By looking up the tax registries? In fact such government registries are all that matter, since you can even start the world biggest religion and people will still doubt your existence.

What are some of /his/ general book recommendations that a lover of history would undoubtedly enjoy?

So the other day I decided to pick up Thus Spoke Zarathustra, not sure who the translation is done by but fucking hell.
This entire book reads as smoothly as a river of bricks, getting through even a single sentence is clunky and a struggle for me.
Is this something commonly complained about, or did the translator just fuck up horribly?

Obviously. Empathy is an evolved trait, and the source of all morality. The fact that it's even a question whether religious barbarism is the source of human decency illustrates the profound stupidity of the religious mind.

Because he was personally responsible for a number of foreign policy mishaps like the Kruger Telegram and the Daily Mail interview that revealed the emperor's intellectual extravagance, his incoherent regard for facts, and a complete lack of political moderation and balance combined with an excessive urge towards display.

No. Lincoln was a tyrant. States should be allowed to secede. Also, anyone who says "lol the CSA would be a third world shithole today" are off base and ignorant. Theres no way to tell what it would be like today. It could very well have been just as good if not better than the USA by today.

You don't really get to use quotes as an attempt to deride something when that something ground the entire continent to a halt twice, Anon. Even if they lost.
That said, the british were pretty based. But "civilizing the world"? Nah, not even close.

>have a system of law that allows independent corporations to exist and be safe from arbitrary taxation and government interference

Of course, the whole corporation thing actually helped the British empire hugely even before the advent of the Industrial Era.

I hear Pope Benedict XVI was an amazing theologian, and talents were overshadowed by his lack of charisma.

What theological contributions has Benedict XVI made? Has he written anything that a lay person can understand?

I don't know about his theology. I do know he did far more to investigate and stop the sex abuse things going on the Church (long before he was Pope and continuing to after he become Pope) than anyone else, yet the media made it seem like he was turning a blind eye.

You heard wrong.
He wrote a book about Jesus that was full of errors when compared to the Bible.
