@diversity_is_racism "Effect" as well, although Rome would have fallen with or without Constantine's acceptance/mainstreaming. However, the economic model of conquest was also baked in the same cake.

@diversity_is_racism I installed BRAVE

@Maarat how many did you take? Perhaps you are very sensitive to acetominophen. Did you hallucinate spiders all morning?
@diversity_is_racism One of my favorite history teachers often said that in the colonial days, European powers viewed all resources as being linear. I don't know if that is true given agriculture and everything but, he said they were especially desperate because once the resources were gone, they were gone for good. Forever and ever. With mining this makes sense but, how much of their proposed resources were metals?

@diversity_is_racism Should we be like ExCathedra and start thinking about a new religion for a new Epoch?

good evening from finland

Good evening. How late is it there?

@Metalheim Good evening.

@-A The resources of conquest - specifically metals and wood were (maybe are) linear

constantine did not cause rome to fall

jeebus made rome stronger

as it gave them unity

and made a new religion around the emperor

while adopting the common mystery religion and neo-platonic thought

making jesus take the plce of all the gods

made perfect sense

one god, one son, one emperor

one logos, one orthodoxy

@MRB but trees can grow back.

@-A Not as fast as they were being used for infrastructure, war, etc.

Specifically what was required for ship keels at the time.

@MRB I see. That did make things quite desperate then. Especially what with those Crusades and such.

@Maarat Not to mention that whole "perfect man" biz.

hi all. i've been a fan of brett steven's work for nearly 10 years now. met some great people along the way and very happy to see more socializing going on everywhere. looking forward to chatting now and then. cheers.

Cheers.

AAAAAAAnd radio silence once a bright eyed and bushy tailed enthused fellow comes along. Gotta love the morale.

lol

So, gentleman, plans to take over the world?

Every day. Then I hit the morning commute and say fuck it.

That is some cynical realism right there. Perhaps we can locate the weak links in Occidental security, gather disaffected Euros and make appointments with the Aristocrats left standing? I am pretty mellowed out but, I still got a lot of rage in me.

Pass the matches.

We can lure the yoofs with some good old datura spiked alcohol and granny strippers parading them to cages on ships headed for Africa. They can thank us for the drinks and free rides in the form of reduced costs on wholesale coffee and chocolate.

I'm really waiting to see what/how ANTIFA gets spun for their latest antics. Call me an optimist here, but I think there's a lot to work with.

They just need the corpse of Mao hung around their necks

Expose them for the communists they actually are.

Let the normies sort them out while we sort the normies

hey mao was doing it for political power

most antifa are just losers

If we do the outing, we will be the heroes. It is kind of like when you leave a cat stuck in your room with the AC off all day on accident and your dumbass cousin tries to "console" her through the crack of the door. That cat won't care if YOU locked her in, just that YOU let her out.

who don't get that mao was ful of shit

brimming

all commies were bourgeois and nobles.
