We got the banh mi sandwich out of the deal, I'm ok with it.

Seriously though, the Brits seem very proud of their empire, but at the end of the day, their empire was pretty useless against the Axis.

Wannabe Rasputin

His critique of liberalism is interesting, and should give the West a moment of reflection.
The problem is the determinism he uses. The thing with degradation is that it applies to every system. The problem lies in its capability to communicate its value and make up to the next generation, to assure its continuation...and in that regard we are failing, but damn...we have been going with modernity for some time now.
I agree with Dugin on a lot, but he should be regarded as a wake up call coming from the outside, to apply some introspection. We have most of the answers we need within our modern tradition, we just got lost during the 1960's when we entered into the post-modern retardation....that was basically a generation shitting on their responsibility to understand what they inherited, and creating the mess we need to clean up today....if it will not just outright destroy us first.
Seriously, the technological changes creating a different social context has been going on for a fucking long time now...its just these fucking neo-progressives who think they are ''wise'' in dealing with it, but they failed...and it starts to show ''bigly''

They've almost always been as far back as effectively commanding their army can allow. It's not cowardice either, killing the general at the outset is a near guarantee way to lose the battle and possibly war.

Are you mentally challenged?

No, the Great Man view lf historiography is thoroughly ludicrous and has been debunked with many good counterpoints.

I believe that the general gist of it all can be found on wikipedia under Great Men Theory if you want to look in further.

>>2072860
>>2072860

Can we debunk it again? I've read the wikipedia page for it and I remain unconvinced.

Let's take Genghis Khan. On one side of the argument we have the Great Man understanding of history, in which Genghis, the exceptional figure and highest specimen of man, takes the reins of history and ushers in a new era. In the arguments opposing this view we simply point to a myriad of different factors of Mongolian culture, geographical location, social factors, etc. and say that Genghis Khan is simply the product of his environment. But this seems to imply that if Genghis Khan had never been born, the environment would remain essentially the same (as it had for centuries before that) and it also implies that a Genghis Khan figure was inevitable. And that to me seems thoroughly ludicrous.

>>2072916

And what about Mohammed? What about his founding a new, extraordinarily influential faith can be explained by the environment he was raised in? Surely others raised in that same environment were not bound to become the prophet of Islam.

Because Napoleon raped their ass

>>2072935
But he lost.

>>2072828
Because the way Napoleon fought, he just went for fatal blow every time, not only tactically but also strategically.

The Great Spooks War of 1917.

Capitalism, because capitalism will tend to be in your self interest in the early stages of capitalism and late stages of feudalism. It's only under developed capitalism does capitalism start to go against your self interests.

Sounds pretty cool desu.

Construct fortifications and delay their advance until reinforcement comes from the Brits, then pincer attack them.

>>2071727
let them have it and go for more relevant islands instead

>>2071689
Yeah, but they can be more or less centrally planned.

Yes, it's a matter of who you put the planning load on and how it's structured. Letting consumers plan their own lives and manufacturers and distributors plan their own activities (kind of) works.

And what did the Bible prophecise?

>>2071427
Most early prophecy appears to be an artifact of visionary mysticism, at least in the OT. See: Ezekiel, Daniel, etc.

>>2071427
Not all of them, some are just construed to fit future events. Something common with all sorts of prophecies

He pussied out.

Honestly?
Because he wanted to get his men closer to the allies for surrender purposes.
He could have attacked but everybody who wasn't insane knew that the war was lost and it was every man for himself.

Steiner DID attack, just to the west to fight his way to the Americans so he wouldn't have to surrender to the Soviets.
Soviet gulags had a horrible reputation of killing german prisoners.
