The Romans got their shit kicked in for the whole war, and won anyway. After all the great battles he fought he deserved to come home victorious. RIP Hannibaby

What's the problem with that? There isn't a one-to-one correspondence or continuity between most historical entities and modern ones.

Even if there's isn't I'd still like to know the area.

Then ask or look it up. It's a very basic thing but delineating the exact borders at some exact time is more complex.

What the fuck was his problem? Has any leader every hated their own country as aggressively as Gorbachev has? The only one that I think comes close is Yeltsin.

If history is written by the victor then how do we know it is not entirely falsified?

Your power level is rising young frogger but the true redpill is that nothing can be indisputably proven even if there is "proof"
The only real evidence we have of past events is the present
Thought is the though of thought
evidence is the evidence of evidence
Time itself is a meme all that we can be sure of is the present and we can reasonably expect that there more of the present later, but not forever

What names no longer exist in Germany because of WW2? Can't imagine there's many Adolfs for example.

Adolf was a popular name not only in Germany, but also in other countries that were historically a part of the Germanosphere, like Czechoslovakia, Hungary or Poland. It completely vanished after WW2.
>>
>>2320233
Adolfo is still common in spanish speaking counties, at least in latin america.
>>
>>2320233
>Poland
Can confirm. Had an elderly uncle (born in 1910s) named Adolf. The name completely vanished by now.

>The commercialized mass press expanded the public sphere, but its political character was lost because of commercial, consumer attitude. Critical publicity is supplanted by manipulative publicity.
>Today, conversation is administered, rational debate has changed into a production number for radio and television stars, a saleable package ready for the box office. The public sphere assumes advertising functions.
>Journalistic principles have weakened, the culture-consuming public (from the cultural public sphere) have attained dominance at the expense of the political public sphere. Competition between organizied private interests invaded the public sphere.

Habermas also fully understood how the internet worked. He argued in 2008 when everyone else was hyping how internet and social media in particular would make people more politically aware, that it actually causes a differentiation of the public sphere into smaller sub-spheres that are only marginally connected to the public strings of debate, thus undermining the public discourse and not contributing to it, perfectly predicting the concept of echo-chamber before it had fully manifested as we see it today.

I didn't study any philosophy or history (or literature) in college. I studied comp sci. I feel quite stupid and uncultured and I'm wondering if its too late for me. Is it enough to just read books? And if so, what books do I read. I feel like I have missed out on my last chance at learning these things properly as I will never be given essays to write and have them critiqued and I will have no set outline of what I should be studying.

Why does almost everyone in the world either advocate for some form of capitalism or some form of socialism? Surely those two systems are only a small fraction of the possible economic systems that humans could structure themselves in. I can understand that those two systems are discussed a lot because much of the world lives in those two systems. However, I don't see why that would stop people from coming up with alternative systems to advocate, or even stop people from advocating older systems such as feudalism.
