Emperor Constans, who was known for starting up intimate 'relationships' with the burly and handsome "barbarian" hostages in his court.

Sounds like a pretty cool guy, desu. Would definitely be his friend so I too could gain access to those burly Germanic husbandos.

I always thought it was because they fought in World War II and the whole, "Nazism was the greatest evil known to man and we defeated it." thing.

Did they do anything comparatively great besides that?

>>1427933
No.

That's literally it.

And it's bullshit.

The Nazis were a dictatorship that tried to wipe out a few peoples. Woo. We've had tons of those. Some of them succeeded.

Only difference is the Nazis are recent.

>>1427912
'great' and 'better' are all so subjective.

Let me ask you this, is your life without struggle? Do you go through life experiencing no problems at all? Just because you are not suffering for extreme financial deprivation doesn't mean you don't know what suffering is. Every human being on this planet has suffered in one way or another.

Suffering creates compassion. The greater the suffering the greater the compassion. But do you NEED to suffer to be compassionate?

Short term optimates though Caesar ended up paving the way for Imperium so he ended up being the good guy.

Populares if they weren't power hungry 90% of the time.

Optimates trampled all over the plebs in regards to land rights all the time for their own gain.

Populares.

Tiberius Gracchus did nothing wrong.

It seems to me that the Russian-Ukranian war is one of them. Russians geniunely think they aren't fighting.

>>1427695
every English colonial war that was fought against the natives

tallented bantz, no memes tho

Diogenes is the real meme maker, is the original pepe-wojak duo with plato

Cicero was a professional shitposter

Churchill

>>1427671
stalin wouldn't hide his boner, he would just fuck over his high ranking officers.

Churchill is hiding a boner, Roosevelt is having a stroke, and Stalin is remembering that he was supposed to kill somebody today

>>1427665
there's been places where similar things have happened, namely shit people wrote down in the more preserved ancient towns, including a treasure trove of shit from Pompeii that includes everything from daily gossip to political commentary.

it's actually pretty funny that we get to see shit like "I'm fucking Lucius' wife" 2200 years later.

That's pretty much how the Voynich manuscript came to be

>>1427740
And also the Priory of Sion, which was created for the lols by a French con-artist who went around planting fake documents in archives.

>>1427660
They invented the wheel and shiet. Also I guess Europe and Iran are good places to build an empire

>>1427660
Because chariots made it the most widespread language family in various parts of Eurasia, which inevitably lead to it being spoken by the civilizations that eventually rose in those areas, one of which conquered the world.

You mean why were the Spanish, English, and French so successful?

Because let's be honest it was pretty much all them.

>without the assistance of college classes
Why? If you just want to learn these things, there are plenty of free courses online from very reputable schools.

Here's one link I have saved.

>Also, what would /his/ recommend to someone who's trying to learn economics by himself, at home, without the assistance of college classes?

>>1427507
Most of the online courses I've come across are just too superficial. I have indeed started some of them, though I haven't finished a single one.

>>1427513
I'll look it up. Thank you.

De Maistre is probably a good start.
I guess that's traditionalism or reactionary conservatism.
You should also give Nietzsche a look, but you will have to think for yourself a bit, too.

Juche.

>>1427473
That sounds like that one Greek philosopher. I forget his name but he said something like this and about democracy.

>>1427459
Literally who ?

>>1427472
Art historian who had a few shows on BBC and PBS back in the 90s.

I remember seeing her talk about the crack of an ass and something something.

Really.

/his/ is not one person therefore there is no list of /his/ approved movies.

>I'd like to watch something

There are countless historical time periods, events, and genres that would make a film qualify as a /his/ movie. What are you interested in?

>>1427326
Something entertaining rather than a straight documentary as long as historical inaccuracies are minor, or hilariously wrong/"alternate history"/what-if taking place anywhere between the Age of Sail and the fall of the Soviet Union

>>1427320
Finding Private Ryan is unironically an excellent movie in this regard. Obviously there is bias towards the Americans but overall the structure of the army(s) and especially the nature of the combat is pretty spot on. But I'll be surprised if you browse /his/ and haven't watched it already.

Not so sure exactly how accurate it is, but Beneath Hill 60 is a nice WWI film about Australian sappers.

Brain's a bit blank at the moment so can't help you more, sorry!

wtf i love hitler now: the quizz

too one sided towards Hitler. The man wasnt a saint

>>1427318
>>1427296
yeah I have a feeling normies will probably fall for it unfortunately

I assume it's a reference to Polish military units that were organized in the West after Poland was occupied and its government went into exile.
