could be a peek golden year
History moves alot faster today than it did 2000 years ago, so I'm not sure it even makes sense to measure the life-span of empires in years, or even try to find some consistent life-span.
but the paralells between America and the Roman Empire are significant
I don't think so, America is much more complex and stable
but wealth inequality and social degeneracy are concerning
@wizzy The guy who made that document calls himself a marxist. However, I've read through the document before, and it doesn't look bad. Very good material and chronology for introductory philosophy.
As someone that already has somewhat of an undergraduate-level understanding of philosophy, there was still a lot of useful knowledge (there is other good information too, such as which publishers to avoid when purchasing books and why).
Has anyone else read through the /lit/ philosophy document?
I haven't
Is it good?

A very useful book I've found myself using is "How to Read a Book" (by Mortimer Adley).
Here's it is for anyone interested (if you want another format, ask)
Socrates views on borders and citizenship (he was the first CUCK of the West) :

We've had some discussion in <#362535345146953728> on making a list for reading. We need a service that allows members of this service to add and sort books by subject.
This should allow room for some chronology of books (like understanding different types of political ideas) and notes to guide people unfamiliar with those topics. The google document above is what may serve as a source of ideas for how to do this sort of organizing, I suppose.
The wanting seed is about an over populated world and the fall out because of it.
Homosexuality is publicly practiced by everyone since the state enforces it to limit the population
eventually there's anarchy and everyone begins to eat each other
and finally a new government again comes back and begins a pointless war
You've read it yourself already?
@User yeah, I enjoyed it
it has a subtext that feels fitting for this group
Sounds like it is worth giving a read.
>Overpopulation
>It's all the white man's fault!
>White people should have less children haha!
>European countries facing population decline
>We need immigrants!
We should declare war for environmental reasons
Cull gooks and indians
declare war on lesser races
because are apes truly worthy of mankind's achievements
@Ammianus Marcellinus the arguement is always made through a point of pollution, that white people's wealth means they consume much more and pollute much more
and that having less white children will make a more "green" world
it probably be better though if we changed our lifestyles to be more independent and take a step back from hyper consumerism
Still, the same liberals cheer when 3rd world countries become wealthier and consume more
The west is producing less children, why not replace them with Nigger savages? They will eventually become hyper consumerists, Is that not the end goal?
