Could an ambitious Japanese emperor have conquered China and claimed the mandate of heaven during a period of collapse and hold onto it for the mean lifespan of a Chinese dynasty?

I don't see why not, yet that's beside the point. Could such an empire be founded and could it have lasted as long as one originating on the mainland? Assuming that the dynasty is established as the most propitious point in history for it to last

When it comes to grand strategy, some say that looking back in History and observing its patterns helps us make better decisions about the future. For example, "never invade Russia in winter!", "moral decadence is a symptom of a declining culture!" and "if you want your Empire to fall, invade Afghanistan!" are almost common sayings. But are there any actual historical recordings of anyone who took this principle seriously and applied this methodology into their strategies? Someone who would base most or at least part of their decisions on their knowledge of History? If yes, how did that work out?

Maybe not in the form of fixed maximes, but studying past experiences is crucial in geopolitics/military strategy.

What *was* this guy's problem?

He very clearly had some behavioural problems. Possibly a mental illness. But research into his childhood thus far (on my end) doesn't indicate anything out of the ordinary. Or at least, nothing that can conceivably lead to his behaviour as an adult.

>McElroy was born in 1934, the fifteenth of sixteen children born to a poor, migrant tenant-farming couple [...] He dropped out of school at age 15 in the eighth grade and quickly established a local reputation as a raccoon hunter, cattle rustler, small-time thief and womanizer. For more than two decades, McElroy was suspected of being involved in theft of grain, gasoline, alcohol, antiques, and livestock, but he avoided conviction when charges were brought against him 21 times—often after witnesses refused to testify because he allegedly intimidated them, frequently by following his targets or parking outside their homes and watching them.
>McElroy fathered more than 10 children with different women.

He was just a proto-wigger, I don't understand why you're looking for something deeper.

>He dropped out of school at age 15 in the eighth grade and quickly established a local reputation as a raccoon hunter, cattle rustler, small-time thief and womanizer.

>McElroy fathered more than 10 children with different women. He met his last wife, Trena McCloud, when she was 12 years old and in eighth grade. She became pregnant when she was fourteen, dropped out of school in the ninth grade, and went to live with McElroy and his third wife Alice. McElroy divorced Alice and married Trena in order to escape charges of statutory rape, to which she was the only witness.

I fucking hate women. /r9k/ were right.

A real Chad would have just brutalized all of the other gladiators just by walking into the arena, and then had the entirety of the Roman legions brought into be brutalized into submission just by the flailing of his hands as he strolled through them patting them on the back. They'd have all loved him for it too.

Is white nationalism and ethnonationalism in general a facet of postmodernism? Ultimately all it does is play into self-segregationism and identity politics which furthers the advance of postmodernism.

Wouldn't true traditionalism and conservatism be religious monarchism, and it's political counterpart, civic nationalism (as is the case of the habsburg monarchy)

G*rms are semi-human savages who can't help but commit atrocities wherever they go.

>Soldiers on both sides

Only the Soviets had soldiers, a G*rm is incapable of anything but acting like a beast. If Soviet tactics against G*rm filth seem extreme, it's only because as Westerners we have a soft spot for dumb animals like dogs and G*rms.

I'm not interested in whatever side you sympathise with. I just want to know why this front was so brutal compared to other fronts.

You're assigned to create a canon of 20 pieces of art that should be must-known benchmarks to cover as many bases of Art History as you can. The list should aim to include multiple philosophies, cultures, and time periods.

Which 20 do you choose?

depends. what do you consider to be art? is it paintings/sculptures only, or do you wish to include other art forms such as literature and music?

Notice how the Anglo only made crimes in the Autumn of western civilization, by then a mixed race of Celts, Ingvaeonics, and Nords
