This guy actually ruined future for russia for long time. His domestic policy and attitude towards allies proves that Peter was quite a degenerate.

He modernized Russia. His accomplishments are many and hugely important: making Russia a naval power, expanding its borders heavily, defeating Sweden (when Sweden was destroying everyone else), and updating Russia's backwards culture (in Peter's childhood, music itself was seen as dangerous). Read Robert K. Massie's biography of him.

>>3056263
But that's wrong.

>tried to reform army but failed
Tell that to Charles XII. Russia was far stronger under and after Peter than before him.

>tried to reform navy but failed and most of the major battles were won by old fleet
Russia really had no naval power before Peter took over. And so what if victories were won by the old fleet - they're still victories.

>ruined russian orthodox church that became state ministery, basically
The church was getting in the way of effective administration and getting into politics, so of course Peter put it in its place.

>cucked russian culture so hard that everything foreign was seen as awesome and everything russian as degenerate for centuries (read russian novels and you'll see that quite clearly)
He promoted foreign influence because - as Peter saw himself in visiting other countries - Russia was backwards culturally and needed to be modernized.

Because it was corrupted. Islam is the true word of Allah.

It's simple. The New Testament claims that Jesus (pbuh) was a Jew. He wasn't. He was a Muslim, along with all the other prophets, including Prophet Adam (pbuh). This proves that Islam is the oldest monotheistic religion by far. Judaism doesn't even claim Adam was a Jew.

I wonder if babbies were ever killed that way. I doubt their tiny skulls could endure the weight of an adult

Shit like this is common in every corner of the Catholic world. Catholicism is not a religion. It is several pagan religions all pretending to be Christian.

>So, is the continuance of our species , justifiable in the face of our knowledge that it will certainly bring suffering to innocent future human beings? How can we say "Yes" without accepting unlimited utilitarism?

By simply saying that you do not know whether or not a child will suffer.

To say that you know for sure that even the most impoverished child living in a favela in Brazil or a slum in India will not live a life full of little joys is to say that you yourself are omniscient, or that you have a lacking capacity for joy yourself and are projecting this onto others. Human beings find joy in the smallest of things, and every one of us is capable of living a worthy life.

In addition to this, if you are to have a child, it is your duty as a parent to ensure that they live equipped to build a worthy life. You have the power, no matter your station in life, to ensure that your children can do this. To abrogate this responsibility, or to assume that you are not up to the task, is a weakness of the first degree, that will end your lineage. If you succumb to this weakness you are not worthy of life. As if you would call your life worth living (and it must be, for you not having killed yourself yet), and you accept that it is the primary instinct and duty of the parent to give their children better lives than they themselves had, then for you to say that your children will have nought but suffering, you must yourself be living a life so absolutely contemptible that you ought to have killed yourself already.

If, however, you acknowledge that you are incapable of fulfilling the duties of a parent, and you are not capable of giving your children better lives than you had, then by all means, voluntarily castrate yourself and continue life confident in the knowledge that you are unworthy of nurturing children and have failed the only true task given to all human kind.

Islam allows polygamy and that lead to un-paired mated-deprived males. Said males go off in jihad to die or grab some war brides.

They are the original Indo-Europeans. THEY IS EUROPE N SHIT

There is none. Politicians don't have such impractical objectives on their minds. Also, white man's burden is a myth.

Incas were superior to europeans.

It's an excuse to oppress and milk others. Anyway, why is "civilization" placed on top of all those presumably negative things? All that suggests is that it's built on them.

Because he's right

He is wrong about literally everything he has ever talked about apart from World War 2 and to a lesser extent Republican Rome. He uses half-remembered anecdotes and his LARPing experience as a substitute for actual historical knowledge. He makes ridiculous claims in order to give an impression of going against the grain, which is the same sort of "they never taught you THIS in history class!!!" thing a lot of popular media rides on

It is not so bad in itself that he is wrong, he never claims to be a historian or any sort of expert or authority

But he is quite charismatic and entertaining to watch, and he has disparaged professional historians and archaeologists from time to time, so in spite of his amateur mistakes, his audience takes him as an absolute authority. I have seen people in his comment sections and elsewhere on the internet jubilantly proclaim that they do not read the works of professional historians or even trust their opinions, they just watch Lindybeige instead

>But he is quite charismatic and entertaining to watch
Really? I've seen people say this but he repulses me. Cant stand to watch his videos for more than 10 seconds desu

For Americans the mass entertainment is a sort or religious ceremony that must not be disturbed.

Also to add, sport clubs in Europe often have some political or ideological background.

I know a couple of Ultras myself. I live in a big European city close to the Stadium and many of my friends and neighbors are hardcore football fans. Trust me, they have no ideology at all, they just love the thrill, a mass event, group identity and sometimes violence.
I always fought it is some kind of accepted surrogate or valve to let off aggression and tribal thinking in our overly civilized society.
Thats why I wonder how the americans do it?
