Why do people overemphasize the side of Nietzsche that isn't against master morality?
It seems the first lesson people take is "hur hur being strong is the only good, so i should go lift weights and take fighting classes".
It's just such a disappointment that the most boring parts of Nietzsche are so emphasized.
It's because many view his (and other's) work as simply a self-improvement guide in a 'how to get alpha' style.
It's been appropriated as self help by people who have The Art of Manliness as their homepage.
It's like people who call themselves nihilists because 'hurr durr le universe is really big, lyfe has no meaning' while still caring about wearing nice clothes and getting laid.
>>587136
Except that's not true at all.
At all.
Nietzsche doesn't mind you choosing certain morals, he just wants you to choose them from strength, not from weakness.

You think so? I don't associate with that sort of person so I don't know what they think.
Does anyone want to form a new movement: Anti-anti-anti-religious people? I don't meant anti as an intensifier or a negator. We're not anti-religious. We're anti-the people who are anti-the anti-religious people. I.e. we're anti-the below articles author

Remains of earliest known massacre victims uncovered in Kenya
Scientists say they have uncovered the remains of the earliest known massacre victims, dating from approximately 10,000 years ago.
Archaeologists believe the victims were members of an extended family group of hunter-gatherers who were slaughtered by a rival group.
According to the scientists' report in the journal Nature, parts of 27 skeletons were discovered near Lake Turkana in northern Kenya. Ten of the twelve relatively complete skeletons showed signs of a violent death, including smashed skulls and faces, broken ribs and evidence of arrow wounds.

Partial remains of 15 other skeletons were also found and are believed to belong to victims of the same attack. The group included the skeletons of at least eight women and six children. A fetal skeleton was also found in the abdomen of one of the female skeletons.
"The ... massacre may have resulted from an attempt to seize resources – territory, women, children, food stored in pots – whose value was similar to those of later food-producing agricultural societies, among whom violent attacks on settlements became part of life," said lead study authorDr. Marta Mirazón Lahr of the University of Cambridge.
The find offers compelling evidence in the scientific debate about whether human aggression was passed on to us from our primate ancestors or emerged after the development of agriculture and settled, hierarchical human societies. The earliest known so-called "war grave" before the latest discovery was found in Germany and dated to approximately 5000 B.C.
"I’ve no doubt it is in our biology to be aggressive and lethal, just as it is to be deeply caring and loving,” study author Robert Foley of the University of Cambridge told the Daily Telegraph. "A lot of what we understand about human evolutionary biology suggests these are two sides of the same coin."

Why does everyone talk about this kraut instead of pic related?
>>587076
An interesting theoriest, but I think he's over-applied myself; a lot of the stuff he talks about, like the primary strategic implement being the army itself, and not the population base, held true for pre-industrial warfare but doesn't work so much in a modern total war framework.
>>587610
Because most of his works were about operational level stuff, not strategic level stuff. Most plebs who aren't serious military historians or military personnel find tactics interesting, they find strategy interesting, but the stuff in the middle tends to bore.
Do you know of any ressources that give factual, evidence-based information about the development of the soviet union from its beginnings till the death of Stalin.
I'm particularly interested in its industrial and educational policies.
Original textbooks from that time would be golden!
Looking at wikipedia I can only find the usual "it was all just communist propaganda and lies" and "everything was horrible, nothing worked" litany.
Are there reliable, uncensored translations of Lenin's, Stalin's and other important policy makers' works available on the net?
Yeah well, let's se-

There are lots of stuff by Lenin and Stalin on the web, and you would know that if you bothered to even google it.
As for other stuff, some of it is freely available, others are locked away. I have a friend who occasionally does Archive work at Moscow State University, and peer-reviews historical writings on this exact time-period, so I may ask him for some stuff for you when he gets back.
Why do so many people fall for the north africans were black maymay?
Even goes up to hollywood. Why not instead glorify actual African kingdoms like Mali and Axum. You could even go as far to say Yemen is black considering it has considerable mullato history.
How much do Korean students learn about the ancient Middle East? Probably just cliffnotes because it's not relevant to them.
>>587032
Because Western normies don't actually want to learn about shit like the Epic of Sunjata because few have heard of it, yet alone know what it's about. They barely care about the Ancient Greeks, let don't know anything about Mali or Axum.
It's must easier just to make something that says "Caesar was black" than to actually try to do a foreign culture justice like that, and even if they do manage, the chance that it bombs goes up exponentially simply because of it's limited appeal.

there were negros that far north but not very many, because of modern racial tensions they tend to stretch it for the ratings, their goal isn't pure historical accuracy
I got an idea. I want to collect those snails the next time I'm on holiday and make myself a real tyrian purple T-shirt. Are here any guides how to do it? How many snails would I need to get for one T-shirt?
>>586987
You probably don't have the social standing to pull it off.
>>587005
I already have a viable plan to retake Constantinople and crown myself a Basileos. The purple t-shirt is the last thing I need.
Kind of wasting it if you use it on a t-shirt
use it on a dress shirt or something instead.

What are the effects of Louis XVI's execution on France? Did it result in more bloodshed?
>>586888
Yes because most of the time someone or a group of people tried to use the revolution as a means to further their own ambition. Civilians got killed constantly, justly or not.
>>586910
> Civilians got killed constantly, justly or not.
That's an exaggeration.
Civilians mostly got killed as part of the civil war, in the areas that didn't rebel they were okay.
Louis XVI's execution led to civil war in France, intensified attacks from the rest of Europe, and consequently the Reign of Terror
so yep it the blood rained back down on them

Out of Rivera, Codreanu, Mosley, and Degrelle were any of them credible leaders with decent policies, or were they all just carbon copies or Hitler or Mussolini that wouldn't translate to their own nations.
>>586717
Codranu was based. In terms of style that is, don't really care about politics.
>>586717
Rivera too was very stylish. He should've been an actor. He has the Al Pachino vibe without the weak chin and being a manlet.
