@basedbinkie I think the most applicable comparison are Wild Boars. I heard a story of how Classical Greek City-States would ritually declare war on herds that grew destructive, mobilize the Citizen Militia, encircle them and cull them. Elves might just declare a one year war every century.
@CoelingAurochs The Material Cultures of even “barbarian” peoples was far richer than of subsequent centuries. It feels strange when the unknown warrior at Sutton Hoo has a helmet that looks Space Age in terms of artistic mastery compared to the Crown of the HRE, with hundreds of years between.
@BigDickBarclay Supposedly it was the Soviets that studied it, and the same studies that said they made better pilots also claimed they made better tankers, but in both cases it was only by incredibly marginal degrees and were suspiciously conducted when they needed more bodies to fight Germany.
@Kurt_Steiner I remember ages ago seeing the show and being absolutely baffled with the total lack of active guerrilla warfare or even mention of it. An America with the Civil War as a living memory physically could not surrender, regardless of what it’s government chose to do.
@realRaegenhere Stupid men and honorable men don’t become rich by grifting and mercantile. They become rich by bashing heads in. The rich of today would be paupers tomorrow if the strong simply stopped obeying the weak.
@TheConquerMM I think it is a false dichotomy. Even in staunchly monogamous societies the greatest men of history were bedding multiple women. Richard the Lionheart was devoted to his wife and also altered the gene pool of Europe and was having women brought to him on his deathbed.
@SubmissiveGoth4 Bravery should always be glorified. There are grown men who’d refuse to intervene in such a situation.
While children should never be in danger, life is neither fair or kind, and for brothers to defend their sisters without hesitation is right and should be taught.
@MogTheUrbanite In terms of purely tax revenue, more completely arbitrary taxes on necessary commodities in the name of combating climate change. For personal income, constantly threaten new taxes for major corporations so they pay more bribe money and more on “lobbying” for protections.
@SithRebranded This applies to anything with an embedded stink. Wash it, either by hand or with a machine, and then hang it outside while it’s still wet. Repeat until it’s gone. Sunlight kills bacteria that can survive soap, and bacteria is the source of stench.
@SubmissiveGoth4 It originated from Pagan Religions, that’s why Traditionalist Christians have even argued against practicing martial arts, since they have no Christian foundation. This is why no one takes them seriously.
@milkmaidalice The Imperium of Man endures because the Guard’s numbers are proportional to its willingness to sacrifice for an outcome they will never see. The Tyranny of the Imperium is for the only selfless objective in the goals of the galactic powers. This is what guarantees it’s victory.
@OrganicLiveFood Solar panels don’t last more than a decade before they have to be replaced and they’re completely non-recyclable. So most end up directly in landfills before they’ve generated more energy than it took to make them. They’re just as damaging as oils spills, just over more time.
@HumbledFemales I can’t speak for others, but I don’t see those as contradictory statements. I want to pay for everything my woman needs while she stays home and performs her duties.
What I don’t want is a woman to spend my money frivolously on shit she doesn’t need. So I control my money.
@HumbledFemales I believe there is some nuance to the issue. Tattoos are a form of artwork, and so a beautiful woman who has become a canvas of beautiful and meaningful art, is only enhanced by it. Yet a beautiful woman with meaningless, trivial, and ugly art on her skin is ruined by it.
@Natscan25 @white_wisterias Christianity does appear oppressive compared to the cult of liberalism, but women couldn’t own property in England until after Christianization. As far as Germanic Paganism is concerned, women are the property of their fathers until they wed. Warrior Cultures are not Egalitarian.
