You do know Caracalla granted on free men in the empire Roman citizenship, he himself being of Semitic extraction. Hmmm, remind you of someone? He is generally not regarded as one of the good ones.
Dominic James
Rome was also an Empire that did not have universal suffrage of all shitskins. It also didn't have forced equality and egalitarianism. Oh gee, what a fucking surprise. You can have your multi-ethnic empire if it's ruled over as an Empire.
And even that is ignoring the fact that one of the main reasons (western) Rome collapsed is because of mass immigration of g*rmanics.
Adam Harris

After 1000 years, which is a pretty good run. And they were destroyed by the Master Race of Germans no less.

Skin Tone and race had no bearing because all Mediterraneans and North Africans were so close genetically that you couldn't distinguish between them. A Roman was indistinguishable between a North African or Egyptian, they were all tan in the summer and white in the winter.

1. Thats Caracalla who grew up in Gaul 2. His family was loaded on both sides, mom came from a family of intellects/preist-kings of Ba'al, dad was a roman emperor.
3. Most of the 5 Good Roman Emperors came from modern day spain.
4. Islam fucked everything up, North Africa gave us St.Ambrose and St. Augustine but the Arabs who settled down post conquest fucked it up
tl;dr you're an ignorant buffoon

It's worth mentioning that Tacitus considered the Romans their own superior race, Bronze in the summer and White in the winter, he referred to Romans as the superior race fit to conquer any climate in contrast to the Germans and Celts with their pale skin and fair hair.

And this. North Africa and the levant before Islam were a different race than they were after. Just look at Assad, who is from ancient unmixed Assyrians stock. Islam negrified most of the people there.

This is wrong, though. Studies of busts and frescos of Roman, Egyptian, etc rulers and nobility indicate that they were SEVERAL TIMES more likely to have blonde or red hair than the normal populace. Alexander the Great, for example, based purely on the surviving art, overwhelmingly indicate that he was heavily Nordic in ancestry, and relics in Sweden and Norway from the time indicate that the Nords had trade with civilizations as far away as China.

People who post this shit meme generally have 10% arab admixture. There are undeniably some real whites in Southern Europe, when the time comes tests will determine who can stay. If youre white youre white but a good look at the science says there will be a hell of a displacement.
Evan Price
I wouldn't care so much about the melting pot if Europe wasn't so fucked. The USA is basically doomed to be this nondescript nation full of people with indistinct identity just because of our location and demographics and history and government, so a kind of final amalgamation is pretty much inevitable here. All of our true traditional spiritual energy is misdirected away from true nationalism and toward corporatism so we really have no hope in that regard. Again, I'd be fine with this fate if the stock wasn't so compromised. If Europe was stable and we knew for sure that we'd still have white people in 300 years then I'd accept the fate of the USA and history would write it off as a one-off. That being said, Europe is in full cuckmode and there is no clear assurance of future European genetic stock anywhere in the world outside of a few Eastern European nations, so according to that fact, all white people across the globe should be cautious of racemixing. We don't know what the future holds for Europe so we all need to play it safe and not throw away the European legacy on a whim because of fleeting love or circumstance or location. We need to be in crisis-mode right now in regards to racemixing according to our situation.
If Europe weren't so fucked then I probably wouldn't mind marrying a Catholic Mexican chick to be honest but shit is hot right now.

They don't, you're retarded.
>St.Ambrose and St. Augustine Who cares about your theologians. These are not secular contributions.
They weren't. The genetic contribution of Arabs in the Maghreb is very small.
Assad is not from Assyrians. He's from the Western part of Syria. Assyrians come from Northern Iraq. The whole "Syrians were Assyrian" is a mistake that some Greeks made thinking that because Neo Assyrian spoke Aramaic, that places that were once ruled by Arameans were also Assyrian.
You're a retard. Pic related is former king of Saudi Arabia who looks more "white" than Assad.

1984 is an illustration. The principles apply, they're just never so pure & clear in real life.

that is a good point. Gives me a new perspective actually.
1984 is not really a depiction of a reality, but rather the underlying psychological framework in every man's mind that they can be controlled by.

>Byzantine Empire survived and flourished Oh really? What are the cultural, scientific or engineering achievements Byzantines did?
Hardmode: No Corpus Juris Civilis
Rome survived. Flourished though is an entirely different thing.
>A Roman was indistinguishable between a North African or Egyptian This is the stupidest thing in this page. Congrats.
Arabs are one of the most unchanged people genetically. This is a population that still practice cousin fucking till this day. No one is pure but Arabs are pretty close to keep lineal purity.
And no, Egyptians and North Africans, including the Punics, did not look like modern day Italians and Spaniards.
There is no great genetic contribution by Arabs into North Africa, specially North West Africa.
There are so many reasons why Rome fell. Let's not forget how the legions became degraded through auxiliaries, making many soldiers only loyal to their general and not Rome.
Generals developed a habit of marching into Rome and declaring themselves Emperor.
Let's not also forget how the bigger the empire got, the harder it was to manage. Let's not also forget how losing the legions in Teutenberg made the area essentially a black hole of resources and rebellion which was never really taken back.
or the constant Gaul sperging.
Ryder Sullivan

I'm not the one saying Christianity collapsed Rome. But there's no reason to think it was this amazing thing for Romans that somehow made it better.
It's not a surprise that Europe got better at science and technology as they got less religious. The "Byzantine world" was sitting on hundreds and thousands of year old knowledge and not doing anything with it. Now that partly has to do with Roman nature who weren't doing science or natural philosophy. Still, there was even less inquiries into various fields from the Byzantines.
Anyway, Rome collapsing is not a bad thing or maybe not even a good thing. Collapses happen. Blaming people for collapse assumes the collpase was bad. But this isn't obvious. Romans were not akin to Athens in terms to scientific contributions or care and later people were much better at this.
Levi Brown
Also Greek fire is not really a contribution. Its use was only military and had no construction good use outside of it. For example when people think of America, they don't think of aircraft carriers as a contribution to mankind. However they do think as the internet as one, despite it being made by the military.
Alexander Perry
military technology is still a big deal and it is a culmination and application of their engineering techniques for specific purpose.
We have computers. We have boats. We have radar and communications.
Let's combine all of that together for a specific purpose, being aircraft carriers. It's a display of their knowledge.
Look a little into the article. Naturally it requires air pressure and the recipe is still unknown today due to how secret it was.
Jose Nelson
Read my post again. I specifically brought up two military technologies to show that one becomes useful for many things while the other doesn't.
Greek fire didn't become useful outside of warfare. And its use in warfare was limited and often exaggerated.
Anyway the fact that you're obsessing about Greek Fire, a pretty useless technology outside of warfare, shows desperation when it comes to arguing that Byzantines were "flourishing".
>air pressure and the recipe is still unknown today due to how secret it was. Cool but that's not a contribution.
Caleb Ramirez
>military technology doesn't contribute to general technology
are you serious?
Landon King
North Africa and the Levant were both occupied by whites back in the roman times.... Get these historically ignorant faggots out of here.
Jason Thomas
They don't always contribute you retard. Not all technologies are the same. That's the whole point of the previous 2 points. Not all military technologies contribute. The Greek Fire certainly didn't.
Oh so you're done googling. Good, you should have done that long before and saved time.
Let's go through all of them instead of just believing anything you see on the internet.
>Cross-in-square
Cool for Christians. Not sure how it benefits anyone. Interesting variation in architecture but not so new or with significant impact to classify it as contribution.
>Pendentive dome Now that's a possible contribution since such domes were later adopted by Turks. However, Pendentive domes were a product of Persians.
>Pointed arch bridge
Cool but this isn't a contribution. Aqueducts are. This is just a variation.
>Counterweight trebuchet:
First instance of it is by Mardi ibn Ali al-Tarsusi, not by Niketas Choniates. It's hard to say if Niketas account is first despite his account being of a previous use in late 1000s because it wasn't a primary account. Niketas wasn't there when he noted this new trebuchet. Mardi did live during the time of this type of tebruchet's use according to his writing.
>Hand-trebuchet
Interesting but it doesn't seem to have contributed to another technology or been used for long.
>Greek fire Already talked about it.
Grenades are a contribution. It seems greek fire was an inspiration but its closely guarded secret meant it wasn't a contribution.
>ship mill That's a contribution. Congrats.
The rest is subjective contributions that lies with cultural feels rather than simply pragmaticism. Icons? Who cares.
So the only thing that is a contribution is really the ship mill. I guess Byzantine empire can now be called the Ship mill civilization. I'm sure this is a big victory for Christians like Peanut Butter is for blacks.
