He is not concerned about the population, he is concerned about not having enough young men to send off to war.

Cool. Then you get what you want, because this is exactly what tiktok is.

Nah, it is just a lot of hexbear alt accounts like yourself on your disingenously labeled “reasonable” side.

Where is “here”?

A lot of US defaultism going on in this thread. Americans (and perhaps British) talking about the North American grey squirrel as the incarnation of all squirrels, when people elsewhere in the world would have very different experiences with their local native squirrels, who act quite differently to those.

The way the Supreme Court works in the US is not how it works in most other democratic countries. The combination of that system with Common Law is quite unique in fact.

So there are lots and lots of already existing alternatives as to how to place a Supreme Court differently.

They basically just performed a coup for whoever becomes the next Republican president. It may not be Trump in 2024, but it doesnt matter, as soon as a Republican president is voted in it is over.

There are zero contemporary primary sources for his existence.

We have a lot more contemporay primary sources for the existence of Socrates than we have of Jesus (of which the number of contemporary primary sources is 0).

No, there arent a lot of texts from the 1st century AD about him. The majority by far stems from the second century or later.

Written up to a couuple of centuries after his supposed existence.

There most definitely is.

You are the one who is doing the misinforming. All of the sources you mention, except Josephus, were written up to more than a century after his supposed existence. With Josephus being written around half a century after his existence.

And as mentioned, the specific quotes from Josephus are of a dubious nature.

No, OPs question was perfectly fine, because it is necessary to stress the fact that we have not a single contemporary primary source that Jesus existed. So adding extra parameters is pretty pointless, since we cannot convincingly answer whether he actually existed, much less whether he was a religious figure. Scholars have reached a conjectural consensus that a Jesus in some form likely existed, but it is a consendus based on congecture and circumstantial evidence in the form of later secondary sources.

Completely unlikely since no such census records are extant.

People who are jnfamilhar with the historiography are very much overestimating the amount of primary source material which exists from the Roman Empire, simply because historians have been very good at extracting information from the miniscule fraction (relative to the amount which was produced) of extant written sources we do have from the period.

There are no such records. Just having any extant census records from the Roman Empire would have pretty sensational, let alone some stemming from Judea at the supposed time of Jesus.

The Nero reference you are mentioning was written by Tacitus over a century after he was supposed to have lived. The fact of the matter js that there is no contemporary primary rvidence of hus exisrence.

ITT: Loads of monolingual native English speakers who has no knowledge of linguistics or even how their own language is not unique in all the ways that they think it is.

He died in 2006. They got his embalmed body on display in a glass box and everything, like the complete insane psychopaths that they are.

Not evs in general, just tesla.
