Fucking kek, how did I not read this sooner

Also holy shit, populationmaxing with mass immigration goes back far

And you think you are going to stop it, reclaim white glory?

はい anon くん、 this time we will break the cycle of herstory and transcend into our higher selves

>mass immigration
It's called conquest.

Chat is this real?!

Has anyone else noticed after reading books, especially about history, than no one around you knows a God damn thing about what they are talking about and the internet has basically become a huge vehicle for distributing mountains the most shallow pop-history which is utterly dominating the discussion?

Nice aughts
Well, I read it long ago (along with the later Hannibal books) and was pleased to discover Shakespeare's sources for both Coriolanus and Lucrece. Livy's just-so history

Don't take the story of Romulus and Remus too seriously, it was not historical reality, but yes, elites wanted labor in the past too.

The early stuff for sure, but the stuff from his actual rule sounds pretty plausible and normal to me, nothing really mythological sounding about it

Got a chuckle over his death though. "the senators who were with him and had been growing increasingly envious of him claimed he was picked up why a whirlwind and abducted into the sky and just disappeared never to be seen again.
>but some people whispered that the senators tore him apart

Its crazy to think of a virgin world where you could just strike out with a bunch of men and build a city on some land some land somewhere .

The idea of unowned land and a world so open and free feels so alien

yeah, history is a lie. A narrative made by people to give some reason some system to existence, to not go insane. Nowadays to make money out of museums and tourism. It's more fun when you realise this and see history as some kind of social narrative. History something akin to adaptation of past (as in movie being adaptation of some specific book).

Syracuse's growth is one similar example, instead of a number of villages synoecising voluntarily like many poleis they forcefully relocated the entire population of cities they conquered.

Yes most people don't read books and will assume a Wikipedia summary is sufficient to form an opinion and argue about it. Posters on this site will argue about the fall of Rome every day and never read anything about it.

That's not what he said at all, you're asserting a completely different thing that justifies not reading because it's all fake, and of course you can discern fakeness from a position of total ignorance.

The kingdom of Rome is underrated

What I find interesting is how democratic it is, right from the get go you can already see all of the pieces of the republic falling into place

If people can unironically be made to believe the Holocaust, and that Trump was shot in the ear, in just recent times, and that can be made into official history, then I have very little faith in anything written hundreds of years ago having even the slightest drop of truth.

But let me guess, you totally believe in the Epstein List?

I'll be perfectly honest with you, I've stayed away from most news for like a year now, so I'm not really sure what that is.
