Failed general who got lucky

He was qt

Is the meta-narrative just taking the mono-myth and trying to apply to real life? We fictionalize life and turn it into a story about a heroes triumphing over and restoring light to civilization.

Foucault and Derrida are perfectly coherent. If you understand Lyotard you should be able to understand them.

This is post-modernism.

Can you tell who is behind it?

I think war can give a society a much needed boost or burst of vigor.

If ww3 occurs all these pansy men may disappear culturally.

it creates needed economic growth, however too much spending can make a country go under

>>318615
But don't you have to spend the money on developing said military technology? Increasing the consumption is only necessary in crisis times.

I can't tell if they influenced East Europe or if East Europe influenced them, in terms of armour.

The Ottomans adopted a lot when they started becoming an Empire. When they fought with Europe, gunpowder did enter their arsenal.
An effective military society/caste (depends who you talk to) called Janissaries arose during this time. They were men taken as children from Christian families in the Balkans and the Middle East. They were trained to be strong Islamic men, and fought against the various enemies of the Empire.

So to answer this, Eastern Europe was not so much an influence. If you count the Balkans as Eastern Europe, then yes the influence was great. Modern day hatred between the various Balkan groups came from Ottoman cleverness. Remember those Janissaries? Well, the Ottomans would deploy, say, 1000 Serbian Janissaries against Albanian targets.
The locals began to mistrust one another rather than their overlord. A brilliant tactic really.
The Ottomans learned the power of gunpowder from fighting larger European powers over the Balkans and parts of Eastern Europe

>If they could win what would they have to do
hitler pretty much assumed that Churchill preferred him over stalin
>And what would happen if they won
probably alot less globalism, more potent culture in the world and higher standards of living in the top countries
>Would they expand to take over the whole world?
lol

>>318455
>what would they have to do

Not occupy France
Not antagonize the Soviets
Not try to invade Britain
Not try to turn the whole world against potential enemies
Not force the Allies into a position where they had to keep fighting
Not ally Italy

There were a lot of fuck-ups, but I'd say Barbarossa and declaring war on the US were two of the biggest.

oops

>>318466
im pretty sure heraclius eventually kicked there asses at one point.

>>318362
The French Revolutionary Wars come to mind

Also the Teutonic Wars

Hindsight is 20/20.

>>318362
>Was there ever a war where everyone expected one side to win and then they got they lost?

Russo-Japanese War
Soviet-Polish War
Winter War (arguable)
First Chechen War

>How did the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks differ? I've heard that the Mensheviks were more intellectual and anti-authoritarian, and not anti-Semitic like the Bolsheviks were.

>Mensheviks
Socialism is possible by evolving naturally; however first the population has to become prosperous enough

>Bolsheviks
Socialism is only possible via social revolution

>Why did the Whites/Royalists lose so badly even with American military support?
Because

1. There were no "Whites" to speak of, they were notoriously disunited.
2. Royalists were a laughable minority even among Whites. Most were republicans in one way or another.
3. American and Entente's support wasn't much at all, and it probably did more harm than good because Russian population is notoriously xenophobic.

>>318261
>Bolsheviks
>Anti-Semitic

>Red jews are anti semitic

Nigga what, a lot of the leading cadres of the Bolsheviks were jews.

>Why did the Whites/Royalists lose so badly even with American military support? Why was the US so set on preserving the oppressive Tsarist government?

The whites weren't Royalists, the whites were anti-Blosheviks, for a time it even included leftists, it wasn't unified at any time, its an umbrella term used for designating anti-bolshevik militants. Some whites were royalists but not all whites were.

The US didn't help, at all, not militarily at least, the expedition they sent did nothing and the US wasnt set on preserving the Tsarist government because it was a monarchy, thats why the US refused to aid Kolchak

>Opressive Tsarist government

Not nearly as opressive as the "peoples soviet union" the meme has to die

>>318395
>U.S. sent nothing
An un noteworthy force maybe, but it sent a tgousand or so.

>>318222
Mostly, yes. But the natives attacked them because they settled and took over their territory

The Spaniards were better than the English as conquerors.

See how many Latin Americans are descended from Amerindians. Now see how many Anglo Americans are descendants of Amerindians.

>>318788
Uhh wouldn't that make the English better conquerors?

He doesnt understand genetics at all, I would go as far as saying he is purposefully trying to fool people at least in that area

Explain to me how contemporary cult leaders are /his/ related?

>>318142
The non-aggression principle doesn't work because society is built on the threat of violence.

>>318093
WW1, its not even close really

Ww2, if you count. 1939m although by 1945 most of their tech was stolen, they still where far ahead using thr v2, stg44, and jet fighters.

Did the germans make money from killing jews?

How do you live your life? By some rules, no doubt, respecting some ideals.

You're welcome.

>>318033
Lots of people have preconceived ideals. You don't need philosophy for that.

>>318037

Ideals aren't philosophy?

>>317967

For what purpose?

Humanities are full of people from the "I hate math" crowd i.e. they are too dumb for logical and rigorous thinking.

>>317980
This. I've yet to see a single philosopher who's done anything for logic or mathematics.

Go to bed Dan

Time for the daily HH thread, is it? We like him. Listen to the rest of his stuff, especially Blueprint for Armageddon.
