Waterloo movie appreciation thread?

Back in the late 70's they used to run this late at night. Never during the early evening though.

Lost a lot of sleep watching this whenever it came on.

Weirdest thing is that the movie was made by the Soviets and used actual soviet soldiers as extras.

>>1339367
No you don't. I do on the other hand. Trust me. I'm a genius.
>>
>>1339369
the quote is more about being aware that eventually you know nothing and that you should always seek knowledge with an innocent manner, as if you don't know anything and always wish to learn more, it's a manner of approach to knowledge so you won't get too self-confident and make ethical mistakes, not to reject all knowledge as unattainable.

'm writing an article about how Lebanon from being major Christian state became muslim majority country. Maybe you could tell me about this or maybe you could send me some statistics about population growth/decline?

You're obviously not qualified to write this article. Who commissioned it? Was it a major news organisation?

No. I belong to organization against mass immigration to Europe. Basically what I've read that christian/muslim population changed during 2nd part of 20th century. But I can't find any statistics more or less about Lebanon population in 1910s, 1920s. And I have a bacherol degree in history as history teacher

>The Classical Greeks were a society of homosexuals
>The Classical Greeks were a society of pederasts

How true are the above statements?

Are they firmly grounded in fact, or are they primarily a product of smears by later conquerors?

Or is it just our modern prudishness that magnifies something which wasn't a big deal or particularly significant back then, and so shouldn't be now?

Basically in Ancient Greece is was seen as strange to walk in public with a women but a young male was a status symbol, whist may believe the relationship was homosexual in truth it was more a business arrangement with the young male mingling with the upper classes and the older male being seen as strong and rich

I think Waterloo is the most important battle of the Napoleonic wars, France lost and he was sent to St. Helena to rot and Europe was at peace for the first time for hundreds of years.
>>
>>1338856


Not that big of a deal. Napoleonic France was nowhere near as strong as it used to be. If he had somehow won, another coalition would have formed, more troops would have been mobilized, and he'd have been stomped.

Let's start a post-structuralism thread.

Positives, limitations, what is trying to accomplish and can it lead us to asking better questions?

Is their criticism of Freud fair, seeing that a lot of continental philosophy still acknowledges Freudian frameworks?

The problem with post-structuralists is the synchronic approach (looking at 'snapshots in time') rather than taking a more historical view.

>The problem with post-structuralists is the synchronic approach (looking at 'snapshots in time') rather than taking a more historical view.

I mean that is a major problem that they discuss in this book. But they want to draw a line between phenomenalism (sort of what you just discussed) and structuralism. Instead of fitting everything into structures or looking at everything as a snapshot they look at events as machines, and flows and junctures. Everything being connected but not fitting under one clear structure that can be universalized or used to make a general claim.
>>
>>1338879
Then the structuralist position would seem to parallel Nietzsche's idea of radical perspectivism - the world being 'in flux', and the structure of it being somehow imposed by the mind.

Quick quest, has the connotations of various facial expressions remained mostly the same for around the last 500 years or so?

If we were to analyse this picture using our interpretation, we would see a Voltaire, smug and sarcastic about the claims of the holiness, Roman-ness and imperial-ness of a certain political entity in Central Europe.

What would've contemporaries like Frederick the Great and Catherine the Great seen in this facial expression, however?

He has always been seen as smug and sarcastic, so we may reasonably suppose that his expression in this painting was meant to convey the same impression.

Quran (4:34) - "Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great."
This is so vague, does it mean you can just slap them, or does it mean you can bruise them up a bit, or what? Are there any hadiths that clarify this?

So, I was wondering. What kind of history does Jamaica have? I don't really know much about the country other than that it's where reggae and Rastafari come from. Are there any good articles/books/videos on Jamaica?

Any notable events or interesting periods?

The most effective Greek counter to Roman expansionism came from the literal ass end of the Greek world.

Yes. If you kill your enemy, he becomes a zombie, he'll be immune for any bullets and he'll continue until he eats your brain
>>
In a political situation within a domestic environment then yes. Example being liberals and BLM chimping out against Trump supporters.
I a situation between countries, if you kill your enemies you win, as long as you don't do any genocide.
>>
Circumstantially.
Consider a culture that idolizes martyrs. There are times when you need to actually be careful who you kill. The Romans killed a bunch of Christians and look how that turned out.
For the most part the quote is retarded though.

It's filled with ridiculous revisionism. Just to take one point apart, TGSNT claims, following the likes of guys like Viktor Suvorov, that the attack into the USSR was actually a premptive/preventive attack, spurred on by worries of Soviet expansionism.

It's bullshit. For starters, the Germans well encouraged Soviet "expansionism", as the Molotov-Ribbentorp pact recognized areas outside the USSR as part of their "sphere of influence", including Germany's "ally", Finland.

http://legacy.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1939pact.html

Secondly, the Soviets having a retarded defensive strategy focused on continual counterattack doesn't mean they were actually planning an invasion. Yes, they had a lot of troops on the border, and not much depth. You know where else they had that setup? Around the Manchurian border starting in 1935, a good ten years before they entered the war against Japan at the urging of their allies. And unlike their attacks into Romania, the Baltic states, and Finland, the Soviets didn't have any of their hallmarks of an attack coming when it came to German controlled Poland and Prussia: They hadn't paired their artillery with its organic transport, they hadn't massed reserves near railheads for rapid movement of foot troops with the infrastructure available, their planes weren't kept fueled and ready.

Plus, of course, it insists on a vastly different standard of proof when regarding Hitler's actions as opposed to the actions of his enemies.

>No order given for extermination of Jews!
>Therefore the Holocaust didn't happen!

But with the Soviets:

>They had their army right on the border,
>OF COURSE THEY WERE GOING TO ATTACK?
>Well of course there wasn't an order by Stalin, who would write something like that? How can you be so gullible?

It's trash.
