I know that the concept of a untied "German people" didn't really exist prior to the 19th century, but it still seems like before that, people recognized *some* sort of commonality amongst those Germanic-speakers located between France, Italy and Poland.
Was there really absolutely no concept of "Germans" prior to 1800s?

The idea that nationalism didn't exist until the 1800s is a cuck meme.
Nations are way older than nation-states

The cultural-linguistic group existed yes. Both Germans and Non-Germo Euronigs did know there was such a group.
The idea that they were a state/should be a state: not so much. Due to the amount of powerful nobles in Germany who were big on their rights and could only agree with centralized rule via rare consensus on the guy in Charge.

Here, you have your answer.
How could they fuck up so bad? Who the fuck paints freakin Parian marble? That's like putting an Anonymous mask on God's face.
I thought Ancient Rome and Greece were pinnacles of civilization?
Jupiter, get a grip...
Oh. My. Gods.

Your modern sensibilities have blinded to you to the differences between us and them.

color and pigment were commodities
Rome and Greece were so rich that they painted useless shit like statues as a way of saying "Hey fuckers, look how fancy we are"
>Now it says here that you've done extensive research on... on the "Holy Roman Empire"? Care to explain?

What are your favorite ballets? Ballets you haven't seen but want to? Do you think that DVD/home video releases of ballet are ever comparable to seeing it live?

How was the ABT sleeping beauty?
>>933662
It was fucking miraculous. It set the bar so high I'm not sure I can see a standard Sleeping Beauty live again, because it was so refreshing and so well done, and so much more engrossing than other productions I've seen. The original Pepita steps give every role so much more vitality and character than they normally have nowadays. I've been watching other clips of Violente and none of them come even close to capturing the feisty, fun and genuinely temperamental (which is the point of her gift, after all)...

Oh, and the way the mime was incorporated was a revelation.The mime was part of the dance itself, a fluid movement. There was something the director said during the talk before the show, "Imagine that you live in a world where you don't communicate with words, but with dance and gestures." And the show perfectly captured that completely.
The only thing I wasn't 100% sold on was Hee Seo's Act I version of Aurora, who was much more like Act I Giselle than Aurora. She didn't have the...

What does he mean by this ?
>holy
Well I'm not totally sure but if I had to warrant a guess I'd say he meant how dare people mock the honors rendered to Voltaire in the temple of which he is the god, and by the priests who for fifty years have been living off his masterpieces

It means you can't outmeme the master memester.
has this country ever done anything in the entirety of it's fucking history? All it's done is get it's shit kicked in the Vietnamese, Thais, used as a road by Vietcong, and does nothing today.

Daily university thread
Where are you going to Uni?
It's ok

elaborate
University of Lisbon, doing a course that enables me to take classes in several schools within the uni (I know it's common in the States but it's a one of its kind thing here). It's centred in the Humanities school (Faculdade de Letras) and I plan on taking there about two thirds of my classes, the rest being in the Law school (FDUL), the Economics school (ISEG) and the political science school (ISCSP), by order of relevance.
Why do atheists think it's "science vs religion" when it has always been religion vs religion?
Evolutionism is a religion. Its god is plastic monkeys and their prophet is Darwin. They believe in club-wielding Flintstone myths. They reject Biblical creation and embrace Satan's alternative.
Science is unbiased.
Science is observable facts.
Evolutionism relies on assumptions, circular reasoning and presuppositions. It's also founded on admitted hoaxes and frauds.
The world makes much more sense if you look at it through the...
