I bet most of you fuckers calling Hannibal Barca "one of the greatest military commanders in history" have no clue what he did, other than marching some mercs over some hills, do you?
In reality, Hannibal did little more than beat a bunch of incompetent hastily chosen generals using superior forces to burn the Roman countryside. Sure he was a good general and had a good grasp on grand strategy, but when his mettle was tested against a truly great leader, Scipio Africanus, we see what Hannibal truly was, not a genius general who served his country greatly, but a general who was fortunate in his selection of opponents.
I don't think he's worthy of being called one of histories greatest commanders. He is only given that honour because modern eyes see him as bringing the mighty, unquestionable Rome to her knees, though at the time, Rome wasn't that mighty or unquestionable. In fact, the Second Punic War was quite evenly matched, with Rome perhaps holding a slight advantage. Hannibal did well with his limited resources, but ultimately, he failed. Scipio on the other hand succeeded with his limited resources and yet recieves little recognition outside historical circles despite Hannibal himself declaring Skips to be one of histories greatest.

tl;dr: Rome only had one good generals back then

He always won because he had superior cavalry, then he got destroyed after Romans brought better cavalry once. Then got raped when he tried to lead Seleucid armies.

It's kind of hard to tell since pretty much all Roman history records are propaganda in some form or another

Who was the greatest president ever, /his/? And I'm not talking about historical circumstance but actual personal capability.
So the presidents during the most crucial times of american history are not open for nomination, because under those circumstances every president would have left a huge legacy (George Washington, Abe Lincoln, and FDR).
I would say pic related but his piss poor handling of the watergate affair seems to make it impossible to crown him GOAT.
My next pick would be Bill Clinton (yes) because he did a lot of things right, avoided any major mistake and handled a very obstructive congress pretty well.
Remember this thread is all about political talent and capability, not historical circumstance.

Watergate affair was not even that bad, it was just overblown by the media which controlled the narrative. In comparison, Hillary Clinton committed much worse shit but wasn't under as much pressure simply because media mostly ignored it.
>>
>>3028780
Yes exactly, but his piss poor handling of it is why it was his downfall. Being able to sway the public with his charme and control the narrative is a major political talent he didnt have. Thats also why he lost to Kennedy.

So you wake where you went to sleep up and suddenly it is 1717.
You got plain but good period clothing of the region, some silver coins, a bag with 100 Spanish gold Doubloons a flint lighter and a small knife.
How do you fare? Will you snuff it in the wilderness? Will you have a pleasant life? Or maybe you got enough knowledge to change the world for the better?

I am an Australian born, whose father comes from Ireland. Neither he, nor my grandparents wish to speak about the past of it due to the difficulties of their lives. So I was wondering if the good people of this board would be able to give me some good starting points and websites to learn about Irelands past.

The UCC CELT Project is very good for primary sources

It contains digitised versions of all the major Irish historical works, in English, modern Irish, and the Irish of the period

Says the History of Ireland page on Wikipedia is a pretty okay brief overview, and you can look at the sources and citations on that page for books

So basically Carthage wasn't some big scary Roman antithesis, but a trading rival who had good resources and positioning and was kinda bad at warfare until the Barcids got lucky with New Carthage and Hannibal went and spooked the fuck out of Rome so much that Rome eventually trashed Carthage, and then after the fact the Romans created the myth of Carthage being their ultimate ideological enemy they triumphed over?
Fuck, poor Carthage.

The real boogeymen for the Romans were the Gauls after the sack of Rome, until the time of Caesar.
>>
>>3036888
Actually by Caesar's time the gauls had failed to be a meaningful enemy for centuries.
They were an issue when Rome was still small enough to be threatened by multi-tribe warbands like Brennus's, but a Rome that spanned the whole peninsula? They were just a nuisance.
An expensive nuisance that forced an active military presence on the (ever expanding as more and more gallic tribes were conquered and/or excided) northern frontiers full time, which is part of why Caesar went Carthage on their collective arse, but still just a nuisance.

I know this question sounds like nonsense that maybe belongs on /x/ but it is something that has been bugging me as I feel like it invalidates my understanding of what a qualia even is if the term cannot apply to itself without falling into tautologous meaninglessness.

peace of mind if you can't handle the thought of a world without meaning and the endless void that is death

There are no benefits anymore. Whatever stability it brought to society it's all in the trash now. The only reason there is to be a christian these days is out of your own faith. You can only be a christian if you actually believe in jesus, his teachings and that of his apostles, but it's something out of your own will, God has left this place anyways.

But nearly everyone, including most of the people you know, will burn in Hell forever. Also, the single most terrible sin, the one that can damn you forever without even knowing it, is left unexplained in the Bible. What kind of peace of mind is that?
