Why didnt Napoleon re-invade the ottoman empire? If the british navy was a problem couldnt he literally shut off the entire mediterranean sea to them?
>>1930238
In case you havent noticed he was busy with his neighbours trying to invade him every two years
why didn't napoopan just feed his troops in Russia instead of letting them die????
>>1930238
>Napoopan
>Shut off the Mediterranean.
Anyone that doesn't think he was the greatest general to fight in the war is probably retarded
>>1930146
He was good, but he was severely hampered by false belief that the lives of his men were worth caring about. Based Zukhov had no such weakness. If he encountered a minefield, he ordered his soldiers to attack as if it weren't even there, and if he saw somebody so much as glance downward to look for mines he'd shoot them himself and then throw the poor bastard onto a landmine just to set an example.

What does it mean when you know the basics of the Austro-Hungarian empire but can't speak much about it beyond superficial basics buy everyone you meet IRL doesn't even know what it was or that it existed and the whole concept is completely foreign to them but everyone on the internet seems capable of writing about it at length as if they did their PhD dissertation on it?
>>1929433
I had some faggot try to tell me the Rothschilds rule the world, but he didn't even know the word Hapsburg.
>>1929433
It means you need read more, and stop trying to bring up the Austro-Hungarian empire at sports bars, and bring it up at a meeting of a history club at your local library instead.
>>1929450
Rothschilds are literally no different from any other noble family in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, except DEY'RE JOOS!!
Why aren't civil law countries as litigious as common law countries? Why do common law countries depend so much on the concept of liability?
>>1928768
>Why do common law countries depend so much on the concept of liability?
It's literally irresponsible to do otherwise
>>1928779
In Canada, if a kid walks onto my property, climbs into my tree house, falls out and gets hurt. His family can sue me for not securing my private property.
There's an Ontario act about swimming pools, and homeowners can found criminally liable if there's a death in their pool due to not securing their private property. Seems a bit crazy 2 me
>>1928768
>Why aren't civil law countries as litigious as common law countries?
[citation needed]
Seriously, we've no common law here, and I can't even imagine a country being more litigious than ours and still functional.
Why didn't Sisyphus just let the boulder go?
>>1928252
He understood what it was like to live with a purpose. Pushing the boulder was his purpose. Without it, he would be lost.
Because he was living in an puerile fairy tale
>>1928252
It is a metaphor for existence. To stop trying would destroy Sisyphus, which he evidently deemed a fate worse than existing in misery. To an external observer, both states are lamentable; trying and making no real headway, trapped forever between the precipice of true death and a life as static and unchanging as death.
How does one overcome nihilism

Why do Socialists and Communists still exist?
Alchemists don't exist now, but why do Soc-Coms exist?
You'd think after the biggest political implosion ever, people would reconsider to be more thoughtful.
And after couple more people would be more careful.
And after couple more of the same thing people would simply find a different way.
And after few more of these attempts people would outright denounce it.
It's the only system that reliably turns to shit at the first turn and people somehow are attracted to it.
Can this be categorized as mental illness?
trots will come to this thread and bitch about how soviet union and all other attempts at communism weren't real socialism. it's annoying because we will never be able to disprove trots, since there will never be a world revolution. i just hope that those kids grow up.

Can't you faggots stay in your containment board already? /his/ was fine for a couple of days.
>>1932749
First of all, socialism ≠communism. Literally equating the two does nothing but make you look like the dog-whistle responding mouth breather you are.
Second, you wouldn't know the definition of socialism if a laptop open to the Socialism page on wikipedia fell in your lap AND the world's foremost scholar on the historical development of socialism was sitting next to you while it happened.
>hurrrr anything left of my political stance is socialism durrrr
Do we Americans have the moral obligation to reverse the Indian Removal Act?
Should the tribes get their rightful land and resources back?
Also what caused our Manifest Destiny ideals where we considers ourselves the natives and rightful owers of the continent ?
This thinking that Whites are native to the land continues to this day
Do we Muslims have the moral obligation to reverse the European Shariah Act?
Should the Europeans get their rightful land and resources back?
Also what caused our Jihad via immigration ideals where we considers ourselves the natives and rightful owers of the continent ?
This thinking that Arabs are native to Europe continues to this day
>>1932180
>get their rightful land and resources back?
Most of those tribes stole that land and resources from someone else. Why are they more entitled to it than anyone else?
>>1932180
It is interesting to talk about, though it will be difficult when there's a subboard who already has its opinion ready and who usually doesn't really want to discuss it.
>Should the tribes get their rightful land and resources back?
I'll answer: I feel this would be extremely difficult. I can see how it is justified to make some re.... - can't think of the word - regardless of the actions of the Amerindians.
The usual argument against it is this
>Most of those tribes stole that land and resources from someone else.
But I don't think one wrong doing justifies another wrongdoing.
To be honest this is outside my scope, I am not a philosopher of ethics. I think they could lay out a much better argumentation as me.
If flanking was an issue for them why didnt they just make a circle?
>>1930562
Well-drilled ones like the swiss made squares.
1. How much maneuverability are you going to have in a circle
2. Good luck finding and training soldiers to such an advanced degree pre-Napoleonic era
>>1930562
Alright, you tell your infantry pike dudes to make a circular formation. Now tell them to move.
How did knights/men at arms/soldiers/people in general work out back in the day?
>>1930151
Barbell Incline Press 4x6
Cable Crossover 3x15
Lying Rear Delt Raise 3x15
Upright Barbell Row 3x8
they didn't. they were conscripted from their farms under threat of capital punishment, handed a pike and maybe a helmet and uniform and herded onto a battlefield.

Which is worse: Byzaboos or Prussiaboos?
>>1929942
Prussiaboos by a large margin.
>>1929942
Byzaboos.
An Empire that did nothing but decline and has fuckng fans, jesus christ.
At least Prussians did worthy shit.
>>1929942
Byzantchildren. People who hate Prussiaboos are just either salty Polacks/Frogs or people who hate Nazis and carried it over to the Prussians.
Why do we have an instinctive fear of humanoid creatures with similar altered features like pic related? I get why we have an instinctive fear of large animal-like monsters: our ancestors were once hunted by tigers, bears etc., so it became an evolutionary advantage to fear such creatures. But what could have caused this instinctive fear of monstrous humanoids?
Also connected is the phenomenon of the Uncanny Valley - why we have this genetic fear of beings that are similar to humans but are slightly different? It must be some kind of evolutionary remnant but of what experience in our evolution?
>>1927813
Bodies that look like humans, only "off" in some way, trigger us because our brains assume they must be corpses, and corpses are a source of disease.
>>1927828
I doubt that, the Uncanny Valley effect is rarely triggered by statues for example, it's much stronger if it's something that's moving, like animatronics or bad animation. It seems to me that it's primarily a mechanism that's supposed to warn us about living people/other creatures.
>why do humans fear humans with an appearance outside of the established norm
hurrr OP I wonder really makes you think now that the dust has settled wtf was his problem was it autism?

>A professional dance teacher, Mr Lloyd was not a paid member of staff at the university but worked there part-time as an 'evolutionary psychologist.'
