How did monarchs from the past and today get money? Did the royal treasury just give it to them? Did they rent royal lands? Did they just say "fuck it, I own the treasury, all moeny is mine"?
>fuck it, I own the treasury, all moeny is mine
Well, yeah. They physically owned the state.
1) People pay taxes > taxes go into royal treasury > royal treasury doles out salaries to monarchs
2) Monarchs take out loans > loans go into royal treasury > royal treasury doles out salaries to monarchs
3) Monarchy owns lands > profits from those lands > profits go into royal treasury > royal treasury doles out salaries to monarchs

This. Technically a king owns every fucking object in the borders of his kingdom.
How likely is Ireland's political establishment to make moves to bring about unification following the Brexit vote and probable Scottish withdrawal?
BEGORRAH, TIS LIKE A SECOND POTATO FAMINE
>>1399584
>If Scotland stays
really unlikely
>If Scotland leaves
likely but it'll take ages.
>>1399584
Highly unlikely. The ones who really want re-unification are the Rep.of Ireland and Irish Americans who don't get the situation

I love your post. Seriously I fuckin love this no sarcasm I'd like to share a beer with you sometime
Alright, I'm the way below shit-tier pleb when it comes to arguing philosophy. But, I know that semantics can give way to many arguments being made. And right now, nobody off or online would give me convincing arguments as to why one definition is right, and why the other is wrong. So, please, tell me, /his/ which of the two is the right one? I wanted to post this on a more intelligent board, but fuck it, I love the shitflinging in this board even more.
they are both beliefs you fucking autist
i cant believe this is still a fucking issue.
and semantics are retarded
>>1399266
i will explain it to you but first you need to tell me why we park on the driveway but we drive on the parkway
>>1399311
See, the problem is that, until we've clearly established that the "atheism is a lack of belief" argument is moot, we're still going to get this argument being thrown, again and again and again. Much like the Shroud of Turin.
How important was tin towards the formation of long distance trade routes. I have heard it relative scarcity to bronze age societies created a demand that allowed for the formation of many trade routes.
Supposedly tin trade routes stretched as far as Afghanistan during the bronze age.
>>1398987
It almost begs the question how bronze was discovered in the first place.
>>1398981
How are there no green dots on Sardinia if it had the biggest amount of copper mines in the Med next to Cyprus?
Either way most swords in Scandinavia were made of mainly Sardinian copper during the bronze Age according to a recent study, but I don't know about tin.
Periodization is a pretty Eurocentric thing, so I started thinking about ways to better divide the ages of human history according to human world-wide discoveries and real life-changing events.
So far I came up with:
The discovery of fire.
Agriculture based societies.
Discovery of intercontinental sea routes.
Industrialization.
I feel that there's a considerable age gap between 3 of them, and I feel that perhaps the discovery of intercontinental sea routes is just a stage of a process that started with the first trade routes and continues now as space exploration and therefore souldn't be considered as a defining moment of human history like the other 3.
What do you gues think?
>>1398944
OK discovery of fire is so far back I think it kinda stupid to include it.
I think my division would be
>Homo Sapien expansion from Africa
>Farming/Domestication
>Metallurgy
>Industrial Revolution.
All those funded tally changed humans I was not sure whether to include large trade routes like you.
>the singularity expands in an explosive fashion forming the early universe
>release of Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice
about sums up the most important accomplishments
>>1398944
>Periodization
Except it's fucking not. Periodization has always been relative and serious historians do not use terms like "Medieval China" or some shit.
They tend to use the LOCAL TERMS for such periods.
>Sassanid Persia
>Heian Japan
>T'ang China.

Why is it that saying "Anon is Jewish" is less rude than saying "Anon is a Jew"?
Because saying "Anon is Jewish" is just stating a fact.
Saying "Anon is a Jew" focuses more on the individuality and seriousness of being Jew.
It's sort of like someone saying
"I like black people"
vs
"I like blacks"
It ends on what they are Jewish/Black, so the emphasis is on that, rather than the person or ethnicity.
>>1398880
It's so eye opening that even our linguistics hates Jews. Thanks, anon.

Old Bolsheviks are frequently accused of antisemitism...
But Trotsky probably killed the most Jews, right? His operations against Makhnovite peasants happened in heavily Jewish areas of Ukraine. It's possibly that up to 20% of the anarchist peasantry was Jewish.
>>1398808
Trotskey was a Jew
>>1398823
....no shit
He also slaughtered thousands of Jewish civilians for supporting the wrong side
>>1398856
That's what happens in any civil war.
Exterminating people isn't just a racial thing.
It can also be political, religious and social.
If people unironically think this prof of "antisemitism" they should hang themselves.

Was Yahweh the number one cause of death in the ancient near east?
It was probably just Jews poisoning the wells who decided to frame Yawheh for it.

Can you guys give me examples of military campaigns akin to Fourth Crusade where shit went hilariously and absurdly not as planned?
What about the time the Austrian army attacked itself?

Karansebes I believe is the name, but whether it actually happened is debatable...certainly a fucking hilarious story though

The deployment of the Russian Baltic Fleet to the Far East during the Russo-Japanese War comes to mind.
should the state fund unpractical fields like philosophy that can hardly be commercialised ?
does the public profit to an extent that justifies funding ?
State-funded philosophy is generally just propaganda supporting whoever is in power

We must unite the germanic people under one flag for a perpetual pringle producer.
Why must a Jew adhere to all 13 principles of faith? How do we know the Tanakh (Old Testament for gentiles) is as it was when Moses received it?
>>1398719
Google "kariates" and "Samaritans".
>>1398719
Moses obviously didn't receive the entire Tanakh nor was he likely to have "received" the Torah (see JEDP textual criticism).
>adhere to all 13 principles of faith
The Articles of Faith come from 12th-century Rabbi Maimonides and while they are based on Scripture, they are not specifically outlined in the Torah or Tanahk. They are beliefs (like the Nicaean Creed) and not explicit instructions for rules of conduct (with the possible exxception of number 5, Prayer is to God only)

What's your go to /his/ story topic when talking to someone who doesn't study/know too much about it?
Taiping Rebellion, mid 1800s China. In short:
>Dude Hong Xiquan fails civil service exam three times, goes crazy, thinks he's the younger brother of Jesus
>Starts a religious rebellion while China's already fucked with the Opium Wars, does pretty well, all of society under Taiping is a weird fusion of religion and military
>Ends up crushed, up to 30 fucking million people die, Nanjing gets wrekt pretty bad, deadliest civil war in human history
>All started by a Chinese dude who thought he was related to Christ
Probably one of the weirdest history stories I've came upon so far
