I feel as though because of Voltaire's meme status it gets forgotten just how brilliant he was. He was a giant in his term, hail by his contemporaries as undoubtedly one of, if not the, the greatest genius living in all of Europe.

From his pen he brought forth an incredibly body of work both in the sheer amount and in its lively wit & clarity of thought. He was a dramatist, a romantic, a poet, a novelist, a propagandist, an essayist, a historian, a philosopher, a master of conversion, a man of letters and dabbled in the natural sciences.

Undoubtedly one of the most prolific writers and sharpest minds to have ever lived.

His work is nothing special and tends to be overrated because of his influence on the French Revolution. He was a piece of shit who usually contradicted himself and hated the people.

Why do people think social security/welfare=socialism when it was originally introduced to marginalize socialists?

Just playing devil's advocate, but people probably think this because realistically speaking it ends up amounting to the same thing.
I understand where you're coming from about the motive being political triangulation but that's going to be lost on someone ten years later who just sees that they're living in what looks like a socialist or quasi-socialist state.

There's a few theories. One is that he was pissed off at not getting a commission in the army and thus not getting any of the west lands won in the French war.

Is the root of all Japanese aggression essentially just insecurity? I mean, claiming to be the supreme race and culture while simultaneously knowing deep down you stole your entire culture from China would make anyone insecure.

I think it's more down to geography.

All those valleys creating a bunch of warring fucks that eventually got forced together by some warlord or other. That sort of shit leaves a cultural legacy.

Also the land sucks, all the good resources are beyond the islands and those same mountainous regions aren't exactly good farmland. So of course they're going to try and get at those resources by any means necessary.

The jews had declared an economic war on germany internationally after their little revolution failed. Kristallnacht was the point where the cold war between jews and aryans went hot. Germany was expelling all jews from the country, some polish jews weren't let back into Poland, the son of one of those families was in Paris studying, heard about their situation and decided to shoot a german diplomat.

He was killed in a false Flag. Hitler was trying to control the party before it torn itself apart.

99.99% of internet arguments end up in a deadlock because one or both parties don't understand the biases and/or fallacies in their writing. The classic line "don't argue with an idiot" doesn't help if everyone is an idiot.

What can be done about this? I fucking hate getting baited.

Educate your opponent while under discussion, not with petty insults or overtly loaded words that need lots of unpacking, but rather simple and easy to understand language in neutral/positive manner.

That's for personal approach. On a national/state level, logic class should be mandatory in k-12 schools.

Reading about the Weimar Republic makes me sad that it ended. How a country so forward-thinking and progressive could make a complete U turn in a matter of a few years is tragic.

What would have happened here had the Great Depression not been as bad as it was? Instead of the Nazis coming to power due to massive economic turmoil, what if there was only a minor recession and Weimar survived? Would this even have been possible?

Yes, the Weimar could have survived if they made Otto Wels chancellor and joined multiple parties to form an anti-fascist coalition.

A bunch of peasants could take on a knight(s). Whether they win or not is entirely dependent on their use of strategy.
>>
Questions like this are retarded.

One, "samurai" and "knight" are vague terms that can be completely different depending on what time period we're talking. Samurai existed in the 1800's and had rifles and cannons. Yea that can fuck up almost any knight ever. Samurai can also mean a horse archer from the 1300's, a 17th century bureaucrat, or a spear wielding warrior from the 1500's. See the variation here?

Secondly, it depends on a great number of variables but anybody can win a fight on any given day. People in reality don't have power levels.
>>
>>2791164
Depends. Which side has guns?

I often see people shitting on "redcoats" (which is a little too broad a period of time), but have read ( admittedly in pop-his) that British infantry in the Napoleonic and revolutionary wars had more experience with live-fire drills and also that the attack column and mixed order helped with sometimes poor morale of bulk conscripts that increasingly made up French numbers as the wars dragged on. Obviously events like the sacking of Bajadoz can be good evidence for poor discipline however.

Bashing the Brits is a popular pastime on /his/, often used as a low oversight and flagless /int/ shitposter's paradise, but it would be nice to get some hard information with reference to the literature on this subject.

Reminder that the British are constantly played up to be greater than they actually were not by the British but by the countries that the British fought.

>>2791152
The thing is that Britain (and especially England) was always suspicious of standing armies, and even of soldiers as a profession. Even during the Elizabethean period, when over half of all living men had seen some form of military service and England was being run like a martial state, there was this odd sort of paradoxical disdain for soldiering: soldiers were untrustworthy, coarse, dangerous, trouble-makers.

You've been reading sharp have you?

The live fire thing is probably correct though. I read that in an osprey book. It could always be wrong though you never know with osprey.

German Armed Forces thread.

How is history, and specifically military history taught in them?

Do politics and patriotism play a part in modern German Armed Forces? I don't think you can hold a fighting corp without a dose of patriotism, nationalism or whatever you call it, but considering the taboo it implies in Germany, I'm genuinely curious about it.

Perhaps some kraut can shed light on this. Also would like to know if their armed forces are politicized somehow, If extreme right/AfD elements are discouraged, how united are the armed forces around this subjects, etc.

It would be good to shed some light into the "germans have no army after WWII" meme. I relly don't know who started that. German Army is not something talked about though, considering the post war trauma. Hence this thread.

The East Germans kept the Prussian uniforms and look but that doesn't mean they were brainwashed, nationalist, racist zealots. They still supported humanitarianism and equality.
