there's no successor to nietzsche because nietzsche stands in a class of his own opposing the last 2,000 years of western thought

Just read Being and Time and an Introduction to metaphysics.

Bowden gives a bit of an introduction to his philosophy:

He was the sole cause why the Byzantine front collapsed to Sassanians. Phokas was quite effective in defending the border until Heraclius appeared.

The whole fame that Heraclius enjoys is mostly just propaganda employed by the dynasty he founded.

John J Norwich's books are dope. I'm reading "The Middle Sea: a History of the Mediterranean"

Moscow wasn't Russia's capital in napoleonic times.

Russia is like the guy that was born in a dumpster behind arctic circle and had to do whatever he had to do to survive. No wonder silverspoon fed fuckers don't get him.

>>1717585
In the modern era?
It's literally just propaganda. Russia lies to itself and the world, and has been doing so non-stop since the 40's.
It's not an open society with free press, so good information doesn't come out, and what we do get tends to be fucking useless.

It's hard to understand a people who've been fed bullshit for so long that they believing it, while simultaneously assuming everything is a plot (because it probably is) while also being drunk and suffering a multi-decade national identity crisis.

Yes
Property and possession are associative values; they only mean any thing to the people that put trust into those constructs.

There are two modes in which one can own property.
Personal property:
By association alone, one simply assumes property ownership as a form of value relative to their own identity. For example, I like green, and my sister likes pink; we simply assume ownership of anything given to us that is either green or pink, according to our preference. The conflict exists if we both like blue, and we're presented with 1 item that's blue, and the item then goes to the one who can prove more ownership of that value.

State-protected property:
In feudal theory, the state is the greatest source of war because it has nothing to do with the people who live on the land but the state that owns the land rights (which only exist on paper). If two states assume the same land, they cause a solution-less conflict, because the people (regardless of whether they identify as one state or another) are forced to be a part of one state whether or not they associate with that state. The state of poland, for example, has no right to the Germans who live in Poland, thus it should have been part of German soil. However, Germany had no right to subject all Germans to the same state or government either, as the Germans in Germany might consider themselves ethnically different than the Germans in Austria.

To clarify, I'm asking about private property in the sense of society demanding that contracts and deeds are used to exchange individually owned resources and prove owership. Not hereditary or obligation based societies.

Blacks didn't want to be a part of a colony as non citizens

They wanted to be US citizens and only 13 000 made the trip which is pretty small.

It's an open question whether mathematical truths actually exist, but the idea that they do (known as mathematical platonism/mathematical realism) has slightly more supporters in philosophy than the opposing view. I suggest reading the SEP articles on mathematical platonism and nominalism if you want a survey of the arguments on each side.

>>1717362
Well when you say, "truth," I imagine you mean something like, 'truth of about how the universe actually is' or something along these lines. I imagine that this question is up for debate, but math definitely gives us logical truths that are of a pure form (however they still rely on some pre-held beliefs like the law of non-contradiction). That is to say, there are truths within the field of math. For example, 2+2=4. So the sentence, two plus two equals four has a truth value of true. In this way, there is truth involved in math. However, 2+2=4 isn't telling us much; it's only telling us that 4=4. So in this way, math's 'type of truth' is not very informative. Leibniz said that all logical apriori truth (math, for example) boils down to this type of truth. The type that only tells us what we already know; 4=4, all bachelors are unmarried men, etc.

>The type that only tells us what we already know

So there are never any mathematical breakthroughs in her field, basically

>>1716757

This. Trots are immense pissbabbys who seek to subvert other leftwing groups to their cause.

They're eternally butthurt that Trotsky was kicked out before he could actually really try anything about governing Russia.

You're entirely at the behest of whatever noble/king/town boss is ruling over you. I'm sure some were benevolent but it was basically like the mafia. Either pay your taxes or get your farm taken away and your kneecaps broken.

Bad crop yield this season? Fuck you, pay me.

Entire family contracted a plague? Fuck you, pay me.

Footmen from the village down the road looted your stores? Fuck you, pay me.

Don't forget that a big component of government are the watchdog agencies making sure the executive plays by the rules.

a good dichotomy you can use is survival values vs decadent values

in the middle ages, what kept you from getting killed or starving to death was good. thus, marrying young was good. preserving virginity was good. killing your enemy was good.

this seems to be a scheme that applies universally.

today we have fulfillment/hedonic values. whatever brings pleasure is good, sometimes up to and beyond the point of hurting people to get what you want. modern riots are a good example o this "I WANT it, and it makes me pleasure, therefore it's good, and you can't kill rioters."

enforcement of medieval law was spread out among all people because survival generally entailed the same thing for all people. no stealing, no promiscuous sex (which could lead to starvation,) so centralized law wasn't needed.

centralized law only came to be necessary once disparate values for "what makes someone feel good" had to be universally enforced by gunpoint.

that said, the world wasn't kinder back then. you could do whatever you could get away with. private property of kings wasn't off the table for theft, it's just that it eventually evolved into an equilibrium of hostage negotiations being more valuable than outright murder between competitors.

read about nash equilibria n competetive games. medieval dynamisc cold be adequately framed in such terms

a lord could be more easily killed by his own citizens than by a rival lord.

lords were lords because they were killers, let's nt mince words, but so are modern day presidents, even the democrats.

taxes were extremely hard to collect until the late feudal period. they could incite rebellions, they could starve your peasantry and reduce future yields (this was more common among stupid sand niggers than among whites, who are capable of thinking about the future) there was also the matter of your tax collectors stealing from YOU.

history isn't a grimdark fantasy. as time went on, people slowly became nicer and evolved institutions of trust. the church helped a great deal in this

I don't think that's what Africa really needs 2bh
Jokes on African-Americans aside, doesn't the educated diaspora benefit the countries they migrated from to some degree? Most of them probably send money to their relatives on a regular basis.
