I was close, but here's the theological context.

No. They were testing his knowledge of the Old Laws and he didn't fail. He didn't have 2 witnesses if I recall correctly.

An advanced society, such as that which sustained the Roman Empire, is made up of countless components, all working together. It's engineering, farming, medicine, warfare, politics, law, schools, religion, roads, shipping, the bureaucracy. Once those components start to degrade, at some point everything just collapses to a lower sustainable level. As in, no sewers.

Today, in America, many once-paved highways have been turned back into gravel roads. It's a small thing, but significant. We used to be able to travel to the Moon. Not any more. We used to be able to cross the Atlantic by supersonic passenger jet. Not any more. Competence is falling in a wide spectrum of professions due to affirmative action, and the accompanying deliberate handicapping of whites and Asians. The universities are becoming liberal social clubs where no hard subjects are taught, because those non-whites and feminisits who make up the student body are not capable of handling it.

As I've pointed out many times on Voat, we are almost certainly in the process of entering a new Dark Age similar to the Dark Age that befell Europe after the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. It is a slow process, but the signs are there for those who wish to see them. IQ levels are dropping due to race mixing and a welfare system which promotes the children of the lowest intelligence groups in society, while penalizing children by high-intelligent groups. In a word, gentlemen, we are fucked. The only thing that might (and I think it is highly unlikely), I say might save the West is a rebirth of a militant form of Christianity. But few people can even comprehend why that is necessary.

Rome created the aqueduct like 2000 years ago. Africans are still transporting water on top of their head while occasionally getting eaten by a crocodile.

Jesus didn't come to abolish the laws of the Old Testament. That's the point of that line. And so you deny Christ by denying the truth of the word of God.

That word of God means lots and lots of genocide.

Matthew 5:17-18

You mean genocide of different faiths? In the bible? Are you fucking retarded? That's like half of it.

The "Dark Age" happened due to a Grand Solar Minimum, the crop failures pushed barbarians into Rome and resulted in the Plague of Justinian. The strange weather events during the campaigns of Belisarius were likely the result of a major volcanic eruption.

Had these not happened, Belisarius and Justinian could've rebuild the Roman Empire somewhat.

There was a mini ice age during the dark ages. Everything likely sucked and they could hardly grow anything.

Something similar happened in Mexico during its Revolutionary War IIRC. Conservatives won over the liberals, think Zapata, and the population was literally decimated. Many many liberals were killed, who happened to be the teachers, doctors, educated elite and so on. What followed was a lot of disease, suffering and no quick way to rebuild due to the brain drain.

Makes you wonder how far back such a cycle might go, and how those in power destroy evidence of ancient history.

And now that middle eastern muzzies are in control the streets are full of shit.

Earth has a history of culling intellectuals. We have megalithic stones and structures that are not repeated. Look at the great pyramid. Flat level ground stone with over 2 million stones on top creating a complex eight sided figure aligned to gps standards.

After time fell, Mediterranean commerce gets stopped and money that had paid for that infrastructure you talked about is no longer available. It could be that the knowledge wasn’t passed on. Or even if it had, the access to material no longer existed so the chance to build something never came about.

There could be another factor. The church quickly established itself and the intellectuals were shunned in favor of crude robs and piety. Because trade was limited, the Jewish Pope turned to tidings to amass money and the build out of great cathedrals which weakened any other type of ability to fund infrastructure. This is a simple method used to control “Barons” from gaining any amount of huge power. Later on the Jewish Pope created crusades to once again weaken the aristocracy that was growing which took money, fathers and older sons out of the system for years or for good. This left behind young or weak inheritors which could be influenced by those who preached the good book.

The 3 Musketeers is obviously fiction but look at how the Jewish Pope basically controlled France.

With this we start into PRE-modern history and how you read very little about the church telling people to stop fighting wars or even trying to broker peace bargains. Why would the Jewish Pope be afraid to do that? Or was it another money grab because they knew people would fill their pews and pockets.

What happened to the Library of Alexandria? Who really burned it down? Who kept and hid what ever survived the fire? Maybe it held great knowledge that if made it back into simple people’s hands would have meant te continuation of what the Romans had?!?

Like you, I have wondered why we could repeat at least the ability to build Roman homes and ended up building shitty wooden shanty fences around shanty towns.

Or Christianity forbade knowledge because it wasn't God's way. Look where that got us?

Ewwwwww!

And then mass starvations and Illnesses lead to massive deaths. Those that are able to plan for the future, avoid bacteria and aren't naive survive.

Easy times breed weak men.

Weak men bring hard times.

Hard times breed strong men.

Strong men bring easy times.

Even as things go downhill we still have the easiest time as humans we ever had, so things are probably to become worse beyond our imagination.

I have the feeling that an historical episode is missing in your analysis

Sure the fall of rome was followed by chaos, but I have the feeling that there's more than just the fall of rome, maybe this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_epidemics#Pre-1500

The overwhelming amount of Roman cities/territories never had sewers either. The big cities did, the important trading hubs/ports did, but the vast majority didn't. Like most of the world, Europeans had to deal with waste just like everyone else whether they were part of the Roman empire or not. It's just that our important big cities where the first to have proper sewer systems.

After the degenerates destroyed Russia in 1917, they executed all the intelligent russians.

That is a specific tenet and hallmark of Jewish Marxism. See: Khmer Rouge

What do you think need sewer for, just go outside poo on the floor.

What do you think you're too good Pajeet, for the designated shitting street?

You just do what father do, and never ever put poo in loo

Same happened in Cambodia when the Khmer Rouge took over. All intellectuals and artists were murdered.

It wasn't called the dark ages for nothing

And yet, despite the reality of mordern sewage management, I still have never met an intelligent plumber.

Anywhere there's septic tanks there aren't sewers...

Do you have a point? Are you suggesting there will be a culling of the intelligent classes?
