I can understand being salty about the fall of Rome but why would you be salty about the fall? Yes the leaves turn brown so fucking what?

people only like the fall because they are an old band that has kept going for so long. it gives them a certain appeal that hipsters love

Is postmodern literature like gravity's rainbow or infinite jest just New England academia sucking itself off and written to facilitate literary theory?
It seems like it. I browsed lit for a long time but I only just realised that there is a huge percentage of it that claim that literary theory or critical theory aren't, in summary, bullshit. It seems like leftists screaming against reason and typical of what you'd see in a university's humanities department.
Is art and humanities academia really so corrupt? Is this why reading for "mere enjoyment" is looked down upon?

I am not sure, but I think it was designed to be outrageous, like trolling in a way
The purpose of it is to "expose problematic nationalism" by defacing an important historical figure, so that if anyone gets triggered by it they may be ridiculed for being think-skinned and maybe racist? or something?
This is just speculation. But I really don't see any other reason for the creation of it. It didn't make any sort of spash AFAIK so it may just have been a colossal waste of time and money.

It's a different kind of happiness than hedonistic pleasure, but I would say he could still be happy. A gentle, all-pervading content like the nirvana of the Buddha.

Yes, but only if you break away certain human faculties.

>Finland didn't win the winter war
>Zhukov was a genius
These are both obviously objectively false statements.
So what gives with all the general shillposting for the SU lately? leftypol or putinbots?

It's mostly fiction. The protagonists are fictional characters, the plots are also fiction.
I recommend this:
Bokko墨攻
http://mangafox.me/manga/bokko/
Also partially fictional.

For a manga based on French history, I recommend Versailles no Bara, or The Rose of Versailles, centered around the French Revolution of 1789, and especially the years and events leading up to it for most of the series. I've only seen the 40 episodes anime version, though, which is excellent.
>>
>>3233291
Not very, not the armor, the characters (being fair there isn't a lot to draw from), weapons or tactics. But it's a good read and at some parts imaginative.
Also only manga? There are lots of good historical comics.
The Grand Duke, Mezek, The Eidelweiss if you like war planes (and who doesn't?).
About Japanese Mangas, they don't tend to do historical right, but there are great exception like Vinland Saga, Bokko or vagabound, and of course plenty of Samuray ones like Wolf and Cub.

(ignore the dick-measuring bait in picture)
In lieu of the comparisons of the United States to the Roman Empire, wouldn't it more appropriate to compare the US to the Mongol Empire?
> affinity for alcohol
> cultural affinity for devices of long distance travel (pickup trucks and horses)
> relatively tolerant of yet feared by Muslims (Iraq War and Sack of Baghdad)
> conduit of trade between East and West (Silk Road vs San Francisco and New York)
>expansion over vast plains (Mongol Invasions vs Manifest Destiny)
Thoughts?

>Born into a lousy starving peasant family.
>Rises from shit to high officer class.
>Drives a division of mongols (on horses) to victory against a fully modernized Japanese army.
>Gets assigned to Leningrad's front, city encircled with only one way in to pass supplies and troops.
>Gets assigned to Moscow during the most desperate moment.
>Kicks Germans out
>Gets in Berlin first even after being delayed a few times while managing the Bielorussian front.
>Manages to win with an army who had minimal equipment and training.
>Saves your WW2.
Meanwhile western armies go jerking each other about very small feats, so how come a peasant manages to surpass all these western trash tier officers who graduated from prestigious school?

Correction: he swamped the greenest garrison division of the IJA in overwhelmingly superior numbers of men and modern tanks, guns, planes, and trucks, and still took drastically higher losses than the opposition.
