Mostly yes. There are some exceptions, like Saladin who was praised highly by Richard the Lionheart and subsequent people.

Very ironic that back then europeans consider saracens to be effeminate and sneaky minded while arabs considered them to be alpha male idiotic brutes. Now its the opposite

Yes, and some are good, others are misguided douchebags.

They were pretty morally ambiguous

Some people actually believed that they were better than monks because they actually went out and defended the Holy Land.

He was right. Absolute spirit is ai. See Nick land for more.

Red-pill on Hegel. Is he good from a right-wing perspective? I've heard everything from he was a liberal atheist to he was an ultra-conservative christian monarchist to his philosophy made no sense so anyone can interpret it as he likes.

>>1124949
>he was a liberal atheist to he was an ultra-conservative christian monarchist

He was both, but probably more of the latter.

He said Christianity was the best religion because it had the best combination of Finite and Infinite, where other religions have too much of either.

But then he said Christianity would be supplanted by "Philosophy" and he specifically means his own philosophy.

> Is he good from a right-wing perspective?

Probably not. If you can separate him from Marx then maybe. He did think 19th century Prussia was the ideal combo of personal and public, so maybe you could use him if you're into monarchism.

What tactics? Cadorna had only one idea in his mind: frontal charge regardless of conditions. And if it fails, it must mean the soldiers were cowardly commies.

And Italian soldiers kept on charging and charging and then they get the reputation of cowards.
Funny how the world works.

Meanwhile British soldiers who run away from danger are incredibly brave.

Truly, the Perfidy of the Anglo knows no bounds.

What a brilliant quote.

"History is written by the victors."

This is why you read in the books that democracy is best political system, if Hitler would won WW2 you would read that facism is the best political system.

>>1124526
>in the books
Which books? Because I'm fairly certain even a layman could tell you the pitfalls of democracy

The nice thing about deonthology is that you have to be consequent, so if you're being utilitarian you're not a deontologist by definition.

>>1124820
So you'd just call me a utilitarian with some uncompromisable principles or something?

The same reason he chose a tribe of nomadic semitic raiders with a penchant for genocide.

This is taken to mean not swearing with the name of the Lord, but using the name of the Lord where it is not to be used, i.e. outside the temple.

>>1124939
And here I think it is meant the sacred name and not just some attribute like 'Lord'

Tfw I never knew this.

Tfw during my fanatic Christian phase, I took the Lord's name in vain all the time.

Tfw now I know why I feel like shit inside when I do it, even in casual conversation today, like when a friend tells me about good news out of a bad situation and I say "Praise God" or "Praise the Lord."

Tfw I am inadvertently doing it right now.

Tfw can't stop.

CAN'T STOP.

I remember reading about a Persian vassal of Tabaristan that was zoroastrian, he nearly conquered enough land to try and convert Persia to Zoroastrianism but died

The Tahirid dynasty was still part of the Caliphate, but they were autonomous. It was beneficial to them to convert.

Also, Zoroastrianism is simply a shit religion when compared to Christianity or Islam, there's not incentive to convert back, and there are many not to convert (i.e. your taxes become higher).

Christianity on the other hand is at least morally equal (actually superior) to Islam so converting is not crazy. Also, Iberia was a frontier of the Caliphate and Islamic expansion at large, Persia is in the middle of the Islamic world.

>>1124368
Because iran became a massive muslim majority by the time it broke out of the caliphate,you have to be retarded to think that it's a realstic option to attempt to convert that percentage to an old dead religion,or christianity like this larper here
>>1124384

Also mudejars didn't ''return'' to christianity they usually forced to convert or leave after islam was banned by Portugal by 1497,the Crown of Castile by 1502,and the Crown of Aragon by 1526.

>>1124359
that's augustus

The young men who often visited Caesar in private would say,

"I saw, I conquered, I came."

Euphemism for smoothing over a premature ejaculation.

Why bother when they get slaves to do all their work
Say what you want about how great the roman empire was, but at least the greeks gave a shit about science

>>1124241
This is a pretty good point, a few things I need clarification on though: the European imperial powers all had huge amounts of surplus labour, and yet scientists still innovated. What incentivised them? Also, could the same problem be said about China

Modern science really wasn't a thing until the 17th century, OP.
