Being a not-/his/ guy, I'd like to discover some of the jobs related to that.
Tell me people, what is your job?
Do you like it?
Would you change it for another one?
What would you change in it?
For students, what do you wish to do later?

Brutus did nothing wrong.
If Brutus did nothing wrong why did Dante Alighieri place him in the lowest sphere of Hell among with Judas and Lucifer in the Divine Comedy?

Date was a fag who didn't understand republican values.
No Stormfag here, but think for a moment, If Germany had continued as the Weimar Republic with no real military strength and a weak economy, what would have happened once Stalin had fully industrialized his country? Once the Soviet war machine got going with no German army to inflict such huge losses upon it what would Europe do with the rise of the USSR? We already know the USSR was expansionist as fuck, they would surely conquer Eastern Europe while in the meantime Japan continued to dominate Asia. With no WW2 in motion, would the West be the first to develop the nuke or would...

History doesn't deal in value judgements, it deals in the past as it was.
>>62798
There are entire books debating the historical 'what ifs', for example, if Hitler hadn't made poor military decisions such as attacking the USSR, and how the outcomes may have been different. My questions are a lot more far fetched but I don't see an issue with discussing them.
>>62657
A history without Hitler is a history were Germany doesn't need to have burned all their bridges with Britain, France, and America.

Probably 9/11. 3000 people died and then half the planet got dragged into 2 completely pointless wars that fucked up most of the middle east as a direct and indirect consequence.

Typical Nazi cowardice.

None of those people have ever documented anything other than Jewish casualties in WW2. People dying during a war, that's surely water-tight proof of genocide.
I'm surprised I haven't seen a thread on this yet.
Who was the most influential person in all of history? Michael Hart thought it was Muhammad and I suspect he was right, but I'm open to other arguments.
>>62352
How does one quantify influence?
Serious question.

It depends on how you define influential.
Socrates shaped Christian though, which shaped Islamic thought, which shaped Christian though and created the renaissance
Jesus can trace the vast majority of religious beliefs in the world directly to his preachings.
The first caveman to invent fire is indirectly responsible for all of human history.
So I ask you this OP:
Do we attribute later things that happened as a result of ideas created by one man, to that man?
And how far do we take that idea?

Let's get some fun, interesting or otherwise notable stories from the past in here.
In 1953 on the 8th of July, two police officers on routine patrol saw a pickup in the middle of the road. Stopping the car, they pulled up to see what was up. The scene was nothing like they'd ever seen before. Three young men, Ed Watters (a barber, reportedly 28, although he looks younger in the photos), Tom Wilson (a fellow barber, 20), and Arnold 'Buddy' Payne (a butcher, 19) were standing at the side of the road looking confused and nervous. Laying in front of the car, was a small creature, about two foot in size. It looked like a space alien.
Mind you, this was 1953, about two years from the start of the space race. But sci-fi and space was already popular by this point, and aliens was an exciting prospect. Movies like The Flying Saucer by Howard Irving Young is what would today be viewed as a parody or at least a nostalgic throwback, but that was a current movie at the time and reflected mostly people's view of what they thought an alien would look like.
Aliens had been in the central focus of news at the time this happened, Just the night before there had been multiple reports of a large, multicolored, cone-shaped object flying overhead near Marietta, Georgia. But no one had ever seen a flesh-and-blood alien before.
The three men told the police an odd story, about how they were joking around in the truck, before coming over a hill and to their surprise see a flying saucer coming right at them, "glowing red all over".
Three small aliens were outside the craft and on the road, the driver slammed on the breaks but couldn't avoid hitting one of the aliens.
The other two aliens made it into their ship and flew off, and the three men were left dumbfounded with extraterrestial life on their bumper.
Ed Watters later told the press, "They all jumped for it. Two of them made it. I hit the other one. The red object turned blue and sailed away at a very fast speed."

The officers were reasonably skeptic at first, but the evidence all added up, the long skid marks on the highway, the alien body itself lying dead in the road, a hairless, two-foot tall humanoid creature with eerie, round, dark eyes.
The officers reported it to their chief, who was just as skeptical to the tale as you would believe. He let the three men go home with the alien.
The media went ham on the story, they put the alien in the refrigerator and called it ”The atlanta constitution”.

In the early fifth century, rampaging Goths swept through Italy. Inviolate for 1,100 years, Rome was sacked by the hordes in 410 AD. St Augustine's apologia, the City of God, set the tone for Christians for the next 16 centuries.
But the Rome of that era came close to suffering a far worse calamity. A small metallic asteroid descended from the sky, making a hypervelocity impact in an Apennine valley just 60 miles east of the city. This bus-sized lump of cosmic detritus vaporised as it hit the ground. In doing...

Jabal Tariq (the source of the name Gibraltar) had 400,000 books in his library in mediaeval Spain (al Andalus)when the great monasteries of Europe could only account for scant dozens.
if Luther didn't want to build a new religion why didn't he just joined orthodox?

How do Christians rationalize denouncing a culture of victimhood whilst simultaneously venerating a man who spent his entire life expounding upon the virtues of it?
>>61920
Christ did not teach about "the virtues of victim hood", rather when he turned the other check, he was showing the futility of engaging in conflict at all and that violence begets violence.
he was teaching people to have patience and understanding for one another, not to be victims.
he also promises to go full ape shit on satan and the corrupt nations of the world when the apocalypse comes

So who here has an interest in antiques? I thought that perhaps we could start a thread surrounding interesting items we have lying around.
