>he didn't start with the Etrurians

>>15235702
>etrurians
???
You mean etruscans?

>>15235702
>Resuming with the Romans
>Not continuing with the Chinese

Is it wrong that I have no desire to engage with literature after the romans because everything afterwards was just a giant jewish psyop as they methodically captured the west?

>>15235723
the Jews are good.

>>15235714
Apparently both are correct. But yeah, Etruscans is more common.

Also this is now a /clas/ thread. What are you currently reading? Just started Appian's account of the Civil Wars.

If you know nothing about the etrurians, you clearly don't know everything about the Romans. Get back to studying, you lazy bum.

The jews fuckibg hated jesus and thought he was doing them what you thing they're doing to you. Jesus also heavily preached against the hording of material wealth, a big no-no for the jews

>>15235793
You realise that Jesus died good 600 years before the fall of Rome, right?
>inb4 implying Rome ever fell

>>15235702
The Romans adopted a lot of stuff from the Etruscans, wtf are you you retarded? Even the Aeneid at least mentions them. You know everything about the Romans, but you haven’t read the Aeneid?

>>15235793
Haha yes that's why they just kept pushing them towards other countries so they could ruin the whole of europe right? They hated the jews! Guess which civilization destroyed their temples? Christcucks love jews.

>>15235834
Jews love christcucks even more. A christcuck is a man pacified, docile and ready to serve

>>15235834
>just kept pushing them towards other countries so they could ruin the whole of europe right
The christians kept banishing the jews from everywhere
Fucking hell, the hanging of a jew was treated like a party, there's even a story about bach playing music at one
You may just have schizophrenia

How come they weren't ever genocided before nazi germany?

>>15235873
Because genocide is fucking hard to do, especially when you don't have modern tools
There were plenty of massacres though(here's a famous one https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.haaretz.com/amp/jewish/.premium-1189-long-live-the-king-death-to-jews-1.532901))

The Rhineland massacres come to mind, but true genocides are very rare throughout history. They had all of this coming btw.

>>15235793
This is true but most of the church (Especially the Vatican) was corrupted

>>15235861
>there's even a story about bach playing music at one
any more information about this?

>>15235702
Your Dad probably said that because I bet you act like hot shit and try to lord it over them that you read books by a bunch of millenia year old homosexual pedophiles.

>>15235941
Nah he's a blowhard by nature

>>15235935
There's no verification that that actually happened, but his saint john's passage is famously anti-jew and he was also a die hard lutheran(luther fucking hated jews) so it's likely that he was anti-semitic

>>15235702
Nobody knows anything about the Etruscans, or at least where they came from. You're excused.

>>15235965
wrong

It seems strange that you would claim to know all about Romans without knowing anything about the Etruscans. Honestly, I don't even know if Rome would have developed the way it did if they never encountered the Etruscans.

>>15235965
Honestly, 90% of human history before the invention of the camera is just a combination of larp, propaganda, lies, misinformation, bias, and missing facts. The history after the camera is the same but with cool visuals.

>>15235702
Not big on Lawrence but enjoyed this book (Sea and Sardinia is also good)- at a quick 185 pp it may be a good place to get your bearings

>tfw know everything about the greeks and romans
Great you must've read tons of boo-
>thank to /lit/
Oh no, it's retarded

>>15235723
>he thinks the romans weren't their puppets too
OHNONONONONO

>>15236689
Only the empire, republic was B&R

>>15236697
The republic was a backstabbing shithole that deserved to die

>>15236713
Late Republic, yeah. But Punic Wars era Rome was peak civilization (barring some rotten apples here and there).

>>15236713
GET OUT CATALINE YOU TRAITOROUS SON OF A WHORE

Your dad sounds like every other pseud wanker on here. Show him this place.

>>15235723
Yes.
Furthermore, it should make no difference to you either way. You belong neither to the Romans, nor to the old Hellenes. So, you would be reading foreigners either way, if you were to understand it as you do.

>>15235702
How do you know everything about Romans if you do not know about Etruscans?

>>15237601
What if he's greek or italian? Fuck, I belong to both but i could only feel a deep connection with the Greeks.

>>15237633
He would still be reading foreigners, because they lived in world whose spiritual order was completely different. It would be the same if he was German and read Nibelungenlied. He would still be reading foreigners, because none of that spiritual order remains. Although one feels sympathy and kinship, the writer is a foreigner.
I do not feel the same feeling with literature and philosophy from the later half of the nineteenth century. They share this world somewhat, one understands them without being puzzled and thinking about it particularly.

>>15237627
>etruscans

Doesn't even know about etrurians

>>15237713
It is also the equivalent of "Etrurians" in my language, but I am writing the post in English.

>dad sees a documentary once in a life time
>it's "the one" documentary he can use to make his son seeth.
