These two for me too actually. Napoleon the most I'm reading more about him now, and it's just amazing. Wish I could have met him or been around during his life.

in reality they were basically an organized group of professional killers, but that code of theirs and the way they fought to the end makes them pretty romantic, that and the Ikeda ya affair

he was a tory, Labour was gaining a lot of momentum, Attlee was promising the 'New Jerusalem' which many who suffered from rationing and blitz craved

also many (sadly I have no source on hand) believed at the time that he was an excellent crisis leader but a poor choice to lead Britain post-War

Didn't he sperge out on how Labour was disloyal to the union and almost went full tinfoil-cap about it?

Just a friendly reminder that he signed off most of the British Empire and its huge cache of patents at the time, to the States.

Not saying that this wasn't more or less inevitable at some point, perhaps he even managed to get favourable terms for the UK, but he still did it.

A very depraved, sick genius and made arguments based on a wealth of first-hand sources and showed us a lot of what we take for granted is just Enlightenment memes.

Great insights on biopower.

See Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon and shit.

Picked up a fight with the gay community back then when he hinted that sexuality was a choice.

>he hinted that sexuality was a choice.

I don't think he ever said it was a choice as if you actively choose to be gay, but that it's a fetish that develops due to your surroundings.

The other way round, I'd say. Martial societies naturally prize physical fitness.

The other way, fit people -> fit army

How can militarism come first though if the ideology was grounded in race? Doesn't a racialist ideology first look to the body?

It has to do with the 'stab in the back meme'.

If Ludendorff is seen as running the country than he couldn't be stabbed in the back by the people running the country because he was running the country.

Personally I'd think if Ludendorff said he was stabbed in the back, which he did,he probably felt that way.

It would have been alot easier for him to own the decision for armistace with the established government and media on his side than to decide to surrender than make up a story about being stabbed in the back and shitting all over his own massive decision to armistance.

The bigger picture is though if Ludendorff ran the country than the entire foundation of Nazism is wrong and based on a lie that Hitler and Ludendorff made up to trick people.

Its my opinion that promoting the stab in the back as a 'myth' is more likely to be propaganda from the US used in order to keep germany stable during occupation and to kill political nationalist sentiment there.

"Ludendorff and the general staff essentially ran the entire country during the war" when the exact same can be said about Churchill and his war cabinet in regards to britain during WW2?

Because Churchill was PM, and Ludendorff was not Chancellor/Kaiser. Are you pretending to be thick or what?

>>1317302
>Because Churchill was PM, and Ludendorff was not Chancellor/Kaiser
Monty and Brooke regularly told Churchill what was what and he generally deferred to their judgement.

This makes me kinda sad for the people there and is also nothing you should be happy over even if you oppose them as a whole.

If their population is poor, it is desperate and angry, if it is desperate and angry its more likely to pick up rifles and risk its life against whoever gets pointed at by the kremlin.

So how Russia always been?

>>1315181
Nah, 10 years ago trading relations with europe were better and we liked each other more because we saw each other as being mutually beneficial.
At least I dont know about them having a greater grudge then.
Now the sanctions give them a reason to see us as withholding them income out of spite even though if we didnt do so before and the population gets hyped up for every "righteous" agressions their government carries out.

Hume?

>>1314930
Hume is a bit arid though, lol.

Maybe Jim Holt, on why the world exists? But not really what you're looking for I guess.

It sounds a bit too abstract my man.

Maybe Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception, or a bit of Hegel's P. of the Spirit.

Read David Chalmers.
