What are people's favorite theories?
What are the probable ones?

I still maintain that your pic is both the most reasonable and probable.

Lacks diversity.

Where are the black philosophers you CIS piece of shit.

Nobody cared, no oil back then..

... Persians have a history of annexing the Oman area.

They didn't really care. Persia took control of the southeastern coastline (Oman/Yemen/etc) for sailing purposes but not much came out of it. The northernmost tribes would sometimes be employed by either side as mercenaries.

They were both in deep enough shit without the sudden unification and rise of muslims anyway. Economically and militarily depleted and with tons of internal conflict, especially in Persia.

Fun fact: Sassanid lands were steadily converting to nestorian christianity. Zoroastrianism was a thing of the urban upper class. If the islamc conquests never happened, modern Iran might've ended up christian, not zoroastrian.

Any older /his/torians have Desert Storm trading cards as a kid?

Because they feared being bogged down in a costly guerilla war.

>In 1992, the U.S. Defense Secretary during the war, Dick Cheney, made the same point:

>I would guess if we had gone in there, we would still have forces in Baghdad today. We'd be running the country. We would not have been able to get everybody out and bring everybody home.

>And the final point that I think needs to be made is this question of casualties. I don't think you could have done all of that without significant additional U.S. casualties, and while everybody was tremendously impressed with the low cost of the (1991) conflict, for the 146 Americans who were killed in action and for their families, it wasn't a cheap war.
>And the question in my mind is, how many additional American casualties is Saddam (Hussein) worth? And the answer is, not that damned many. So, I think we got it right, both when we decided to expel him from Kuwait, but also when the President made the decision that we'd achieved our objectives and we were not going to go get bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq.[122]

It's not an issue of Nationalism rather the role and existence of inequality in their respective ideologies, that leads to the two being defined as left and right wing respectively (though nationalism can be tied to the concept of inequality)


'Right wing' ideologies tend to believe that inequality is not an evil, but something that is to be accepted or in fact a positive (eg: muh motivation to work), while 'Left wing' ideologies see any form of inequality as an evil stemming from power structures established by the bourgeoisie, and aim for a society without inequality (eg; muh from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs)

Because the left/right dichotomy is an inherently flawed system.

>>>/pol/

we have this exact thread already

also /pol/ is no different from the woman in that comic. if you don't believe me, go make a really mild joke about white people on /pol/. say they can't dance or their food tastes under-seasoned. watch the tears and defense force and infopics pour in.

>I don't know a thing about progressives!
>I just have this handy, skewed political comic for /no reason/

Nope, not a bait thread at all.

>technological and scientific advancement which is far more important?
to what?

>>1397228
To showing the average day to day life of the people who lived during those times and how the world has changed to become what it is today.

If I want to know what the average day for a farmer was, what he used to farm and farming techniques are more important than who was in office.

>>1397191
Because, depending on the specific class, the curriculum is either set by the state which has a vested interest in its political history, a committee of politicians and interest groups which have specific cultural and policy views in mind, or an education department looking to standardize the subject and have students learn to pass their tests first and foremost, which usually focus on memorizing important names and dates.

That's as old as the office of presidency.

John Tyler had people constantly address him as "his accidency" because he kind of glided into the job.

>>1397189
During the Populist era, there was strong sentiment that the president just represented the interests of the wealthy, so I wouldn't say there's anything new about it. The post-World War II years of Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy may be an exception, outside of the few die-hard communists.

This is offensive to the Askaris who put their lives on the line for European ambitions. DICE ought to be boycotted.

Gnosticism?

[I posted this on /tv/ too, but I don't put too much trust in that board's capability of discourse and what I'm talking about is, albeit in a very simplified and not novel form, philosophy of cinema, so I hope it may fly on this board as well]

I recommend posting this on /lit/, they actually have some good discussions about there.

He's overrated as both a general and a man. Jackson and Forrest were both superior commanders on the confederate side and grant was a superior commander overall

Damn good looking fellow though

>>1396976
I mean, he was the best general of the Civil war.

This is because the Northern generals were criminally incompetent the entire way through. Nobody outside of the U.S. Navy even remotely did their jobs in the war to any extent that they can be called competent.

>>1397009

Just a quick little specification, whenever I say best commander I mean in terms of commanders of whole army. I agree that there are scores of Rebel generals who I think would've made great leaders of whole armies or large corps commanders had they had the chance, Patrick Cleburne comes to my mind personally.

But yeah I think that Lee being the stoic, gentlemanly Virginian made him very easy to romanticize and idolize, which Lost Causers to this day never fail to do so. He was by all accounts a respectable man but one whose reality is not so glorified or bloated as his celebrity status paints him.

Speaking of Grant, people call Grant a butcher who used sheer numbers to win but while he did have some bloody offensive failures, that's just not true. His campaigns in the West, especially in Mississippi capturing Vicksburg prove otherwise. A man who entrenched and besieged his foe into submission on two huge occasions is not a mindless butcher. That being said he did what McClellan wouldn't do, and that was use his resources to his advantage to press Lee. He'd get in a bloody brawl and sometimes get straight beat but still keep on the offensive, since he knew that he could replace his losses but Lee couldn't.
