@Uksio I'm glad we got a cat people nazi salute at the end of that.

Schroedinger in Helsing is best Nazi cat.

ah yes he's back

@BabaBooey Why do you pretend monetary compensation for labour performed doesn't exist?

that's a trend of your arguments so far

The pyramids were built by skilled laborers who were compensated for their work.

Why do you pretend monetary compensation for labour performed doesn't **currently* exist?

he doesn't argue he just posts memes that he thinks furthers his argument

I always get bothered when someone pretends that the pyramids were built by slaves. But I suppose that some socialists do not make a meaningful distinction between slaves, serfs, and wage laborers.

Socialists think that all of those things are the same.

How would a NEET know the difference though?

Even if you are compensated for your work, you are a slave, according to these people.

You need to have a job to truly know

I see it as a Mix of Labor, you gotta have skilled labor to do all the detailing and putting shit in place. Then you need the unskilled worker to make my fucking bricks and move them or they get the lashes in the desert sand

But you see cumrad, if you ever existed in a viscinity of another person's tool, that tool must now become of your tool

So, we all gotta share the same exacto knife and paint brushes?

Fuck no

Erm, the pyramid slave thing came from judeo christian lore

is that just another lie?

Joker, its a joke.

Karl Marx was unable to see that social stratification is an example of the division of labor which is a cornerstone of civilization. Marxism is a fundamental rejection of the very foundation of civilization. How barbaric.

A guy standing around at a gas station counter isn't a slave, he gets paid to stand around and not have to think about anything.

I like to just imagine I have the craftsmen making my pyramid, I just get the slaves to make the bricks in the fashion of Dark Sun world. No water if you don't make my bricks

Pretty sure its well documented the pharoes used hebrew servants

when they couldn't use Hitites, at least

Kiwi

The pyramid slave thing is rejected by all main stream Egyptologist and Hebrews did not live in Egypt at the time that the pyramids were built.

ya

why did kyoani have to go, and not the studio that animates jojotrash
sad tbh

I just wanna imagine ancient earth as Dark Sun world okay. We all know how it really is, but lets just imagine its like dark sun world where everyone's evil lich psychics who built the pyramids and fought against bug men.

where midget cannibals roamed the desert sands

woooooow. Chistians and jews are more full of shit than even I thought

Weebs seem to be incapable of empathy

Curious

like for fucks sake, literally fabricating their own slave narrative

at least it actually happened to the blacks

Most serious Christian scholars don't believe that either.

I mean, romans kinda didn't care. They just enslaved anyone. You could even sell yourself into slavery

What really happened

indentured servitude is splitting hairs difference

mostly had to do with debt

no like it was real slavery

or honor system

no indentured shit

SPartans had legit slaves, tho

well yes rome had actual slavery, but they also had indenture

Like you could sell yourself into slavery as a means to prevent your whole family as a means of paying off entire debts owed. You could even trade your children.

Rome even allowed you as a family to have a vote and if it was unanimous you can legally kill X family member and decimate them from the history

whether one outweighed the other depends which era

were the ancient jewish kingdoms even real or was it all part of the story they told each other to reminisce as if they were descended from great kings?

legit question

I don't know, till I just looked it up now, prompted by ana, I thought it had merit

Ancient Israel did exist, but archeologists disagree on the details.

Indentured Servitude in Rome was more about swearing an oath to a patrician house for X seasons in exchange that they cover your debts, etc.

that would have been back when the republic was strong and democratic.

Israelite kings are attested in Assyrian and Moabite sources.

Its like telling the bank "I'll work for you, for like 7 summers. if you cover the debt. But I do my own thing outside of summer." and they shake

most my jewish history knowledge came from the bible stories in the old testament, and to me it all read like a bunch of tribes in small villages making up stories on how they used the be the biggest kingdom in all the land until they did an oopsie and angered their god

and the roman republic was not democratic

before caesar initiated perpetual dictatorship and colloseum games reigned

democratic-ish

I meant when the senate actually mattered

Literally the roman republic was just an Aristocratic gov't system with elected officials where the senate had most of the power. Plebs didn't even receive the vote till later

still better than unilateral dictatorship that came after

The problem with studying ancient Israel is that it's height of power is situated in the dark age following the Bronze Age Collapse, so there are few contemporary sources.

Caesar was the final dictator, his nephew became the 1st Emperor and didn't change much of the system's gov't power beyond placing Emperor above Consuls. The system didn't get fucked until after Augustus even.

plus Caesar ran the gov't like a populist and kept ensuring the people got shit. He basically got ganked in all reality as the senate saw him as being disrespectful as he had terrible diarrhea according to some versions of the story and he wouldn't stand at that specific meeting because he would have shit himself

imagine the last few meetings you got up and left to shit because you had diarrhea and people got pissed with you to the point where if you did it this time, or even stand because they demand it, you shit yourself. Imagine how bad it has to be if you're suffering from essentially dysentery over the past 3 days, and get stabbed for it.

well that's..... an interesting way of looking at it

the other way would be he installed himself into power by marching the army on the city itself

an act no legitimate government can survive for long

He did march into the city and declare himself dictator, i'm not denying it. As Pompey even declared himself dictator before he took it himself

Becoming dictator as a title isn't hard. Dictator was even a title traded off between consuls when one left to go to war and had to stay out for long periods of time, the other became dictator and they traded.

Caesar's reason was that pompey was a dickhead who took the glory for his actions in Gaul, that's why he marched across and went to civil war.

true enough, but they voluntarily vacated the title when their time was up

Caesar said "nah, its me, period."

He was no Nero, but still
