>Pompey's outstanding successes both on and off the battlefield were so impressive that many Romans declared him as being equal to a god, and indeed, there were cults which worshiped him as an actual god. Even Cicero described Pompey as at least partially divine on more than one occasion.

If he was so great, why didn't he win against Caesar?

The United Kingdom. The Sovjet Union. Germany. France. Long ago, the four Nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the German Reich attacked. Only the ANGLO, master of all four Races, could stop them, but when the world needed him the most, he vanished .20 years passed and my brother and I discovered the new ANGLO, a gentleman named Bomber Harris. And although his carpet bombing skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Bomber Harris can save the world."

Okay, so during the 100 years war, King John II of France gets captured in battle, and the English set the ransom at 1 gorillion dollars. John II convinces the English to let him switch places with his son, Louis, so that he can personally raise the required sum for the ransom from his subjects. The English agree and Louis and John II switch places. While raising money, Prince Louis escapes from the English and returns to France

Then, John II, baffling literally everyone, decides to voluntarily surrender himself back into English captivity, where he remains until he dies a few months later.

Because if no one was in the prison cell when the English went to check then they would get caught.

>>3073365
He gave his word in good faith. He took the respectable action to make amends. It's not like he was imprisoned under harsh conditions; he was more of an honored guest that couldn't return home. The fact that he died was an unexpected outcome.

I don't see stupidity in a man probably trying to escape his wife. Pretty sure he must have found some new pussy to slay in England.

Given the sheer weight of Western achievement - and by West I mean European and non-European English-speaking territories - achievements cultural, artistic, scientific, technological and military, can anyone seriously adopt a culturally relativist view and reject the central notion that the West is in fact not the Best?

I do not seek to argue that the West and a loose model of liberal democracy has the answer to everything; only that it is currently the best model, among a group of many competing models, available to us. That is, in terms of liberty, in terms of standard of living, in terms of artistic expression and in terms of scientific development. What can other cultures possibly offer, except curiosities and items of antiquarian interest?

Does anyone have a good or interesting argument to rebut this?

i think it is fair to say that west is best, and has been best since the industrial revolution.
i think we are in a period where the english speaking countries can remain best or asian countries (japan or china likely) will take over
>>
>>3073361
Remember, there was once a time when Muslims ruled half the known world, and a time when Mongols ruled the world.

The west is strongest, as of now. That is all you can say about it.

I'm considering doing a road trip around Germany and Austria at some point, visiting controversial memorials, especially Nazi ones. First off; No, I'm not a Nazi. I've just been interested in how the US is now trying to remove CSA memorials (I was born there and a lot of people are very opposed to it), and think it would be cool to explore the thoughts of people in rural German villages; Were Nazis still technically German soldiers? Shouldn't all soldiers be honored for their sacrifices?

Pseudo-philosophy aside, I've heard that there's some shady internet forums that I still can't find where people post Nazi graves and memorials deep in the woods that escaped de-Nazification. I've only been able to find a small number of them, but never found the forum. I was told this on /pol/ (first place I thought to ask, unfortunately) after saying I saw a blog of a hidden SS grave which still had a wreath with the SS logo on it as of 2007. The thought of deep web history forums made me think of /his/ obviously.

Any ideas or leads?

Any controversial memorials in general? I know Latvian Legion and some similar forces in the Baltics are a bit of a touchy subject.

shitler = biggest nigger and arab lover in history.
you see everyone shitler like all himler , geobles and all the rest of the nazi party and german people loved niggers.
shitler loved niggers and wanted to mix all germans with niggers.
In his book mein kempf, shitler famously wrote and I quote :
"I love africans. They , unlike the jews, are all nordic/germanic. My biggest wish is to mix all germans with africans. And after we win this war and murder all jews in the world , me , himler and geobles are going to personally make sure every single woman in our beloved deutschland is impregnated with semen from africans".

THERE IS NO CHRISTENDOM AT ALL; CATHOLICISM, AND LUTHERANISM, ARE JUDEOCHRISTIAN SECTS; THEY ARE NOT CHRISTIANITY; CHRISTIANITY, AS A SPIRITUAL DOCTRINE WAS DESTROYED IN THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY C E WITH THE ERADICATION OF THE CATHARS, THE LAST ACTUAL CHRISTIANS; CHRISTIANITY NOW ONLY SUBSISTS IN FEW INDIVIDUALS AROUND THE WORLD.

Was he a good guy /his/? Did he accomplish much?

Good guy but didn't accomplish much of anything due to a combination of uncooperative populace (both nobility and peasants) and having kind of a haughty "my way or the highway" approach to pushing things through. It says a lot that the just as liberal Leopold reversed or cancelled a lot of his policies after succeeding him.
>>
>>3073327
What were his policies? I know he tried to push through social reforms but why did so many people oppose them?
>>
>>3073359
He was liberal. Peasants are ultra conservatives. He tried to help peasants with liberal policies and I believe tried to do agricultural reform as well. Peasants freaked out with NOT LIKE BACK IN THE DAY MUH TRADITION. He got incredibly angry and cynical in his reign because every attempt he did to make peoples lives better it was rejected because peasants were dumbfucks.
