>Agrippina murdered her political rivals: Domitia Lepida, the aunt that Nero had lived with during Agrippina's exile; M. Iunius Silanus, a great grandson of Augustus; and Narcissus.
Man, Nero's mom was a fucking bitch.
Why does Nero get the rep he has? From what I see most of his acts were gross exaggerations.
Why do Christians view him as the antichrist? It is obvious he was not fond of them, but I don't see the reasoning for the focus on him specifically in later biblical work and philosophy.
>>3167255
Nero is to Christians what Trump is to SJWs.
>muh oppression!!!11!1
>>3167255
because he blamed the Christians for the fire
But as far as I can tell, there's no proof that they didn't start the fire. The claim might be true to some extent desu
Nero used a massive amount of state resources on building a palace that enclosed like half the core of the city of Rome and then diddled around showing no leadership during the fire
>literally create an ethnic group as a permanent underclass
>provide little-to-no resources for them after they are free
>discourage them from assimilating into the mainstream for generations
What did America mean by this?
>>3167174
>be black
>be butthurt about your whole history being BTFO by europeans and arabs
>try to sooth the pain by making shitty bait threads
>>3167220
Which part of that is inaccurate?
>>3167174
>Be Chinese
>Get forced into America as slave labor to build railroads and shit
>Get turned into an underclass afterwards
>Overtake the native ethnic population in wealth and income within a generation
What the fuck is wrong with black people
Why do high school history teachers and normies talk about M.A.D and Massive Retaliation doctrine like it was this well thought out deterrent to all out Nuclear Warfare?
The amount of times the world nearly ended because of some idiot officer or a faulty 50-cent computer chip is too many to count on one hand
>>3167144
Didn't it only happen once?
But it never did end. So it worked.
Doesn't seem that shitty to me.
>>3167156
Yes and no. Fiercely opposed peoples hiding behind opposing political fronts, projecting their own fears onto their opponents actions, while committing most of this actions themselves caused a number of flare ups.
Most of the main incidents never resulted in anything more than heightened alert levels, but the threat was still there.
You are talking about the b59 arkhipov incident. That may be the closest we ever got, but remember that tensions were so high because of the Cuban missile crisis.
Britain and France?
France and Germany?
Germany and Britain?
From World Wars to World Cups, of these three great nations which two have been the greatest foes and subsequently the duet of the greatest rivalry in history out ranking Rome vs Carthage, USA vs USSR, and good vs evil?
Which two have been the greatest nemeses of History?
>>3166321
Britain vs France
France vs Britain I guess
They've been waring since 1066
France vs Germany is more recent and Britain vs Germany even moreso

Sure they committed some war crimes but who didn't in ww2, they were hardly worse then the other parties in the war.
Unit 731 was horrible but the numbers aren't really that high.
People make it sound like it was million of chinese that died but it was just a few thousands.
The most brutal of crimes according to most would be the nanking massacre, the Most credible sourches place the number of deaths betwen 100 000-200 000, not amazingly high compared to war crimes committed by allies or other axis powers.
Other accusations are "Muh comfort girls", various mass killings and their treatment of POWs,
Prostitution catering to ocupational forces is nothing new or unique to japan.
It just feel like korea needs something to bitch about.
Most mass killings just seems like a convenient way to pinn natural casualities of the war.
The Chinese probably killed more chinese civilians then Japan did.
POWs where treated badly but Japan was stretched and it could barely provide for its own people, offcourse they couldn't be excpected to treat enemy troops well.

Why is it so easy for humans to commit sin? Why are people usually more inclined to do bad than to do good? Even if people rationally know something is wrong and is harmful to themselves and others, they still do it for the temporary pleasure it brings, like an addiction. Why?
>>3166275
Because modern man doesn't believe in sin, except for white/man/rich-guilt.
>>3166275
Because people hate themselves. They feel they deserve punishment and guilt. So if they don't believe in god, they have to punish themselves.
>>3166295
wtf I hate atheism now
You're sort of onto something but it has nothing to do with god.
People punish themselves for their short term pleasures because they know it's not what's best in the long run, but have trouble stopping.
I was watching Master and Commander and I noticed something that interested me. Stephen goes on his anarchistic rant and complains about authority. During this he says that Napoleon is a tyrant. This view of Napoleon may be due to British propaganda at the time, however I'm not sure.
Would you agree with this, if so please tell me why.
I'd like to add that I'm not leaning towards the British propaganda angle, it's just something I suggested that I think may have contributed to how Napoleon was thought of.
Napoleon was generally well liked by your common French man, his public image was amazingly well kept. He was able to be the main figure of authority in France just like the monarchists before him while popular image was of a liberator.
This was helped by his support for independence movements in places like Poland and Ireland were again, his popular opinion was well kept.
>>3166083
Stephen doesnt seem like the sort of man to fall for propaganda dude.
What are some /his/ approved podcasts? Something that teaches history but doesn't twist facts to make it SJW friendly and is well done.

Seems to me he couldve had his men build up supply lines to fish the Tiber for trout? Could they sustain the seige with a steady supply of Tiber trout? Did Tiber trout contain mercury?
>>3165937
Tiber trout is famous for its low mercury content. It would keep him and his warriors strong. Not only that, if he decided for intensive trout fishing in upstream Tiber, he could've had caused severe deficiency in essential amino-acids of Roman population.
>>3165937
He feared the roman warrior.
Yeah just feed 50,000 men on trout what could possibly go wrong
What makes a human, human?
What can I read on this topic?
Long, flat nails
>>3165758
Animals are simply engaged in the process of sense gratification and the four bodily processes of eating, sleeping, sex, and defense. Humans similarly engage in these processes but humans alone possess enough intelligence to understand what is the purpose of life. Human life is meant becoming inquisitive and for realizing that I am not this body, I am the spiritual soul that inhabits it. Realizing such and taking shelter under God, he escapes the cycle of birth and death and attains the kingdom of God. If he does not become inquisitive and he does not control the mind, he's not even a human being but among ranks of the cats and dogs.

Anyway, based Cardinal Sarah would make a good pope. It would be fun to see an African pope btfo shitty left-wing values.
How would you prevent PLC collapsing?
>>3165531
By preventing Russia from existing
I'd started by killing all the szlachta.
>>3165549
>It's Russian fault PLC was an imploding failed state.
Russia, Prussia, and Austria just put it out of misery.
>Liberum Veto

>there's absolutely no sign of central authority as a result
What the fuck were they thinking?
And are they inevitable in democracies?
I've often heard Washington didn't want political parties in the US when he left office, warning his successors of the risks it'd bring but how would the US look like without political parties?
>>3165469
Political parties are organizations of people who seek to pool their resources to win political victory, and yes, they are inevitable in democracies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_oligarchy
>>3165469
They are groups who usually share similar ideas and group up to being change to a nation, and then they linger around making false promises and suck up tax payers money.
>English longbow men were out of ammo
>English were still outnumbered
Why did they run? Did the Anglos executing civilized Frenchmen really scare them that much?
The two main reasons France lost were 1) terrain that favored the English and 2) nobility/knights who didn't obey their commander and charged in to win personal glory, resulting in the terrible massacre that cost the French the greatest part of their strength
it's truly incredible how retarded a bunch of nobles can be when you give them an inkling of independence
Is there anything you can do with a history degree (other than teaching) WITHOUT going to law school or grad school?
>>3165093
Depends on where you live. In Britain you can apply for most grad schemes even at the big 4 accounting firms, I imagine its similar in other parts of Europe. Unsure about America.
