FDR is the good, Stalin the bad and Churchill the Ugly. /thread
Ugly is definitely Churchill.
He looks like frog.
Philosophically speaking, is Nietzsche's work compatible with Marxism?
>>2547643
lolno
>>2547643
No, but your cranium is compatible with a bullet. Kys.
>>2547643
No, he valued individualism. Marxism is fundamentally collectivist in practice.
What the hell man, this gives me the sivers... :
>"Besides these [signs], a few days after that feast, on the one- and-twentieth day of the month Artemisius, [Jyar,] a certain prodigious and incredible phenomenon appeared; I suppose the account of it would seem to be a fable, were it not related by those that saw it, and were not the events that followed it of so considerable a nature as to deserve such signals; for, before sun-setting, chariots and troops of soldiers in their armour were seen running about among the clouds, and surrounding of cities. Moreover, at that feast which we call Pentecost, as the priests were going by night into the inner [court of the] temple, as their custom was, to perform their sacred ministrations, they said that, in the first place, they felt a quaking, and heard a great noise, and after that they heard a sound as of a great multitude, saying, "Let us remove hence" (Jewish Wars, VI-V-3).
“A supernatural apparition was seen, too amazing to be believed. What I am now to relate would, I imagine, be dismissed as imaginary, had this not been vouched for by eyewitnesses, then followed by subsequent disasters that deserved to be thus signalized. For before sunset chariots were seen in the air over the whole country, and armed battalions speeding through the clouds and encircling the cities.” (rendered in Chilton)

You fucking retarded subhuman, it was at JERUSALEM when it got razed to the ground

So, I am subhuman holding a degree in classical history who came across Flavius on numerous occasions and you're not a piece of shit for not properly reading my post? Be glad I even responded to this display of extreme retardation on your part.
>"if I were French, I would have struck, and not allowed a single German soldier to cross into the Rhineland"
T. Adolf Hitler on remilitarization of the Rhineland
How did Lebrun/Deladier/Blum fuck up this bad? Literally the whole point of the demilitarized Rhineland was to keep the German army small and to give France a free pass into Germany's industrial heart should there be another war. Clemenceau fought hard to get this put in to the treaty.
Daladier just shrugged it off like every other measure Clemenceau had put into Versailles to keep Germany under control.
DESU French 3rd Republic was shit. Does anyone have any actual records of their thought process during this?
>the british cabinet waited 3 days to talk about it because it was the weekend.
LOL, jesus christ.
>>2547331
A lot of reasons
1) The French greatly over-estimated how many troops the Germans had and how effective these troops would be, they took all of the paramilitaries in the region, over-estimated those numbers, and counted them as regular soldiers. They decided with that that they would have to fully mobilize to invade.
2) Fully mobilizing costs a lot of money, and France was nearly broke in 1936.
3) Maybe they could send in a smaller force, but the problem with the French military was that any forces sent would mean 3 divisions that couldn't be raised, as every active division would convert into 4 divisions in war-time.
4) The French strategy was a defensive one, and they didn't plan to be launching offensives instantly at the start of the war, as they considered their 1 year conscripts unsuitable for such operations. Hence, the Germans remilitarizing it was not that important to the French strategy.
5) The French air force was already starting to lag behind the German one.
6) France could gain diplomatic advantage from this and tie Britain closer to her, meaning that a future war would have the British on their side.
7) Not many people wanted to go to war again.

I've grown up an American Protestant, but have lately been interested in a sect of Christianity with more tradition, history, and custom.
Naturally, the first choice is perhaps Lutheranism or Catholicism. Lutheranism is a distinct possibility, but Catholicism is out of the question largely because of my family's anti-Catholic stance.
This has me of course interested in Orthodoxy, seemingly Catholics without being Catholic. My really question is how they differentiate. Do Orthodox do things that a Protestant would be opposed to like a Catholic would?
>>2547104
Ona popa many a popa.
>>2547104
they came out of two different cultural contexts.
Catholics = Western Europe
Orthodox = Eastern/Byzantine/Greek Europe
What were his thoughts on Anarchism?
>>2547042
He had no use for anarchism or anarchists.
>>2547042
Like every person with a brain he realized Anarchism was cancer because without the state to control the man, the man destroys itself
He said the meaning of human life is to pursue self-discipline and art, in a state of war we can't have poetry, music, dance or art/culture in general
He figured anarchists were primarily motivated by resentment of power and success, and thus viewed them with contempt.
His ideals, however wound up being quite influential in anarchist thought (particularly individualist anarchism and post-anarchism) and it's really not hard to see why; his notion of the best ruling is ultimately not dissimilar to the anarchist notions of emergent leadership, and a society where everyone took his ideals to heart would ultimately become rather anarchistic in function (you can't refuse to follow the heard and then subvert yourself to the wishes of society).
>>2547084
His reservations about anarchism had very little to do with the feasibility of the system.
So how did the HRE last for as long as it did? I mean a decentralized blob of petty infighting states seems like it'd be ripe for conquering.
>>2546988
Because even if the emperor could only rely on a quarter of those petty, infighting states, he'd have a big fucking army. It was also densely populated and developed, and combined with the disunity meant the entire empire was heavily fortified and well equipped with lots of manpower to go around.
>>2547020
I guess that makes sense, also speaking of the Emperor what did he even do? I mean all the states in the empire practically functioned like they were independent and even in religious matters the HRE seemed to have relied more so on the will of the Pope and thus the Papal States as opposed to the Emperor.
The HRE is the poster child for being a decentralized petty state with massive infighting, most other feudal states for most history were no better. The Kings of France often contended with powerful nobles such as the Duke of Aquataine, and the English Crown had manage the nation with a Parliament, which not only forced the King to heed the will of the nobles but even that of the burghers.
Notice how during the Medieval period in that .gif the Empire not only managed to survive, but even expand in many areas, but once Centralization began to take root in other European nations, they began losing land and power.

Why the fuck was Poland a second Israel?
1. Germanics and Spaniards chimped out and drove them East
2. Multiple Polish rulers passed edicts guaranteeing the safety of Jews and non-Catholic Christians. Later rulers also granted them commercial privileges.
>>2546948
Jews were accepted in Poland, anti semitic stereotype was started by communist government ironically.
>>2547014
nah, nationalist Poland pre-WWII was very anti-semetic and passsed descriminatory laws against Jews. the Polish underground would refuse and kill Jews who tried to join, though they would cooperate with the Jewish underground in the Warsaw ghetto from time to time to sell weapons
I often here a lot of people state the Third Reich was unsustainable because it was economically dependent on rapid expansionism. Wondering if anyone could develop on this? How was Adolf's economic policies built on this?
>>2546863
Unsustainable war-wise? Or unsustainable peacetime-wise?
>>2546869
Peacetime is what I'm more interested in. I know it lacked sustainability warwise.
Hitler's economic policy was basically 'dude just privatize everything lmao'
he basically invented neoliberalism
Is true that Rome created anime?
No, Greeks did.
>Uwaaaaaaah, Aphrodite-san, I didn't see anything!
>TEIRESIAS NO BAKA
was animu the reason Rome fell?
>>2546926
It is actually kind of interesting, Roman sculpture tends to be a lot more stylised towards the end of the western Empire (though their painting remained the same), some people think this is because Constantine wanted a recognisable style of art that people would know designated work to his reign, and it sort of became a fad because it was quite different.
Why does non-western art suck so much?
Cultural and in some cases religious reasons. I think in japan its mostly because of culture, you were expected to do art in certain ways depending on time. In middle east painting humans was apparently a big nono because of some islam related reason.
Because the Japs never learned about the renaissance.
