Bump for truth

Because even sperm know capitalism fucking sucks and don't want to be born anymore.

In many cases, every Emperor had an interest in depicting his immediate predecessor in a bad light.

Caligula was no doubt bad, but not as bad as history makes him out to be. If I recall correctly, he was accused of draining the treasury - yet when Claudius took over he somehow had funds for many great building projects... So we know that's not entirely accurate.

Agreed anon. I think s fair amount of our history of Rome is tinted by people writing slam pieces or propaganda.
Nero wasn't as bad as people think, but he was still bad. Caligula is probably still among the worst, but probably not as insane as people think

If you look at Caligula in the context of Roman political culture (the element that people ignore or are completely ignorant of), then alot of his acts can be seen as the best possible move he could have made at the time. If you want to armchair general him with the privilege of 2000 years of hindsight and impose a 21 century morality on hum then yes, he comes off as insane

Obviously the Vietnam war was a fucking mistake, but this is directly comparable to the Iraq War, except only around 4K-5K of american soldiers have died due to the war but nearly one million Iraqi men and women civilians have been slaughtered due to an illegal war for an oil company.
Other than that, LBJ served his people and passed the "Great Society" bill, started the War on Poverty, the Head Start program
His achievements that are good massively outweigh his bad, although Vietnam was one of the biggest fuck ups ever.

his domestic policies were a+++, his foreign policies on the other hand...

very hard to come across a president who is great on both. The only ones that comes to mind are FDR, Clinton, and Obama. Although, they each have their flaws, domestically and foreignly.(?)

>>1267597

Obama's foreign policies are pretty shitty unless you're a US citizen. He's not a compassionate president.

If Japan maybe. Not for the rest of the world though

It was cool so yeah

His death kept Nippon from going Commie so yeah it was pretty significant.

That's it, I prefer trench warfare.

The most brutal would be ancient or medieval I think. Mostly because medieval would be fairly even until one sides shield wall broke, and then it would become an actual slaughter as one side just butchered the retreating forces.
Medieval would be brutal too.
At least with guns (especially before rifling) you had no way of knowing who you had actually killed

I read the Kebta Nagast

A nice mixture of history and legend

This is a bit old, but if you're interested in Aksum; http://www.dskmariam.org/artsandlitreature/litreature/pdf/aksum.pdf

This is more concerned with modern history, though it also goes over ancient and medieval times: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.374.313&rep=rep1&type=pdf

>Why do we still have people who think the latter is any good?
Because it was rule by ministers,that usually thought on a mid to long term basis. Democracies just think in the short term,leading to major fuck ups, just to win elections.

Democracy is a myth

>>1269359
Because the former makes the party more important than the leader. People are not loyal to the state, only to their chosen ideology.

Anglo Saxons hail from modern day northwestern Germany and southwestern Denmark. They probably both originated in Denmark because the Franks set up shop in what is now the Netherlands after having been pressed out of northern Germany by the Saxons.

They were Germanic.

>Did they have connections to ancient Romans/Greeks?
If they did, only through trade. The territory of Angles, Saxons and Jutes did not border the Roman empire directly, only some foederati.

By listening to the Word of God and not the antichrist in Rome?

I remember a thread where someone explained that despite being common in medieval art, falchions are very uncommon archeological finds, and so were probably not used much.

What makes you think medieval people were immune to memes?

Falchion was faster and more wieldy and probably did fine against gambeson, not all soldiers would be wearing chainmail or platemail, or not all over their body.

Yes. You should read his work, but get ready for a butt fucking in trying to understand what he's saying.

Yes, and a very good one.

He's like Marx. He's good at pointing out and predicting what is wrong especially with neoliberal capitalism, but his solution is "ehh"
