FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, BORN TWELVE MAY, YEAR EIGHTEEN HUNDRED TWENTY, IN FLORENCE, ITALY.

SOME QUOTATIONS:

>"The greatest heroes are those who do their duty in the daily grind of domestic affairs whilst the world whirls as a maddening dreidel."

>"I think one's feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results."

>"God spoke to me and called me to His Service. What form this service was to take the voice did not say."

>"Sick children, if not too shy to speak, will always express this wish. They invariably prefer a story to be told to them, rather than read to them."

>"A dark house is always an unhealthy house, always an ill-aired house, always a dirty house. Want of light stops growth and promotes scrofula, rickets, etc., among the children. People lose their health in a dark house, and if they get ill, they cannot get well again in it."

>"Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better."

>"I have lived and slept in the same bed with English countesses and Prussian farm women... no woman has excited passions among women more than I have."

They were playing industrial catch-up for one, and lacked the resources they needed to do so on the Home Islands. Thus the need to expand.

maybe it has something to do with the massive famine under Lenin's rule

I'm just guessing here

They want to remove the Russian (and Soviet) shit.

inb4 subhuman Russians and Western cucks parroting the Russian propaganda how there's no such thing as Ukraine and everything is just Russian.

Napoleonic Wars
France was the ultimate good guy
The eternal anglo was the ultimate bad guy, brainwashing other european states into fighting their best potential ally

The real goal of every single war in human history has been arbitrary violence and expansion for it's own sake. This is true for Britain, the US, or any other genocidal empire romanticized by it's admirers. States run by humans will always sickening machines of senseless death.

the good guys lost that war

I suggest you read Bartolomeo de Las Casas. The shit that was going on in the Caribbean was absolutely horrific, even by the "standards" of the time.

>>3273575
>All the replies were people praising the sledgehammer

Certainly, a sledgehammer that can break up a statue is a well built sledgehammer.

>>3273575

First of all nobody gives a shit about statues other than those assblasted by them.

Secondly, on the indian issue: America exists as a sovereign country because of the injun problem. Specifically, the British King wouldn't allow white settlers to remove indians or squat on their lands if those tribes recognized the Crown. Many obviously did, and this effectively halted American expansion at Indiana. Following the American Revolution, Indians were marched at gunpoint to the vast desert wasteland that is Oklahoma which nobody wanted. Many died during this "Trail of Tears" and as a result of the relocation to a literal wasteland many died and remained poor. A similar fate almost befell Mormons (who worship indians as lost jews) but with Utah, but they were white and therefore able to create a civilized society. Today most injuns are hated by both Mexicans and Americans alike for being drunk thieves who spend all their money on alcohol.

For comparison, ones in Canada fared much better as they weren't relocated and are just general lower class people instead. Down in Mexico all natives were enslaved and put into labor camps, and now Mexico has constant civil unrest due to those groups organizing groups (the catholic church, cartels, communist secessionist forces, etc) opposed to the Mexican government.

Thirdly, to answer your question: no not really since each European country had a different policy. Spain/Mexico was borderline genocidal (comply or die), America's was relocation, and England's was full civil rights as Commonwealth citizens. France was irrelevant because their colonial adventures ended with the Louisiana Purchase.

But anon, the rest of history can't be made palatable for obese cable TV viewers. The rest of history either doesn't have modern Americans in it or doesn't have any struggle that can be simplistically interpreted as good vs evil.

You wouldn't want Cletus to get bored now would you.

Most people are imbeciles who have no knowledge of history apart from WW2, and even that is disputable.

The reason why Hitler is so overrepresented is because Hitler sells well.

>>3270642
>it sells!
>on a channel with no ads
This is as absurd as CNN "leaks" that "show" that they made up the russia story for """ratings""". Only an idiot would believe this
They cover Hitler and Stalin for propaganda
This is the main goal of any historic propaganda, to frame Hitler and Stalin as crazy evil murderers

>>3268987
The only way for PLC to survive would be if Sigismund III Vasa wouldn't fuck up the situation with Russian throne.

Maybe making whole country Greek-Catholic would help too, because there would be no religious conflict, and both Ruthenian and Ukrainian people would be happy (Greek rites) and the Pope would have no reason to complain (nominal control over Orthodox church).

Anyway, the only way for PLC to live is through crushing Moscow when it had a chance.

You're absolutely right, and I have no idea how to stop it. We can voice our opinions, but they're more nuanced, and therefore less interesting and harder to follow. I plan on moving somewhere quiet, far away from it all.
