Julius Caesar survives the assasination attempt, having most of the senate killed under criminal charges. His siezures become worse, and he literally becomes a puppet to Cleopatra, preserving the republic but leading a cessesion (with most the resources of the republic) of the new Caesarian...

Impossible. Their wrists are too thin to wield weaponry.

National Anarchism Full disclosure before I get into this: I have a weird history with these guys. My once best friend was something of an early adopter and went very much off the rails. The last conversation I had with him involved him telling me out of nowhere that Muslim rape gangs were...

Not really... not inherently on a doctrinal level (although imho Epicureanism is a better fit) but Taoism isn't a travelling or proselytising religion.

Although the comparison is often made, Platonism is in virtually every sense an antithesis to Buddhism.

Nothing about the content i want to adress, I think you've done a decent job :) What I would say, is firstly i don't recommend reading her work of fiction. They are not good, and whatever the ideology represents, it can be incredibly disturbing at times (I felt a bit nauseous reading the bit in...

I'm not sure what would happen, but I fo find the idea of Britain and France becoming radicalised quite plausible. Both put up with periods of great unrest in the interwar periods as the primary winners of WW1, a loss is going to see a hell of a lot more.

Those weird monotheists who responded to the death of a carpenter by eating his flesh and drinking his blood ;)

Alongside what the above have mentioned, Japanese armies traditionally liked wood/leather etc lattice like stuff to carry even prior to firearms because they could be set up very quickly as makeshift picket lines and redeployed easily too. I can't remember the name for it off the top of my head...

I think this has to be either future or asb related, only because whilst an earlier advancing human race is hardly impossible, Dyson Sphere levels of technology are currently beyond human understanding of how to achieve as is. Not sure where you got the prediction, but you can't reasonably put a...

So there are some major issues here, the most significant of which is the butterflying away of the Mormon faith by a pre-mormon POD. If we ignore that, we have the issue that this mega US is unlikely to have the Civil War happen in the same way or for the extra catholic immigration to be...

I think I very much have as I have seemingly conveyed completely the wrong message. To elaborate, my supposing RE the Book of Invasions wasn't along the lines of thinking that OTL a syncretic religion could have been anything major, but more commenting on the complete lack of anyone subscribing...

A post ww1 pod is way too late for such a movement to arrive. That isn't to say there were no weimar Technocracy advocates (I am unfamiliar with any but I imagine they existed) but that nothing in the technocracy message really jived with the political currents of the time. The Communists and...

Finally I have my answer for this saved! So here is a copypasta of mine from another thread... So there is a lot of potential for this OTL, one example being somewhat apocryphal and the other kind of weird in it's non acceptance otl. For the apocryphal version, there is a largely spread story...

Outside of a 1st French republic wank, can't see this happening. Not believing and believing in a vague notion of divinity are not really rallying points...

The issue with any large scale use of animals is that they take up a hell of a lot of resources. This is fine with horses, who are herbivores that largely eat things that we do not. With dogs however , that meat is something that could better serve the fighting men. Furthermore, ancient warfare...

So a long practising buddhist (now buddhistish) perspective, there are a few things worth considering. Whilst the Wikipedia entry does list a lot of Buddhist schools, it is largely incorrect RE the idea of 3 schools as it is portrayed. Namely, Vajrayana and its adherants are a subset of...

Because what he was asked to cede had been what he had preached. I.e. if I say "You shluld have all the bread you want!" And then I kill you for taking bread, im far more interested in things other than your getting bread.

I came to the conclusion after reading Young Stalin. In short, Lenin was a thug who was at every point willing to reject his self professed principles when it suited him. When he came to power, he demonstrated this to the utmost with how he handled Kronstadt, a rebellion which literally just...
