Do you guys like alternate history? what are some of your favorite pieces of this genre?
>>1774331
Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg. Another althistory I like is Timeline 191.
>>1774444
>Italy splitting up
>Austria Hungary still existing
>Russia not commie
>>1774534
Italy was split into a confederation of nobles and the Pope in the North and the kingdom of the Two Sicilies after WWI, the Austro-Hungarians are only nominally united and tend to fall apart in game, and Russia is in a Weimar Republic scenario, with a government that falls to a Nazi equivalent, commies, or monarchists about 75% of the time.
Tell me about the Russo-Japanese war /his/. I'm becoming very interested in it.
>Russia wants korea
>Japan wants Manchuria
>war over trains
>Port arthur Japan sustains colossal casualties but still wins
>Russians tired and revolution stirs
>tsar kill people but gives up
>Japan wins and becomes great power

OP ask me anything, I'll answer as best as I can.
Nihilism is the new face of God. The reaction to the groundlessness of human constructs is in itself a transcendental disposition, whereby the fixed point of God is replaced by a lacuna. The silence's yearning for God IS God.
Nihilism is the birth pang of a higher spirituality.
nah
>>1773150
I disagree anon. I also disagree with your flamboyant use of the word lacuna.
I would say that nihilism means that something new is coming, but "birth pang" is a bit much...
>>1773150
>Nihilism is the birth pang of a higher spirituality.
I agree. When trying to build in a void, you wouldn't use the same techniques one would use to build on solid ground. From nihilism, we acknowledge the truly baseless nature of our values, and can build value systems meant to withstand the void of nihilism.
What would have been the German equivalent of Nurember Trials if Nazis had won WW2?
shoot first trial later
>>1780225
Doubtful. The Nazi Government wouldn't have missed a golden opportunity such as this for propaganda's sake.
Comparable to Stalin's show trials at the very least.
>>1780220
There likely wouldn't have been one. Even scenarios where the Germans "win" WW2 liekly don't involve a total victory over their foes, but rather taking a certain amount of territory and then negotiating to hold on to some or most of it. There was no way the Heer was going to be conducting victory parades in London, let alone Washington, and even Moscow is extremely low orders of probability.

What's a historical misconception that you either hear frequently or that bothers you?
Mine is people thinking that Socrates and Plato and Aristotle and folks like that lived at the same time as the Roman Empire.
>>1779860
they didnt?

what about that painting of diognes and ceaser meeting?
How were the various Iranian centered empires in history so huge? Each one, including the ones half the size of the Achaemenids, stretched from the Himalayas to Anatolia. The Romans and Chinese had lots of seas and rivers to aid in communication, but the Iranians just had mountains and deserts that in Europe would have broken them up into a half dozen kingdoms.
>>1779522
>what is the Iranian Plateau
>>1779522
Persian light infantry and bowmen as well as the parthian horsemen and sassanian cataphracts were some of the strongest units of the ancient world.

Horse archers, not horsemen.
It is within each of us. The moment we stop trying to find it outside of ourselves, we realize that we are a part of it.

Everyone who desires to be free from all anxieties should always hear about, glorify and remember the Personality of Godhead, who is the supreme director of everything, the extinguisher of all difficulties, and the Supersoul of all living entities." (SB 2.1.5)
Please recommend me some sources that propose that Free Will is real. I'm talking top philosophers, renowned scientists, documentaries and books.

The greatest battle of all time
NEETs vs. workers
Who would win, /his/?
It was a hard fight, the workers had superior training, weapons, and armor. The Neets 4-chan, memes, ifunny, video games, pepe, and the entire funny part of the internet on their side.
The workers were confused with the shitty memes being thrown at them, allowing the Neets to set up a flank and surround the workers. The workers were surrounded, until the IRS(archers) started firing taxes at the NEETS forcing them to return. But the Neets had their taxes paid for by their Mom(General).
The workers set up their flank just in time, preventing the neets from doing a other flank. The neets were desperate they were under heavy fire from the IRS and the workers were pushing forward. The neets had no choice but to activate their ultimate weapon.../B/. This caused many of the workers a heart attack and made the entire worker army break causing them to retreat granting the NEETS a victory over the Amazon River Of Good Prices.
>>1778832
>implying you be able to get neets to go outside and fight a battle
>>1778931
Exactly this. It's a trick question because the shit would never happen in the first place. There's no tendies outside.

Would Fascist Italy still exist if they never got involved in WW2 or would the Jews find a way to have them submit to their International Jewry scheme?
Its posts like that which will get this board deleted in the Great Bandwidth Purge, gj op

True. We only need /pol/ after all.
The jew always finds a way because wherever he is, he must also jew the goyim over
Was there ever a nation in history more backstabbing and jewish than Venice?
Well israel comes to mind
Kingdom of Israel
Kingdom of Judah
Roman Province of Judea
Khazar Empire
Soviet Union
Israel
>>1778221
A very great many. Venice being backstabby is as much of a meme as France being bad at war.
Has there ever been a society that based law on aesthetics rather than economy or politics? Where in court or before the ruler you did not argue that you had the legal authority for your actions, but that what you did was more beautiful than alternatives?
Economy and politics are both subjective and arbitrary enough, how could you conceive a system of law based on something as fleeting as "beauty"?
>>1778032
Contemporary western culture is the only one I can think of where beautiful people get off with lighter sentences or warnings.
>>1778043
Really?
