Straight white men. Notice how white males seem to be the most moral and heroic people on earth.

I seem to remember an article where it stated a good percentage of, I think, VC recipients were oldest brothers from a large family. But I can't remember the exact wording to look it up on the internet. It broke down some similarities

(you) While it's a given most of them are white I was expecting a somewhat more mature approach to the subject

I don't know much about Buddha, but I do know that Buddhism is pure decline. As for Confucius and Socrates, they are preserved thanks to their students. They were influential, but not independent of those who preserved them.

It would be better to say that the period between 5th c. and 3rd c. was an absolute high point in many areas.

Just because Buddhism is in decline doesn't mean his ideas are. Most are preserved in the teachings of "jeebus crust" who, unwittingly, took and repackaged his thoughts.

>>3254004
>Buddha

Does he actually exist or is he like Jesus - a placeholder for the amalgamation of buddhist philosophers?

Probably sexual selection.

Doesn't make sense. The blond hair disappears after childhood.

Huge success of a thread.

Mental note: do not bump next time.

I was wondering th same thing. Not balding but I was looking at pictures of people in the past with broad foreheads and high hairlines yet they were adored and had women all over them.

Just shave it off for chrissake.

Requesting the pasta and a ban for the OP.

You guys have no imagination and very boring.

Slavs are a grim and hardcore people.

>>3253467
Because it was Europe's wall against Nomadic hordes.

>>3253467
Sharing borders with the Muslim hordes made Eastern Europeans resort to extreme measures to defend themselves. For example, Vlad impaled people to scare shit out of invaders. Well that and he was plain batshit.

Enlightenment thinkers.

Weren't they a real group that just got mythologized out of proportion to their actual influence?

It was about slavery, yes. The Southern States wanted to keep slavery, the North had joined the rest of the civilized world in wanting to end it.

>>3252999
did they really wage a war they had little chance to win just to continue to own slaves ?

>southern economy (and society) is dependent on slavery
>north wants to, at the very least, limit slavery to the south and stop it spreading west
>lincoln wins the 1860 election on this platform (without any southern support)
>south realizes they lack the political power to keep slavery going in the future, so they secede''

I've also heard that secession was not universally supported in the South, but more average Southerners started supporting it when the U.S. Army started showing up. I don't know to what extent this is "dindu nuffin" revisionism though (One needs to be careful, because muh (((Lost Cause))) was the dominant narrative for 100 years of U.S. History, and many people still unironically believe it)

>Paulus, a Roman Catholic, was opposed to suicide. During his captivity, according to General Max Pfeffer, Paulus said of Hitler's expectation: "I have no intention of shooting myself for this Bohemian corporal."

>Another general told the NKVD (the public and secret police organisation of the Soviet Union) that Paulus had told him about his promotion to field marshal and said: "It looks like an invitation to commit suicide, but I will not do this favour for him." Paulus also forbade his soldiers from standing on top of their trenches in order to be shot by the enemy.

>>3252573
So he fought willingly for Hitler for years, leading troops in invasions of other nations for him, and only towards the end showed some resistance.
Hmm... better late than never, but I don't know if this really amounts to cucking.

>When the assassination attempt on Hitler and the following coup in Berlin (the 20 July plot) had failed, Tresckow decided to commit suicide at the front in Królowy Most near Białystok on 21 July. His parting words to Schlabrendorff were:

>The whole world will vilify us now, but I am still totally convinced that we did the right thing. Hitler is the archenemy not only of Germany but of the world. When, in few hours' time, I go before God to account for what I have done and left undone, I know I will be able to justify what I did in the struggle against Hitler. God promised Abraham that He would not destroy Sodom if only ten righteous men could be found in the city, and so I hope for our sake God will not destroy Germany. No one among us can complain about dying, for whoever joined our ranks put on the shirt of Nessus. A man's moral worth is established only at the point where he is ready to give his life in defense of his convictions.[6]

>To protect other conspirators, he staged an appearance of partisan attack by firing his pistols and then dispatched himself by holding a hand grenade below his chin and detonating it. He was buried in the family home in Wartenberg. When the Nazis learned about his connections in late August, his body was exhumed and taken to the crematorium in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. His wife was arrested on 15 August, and her children taken away under Nazi policy of Sippenhaft (shared family guilt); however, early in October she was released and survived the war.

I work with his great-grandson. Good kid. We talk about how Nazis ruined Germany every now and then.

The saddest thing is that Nixon was actually an immensely popular president prior to Watergate. He was effectively guaranteed to win re-election. His entire legacy has been tainted simply because he cheated when he didn't need to.

Reminder that Nixon presided over the moon landings in their entirety.

Be more skeptical, otherwise you'll always be dissapointed.

you become a realist.

History isn't written by the winners, it's written by whoever's good enough at spreading their version of events and accounts differ depending on location.
