Alexander's ''genius'' was literally just pinning down enemies with long phalanx units and then Blitzkrieging them with heavy elite Companion cavalry.

Hello fas/his/ts I have a question. Sorry about that I have no idea what your 4chan moniker is as I never go to this socialist brainwashing centre. What I do wonder is:
Did this ever happen in real life? That generals + advisors + some token guards went and met a similar party from the opposition, to discuss the battle, terms, surrender options etc.
Or did they just send gay ambassadors & envoys in their stead?

Thank you. Any fancy examples you can think of that I might look up? I love the idea of this, the honor and the rules of engagement.

It was extremely rare and usually happened during a bloody stalemates which looked like the opposing forces are just going to grind each other into nothing, not before battles.
Iw was generally a pretty fucking foolish thing to do.

>you have no way to prove that what you read in history books is even 1% true, we are being lied to at this fucking moment, we don't even know what has happened today and who rules over us, we were lied about all the recent wars and all the recent events and you're believing stuff that happened when nobody who's alive today saw. You didn't even see most of the documents, diaries and other evidence that historians use to describe events, and even if you saw them you wouldn't be able to tell if it's a forgery, nor you would be able to tell if what is written is true and not ancient propaganda/fake news/disinformation
How do you respond?

Centuries of interbreeding with the best europe can offer
If you take a good look you'll see that the smartest jews are barely jews at all and are jews only because of their maternity rules. Mizrahi jews are those that are not interbred with europeans and are saudi level dumb and have the same shade of skin
So it's this combined with the fact that they've had a long history of nationalism, egosim, craftyness while making all of this a sin for the rest.
They basically didn't outsmart everyone, they outwitted everyone

When the Gold Coast in 1957 became the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to regain its independence from colonial rule it was renamed in honor of the long gone empire from which the ancestors to the Akan people of modern-day Ghana are thought to have migrated.

Because nazi sympathizers often claim that Dresden was this terrible warcrime that the British did because they're evil and that it was in no way a reaction to anything the nazis did.
>>
>>3270778
The nazis did warcrimes by bombing London and other places yes.
But the allies didn't do warcrimes by bombing Dresden?
What kind of logic is that?
>>
>>3270759
It's irving who made it a meme in the first place with muh 300gorillion, in reality harris is considered a controversial figure by most british ww2 historians with many describing his bombing of dresden as a war crime that went unpunished.

If Hitler hadn't gone into art or politics, what do you think he would have been like as a philosopher?
He had a very unique and interesting worldview based around the concept of struggle and seems like he could have been another in the long line of German continental philosophers.
Could he possibly be thought of as a type of Continental philosopher who sought to find or create meaning collectively through ethnic volkish nationalism as opposed to existentialist individualism from guys like Nietzsche and Stirner?

We already have the answer for this question because Hitler was already a fucking philosopher
>>
Yes, he would be a continental philosopher like Heidegger or Foucalt.
They all have a peculiar love-hate relationship with the "natural". To manipulate the natural world effectively world one must embrace cold unforgiving natural selection and logic. However any notion that science can explain one's own psychology and motivations or even influence them is considered literal heresy, by both the left and the right mind. Hitler never questioned his hatred of the Jews and surety of Aryan superiority. The left stubbornly hold to the clean slate theory and the bias towards blaming capitalism for flaws in human nature. Very different conclusions, similar reasoning.
>>
>>3270635
Hitler, philosopher? The greatest kek ever. Ever read Mein Kampf? Hitler was real retard and idiot. Just this bullshit with "Aryans" proves it. He was strong street politician though, could make inspiring speeches during rallies, which was enough to win authority at that times. Initial success of Nazi Germany was due to general German discipline and efficiency, not due to 'talents' of this asshole.
