muh feels, apparently

>Nigga, do you know how many fucking times that has been said throughout history?
this

adding to that, sick of hearing people declare "kids these days" are ruining everything.

in fact, any statement that includes the phrase "these days" is irritating as fuck

I don't consider killing yourself for the emperor very manly just fanatical.

Dying for the Emperor could be manly, assuming that your deeds were honorable. Crashing into a fucking ship, or at least trying to, so that you could pointless extend a lost war was not honorable; just desperate.

The US made the right choice in bombing them. MacArthur should have done more to humble the Emperor.

Ben Carson says Egyptian pyramids were grain stores, not pharaohs' tombs

University are affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. In an interview with CBS (cbsnews.com/news/ben-carsons-unusual-theory-about-pyramids/), Carson stated, "It's still my belief, yes [...] the pyramids were made in a way that they had hermetically sealed compartments....You would need that if you were trying to preserve grain for a long period of time."

This is verbatim from his 1998 speech:

>"My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids in order to store grain. And all the archeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs’ graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big if you stop and think about it. And I don’t think it’d just disappear over the course of time to store that much grain. And when you look at the way that the pyramids are made, with many chambers that are hermetically sealed, they would have to be that way for a reasons."

According to CBS, the basis for Carson's belief is a reference from Genesis to the seven years of plenty, when "Joseph stored up grain in great abundance like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it, for it was beyond measure." In the Bible, Joseph fed Egypt and the rest of the world during the seven years of drought that followed.

Crashing a plane into a ship takes a few minutes of fanaticism, then it's over.

Doing something that will make you ostracized for the rest of your life and sticking to it takes decades of pain and will keep testing you. Waifuism is the most true expression of iron willpower and courage.

Speaking of the Pyramids.

>"THEY WUZ BUILT BY DA JOOZ"

Every time I hear someone say this I cringe.

>Willingness to sacrifice your life for the sake of a man you never met and the nation isn't manly even though you aren't even forced to do it
So this is the... power of western """"""values""""""

People who defend the internet and think of it as a good thing mostly, and call people who disagree luddites.

You see that a lot here and on reddit.

This. I hate this stupid picture so fucking much.

>Broad generalisations about ethnic groups
>followed by an attempt to rationalize said generalisations with cherrypicked examples and flinging the burden of proof to you so you have to "disprove" said generalizations

No fuck you. "The Germans" are not bent on destroying Europe, "The Japanese" are not mindless drones, "The Americans" aren't imperialist fatsos etc.
Either discuss specific examples or stop being an autistic parrot.

Nope. Not under those circumstances.

The Emperor knew that the war was fucking over, his people were starving to death as a nation and America's bombing campaign had shown itself to be impervious to any sort of defense they could muster. Even the Caesars bowed, so could that limp dick.

I dont know about "good" - that can have a lot of definitions - but I do think the internet is impresive. A real peak of human achievement.

What's wrong with the internet?

>wiliness
they were indoctrinated and brainwashed

I don't like it when people look at cat pictures. Therefore, it is immoral.

I cringe whenever someone does "We Wuz" bullshit. I understand it's mostly all tongue in cheek, but for fuck sakes the people who actually believe it are disturbingly stupid.

There are so many downsides. It's intrusive, loss of privacy, the distribution and demand for harmful pornography, social media navel gazing, toxic echo chambers, a tool for disinformation. And contrary to the claim that people are more intelligent because we have all this information at our finger tips - it's just not true. People are still very uneducated, which shows that just because people have easier access to information doesn't mean they're going to bother to use it.

THIS SO FUCKING MUCH

REAL LIFE IS NOT POLANDBALL

>In this battle that happened hunders of years before i was born WE did really great!

Generalizations are tools. As long as one understands that and treats them as such, instead of as perfect descriptions of reality, they are fine. "Germany" as a political actor is a different entity from Hans the random German and the way to deal with the first tells us nothing on how to deal with the second.

I know, I meant the person who treats nationalities like monolithic entities based on stereotypes. I fully agree with you.

>"Christianity didn't do anything good, only bad things came out of it"

How about "Thicc times create hard men"?

>"Islam didn't do anything good, only bad things came out of it"

>Everything is better post-WW2.
>Everything is better post Sexual Revolution

Just end them already.

I don't see what is so controversial about the notion that adversity (so long as not completely overwhelming) makes us stronger and too much comfort makes us weaker.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revanchism

because while adversity may make a very small minority stronger, for the vast majority adversity makes us significantly weaker. for every cunning, street-smart survivor living in a modern shithole there are 100 crippled and impoverished addicts, junkies and wasters.

>Akshully, Stalin was just as bad IF NOT WORSE THAN Hitler
>Germany was on the defensive in WW1
>In the middle ages, peasant armies took up arms to fight for their nation
>Sex outside of marriage rarely happened before the sexual revolution

>France hasn't been a militarily successful since Napoleon!
>Man, why would anybody like Sparta when the Athenians had so much culture!
>Roman history ends with Nero and begins again with Constantine the Great
>Ancient Egypt and China were unchanging Monolithic states that continuously built Pyramids/Palaces until the Romans/Muslims/Mongols conquered them

Except Japanese masculinity reached its height after WWII with Mishima's attempted coup.

What is this based on? A game of CivIII?

Because it's fucking wrong. While it may be true that territorial loses has the potential to spur radical shifts in military and governmental organization, it doesn't mean it actually will. And even if it does, this once more does not mean you will be able to reverse those loses inflicted upon you. See below.

You're an idiot. It's literally just waxing on about the glory days in an attempt to get people to kill themselves. I am actually glad that whoever made that Wiki page didn't have the gall to mention the massive, and repeated, battles for land reclamation that the Eastern Empire undertook. All that adversity and shit made them stronger as a people. I mean, they're still around, right?

This notion is as true as the notion about how shit times makes the shitty people which is the known vicious circle in third world countries i.e. society is disfunctional because of corruption, people believe that corruption is only way to live, society turn out to be even more corrupted, and so on. There is no simple mechanism of things are worse now so we are somehow by default better than before.

> Sex outside of marriage rarely happened before the sexual revolution
As if prostitution was invented 50 years ago, lmao.

Someone couldn't handle /int/'s banter.

>Sex outside of marriage rarely happened before the sexual revolution

Who the hell says this one? Besides Incels.

Every r9k guy...

I see it a lot on Veeky Forums, which is annoying. I guess there's a sizeable contingent of insecure retards staying there.

Right, besides Incels.

I always thought that medieval wars did have a significant peasant militia component. Am I wrong?

half of these are true

No, you're not wrong
You are wrong in the half of that sentences

Testosterone levels have indeed declined like crazy since WW2. That statement you attempted to ridicule holds therefore some truth. Now you have only madde a fool of yourself, OP.

>>Sex outside of marriage rarely happened before the sexual revolution

Sex outside marriage happened. Nobody denies that.

The average girl (as opposed to marginalized outliers) having 10 different cocks inside her before 30 didn't.

The cock carousel is a modern invention.

Go whiteknight somewhere else, beta cuck.

what I love about this picture is the fact that reddit-tier morons unironically believe this to be true

Heres my Veeky Forums pet peeve: morons who think testosterone is a magic 'manliness' drug that is completely positive.

High testosterone levels without similarly high levels of supporting secondary hormones are purely dangerous. It can cause paranoia, memory problems, stunt your growth, heart problems, etc.

Even with the secondary hormone increases testosterome can cause balding and mood swings, as well as being correlated with blood pressure problems.

Testosterone levels on their own arent a good way to measure how much of a 'real man' someone is.

iirc they were part time soldiers, part time farmers, like the armies of Republican Rome. they also had professional man at arms. peasant levies were just a waste that would die: you wanted peasants working to bring your income, not trying to get them to stand in a line.

most medieval conflict was smaller scale as well and could last a long time, and primarily was about using raids, which meant bloating your force with shitty chaff did nothing but give you logistical nightmares.

You are completely retarded if you think promiscuity is a modern invention. Holy fuck.

Go outside, get laid, throw out your fedora. It'll make you feel better.

FIGHT ME

Generalized, socially accepted promiscuity is.

Now go take care of your girlfriend's son, I'm sure he needs something.

If promiscuty exist since ever, why is called promiscuty and no just sex?

Checkmate sluts

> cock carousel
Was never real and doesn't exist today.

Because sex is an act and promiscuty is behavior, retard.

its just another word for whoring around which women objectively do today and in the past as well

>ill call him a cuck while making unsubstantiated statements I "feel" are true!

>there isn't anything wrong with women being sexually free? You misogynistic fedora virgin! xDD

Far more women do it today than before.

wow! you really shown us.

Promiscuty=polygamy!=West Civilization

>Testosterone levels on their own arent a good way to measure how much of a 'real man' someone is.

then what is, there's a massive correlation with high test levels and masculine traits like athleticism, facial hair, wealth acquisition, risk taking, ...

...

>Using history as a political tool to further your agenda, rather than studying it for its academic merits

>I'll call him names because it will make me forget how much of a cuck I am!

> Promiscuty=polygamy
It isn't. Check meaning of words, before pulling the equations out of your ass.

masculinity is an honor/shame based normative system that dictates socially acceptable male behavior, and varies accordingly

Being a real men means that you are providing to your children. The more your provide to more children the more real man you are.

I see /pol/ has arrived. What took you guys so long?

The trouble with Veeky Forums is that I can never tell if these r9k types are joking or not.
