I regret to inform you that, obscured by the unique alphabet, Georgian is not a real language. It doesn’t pass the Dutch test.

@PaxTubeOfficial "Existed in one form or another for thousands of years" is a strange way to say "not existed." There's no standard by which you can have both an antique Iran but not Israel.
English
What we’re seeing in the Middle East is a battle between genuine civilization and artificial states. Iran has existed in one form or another for thousands of years. They’re being supported by Russia and China, whose civilizations also go back 1,000+ years.
Against them are the artificial entities brought about by the Sykes-Picot Treaty of 1916. The UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan. Lead by the mother of all fake, artificial, counterfeit entities - Israel.

I read Coulanges and thought the ancient were even more based and saw the religious axial turn as proto woke commie atheism.

@ArchysLife It is nonetheless quite interesting how relatively unique Europe was with the frequency of female sovereigns, which I suspect has something to do with monogamy, seeing as they were completely absent when concubinage was still common before the 11th century.
English
@ArchysLife Indeed but part of what he says also isn't far from the norm, the husband would be taken as the natural ruler. Geoffrey Plantagenet is why Matilda was rejected, or look at how Sigismund and Jogaila took up Hungary and Poland from the sisters Mary and Jadwiga respectively.
English
The "only men are fit to rule" shtick that is hyper-common among today's evangelical right is quite alien to the Western tradition. I have to presume it originated as a kneejerk reaction to rising female emancipation from the first quarter of the 20th century onward.

She needs to marry and then her husband should be crowned king Only men are fit to rule

@klara_sjo @SirMoxley It's not, it adds a superfluous, unknown & unexplained entity. It is not to be preferred.

On reflecting on the idea of the very ancient(some thousands of years) dynasties in A Song of Ice and Fire...
Even the Capetian line that ruled France until 1848 was nearly 1000 years on the throne, their first king being in 888 and the father of that king being a great lord.

@alicenotmiller Which is to say the difference between the two is not the kyi- part, but the ev/iv suffix, of which the change to -i- is an oukrainian innovation.
English
@alicenotmiller Kiev is Kiyev though. Suddenly not so different.
English
The legend about the foundation of Kyiv tells the story about Kyiv's founders: brothers Kyi, Khoryv, Shchek and their sister Lybid.
The city was named after Kyi, the elder brother.
There was no "Kie" but Kyi. Calling it "Kiev" is both imperialistic and factually incorrect.
Friendly Sperg 🏴@NobodySperg
@mariesoutofcon Kiev is the name for the city in English. Kyiv is the name in Ukrainian. We don't call Germany Deutschland because that's not it's English name. Kiev or similar transliterations is the name in 14 languages in Europe alone, not just English.

@erufutsuinteiru @CriteriaGawr Identifying raped failnormies. Yep it's a raped failnormie.

These men were driven nuts by their fathers and instead of breaking the cycle they just turn their kids into gays and lesbians. You’d think creating life changes someone because even if materially cynical, you do have stake in the future.

This man complains that his daughter stays in her room all day and doesn’t enjoy talking to him and his wife. Whenever she does come down for food or water, he’s always reminding her that when she turns 18 either she can move out or pay rent. I never understood why people do this as a scare tactic to teach kids responsible. Is it possible that his interactions like this is actually damaging his relationship with his daughter. Isn’t he giving her a vibe that he doesn’t want her around or is this a part of teaching her responsibility?
English
@erufutsuinteiru @CriteriaGawr Instead turned into a raped failnormie. Quite the achievement.

@CriteriaGawr Videogames saved me from turning into a raped normie.

@Smooshborn @TankZZ5 There's more than just one way to skin a cat. There are good and bad ways to convey an idea. If your chosen way makes you look like a pathetic idiot, it's from the bad ones and you should rethink. Have some fucking standards.

@TankZZ5 Why are we acting like we don't understand what it's trying to convey

@ElephantHistory Previous republicanism tended to have an emphasis on religion and godly government much stronger than contemporary monarchies. Only with the French revolution did the republicanism-secularism nexus come into being and become the norm.
English
1 million dollar question:
What distinguished the French Revolution with earlier republican attempts? (Think English Commonwealth and Dutch Republic under Jan de Witt)
English
...the church was and how tied to government conversion was.
To the point that losing local puppet rulers was tantamount to the local church control collapsing in places like Thuringia. And how guys like Boniface were effectively royal agents.
English
Christians are always going to say they were justified and the texts from their perspective are never going to frame it that way.
I'm reading what is actually said.
For example, the churches in Frisia were because of a hostile incursion into Frisia by the Franks.
Philippe LeJeune@havestandardspl
@ColonelMongke3 @GraniRau People can read the text themselves as I presented posted them and will see that the Christians were justified.

@Medvetenheten3 Believe it or not people long past had different values and priorities, not that the picture makes any sense to begin with.
