@Mithridaticus What kind of retarded ignorant you are to conflate Shinto and Buddhism?

[JohnnyB.Gs @GsJohnnyb]

@Tom_Rowsell @romanhelmetguy @firasmodad rituals are for any Indo-European religion, same with keeping alive the traditional knowledge.

Destroying both in one fell swoop for political expediency is even more brutal than what the Franks did with the Saxons.

[JohnnyB.Gs @GsJohnnyb]

@Tom_Rowsell @romanhelmetguy @firasmodad And in the case of the Druids, separating politics from religion is impossible. To this day, our best sources about druids are from Caesar, and so we know they knew how important Druids for their rituals.

As a pagam, you know way more than me how important and vital proper -

@cha1rmak3r @Maribet62481007 @romanhelmetguy Why does your banner say soli invicto when all you've done was lose for two thousand years?

[JohnnyB.Gs @GsJohnnyb]

@Tom_Rowsell @romanhelmetguy @firasmodad Also what the Romans did in Mona/Anglesey was targeted religious and moral destruction.

[JohnnyB.Gs @GsJohnnyb]

@Tom_Rowsell @romanhelmetguy @firasmodad You can do better than that. The Romans were keenly aware that they were destroying the only source of knowledge for almost all and deepest rituals that the Celts engaged on, due to how knowledge was passed.

[JohnnyB.Gs @GsJohnnyb]

@Tom_Rowsell @romanhelmetguy @firasmodad Also if the Romans shoving their own syncretism over Celtic sites is good then Christians baptizing temple's and making them Churches is equally good.

@8EyedEel From the beginning of Western Zhou until the unification, the entire Chinese philosophy is a fight against hereditary privileged, ironically setting that only the Emperor deserves it, and even then isn't guaranteed. The literati/knights/shi won the war against landed nobility

[JohnnyB.Gs @GsJohnnyb]

@Tom_Rowsell @romanhelmetguy @firasmodad This smells of cope. Because we do know that those "shrieking monkey christians" respected paganism a lot more than the pious Romans did the ancestral Druidic cult. No targeted mass rapes and massacres of priests.

[JohnnyB.Gs @GsJohnnyb]

@Tom_Rowsell @HeraldOfRome @romanhelmetguy @firasmodad But they had a loooot more than the average Germanic pagan, and calling Judaism devoid of philosophy is... a take.

@cartographer_s I dislike how it starts with the First Dynasty. We have overwhelming evidence for the Warring States, and somewhat for Autumn and Spring, and a bit for Zhou (with little but still there for Shang). At least we got a few great books about those recently.

@blackmyth983046 Motherfucker really is here claiming he reads classical Chinese straight from the source but can't name them. These Chinese retards really need to stop spazzing so much. Your country begged for five and a single Korean won the war more than your army, who then get raped by nomads

[JohnnyB.Gs @GsJohnnyb]

@blackmyth983046 @loongshih Japan lost the war because it couldn't win the naval part. That's literally one of Turnbulls main points. The Chinese didn't win the war lmao. They even begged for a ceasefire and agreed to a ceasefire that left Japan with the southern part of the peninsula.

[JohnnyB.Gs @GsJohnnyb]

@blackmyth983046 @loongshih you have no direct records. you're just spazzing.

[JohnnyB.Gs @GsJohnnyb]

@blackmyth983046 @loongshih why instead of showing that you went with a GEMINI, of all IAs, summaries, one that doesn't even agree with your points. None of them talks about cavalry (of which Japan was notoriously bad). The artillery is you just quoting turnbull, probably the only book you read about it

[JohnnyB.Gs @GsJohnnyb]

@loongshih you're not wrong that any Spanish conquest would've relied heavily on natives though, and such alliances, but I think that if there's one thing that Chinese history shows, is how easily it breaks and falls into local warlords when the center weakens

[JohnnyB.Gs @GsJohnnyb]

@loongshih Since from their First Emperor on, they kept having lunatics. The fact that they built a sophisticated war machine to face Japan and completely dismantled it soon after the war ended, despite the Nomad threat, shows how unstable and unreliable it was.
