Why are we pretending that he was a good guy?

>>2127648

Does anyone pretend this? He was a Great Man, but I can't think of a single Great Man who wasn't a cunt in one way or another.

>>2127648
He BTFO the sacred band of fags so he's good in my book

He made some great songs, shame he died so young. Anyone been to his grave in Paris?

t. Spartiate

Also, good job on the Kings Peace

>>2127648
Why are Mongolians allowed to idolize Genghis Khan but Europeans not allowed to idolize Alexander?

>>2127648
He was a great conquerer, not a great person.

>>2127648
t. Persian Satrap

>>2127928
bye rddit

>>2127648
He burned Persepolis, one of the most beautiful cities in the world at that time, to the ground. That makes him a barbarian.

>>2127648
He died a hero instead of living long enough to become a villain.

Because we have better people to venerate. Alexander was an extraordinary general, but he overshadows other Ancient Greeks. Plus I'd prefer the Western world celebrate generals who weren't warmongers.

>>2128348
he was secular

He was a great man by the standard of his time.

Had Hitler lived in antiquity, he'd also be a hero

>>2128425

It was a different era, you pussy.

>>2127648
I would if killed that condescending homeless neet Diogenes

>>2128425
This is the mindset that is killing the western world.
Sandly not uncommon, time to learn Chinese and whatever those sand people speak i guess.

>>2128433
not for systematically murdering millions of civilians
he would be more like attila or something

>>2127648
He would be considered a War Criminal if he lived in modern times.

Good things about Alexander:
-He forgave his enemies.
-Spread Greek culture.
-Great Warrior.
Bad:
-Killed his friend.
-Had daddy issues.
-Sacked cities and slaughtered civilians.
-Only wanted to conquer lands, didn't care about actually ruling them.

Which friend?

>>2129250
cleitus you dumb fuck

>>2129250
Cleitus the Black.

Alexander killed him in a drunken rage, because Cleitus said Alexander's father was better than him.
