Not literally the history of atlantic. Actually, the post refers, i think, to the perspective (metodology, theory, and so on) of some historians when they talk about the history of America, Africa and west Europa. Again: i think.

Germans were extremely butthurt after WW1
Foch knew it, which is why he made that predication upon seeing that Versailles was too lenient with Germany to prevent them from trying to get revenge a few decades later

Post-WW2 was infinitly harsher (country divided in two entities, military occupation still applied to this day...) which is why the Germans were never able to chimp out again
>>
>>1567566

Was it lenient? I thought it was the opposite and they were forced to pay a huge sum and weren't allowed a real army.
>>
>>1567586
>I thought it was the opposite

You were memed with the German apologist version taught at school in order to rehabilitate Germans without touching at the "muh 6 millions" WW2 evilness
Just compare Versailles with Post-WW2 peace and you'll see how lenient it was

Do you think he killed the Soviet Union on purpose?

I like to think that it was his major goal his whole life. Maybe he lost a close relative to this regime, maybe several - who knows?

State Committee on the State of Emergency killed Soviet Union, Gorby wanted to preserve it. In fact, everyone in the ruling body wanted to preserve it but then August Coup happened.

As far as his economic reforms go, it wasn't on purpose either. They were done perfectly according to Marxist economic standards, except the whole system was so fucked even the slightest touch would have ruined it either way. Plus you know, they were Marxist economic standards.

All I know is that the christians were fighting the muslims, and then the christians started killing a bunch of muslims to the point where NATO considered it genocide, so Bill Clinton started bombing them

Mr. Green is that you?

too be fair the term "dark ages" was describing a period BETWEEN the fall of Rome and the Middle Ages.

and the reason why it was called that was because Historians didn't know that much about it for awhile (because most of the writings were destroyed so they are left in the dark about it).

as an anglo-saxon easily stalin. communisms the bad guy. russias the cold waste barron scorched earth putin bear eating motherfucks.

hitlers just some guy who lost the fight good game jolly good show shake hands and walk away and all that.

thats what i was taught in school

as i grow older i respect the entire board a lot more and enjoy stalin as a personal figure probably more than hitler, however ill one day learn german and look at the primary sources of the latter a whole lot more closer

however in my instinctual state of ignorance fuck them both, they werent english, just late to the party, like controlled opposition. shame they didnt convert to english, its why we have a paradigm right now. native born english speaking predominantly white & anglo-saxon (talking like close to the uncle edward7 bloodlines is what my worldview is orientated by. the rest is cameos, feats., & hon. ment's.

I have been watching "The Caesars" from 1968 and am loving it. only have 2 parts left. The actor for Tiberius is phenomenal and lends a lot of weight to the entertainment value.

What else should be watched?. Any era, though OP is a romaboo.


Bonus points if you can post more color stills from "The Caesars" It truly is a shame they filmed in black and white, the sets and costumes look great.

Some, if not most, of the late 40's-1960's WWII movies are fucking sweet. A Bridge Too Far, The Longest Day, etc. 99% of the old WWII movies are better than anything that has come out in the last 20 years.

>yfw the centaur isn't a steppe creation

Why would it be? It makes more sense as an imagined creature of people who don't live on the steppe, like the Assyrians did with mermaids.

>>1566889

Which is exactly why they would think the concept of a centaur is ridiculous and any accounts of it would be dismissed as a person riding a horse.

A lot of mythological accounts of strange and farfetched creatures and events come from people not used to such things/ unfamiliar with them or otherwise hyper-exaggerated accounts or twisted through chinese whispers and hearsay.

What went wrong with philosopy? Seems to me that most of the modern stuff developed into impractiable, overly complicated intellectual wankery.

See the trolly problem in the pic. I mean, it makes it seem like there are only three choices, but life is more complicated than this. It completely discards a huge amount of variables to the situation, imho because it make a "philosophical discussion" impossibe because it falsy assumes equality.

The single guy for instance could be the father of one of the other 4. The guy pulling the lever might hate one of the person, or being love. Maybe two are twins and one of those might lying on each rail.

I get the fat man version might introduce more option but still suffers the problem of the above. And even if it wasn't, you still don't know what the philosopher would do, if he found himself in a situation like. It's a bit like a guy who never was in physical fight and thinks he could salto around and snap your neck in flight.

Yeah but the point of hypotheticals is to remove all factors and leave you with choices that show the effects of moral axioms completely.

Of course reality isn't as simple as that, but that's not the point either.

what if u pulled it at just the right time for the momentum & trajectory of the force to fling the carriage off the tracks, saving everyone (possibly killing the hundred in the carriage you didnt know about), or yet it slides to a gentle half next to the 2 paths, harmlessly avoiding any injury, or whats more runs over a school of children & ducklings
>>
>>1566637
But having those kind of hypotheticals are useless in reality. If anything such hypotheticals, or having a judgement, proves this is a moral statement already. Because it discards the question of individual innocence, in order to have the discussion and to make potential judgements in the future possibly.
