Must the weak become strong? Whenever the weak becomes strong a new society often emerges. You can't allow that, because it creates problem.
Weak should hear the strong.

yeah but the new society ends up being stronger

Lucifer is a just a moniker for Satan. There are multiple principals/beings named Lucifer.

How does this make you feel?
>>3030401
Its wrong though. The classical music we still listen to was upper crust music. Folk music which also still survives was different from it.
>>3030401
1)this joke was already made in Star Trek and it was much funnier
2)with the passing of time the availability of music will lessen due to what is reprinted and saved, what is deemed worth saving, etc. "But anon with computers we can save any music, there are recordings thousands of years old, etc." doesn't mean we will listen to all this music.
>>3030416
theres a difference between folk music and clasical music.
A song may be popular in one village in rural England that nobody else has heard. The music composed by famous people and performed at various music halls throughout the entire country, however, would be known by many in a myriad of different cities.
>Atta Allah: devine gift, the Lybian/Arabic name of the dromedary camel. Camels were introduced to the middle east and african region 2000
Atilla reigned from year 434 to 453 and had territories in the mediterranian, bringing asian goods and animals, including bactrian camels.
The camel revolutionised the way of life of the people of the Sahara, who for 4000 years had been living subsistance lifestyle with no way to travel long distances, or transport goods in major quantities across the desert oceans.
The camel was seen as a gift from Atilla.
300 years later the name At-allah became known as Allah, and Islam is born.
tl;dr muslims worship Attila the Hun.
>>3030385
>muslims worship a Turk
Nothing new there.
Dromedaries are native to Arabia friend. I'd also imagine that Bactrian camels made their way west long before Atilla.
>>3030426
there is no such thing as a camel that is native to arabia.
the dromedary evolved from imported bactirians.
Is it possible for Operation Barbarossa to succeed?
>>3030262
It would require a political collapse of the soviet union, a pure military affair would always spread germany out to thin. Also, unless oppwration barberossa was a quick success germany would always lose because of American intervention in the west.
No. Supply problems plagued them as soon as they crossed the border.
It was still their best course of action.
>>3030262
Yes, obviously all Hitler had to do was not start a fight with Britain first. Britain has won every single war it has ever been a part of and would have taken on Soviet Russia easily if Germany hadn't invaded Poland.

I've personally been looking for a book on the governmental structure of the German Empire, anyone have any suggestions?

I'm interested in slavery in SE Asia, especially towards the start of the colonial period and how some Western powers sought to end it
>>3030036
>I've personally been looking for a book on the governmental structure of the German Empire
'The handbook of Imperial Germany' and 'Imperial Germany: Economy, Society, Culture and Politics' both have sections on governmental structure.

Does anyone know of a good book on the Chinese Civil War with Mao and Chiang Kai-shek and whatnot?
I'm wondering if there even is one or if the Chinese are still super anal about not letting anyone at the documents and throwing a fit if anyone portrays Chinese history in a way that differs too much from Dynasty Warriors

What did Tolkien mean by this?

He was a brainlet
>have elaborate autistic fantasies about a bunch of elves and midgets eating breakfast and saving the world
>be celebrated as a genius for decades after your death
What did society mean by this?
Pretty obvious isn't it? Tolkien was an anti-democrat. He just couldn't come out and say it so blatantly. Anyone who observes people and studies history as extensively as Tolkien will inevitably come to this conclusion. (If you want to learn more: read Junger)

I guess this counts.Upon William Jennings Bryan resignation as Secretary of State under Woodrow Wilson.He met Wilson to discuss the current path the U.S. was taking with WW1 and at the end of the conversation told Wilson to go to hell.
It says here that the White man is responsible for all the evil we see today.
why hasn't there been a digital painting that can be considered on par with any of the great works of traditional art?
>>3029876
Because it thrives in an environment in which exclusivity is non-existent
>>3029876
Because digital art is easy. The computer does it for you.
>>3029876
Digital art is not respected, has little cultural heritage in a status sense and it is widely available watering down the value even further. There's stuff on deviantart and cgsociety that will blow your mind but it remains largely irrelevant other than from the perspective of the artist and the size of his portfolio.
Hey /his/, what were napoleonic battles like? I read a lot about how large they were, see maps with dozens of battalions all placed in formations, batteries and all the cav where they should be. I have seen a lot of paintings but these make it hard to see the full picture and often only focus on a single part of battle. Are there any texts or images that describe how battle went accurately and in detail?
This might be what you're looking for.

Battles were and still are long. It doesn't happen in 15 minutes screen time, it takes hours sometimes days even months. In the early 19th century battles would be fought with line tactics aka disciplined meat grinder, if a flank is about to fall a messenger would run up to the commander to let him know, so he can act accordingly.
>>3029868
thx
>>3029870
i know the battles were long but i find it hard to imagine the battles with all the companies marching in columns/lines and reforming according to what was needed with thousands of cavalrymen and the skirmishing infantry also seems weird to imagine because i'm bad with distances and idk how it would look if chains of skirmishers fired at eachother hundreds of meters in front of the main line while the formations took place
You probably lived your entire life in some small segment of France or Germany. The only Saracens you ever encountered was in stories like the songs or Roland. You have no idea what they actually look like and you probably assume they look just like you.
You don't know what a desert is, or what Egypt in the Bible looked like. You probably think the whole world looks like your little part of France. You have no idea about what the Byzantine emperor looks like. Just seeing Italy would blow your mind. You don't know what Jerusalem or Rome or Constantinople looks like. Remember that one scene in kingdom of heaven where the main character sees a crab for the first time and he has that 'wow, that's weird' look on his face?

Yeah, if you are into losing while taking an arrow up your sweaty plate ass from the heat.
I'd prefer going on an adventure liberating my ancestors city from christcucks and have a harem of their women as my slaves, to pound their asses the same way I pounded their husbands and fathers.

Crusaders were just shit people, no better than ISIS or other radical violent Muslims. They are not representative of what actual Christianity means.
