Not really though. We're seeing a bubble but it too will burst.

The thing is western liberals are Islam enablers. They think it's a racial group lol instead of a competing ideology.

yeah punk, you got something to say speak up!

Was he history's first globalist?

He told his soldiers to marry Persian women and become "New Persians." after sacking their capital. Had he lived longer, would he have encouraged mass Greek immigration to his new lands?

He did have a plan for massive population transfers of Greeks and Persians into the other lands in order to merge the races of his empire. He kept a list of his soldiers who took Persian wives in order to give them a large payment. He himself had an Indian and two Persian wives, his half Indian son was unfortunately killed with his mother Roxana before he could come of age.

Thats not globalism at all. Globalism is more of an economic and legal doctrine than anything, with the movement of populations a byproduct of that. Alexander was one of historys more famous advocates of miscegenation.

Oh jee, I guess because he was never a wagecuck that means he's not allowed to have an opinion.

Oh wait, he was a journalist. He actually did work, it's just that forest apes have a hard time admitting that because they think all work = hard labor

He was already a world reknowned artist and risked his career to innovate new ways of human expression.

He also was alive during a very tumultuous time in Europe, and made several paintings that reflect the way people were looking at themselves during the time.

Also, the dude fucked.

The recent liberal obsession with demonising Churchill is very annoying.

My first history lesson at uni, churchill came up, immediately this liberal whiny cunt started saying how he hates churchill because he was a racist

Like fuck if you're going to start judging everyone by those standards why the fuck are you doing history

He didn't get away, he wasn't even reelected. The public was very aware of the fact that he was responsible for all that shit that happened was about to happen. He even said himself that he'd defeated the wrong enemy.

>Tokugawa shogunate had 500 years of peace, no wars
>large domestic trade sector, agriculture burgeoning, no unemployment
>large internal trade led to prosperous markets, cities, castle towns across Japan
>Meiji restoration destroys Japanese culture turns it into a fascist state bent on war and leaves Japan in a pile of ashes

Modern Japan is much more similar to the Shogunate, with the Emperor being like a ceremonial figurehead rather than a despot like in Imperial Japan. The PM is like the role of the shogun

Why have Native Americans historically never progressed in terms of technology? I know greek/roman civilization had an enormous impact on all of Europe and Asia, but even the most barbaric Germanic and Scythian tribes could manufacture armor and iron weapons en masse in the classical era, while the Native Americans were still running around with flint axes right up to Cortez...

The Incans had cities, large aqueducts, a functional empire-wide bureaucracy and tax/conscription system, and early bronze-working technology. They had a handful of bronze tools.
