Serbia did literally nothing wrong

He had potential to do so much more, it's almost a tragedy. Dying so young at 32 when the world is practically at your feet.

I think it would have been best if he had finished arabia and anatolia, then went on to conquer the balkans and the pannonian plain and stopped there.
Rome and Carthage are better left alone.

Probably not "yet another" conqueror but in the same mould as Stalin - a monster very often, but with a lot of room for "maneuver" in his portrayal and description.

Even without the holocaust the Nazis were still a scourge. They brought war to Europe, unlike Stalin. They killed people based on race (yes, not just the Jews), unlike Stalin (admittably, the the mass deportations had ethnic motivations and some say Stalin killed based on class, which is quite horrible as well).

So in short, the Nazi Emprie would be remembered like the Chinese remember Japan. Not just another conqueror.

yes, Germany was fucked until hitler showed up, if he had done nothing but take revenge on the countries who wronged Germany, he would have been remembered like a good guy

Did anyone read and enjoy Tess of the D'Urbervilles? The fact that I enjoyed it was quite out of left field for me.

Would the world would be better today if France had a large, competent colonial empire like the Brits?

French here : it's okay if you idealize us, forget our actual mediocrity, and then try to emulate that ideal.
Liking france and french culture as a whole and as it is is a proof of bad taste, though.

If they had been run by an actual neutral party in a fair and equitable manner Churchill, Truman, (FDR if he had lived), and a large number of Allied generals would have swung from a gibbet.

Everyone was super happy and enlightened and tolerant all the time.

>>353791
It was ok. It wasn't a theocratic hellhole like /pol/ thinks it is nor was it a utopia like idealists and Muslim nationalists like to think.

Basically you'd be ruled by decent-ish Muslims and live as a sort-of second class citizen if you were a Christian/Jew, but you'd have a pretty decent and stable life compared to most religious minorities in medieval europe.

What can they do other than jail me?

No Viet.Cong ever called me a nigger

Yes, because if I philosophically believed in the war I would have enlisted.

I have a better chance of obtaining weed and alcohol in a combat zone than in jail

Someone has been real asshurt about Stirner lately.

*not a synthesis

Nobody gives a shit about the area and mountains are famous for preserving archaic forms of language

There used to be a lot more pre-indo-european languages in Europe but over time they got wiped out, Basque survived, probably due to location. If not for the revival of the language though it would die out soon too.

And it probably will one day, so it's good that we have it all documented.

they are ancient aliens

but more seriously I guess large parts of france and spain spoke languages related to basque before the celtic culture came (and then the roman/latin one)

sure if you like being a slave

that's a little difficult to answer.

i think the regions it conquered were certainly better off under its rulership.

the benefits would have been security of a large military.
infrastructure projects like roads and canals.
greater impetus for disparate parts of the empire to adopt standardized weights, measures, currency and language (written and spoken).
postal system.
cosmopolitanism that lead to more rapid spread of ideas.
insurance against famine because food could be more quickly sourced from other parts of the empire.
a centralized government to organize resources to the provinces they were needed most.

the downsides would have been the same for many empires.
subject peoples loose a share of their sovereign rights.
the facilitated mixing of many peoples would have meant some cultures were gradually extinguished and supplanted with more dominant ones.

there were some unique benefits to Persian rule as well. Partly the reason folks didn't mind living in their empire over anyone else's was because that had some decent ideas to share, like requiring that wages for public works project be paid according to one's contributions, maternity leave, reducing slave ownership (although chattel slavery was mostly not practiced in the ancient world as is, at least not officially).
Certain tribes of Persians were able to assimilate lots of folks initially because they came up with some decent ideas on constructing quanats (means to transport water underground so it wouldn't dry in an arid climate, essentially a small underground aqueduct).

>>353346
Obviously. It's model of tolerance and respect of other cultures made it stand out compared to other civilizations before and after.

Be honest OP, how high are you right now?

>>353342
>entity
Yeah, there's your metaphysical problem. Sounds like you've imported enlightenment bourgeois ideology as your ontology.

they're not the same entity unless they have a shared common part directly linking both

what you are talking about is not a part. They are connected by an indirect common part instead

however as your condition is hypothetical and thereby potentially erroneous, I'd speculate that if such a condition were so there almost certainly would be a shared connection validating them as an entity
