, Louisiana purchase, and killing lots and lots of injuns to make room for more settlers.
Was the Ayyubid Caliphate an example of multiculturalism working?
>Arabs treating all non Arabs like shit
>>1062560
One culture ruling over other cultures is not multiculturalism
Multiculturalism is a modern ideology and has nothing to do with medieval Islamic politics or society.
How is it possible to believe in the divinity of Christ but not in Mary?
It's impossible. Proddies are too stupid to live.
>>1059590
What do you mean by "believing?" I don't think there's a single (mainstream) Christian who doesn't believe Mary existed or that she was the virgin mother of Jesus.
The issue that people take contention with is whether that qualifies her to be prayed to for intercession or not. And that's not really a Mary-exclusive thing, that's more to do with veneration of the Saints in general.
>>1059590
I dont understand, why would mary be divine?
Today 39 years ago the world's greatest World Power was defeated by a bunch of jungle dwelling pajama wearers.
They did great in the frontlines, but they lost at home, with soldiers being spit on by their own country when they have returned home.

Fucking liberals and boomers ruin everything.
Not enough bombs dropped. Not enough people killed. America needed a Roman peace, but weren't willing to take it.

There is a difference between "has never been tried" and "is impossible to realize."

What would George Berkeley say about mind-altering substances?
>>1068128
Idk why don't you ask Philonous?
>>1068128
Elaborate on your point, please. Say something along the lines of, "Since mind altering substances do this:____ and Berkeley says this:____, what would Berkeley think about them?" My knowledge of Berkeley is slim but I actually happen to be writing a short paper on his First Dialog.
>>1068738
Since mind-altering substances exist, wouldn't that lend to the idea of things existing independently of the mind?
