We need to mine coal like crazy. America should be the number one producer of coal. Don’t be afraid of coal. The highest grade of coal burns clean.
star trek did it too
Everyone's daily reminder that Edward Gibbon was filled with the 'tism and was a physically disgusting Proto-Redditor mocked by his peers.
China is not and does not even imagine itself to be the successor (in a legal-political sense or otherwise) to the Soviet Union. Communism is also a globally discredited ideology & on the retreat everywhere it once had a foothold, most recently in Latin America. Meanwhile Christianity only ascended to ever higher heights in the centuries after the downfall of the WRE, infusing into pretty much every great endeavor undertaken by Europeans from the crusades to the construction of Gothic cathedrals and being the driving spiritual force behind every great European empire from Charlemagne's early HRE (and the Byzantines themselves, of course) up to the British Empire in one form or another.
You're confusing correlation with causation. Christians didn't bring about the Antonine plague, nor did they kill Commodus, nor did they reduce the percentage of silver in imperial coinage, nor did they create the unstable system of the Tetrarchy, nor did they hire foreigner barbarians to protect their borders from foreign barbarians, nor they make Atilla arrive in Europe.
Neo-Pagan types understanding the history of Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire? I don't think they're capable of it. Although if you want an amusing aside, you can make a claim that the Western Roman Empire only ceased to exist after the last of it's splinter states, the last Welsh Kingdom, was absorbed by the English. Welsh Royalty would track the history of their bloodlines down through the Romano-Britons. If you want to make autists rage. Kind of like you can make a reasonable assertion that the ERE only ceased to exist after the last Imperial territories fell in the 1460s.
The Soviet Union was birthed with communism, China was birthed in Communism.
2 years ago the status quo on iran was that their regional dominance was so powerful, capable of sinking entire US fleets, that we should just let them get whatever they want to keep them quiet. Mind you this is an entity who has it in their constitution to "export the islamic revolution" to the entire middle east and ultimately the world.
This is the kind of shit gives you guys away. I'm sorry but what the fuck does iran have to do with the assassination of Charlie kirk? Like at all? People were already complaining it had been forgotten about last november when mamdami won, but actually THIS is the thing that proves it didn't matter?
You're half right. We've (assuming you're not the brownest mohommad sucker on the website which is already more leeway than you deserve) become so used to losing that people like you don't know how to process anything else. I don't know you but I know you. You doomed in 2020. You doomed in the leadup to trump's win. You doomed when he did win, you doomed over deportations not going well enough, you doomed over tariffs then you doomed when the tariffs went away, you doomed in the leadup to venezuela that it would be a 5 year grind, you doomed after it was a success that it didn't mean anything, you doomed in the leadup to iran, the start, middle, and end of it. Because how could good things be happening?
Ad hominem o algo
Define strict Christianity. West Rome fell and it was hardly whatever your definition of pure Christianity would be, which I assume is some caricature of progressive modern American east-coast Protestantism.
"Wokism didn't bring about the Covid plague and economic downward spiral, nor did it bring the Great Depression, or the Great Recession, nor did it make the value of the US Dollar go down or make gas prices go up, nor did it make big tech corporations become bigger and lead to mass surveillance."
What's wokism in this particular argument?
The only thing that is more of a constant in China than being just a succession of brutal dictatorships, is the confucian mentality of never bothering to fight against it, because the only outcome other than death is just having another brutal dictator take over.
I mean, I'm specifically trying to insult him, his peers calling him Mr. Potato is funny, and also pointing out that Gibbon wasn't some kind of noble, unbiased source. He's a very valuable writer, which is why his work has survived, but it doesn't mean his opinions are correct. This is like how Reddit can still sometimes have very useful information, but you can't take it as gospel truth because Redditors are often vile, dysgentic, autistic mutants with very specific biases.
>Majorly Christian country
The browns wouldn't be speaking understandable languages were it not for the tireless selfless work of Christian missionaries.
I don't think people know just how involved in causing the Lebanese civil war the Palestinians were. There are reasons everyone in the region wants nothing to do with them and it's because they're absolutely shitheads who start shit where ever they go.
