pliny the elder
about women on their rag:
>“Contact with [menstrual blood] turns new wine sour, crops touched by it become barren, grafts die, seed in gardens are dried up, the fruit of trees fall off, the edge of steel and the gleam of ivory are dulled, hives of bees die, even bronze and iron are at once seized by rust, and a horrible smell fills the air; to taste it drives dogs mad and infects their bites with an incurable poison.”
about silk and fashion trends:
>The Seres are famous for the woolen substance obtained from their forests; after a soaking in water they comb off the white down of the leaves… So manifold is the labour employed, and so distant is the region of the globe drawn upon, to enable the Roman maiden to flaunt transparent clothing in public.
>"By the lowest reckoning, India, Seres and the Arabian peninsula take from our Empire 100 millions of sesterces every year: that is how much our luxuries and women cost us."

Seneca the Younger

about women on fashion:
>I can see clothes of silk, if materials that do not hide the body, nor even one's decency, can be called clothes ... Wretched flocks of maids labour so that the adulteress may be visible through her thin dress, so that her husband has no more acquaintance than any outsider or foreigner with his wife's body.

He has one of the only accounts of first hand witnessing the druids.

You mean the WQ (Woman Question) goes back thousands of years? What do we do with them? Madagascar? Siberia? Maybe if we gave them land, we could make farmers of them? Maybe put them on the border with China?

My favorite ancient wisdom is the one that goes something like
>The elite loves foreign slaves

Furthermore, Carthage must be destroyed

>“The Druids—for that is the name they give to their magicians—held nothing more sacred than the mistletoe and the tree that bears it, supposing always that tree to be the oak… Clad in a white robe the priest ascends the tree, and cuts the mistletoe with a golden sickle, which is received by others in a white cloak. They then immolate the victims [two white bulls]… It is the belief with them that the mistletoe, taken in drink, will impart fecundity to all animals that are barren, and that it is an antidote for all poisons.” (Pliny, Natural History XVI.95)

>“The Druids say that [the snake’s egg] is tossed aloft by the snakes’ hisses, and that it ought to be caught in a military cloak before it can touch the earth.” (Pliny, Natural History VII.2)

Epictetus is an absolute GOAT btw

As a complement to Livy's advice: read John Glubb's book "The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival", it's a short read but deep nonetheless, and touches on the subjects Livy brings up

2Sam 13
10 And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
11 And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.
12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.
14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.

>...war is the truest form of divination. It is the testing of one’s will and the will of another within that larger will which because it binds them is therefore forced to select. War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god.

> Contact with [menstrual blood]
It does nothing, I fucked women that bled a little, my dick is still in perfect health and shape.
Those old fucks were superstitious fools.

Confucius said it best desu

>>509632278 (OP)
So white people were cucks since Antiquity and allowed their women to go outside dressed like whores.
Is this surprising? Whites were always degenerate scum, Islam is right about women.

>>509637448
Those old fucks were better men than you ever will be, disgusting fuck.

I will pay ur contributions forward, brazilfren, and everyone else that contributed. I just need to point it out incase nobody else does that ur posts in this thread will create massive waves. Havent read any of them yet but I will when the time is right. Maybe I'll print them out into hundreds of pamphlets and distribute them to the homeless. Just give each of them reams and tell them to have fun with them

nigger wtf. what does this mean? is this about single mothers? this is like confucius except retarded.

>>509637448
It's a metaphor you sperg. He's saying a woman on her rags will spoil everything that is dear to you by being a total bitch.

>>509637448
>Women bleed on me.
Human females are the only species exhibiting covert oestrus. This enables a dualist mating strategy where when fertile she fucks Chad, but after her luteal phase she bleeds on betas and eats their snacks.

"The adulteress now needs no words, no glances. She walks the streets in undergarments painted onto her skin. Why should the husband know his wife’s body better than the baker, the banker, the boy at the fountain?”

"How much cloth, how much labor, how many foreign workshops, how many coins drawn from the state — all so the female form may be displayed as if naked in the marketplace?

This is true - I just throw chocolate at mine and stay out of her way.
Loud power tools seem to work well.

>>509640519
A 100 gram bar of chocolate now costs more than my daily food budget. Cocoa prices are over 6 x more than they should be. How much chocolate are you betas throwing at the leaky split-tail problem?

>>509636430
It really does take an emperor to get rid of the jews doesn't it?

>>509632569
fuck them?

>>509639928
your comment is definitely interesting and valuable, but sometimes, a woman will fuck you while on her period, while ovulating, etcetera, you get to see every single phase

>>509644491
>I have owned a woman
Yeah, you see a bit that way. You see more If you have a long term benefits situation wish an "owned" woman. If you not enjoying her at her best, and sending her back home at her worst, you not the chad (t. looked at clouds, from both sides now, from win and lose, ...)
