Suetonius, The Lives of the Twelve Caesars

Which was worse /his/, hiring analists on the Imperial payroll, or

the Praetorian guard?

Why is studying history from a Marxist perspective so widespread?

99% of the world doesn't give a shit what Marxists think about economics or human rights, so why should we care how they think historical study should be approached?

That's frankly untrue, and this is coming from someone who is very right wing. Regardless of your political affiliation one should always study those who hold different convictions, especially if it goes against you. You can't safeguard yourself against Marxism if you don't understand it. Also there's nothing wrong with looking at History from different perspectives, same with literature/music/film/etc. It fosters a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Studying something from a Marxist perspective doesn't mean that you have to be a Marxist.

>Why is studying history from a Marxist perspective so widespread?

It isn't. Doing history using Marxist historiography is widespread. Probably because the Annales and CPGB Historians Group demonstrated that it produces superior social history.

>99% of the world
doesn't give a shit about the discipline of history. Argument from the people is a shitty fallacy mate.

>what Marxists think about economics or human rights
What connection does this have to quality of historiography?

>so why should we care how they think historical study should be approached?
Because it is a field dominant methodology which has wide spread acceptance amongst conservative historians of politics and war, and liberal historians of mentality and event and culture?

Could anyone direct me to some good articles or snippets from books detailing the origins of the Wahabi and Salafi movements and American relations with Saudi Arabia before the 70s?

Also, because I'm an idiot, I wouldn't mind a greentext version too.

The funny thing is, Napoleon sorta won in the end anyway. A significant quantity of monarchies met their ends to movements prompted somewhat by the influences of Napoleon's invasions on their cultures.

Discuss everyday transcendence of slave morality.

I used to masturbate as little as possible because I thought it was a bad habit, immoral even. Now I do it about a dozen times a day.

I used to fritter away my money on alcohol and resent my boss for the power I felt he had over me at a financial level. I then stopped drinking and started saving money so I'd never find myself at a point where I never actually am required to work for the man, and found my resentment towards him and my job basically vanished overnight.

Would that count?
>>
>>1197458
Saving money seems less aesthetic and life affirming, seems life denying, but Nietzsche said alcohol is bad, so that might count

>>1197458

No, because you are still cucked by your boss.

True ubermenschen are NEETs.
