Date: August 9th, 2026 12:55 PM Author: Geriatric haunted graveyard nibblets Ancient Rome, responding to your poast:
“Maybe it’s my fault. Maybe I made you think our imperial majesty was built on flash and not fire. That my highlights started on the battlefield, and not the strength of our people, economy, virtue. That our history was built on pomp and not endurance. That our reign of 1,000 plus years was the product of luck and not resilience and ingenuity. Maybe it’s my fault. Or maybe, you’re just making excuses.”

Date: August 9th, 2026 2:30 PM Author: Pea-brained keepsake machete school Your claim is about whether something called "Chinese civilization" remained the same thing across thousands of years.

Date: August 9th, 2026 2:37 PM Author: gerstern Chinks do this all the time to try to suggest greater civilizational continuity than actually existed. They elide numerous time periods and often competing states. They have nothing approaching what was done with Rome, Great Britain, and now the American Imperium. And they need to be called out about it mercilessly. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5890958&forum_id=2#50055423) |

Date: August 9th, 2026 2:40 PM Author: Pea-brained keepsake machete school They are just defining everything that ever happened in that region as "china".

Date: August 9th, 2026 2:42 PM Author: gerstern Correct. And it’s important to maintain the western prerogative to continuously vociferously remind them of this when they try to hand wave “Chinese Civilization.” Ideally we should do these lectures from bases as close to their mainland as possible.

Date: August 9th, 2026 2:45 PM Author: Domesticated jade stage knife The Chinese writing system was developed specifically because Chinese people have always spoken a multitude of languages, and they needed a writing system that was universally intelligible.
lol@ you thinking Chinese people used to all speak the same language. Just lol |

Date: August 9th, 2026 2:50 PM Author: Pea-brained keepsake machete school This is like arguing Europe was a single continuous civilization because the Roman alphabet is still used.

yeah because I definitely said that |
|
Date: August 9th, 2026 2:52 PM Author: Domesticated jade stage knife No it isn't, because you can't pick up an old Roman scroll and read it without extensive training, whereas Chinese people living today can read Confucius without assistance.

Date: August 9th, 2026 3:04 PM Author: Pea-brained keepsake machete school It isn't true to begin with. Oracle bone chinese takes even more training to learn to decipher than roman cursive, and even experts still can't agree on all of it (or much of it can't decipher at all). At least moderns can read Roman capitals with no training. He is probably comparing a modern typeset version of confuscius with a Roman papyrus. Also even if any of it were true it doesn't establish civilizational continuity. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5890958&forum_id=2#50055469) |
