Was Pompey the best of the first triumvirate? I'd say so. If you disagree why?
He styled his hair after Alexander the Great. He took the title Magnus before he had even won a battle.
Highly insecure
>>329765
I eventually got what he thought was Alexander's cloak too. But yeah insecurity was probably his biggest flaw. But that drove him to do quite a few feats.
Pompey seems alot like McClellan, a good administrator and logistician, but crap in the cut and thrust of battle.
>That she did what she wished, and that Stirner let her do what she wished-that of course may have let her appear in the eyes of the marriage-slaves as detestable as it later did to her, but it can only make the two of them more likable to us. Every act of making up the mind for the other, for that matter, would not have fit at all into the nature of those involved, for whom "marriage" meant only a loose band that was thrown around them purely externally. And not on the "unfaithfulness" of the wife-how ridiculous!-did "this marriage perish," but simply and only under the pressure of the circumstances in which he and she unfortunately all too soon found themselves.
From "Max Stirner - His Life and His Works" By Mackay
Are there any other philosophers that were acquiescent keks?
>>329700
Marriage, and therefore kekoldry, are spooks you need to get rid of, my property.
>>329703
Well I'd say it's a spook, but I don't think physically having your property physically and sexually fuck other property is a spook, technically speaking. the minding that goes with it, is, but the fact isn't
the paper in where you're married isn't a spook either.
>>329705
Said facts and papers are only relevant from a spooked point of view though.
Hero or villain?

hero to others

Has there ever been a bigger crybaby in history than this faggot?
You laugh, but it's thanks to the reform that Christianity isn't like Islam anymore

Well, there's you.

Is it true native Americans thought the white man coming to their land was fulfilment of their religious prophecy?
>native Americans
Which ones? Two continents and thousands of ethnic groups.
>>329354
I think aztecs predicted Gods were pale men and when they met the Spaniards they assumed they were God and let them into their fortified caste/base/whatever
once inside the Spanish went killed them all to spread the religion of "peace" Christianity.

It was actually to pillage their valuables. Atheists always want the fedora meme to stop, but just reinforce it by letting their fedorable religion hate boner type their words for them.
Rhodesian History
I am somewhat fascinated by the history and politic of Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe.
I hear they had some interesting military practices as far as their scouting regiments and such, but of course a troubled racial history.
What does /his/ think of Rhodesia?
Does /his/ know of any good material on Rhodesia and its history?
Pic related is a Rhodesian Ridgeback, a species of dog said to be fiercely courageous and capable of fending off lions.
Rhodesia is /pol/s husbando.
Check out Requiem for Rhodesia
>>329340
Are there no non-racist accounts of Rhodesia that don't characterize it as racist?
>>329356
No because it was in fact racist, same with SA and Namibia for its entire colonial history
there's something i don't understand about this. was there something that was purely potential before god came to actualize it?
No, there was nothing except God.
>implying actually and potentiality are anything more than human tools for explanation
>purely actual
>that shitty argument against infinity
>ignoring the problem of induction
No because there is no 'potential' or 'actual'
>If workers struggle for higher wages, this is hailed as “social gains”, if businessmen struggle for higher profits, this is damned as “selfish greed”.
Are you inclined to agree or disagree with this statement, and why? This is obviously Ayn Rand's quote, but her philosophy aside (inb4 she doesn't have a philosophy), what do you make of her perception of class struggles?
Greed implies that your material wealth is allready enough to enjoy a good life.
And most businessmen have enough disposable income not to need any more to live a healthy, satisfied life.
>>329135
But what is "good enough"? Who decides at what point a certain individual becomes wealthy enough? When that person has a BMW? 2 of them? A house?
If a point isn't set in stone, then isn't that up to personal, and thus variable, interpretation?
>>329147
It's not set in stone, no, and it's up to each person to define a limit.
That doesn't invalidate that some people might be seen as greedy by most other people.
Can I get an honest answer with no "14/88 woooo muh unkkkle adolf" shit?
Question: In the grand scheme of things, how significant has the contribution to science/inmovation/technology/philosophy been from Europe? Especially in comparison to China

>Question: In the grand scheme of things, how significant has the contribution to science/inmovation/technology/philosophy been from Europe? Especially in comparison to China
Europe was behind China's contribution until XIX, after the industrial revolution Europe got the advantage

Of course there will always be people fantasying about oriental people.
I'm half-oriental before the inevitable >white statement.
The question is far too broad to get coherent answers. Some people will consider some specific thing very important and neglect many others. Some will show bad faith and insist that some piece of Siamese woodcraft surpass anything done in 12th century France or 14th Mexico.
Of course there are the full retards like >>329707 and worse. Jared Diamond considered some irrelevant tribe a superior lifeforms because of their hunting techniques.
>people still think the Soviets had an efficient military force

Take 30 million men, give them some vint, and send them out to pillage.
Sounds effective to me.
>>329095
That's not how war works
>the universe must have a cause
>the unmoved mover does not
In order to be a mover one inherently moves.
dude, bro, that's why it's called the unmoved mover and not the moved mover, my man
>>328963
The unmoved mover is self-caused.
was he a fascist?
He was a victim of a faulty fuzzy theoretical and ideological framework which among other things did not account for political circumstances and realities, consolidated too much power and equipped its followers with unwarranted faith and zeal.
What? No.
Why would you even need to ask that?
>>328767
Yes. George III was also a fascist. And Mao Zedong. And Ho Chi Minh. And Leopold II. And Richard Nixon. All bad people ever are fascists.
Let's have a historical photographs thread!
Some ideas:
- Your favourite photographs from history
- Photos which say something particular about the period in which they were taken.
- Images which depict the history of your city/town/neighborhood
- Unique and interesting historical photographs others might not have seen before
This photograph was published in Sydney newspapers in 1933, apparently at the behest of the then Commissioner of Police to demonstrate to a sceptical press and public that police could in fact operate undercover.

Demonstration of the techniques of pickpockets. Details unknown, but clearly a staged photograph, presumably made for police educational purposes.
Eugenia Falleni, alias Harry Crawford, 1920
When ‘Harry Leon Crawford’, hotel cleaner of Stanmore was arrested and charged with wife murder he was revealed to be in fact Eugeni Falleni, a woman and mother, who had been passing as a man since 1899.
In 1914, as ‘Harry Crawford’, Falleni had married the widow Annie Birkett.
Three years later, shortly after she announced to a relative that she had found out ‘something amazing about Harry’, Birkett disappeared.
Here is Falleni in her natural female form.
