So, how did we end up getting rid of the anarchist and communist terrorists anyway? They were the big bads of the 1890s-1920s and 1970s-1980s.

"Big bads" meaning "unironically the good guys"

"They" tried killing them but that didn't really work.
>>
Everyone stopped caring as much about anarchism after WW1, and especially after the Soviet Union came along and started to monopolize the market on idealistic misfits.

Communist terrorism kind of dropped off after the USSR fell.

Hey, being curious, can someone describe to me what the industrial music group Laibach stands for? Is it a legitimate political message or is it another one of these music groups that "challenges society"?

>it another one of these music groups that "challenges society"?

This, the latter. Some of their most notable songs are pop covers - critiquing cult of personality in entertainment with their dictator-like artistic image. They also did a cover of abrasive, angry covers of several countries' national anthems and wear the modified uniforms of whatever country they're performing in, stripped of patches and redecorated to look ominous: what else do you think the purpose would be?
>>
>>1414922
Honestly, the number of theories and political identities they wear and imply, makes it virtually impossible for me to dictate that they are "severely fascist" or "parodying it".
>>
>>1414922
A good example is their cover of Queen's One Vision. Lyrics like:

>One man, one goal,
>One mission.
>One heart, one soul,
>Just one solution.
>One flash of light, yeah,
>One god, one vision.

and

>So give me your hands,
>Give me your hearts.
>I'm ready.
>There's only one direction.
>One world, one nation,
>Yeah, one vision.

take on a really different meaning when they're sung in German by a shirtless man, set to a martial anthem and titled "Birth of a Nation."

I'm really a fan of their Sympathy for the Devil cover because of how demonic it sounds compared to the original Rolling Stones caterwauling.

Though honestly I'd say they peaked in the mid 90s. Their newer stuff hasn't been as subversive or entertaining.

>>1414969
IIRC at one point, Laibach was banned simultaneously from preforming in both Yugoslavia and in West Germany/Austria, because the governments thought they were either fascist, communist, or democratic subversives.

But anyways, Zizek did a little talk about what he thinks Laibach's ideology is. It seems pretty on point to me.

The infantry contingents of a traditional consular army during the 4th to 2nd Century BC was two Roman Legions(one per consul)

On top of this the allies were required to match the romans in manpower, so an additional 5000 auxilia would bring the strength up to a total of around 10.000 men.

In theory a consul would only command a single legion, but as the state grew and the wars got bigger they added additional legions when needed.

What spoken language is the most harsh, guttural, and generally just intimidating? Not even strictly currently-spoken languages, I'm also willing to accept dead languages too.

Old Norse? Hittite? Phoenician?

Norse is very sing-songy so definitely not that, it's actually fairly pretty.

Maybe some old slavic I think is most appropriate.

Sumerian isn't that bad, I'm voting for Phoenician here. Sounds like spitting nails.

Is it true that they would shit and piss in their armor sometimes and then clean it out later or is that just an ebin meme?
>>
Knights were like the F-35 of their day. Glorious, flashy, proud and intimidating. They were a huge expense and those boys were prissy as fuck. Knights were used as the elite cavalry employed by Dukes and Earls, and they required a whole staff, multiple horses, and one or two wagons of supplies (plus normal supply train needs if traveling far for battle i.e. England vs. Frants).

In the end, utilizing knights and ragtag missionary forces was a huge expense for lackluster military advantage. Eventually the medieval kingdoms raised and maintained regular disciplined armies and the knights went bye-bye. The Romans went through the same BS in the Republican age. They kept getting bullied and sacked by their neighbors until they realized farmers and shopkeeps with pitchforks led by a few soliders was a shit idea in a growing world.

Modern Russian uniforms are generally a fucking joke. Full dress uniforms tastelessly mix together Russian Imperial and Brezhnev era Soviet Army elements and service uniforms make soldiers wearing them look like mall cops.

Everything regarding airborne is especially terrible.

One good thing I can give them credit for, however, is that they finally got rid of the humongous caps you could land a helicopter on, pic related.

I was thinking about Kant today and I realised that the Categorical Imperative really is a flawless. The only major """"""""criticism"""""""" put forward is the Inquiring Murderer and Kant turned upside on its head and claimed that the dilemma was really just an extreme hypothetical example of the Categorical Imperative in practice.

I'm serious, all the criticisms I see are just opinions like "too dogmatic", "self righteous", or "overzealous".

So /his/, was Kant right? Are we dutifully obligated to never violate universal laws no matter how harmless they seem and uphold Good without hesitation?

Thinking about deleting all of my pirated books, video games and tv shows. He's got me pretty well convinced

Does anyone else unironically think the Axis were the good guys and at the same time disagree with almost all of Hitler's major decisions?

>stood idle while Finland and Romania were attacked by Stalin
>failed to get Britain on his side
>persecution of minorities in Germany only hindered the war
>failed to persuade Poland - possibly the most anti-Russian country in Europe - to join the Axis
>allowed the British to retreat at Dunkirk
>didn't force Spain's hand
>didn't force Finland's hand
>treated the Baltic states as conscripts instead of allies
>helped Italy for reasons that aren't immediately obvious
>treated the Ukrainians very poorly and removed Bandera
>treated the Croatians rather poorly
>failed to guard Antonescu from Romanian traitors
>didn't use chemical weapons even when it became obvious the Axis was going to lose

Just...why? Even Wagner would've been a more conscientious commander-in-chief, for fucks' sake.
