Tsarist Russia was worth keeping is such a stupid fucking meme, you should honestly feel bad about perpetuating it.
>>
>>3191917
I never said I wanted Tsarist Russia, kings of any sort are bad and the people were wholly justified in revolt due to overwhelming tyranny.

I'm just saying imagine if it had been a US-style revolt, and they didn't burn everything of the 'pre-revolution' world left and right. If they had saved the awesomeness of Russia instead of killing it too.

End the tsars, but put a republic or something in instead. Keep the old world charm and beauty, keep the mysterious wonderland, leave the terror-empire part.

Can someone give me background into the historical trends and movements referenced in the iron pill comics? He's also reading books all the time, and I know some of them are by evola, but what else does he read? And is the iron pill philosophy internall consistent?

There is a chart with some books. I've read a few of them; archeofuturism and Donovan's books.
I'm not sure if it is consistent. I would describe it as ecofascism but archeofuturism isn't.

Why is it that the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest is so talked about amongst Roman historians, but not the campaign Germanicus did after in response?
47 posts and 8 images submitted.
>>
>>3191724

Because Germanicus's campaign was just another Roman punitive campaign where the Legions marched into Barbarian lands, fucked shit up, and left with a stern reminder to keep the fuck away.

Teutoberg forest was the largest single total defeat until the crisis of the third century, and halted Roman expansion to the Rhine. Augustus could read a map and figure out that the Rhine and the Danube would make a great natural border and shorten the frontier that needed to be defended.
>>
>>3191724
Because it is very rare for 3 legions to be lost in a single campaign. To put it into context, the loss of 3 legions and associated auxiliaries represented a total wipeout of 10% of the entire Roman army. It's the equivalent of 200,000 American soldiers being sent into the Iraqi desert and only 400 coming back to tell the rest of the world what had happened.

>>3191732
>ugustus could read a map and figure out that the Rhine and the Danube would make a great natural border and shorten the frontier that needed to be defended.

This is a frequently commonly held myth. Romans did not have accurate maps, particularly of the Barbaricum beyond the frontiers. They mostly relied on itineraries, lists of destinations on the road networks with distances between them. Actual maps were incredibly distorted and were of no real use for military planning.

Writers like Luttwak who wrote the "Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire" had their arguments completely demolished over the past 50 years. Romans really did not have the capability, or even the conceptual knowledge to know exactly where their frontiers should be on a macro scale.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahweh

>In the oldest biblical literature he is a typical ancient Near Eastern "divine warrior" who leads the heavenly army against Israel's enemies;[8] he later became the main god of the Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) and of Judah,[9] and over time the royal court and temple promoted Yahweh as the god of the entire cosmos, possessing all the positive qualities previously attributed to the other gods and goddesses.[10][11] By the end of the Babylonian exile (6th century BCE), the very existence of foreign gods was denied, and Yahweh was proclaimed as the creator of the cosmos and the true god of all the world

One thing I can say for a fact that history taught us was that people where shit posting way before the Internet.

Post examples of such acts.

Here for example is the infamous "End him rightly" from an old book about dualing in which tells us that to truly "fuck someone up" you must mid duel unscrew your pommel and throw it at your opponent.

At first I was confused about an american writing 3 tomes on Stalin, but apparently he was in the USSR a lot for academic research and fellowships, so I guess he has enough experience and has heard enough tales.
I've added it to the ever growing eternal backlog. Maybe I'll finish the first 2 volumes before the third is done. Thanks for the headsup.

>>3190733
You're welcome. I'm pretty excited because this means it'll likely get done so I need to get started on volume 1 to be ready for when volume 2 comes.

Like all kinds of anarchism is runs into the problem of psychopaths. Like all forms of socialism, it runs into the problem of free riders.
