Throwing it like a damn ape

There's a reason the turks rolled them

>Most were by Jews, Barbarians, and other outside forces

Not surprising in the least

In any case that doesn’t make the state inherently materialistic

The state was deeply Christian. That is a fact.

What the fuck are you talking about it was the centre of trade in the east

Of course it was decadent

Having good trade doesn’t make you materialistic

You absolute retard

>Making and acquiring currency doesn't make you materialistic

I'm the retard here clearly

Indeed you are

Sick comeback dude

Having wealth does not make you materialistic

If you have wealth you will want more

It is what you do with said wealth that makes you materialistic

That is the nature of having wealth

Not at all

>fascist
>reactionary
>christian

yikes.

read marinetti

No

No that would be a differing opinion

Also going back to the Civil wars for a second do you not know what a fucking civil war is?

It wasn't just barbarians, Jews, and outside forces

It was themselves mostly

Do you not realize that the Romans had taken over Jewish and Barbarian territories, and were quite prone to revolts?

Shit happened very often in Roman times

Yeah and

They very famously forced assimilated the celts

And massacred the jews

Why do you deny history?

You can actually just read this shit

There is nothing wrong with either of those

Celts acted like barbarians

Jews were, well doing what Jews do

But how does that does that clear the Byzantines of civil warring themselves into being weak

Because of material gains

Again, they weren’t warring themselves directly

It was barbarians and Jews getting pissy because they didn’t want to be a part of east rome
