Although Napoleon was not particularly short, why was he given nicknames by his soldiers referring to him as if he were, such as "Le Petit Caporal" and "Le Petit Tondu"?

>>723381
Because he had a tiny penis
>>
>>723381
Le Petit Caporal is because he rose from low ranks I think
Kinda a mark of respect to remind of all he achieved, and in the spirit of the revolution (merit as opposed to birth right)

Le Tondu was not preceded by "petit", you made this one up

With a show like Vikings about something like vikings you have to fill in the blanks with some shit. Like nobody knows EXACTLY how the vikings breached the walls of Paris, I mean it probably wasn't the viking leader faked being a Christian, then faked his death to get a Christian burial inside Paris, then kidnapped the princess but they need a reason and at least that one is entertaining

I promised I'd do it and now I am, okay?

Today is the start of the 4chan 2016 Winter Cup, and as such today I'm reposting polls from a while ago to determine who (and how many) will be taken off the team and replaced with other players to be determined by another poll coming up.

http://strawpoll.me/6683853
http://strawpoll.me/6686282

(If a majority of people want more than 5 players gone, let me know)
These will stay open until the start of the Cup day on Sunday, and at that point I'll take the results from these polls and use them to change the roster.

Also, general /his/ 4cc discussion.

How come the Middle East lacked continuously existing nations compared to Europe? At some point there was a France, an England, a Spain and Italy and so on, but whenever you look at maps and timelines of the Middle East it's mostly dynasties, with maybe an Egypt or a Persia that was more like another dynasty whose borders happened to coincide with modern Egypt/Iran? Even when dealing with barbarian or tribal states it's usually an ethnonym for European kingdoms like Visigoths or Lombards or Saxons while the same kind of thing in the Middle East tends to get named for a founder of a dynasty like Sassanids, Arsacids, Abbasids, Seljuks, etc. Even India and China are kind of like this.

How come there wasn't a King of Syria like there was a King of France?

Nationalism is a relatively new idea that originated in Europe. Before Napoleon there really wasn't a France or an Italy like we refer to it today.

However, because of nationalist revisions of history we tend to look at Europe through a lense of the currently defined nation-state borders.
>>
>>718696
It doesn't really have so much to do with the difference between the concepts of nations as it does the difference between the concept of titles. In Europe, the title of a count, duke, king, baron, or whatever would be pretty clearly defined by what they ruled over. In the Islamic world it didn't really work that way. Titles were less definite, but were still things that could continue through different people, just based on influence, and not clearly what they rule. In the same way a Saxon and later a Norman could both be "King of England", an Abbasid and way later a Fatimid could both be the "Caliph".

Practical necessity. Also, God doesn't usually reach down and stop someone from dying.

The most important Pope died crucified upside down. Most of our saints of the early era died horribly. The apostles all carried swords, why not take practical steps to not die?

Was the Turks conquering Constantinople as bad as people on 4chan make it out to be?

By the time it had fallen, the Byzantine Empire was a pretty shit place to live, most of it's land had been taken by the Turks and Arabs, and it was poor. The Ottoman Empire made the city a financial powerhouse once more. Also, /pol/ will have you believe that le Mudslimes killed every Orthodox Christian in sight, rather than allow freedom of religion. Mehmed II certainly treated them better than the Catholic crusaders ever did.

And no, my name isn't Ercan or Sezer. I'm just countering /pol/ propaganda that Constantinople was New York tier before the Turks arrived, rather than the impoverished, dwindling shithole that it became.

It's a symbolic butthurt for a lot of people, not a practical one.

Why are there so many Catholics in Africa when they could easily just follow Ethiopian orthodox instead of being under the fist of Rome.

>Is vigilantism ever justified, morally or otherwise?

>If yes, when and where is the line drawn?

>Is vigilante violence justified to bring criminals to justice when the police/state is failing to do so such as in Mexico and various places in the Middle East?

>Is it ever justified in the sense of citizens resorting to intimidation and violence against authorities that are abusing their power?

>Is vigilante justice that results in murder (instead of assault or intimidation meant to bring a criminal to justice) the line in the sand?

>If not, is vigilantism in the form of murder where the authorities fail ever justified?

>Do you believe it should be ever be legal to patrol as a civilian vigilante to apprehend criminals until the police arrive and/or to keep an eye on police misconduct?

>Do you believe, in cases where violence or death are the result (intended or otherwise), that there is any real difference between vigilantism and terrorism?

>any real difference between vigilantism and terrorism?

Not in terms of actions, but in motivations. Since motivations can never really be known, anyone's free to spin the narrative to actions as truth. That being said, Vigilantism isn't at odds with crime, but at odds with law and order.

It is correlated to future events of inevitable second coming of Christ and also to past events where emperor Nero is the Antichrist and prophet The beast from the earth has also been interpreted as the Islamic prophet Muhammed is beast.

Does anyone else find themselves switching between non-beleif and Christianity every few months?

I keep going between deism and Catholicism every 3 months it seems. What should I do?

Christpost on /his/. Whatever you believe at a given time, argue vigorously for the exact opposite. It will help you determine what you actually believe and what you know to say because it's been drilled into you. For example, I realized that I am not actually Orthodox and Catholicism really does make more sense to me, despite my upbringing.

No. Because no true Christian goes to non beleif
