>>1234081
No, I'm sorry, the correct response was "Alexander THE Great". So close. Well, that will do it for today's show. Tune in tomorrow to see another neckbeard make a fool out of himself.
>>1234081
Alexander was only "great" because other famous members of the patriarchy believed he was. Real great women of the ancient era like Cleopatra don't get enough recognition.

quite Great

White Slavery
I would like to talk about white slavery and find out what is just a /pol/ meme, what is reality.
With white slavery I mean:
"White slavery, white slave trade, white Slave Traffic and white slave historically refer to the enslavement of Europeans by non-Europeans, as part of the Arab, Barbary and Ottoman slave trade."
Does anyone know good sources about it that shed some light on it? If you google, you find a lot of dubious stuff and even things that seem to be influenced by (sexual/fetishistical) orientalism.
There was no "white slave trade"
There was an "infidel slave trade"
White people happened to be infidels
So were subsaharan Africans, southeast Asians

Are there any groups of people or nations /his/ wishes would've survived?
Personally, I think it'd be hella neat if the Goths had managed to exist as an entity in the western Balkans or something. that'd be pretty neat for sure.
C'mon OP why would you want some Germanics from the Baltic to have survived when their material culture isn't even remarkable.
The obvious answer....
God damnit Varus where are my legions?! Had Teutoburg Forest not happened and the Germania canpaigns been successful Rome would have had an Elbe-Danube Border Frontier.
Much more easily defendable and supply lines would've been river-bound rather than cut off by the Alps...
Not even a Romaboo, I just wish the Empire didn't get royally fucked over in its infancy. Germanicus and Varrus living would've...

>infancy
por que amigo?
>>1235689
Infancy referring to the Roman Empire not the Roman empire. Big E meaning the principate. The centralized govt without the prospect of Charismatic warlords potentially destroying it all the times definitely meant it was a new state.
Key words: all the time.
Figures like Septimius Severus would be capable of seizing power the way they did because of the immediate treachery that allowed the succession of Tiberius
Misotheists, how are you going to defeat God? He's practically invincible.
Are you implying that an omnipotent being can have a weakness?

Look at how sad the middle one looks
Also there was a thread on /r/atheism that was pretty cringey where people talked about how they'd kill God if Christianity turned out to be true
>>1231636
>killing god
As an atheist, even I know that's retarded.
>>1231646
Assuming that the Abrahamic God does exist, would it be better to submit to him? He is after all, objectively right.
Found these while cleaning the attic of my childhood home.
Can anyone identify them? i.e. are they real and if so what do they stand for? What do they say?

So, tell me. Was he french or german. Was he right or wrong. Was he the true emperor of the western empire or a fake > > >
>>1242633
Neither, he was nordid
>>1242633
He was frankish. Back then french or german identities were meaningless. His legacy, however, is more french than german ; Germans were mostly saxons and the new crowned "Holy" "Roman" "Empire" claimed to come from Widukind, whereas the french Kings always claimed to be tied to Charlemagne (For exemple, they carry his sword, Joyeuse).
Charlemagne was a violent religious zealot, who campaigned countlessly and killed his nephews, so he was a monster. But still. He brought back a lot...

Why are some children cruel to animals?
Because kids are dumb as fuck
Because children are assholes in general.

Can we get rid of religious shitposting? Is there any way to reduce the amount of "DAE le Christianity?" shit being posted constantly? I know it's abolished because they're unflappable and respond to serious questions with "no because Christ is Lord" and make their own threads about religion but never respond when people don't take the bait.
It's ruining this board and it makes it all the more obvious this board is where /pol/ comes to troll. Pic related its my utter disgust at you fucking plebs shilling your prophets constantly...

They have a goal other than to record history, therefore completely unreliable. Useful for seeing what Christians believed/how they changed Judaism to appeal to Greeks more.

>They have a goal other than to record history, therefore completely unreliable.
That's not how it works.
>Are our opponents going to reply that the Roman Empire could not have been increased so far and wide, and Roman glory could not have spread, except by continual wars, following one upon another? What a satisfying explanation! Why must an empire be deprived of peace, in order that it may be great? In regard to men’s bodies it is surely better to be of moderate size, and to be healthy, than to reach the immense stature of a giant at the cost of unending disorders - not to rest when that stature is reached, but to be troubled with greater disorders with...

Also, I know what these terms mean today, but what are their origins?

>For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools.

why didn't the soviet union retake constantinople
>>1241837
I better question would be - why would they?
For what purpose? Communists aren't a religious bunch and they aren't interested in preserving Roman legacy.
Why didn't Greece retake Constantinople?

How would Operation Barbarossa have turned out if Heinz Guderian had been given full operational command over the eastern front and been allowed control over all maneouvers in the Battle of Prokhorovka?
Hitler interference is the new stab in the back myth
No.
One general cannot change the outcome of the war that was doomed to fail because of Germany's abysmal geopolitical situation
Heinz was damned good tho, the german army should have followed his tank warfare philosophy

Every "great" leader in history earns their reputation through 90% luck and 10% through their own ability, Frederick was no different. Caesar could've been completely destroyed on more than one occasion if things had just gone even slightly different.
