The real question is whether he was any better than Petain

>>2802291
well De Gaulle was the one that realized that the military needed to be mechanized and use combined arms tactics.

heavy armor formations that can act independent of infantry being the biggest idea of his.

instead they kept to ww1 doctrine.

>>2802221
He tried to maintain the French Colonial Empire, that was pretty wrong.

Unfortunately for all of us Anon, first hand, Omaha-beach style narratives about combat are virtually nonexistent.

Closest I know of is Polybius 18, and even that is more tactics than first hand stuff.

There's plenty of good secondary sources that discuss hand-to-hand combat from a scholarly perspective as well.

>>2802153
>There are lots of historic descriptions of the tactics involved, but I've found nothing highly personal, as if you were there in the moment yourself.

The only way to achieve this level of hermeneutic understanding is through joining a reenactment association

>>2802338
This

No one felt the need to describe what a battle was like, unfortunately for us, because everyone had a rough idea of what it looked like

>>2802121
>secret alchemical knowledge
Alchemical knowledge is not secret and can be easily accessed over the internet or in a wide selection of books.

>>2802121
it's just some guy writing about shit he made up in a conlang

Well, it's not a hoax, because it has a provenance that's fairly old, 16th century, and the parchment and ink is renaissance era.

If it encodes a language, it will be difficult to decipher without a key.

Probably not, and if it does, it probably isn't that important, since it's like 600 years old.

It's a "what if" question.

>>2802081
>would socialism have worked this time?
The answer, as always, is no.

>>2802089

I think there are more than enough primary documents to be able to reasonably speculate on this topic anon, it's a far cry from "Would Hitler have won WWII if he was 90 feet tall and could shoot lasers from his eyes?"

No.

Is republicanism a religion?

what is the difference between religion and philosophy anyway

>>2802073
>do Feudalists perform rituals and worship a being?
No.

>>2802013
No biblical analysist or whatever-the-fuck takes them seriously, that's why you'll find most of their "proof" on Facebook feeds and YouTube videos/comments, usually in caps lock followed with a crude image of x black man doing y against a white man. This is getting tiring if I'm to be honest.

At least they know Holocaust never happened.

>>2802013
The Real jews are Yemeni and mizrachi ones, they're more brown/olive than black

BIG

This literally looks like one of japanese prostate stimulators.

>>2801980
Climate change, collapse of trade routes, and migrations most likely, just like the civilizations to the West of them.

>>2801968
He's up there for sure, but you cant really judge subjective statements objectively

Real answer: Competence is subjective.

Meme answer: No, it's Vo Nyugen Giap, for winning against three world powers and then living to the age of 109.

I think Jan van Eyck is another

>>2801945
I agree

Only socialism has been tried and it failed

Why do you keep shitposting?

>>2801945
Because the actual truth is that communism cannot actually be attempted as it is contrary to how human beings actually work in large societies. The closest thing to actual communism is stone age hunter gatherer societies which are both not all that great societies to actually live in and not a way of living that is sustainable on a planet with billions of inhabitants.

>What's makes a person a Jew
Having a jewish mother, or belieiving in judaism depending on whether you are talking about the ethnicity or the religion

>What's makes someone a Hebrew?
The hebrew ethnicity is extinct

>What makes someone an Israelite?
Same as jew but only in the ethnic sense

>Can gentiles become any of these things?
They can become religious jews

>If they can, are they treated as equals?
Officially yes

>Is Judaism meant to attract all peoples to its teachings or only to a certain few?
It was originally an ethno-religion that had no interest in foreign converts. The modern form is more universal but still not very interested

>>2801947
>depending on whether you are talking about the ethnicity or the religion
How would you "believe" in an ethnicity?

>>2801957
>How would you "believe" in an ethnicity?
"Jew" can refer either to an adherent of judaism (the religion) or an ethnic jew. To be an ethnic jew, by the traditions of ethnic jews, you need to have an ethnic jewish mother, making you a Jew in the same way one might be an "Englishman"

To be a "Jew" the way you might be a "Christian" you just have to believe in the religion

>>2801901
it employs discoveries in other scientific disciplines to enrich one's understanding of existence

>>2801901
Basically the question they want to answer is shit like: what is the meaning of life? sadly this has been solved since darwin

>>2801901
Certain philosophies such as Stoicism or Epicureanism are constructed in a such a way where they are meant to be practiced by people in every day life from any socio-economic group. Other philosophies, such as Platonism or Aristotelianism, deal more with metaphysics/the nature of being.

the silk road never existed. prove me wrong

>>2801865
frankincense

>>2801863
Frankopan is a good goy and from reading reviews it seems like the book exists mainly as a liberal backpatting about the glory of Islam (since it's not the religion of evil white Europeans) disguised as a history book.

>>2801834
Isa (pbuh) (not Jesus) was send by Allah but his vision was distort by the Christians

>>2801850
Fuck your retarded Islamic bullshit.

>>2801834
