Memes aside, what were the best swords?
Pic unrelated.
It's really hard to say. Swords were a reflection of defences at the time. There is no one universal "best sword." They were best in situations. Piercing swords for armored foes, fast ones for duels. It was cleave or stab, heavy or light. Each one suited its own purpose.
inb4 Nippon steel, folded over 1000 times.

which sword would be the best in 1v1 scenario
>>1206717
Depends on what sword the other guy is using

meme yourself to death
I will shoot any motherfucker that will use quatation mark or memearrow.
I'm sure people will disagree, but that's kinda what the thread is for.
Make alterations, add channels, make a list of /his/ preferred historia channels, based on accuracy, information and interestingness.
>>1214603
What are the top ones called?
>>1214612
in order.
Historia Civilis, Lindy Beige.
Where is HH? I know it's a bit of a meme podcast but it's very well researched and a great introduction to the topics he discusses
Also, just wondering why you put The Great War at good tier. Is it because they don't go into much depth? I personally love their Out of the Trenches and Where Were They episodes.
What human invention has caused the most net harm to humanity as a whole?
To clarify, by net harm i mean the negative consequences that outweigh the positive consequences.
Civilization
Religion.
Agriculture.It allows for wealth and thus the accumulation of weath. Before humans more or less had no choice but to be egalitarian.
Why did he invade Poland? It was unnecessary.
GROßDEUTSCHE LÖSUNG!!!
Unnecessary for what?
It was pretty damn necessary for Lebensraum.
>>1212736
itself a pretty destructive idea in practice
it's almost like hitler was more focused on power than the well being of his fellow man...
The fall of the Ottoman Empire was a mistake
>>1209333
They should have kept their 1914 borders desu. They were keeping the region under control before the Brits decided to fuck everything up.
>>1209333
The Schism of 1054 was the biggest mistake.
>yfw the Slavs fucked up the Ottomans just like they fuck up everything else they touch
>563 years since the conquest of Istanbul
Happy anniversary, you guys!

ITT: Historical figures who seem like they were good people.
How many of these can you name?
>>1195249
Cato, Pompey, Sulla, Cicero, JC, Buddha idk, literally Sulla again, Augustus, Crassus
>>1195249
All of them. The bust of Caligula is pretty shitty tho. Dunno of anyone else who fucked his sisters and wore women's clothing.
What was Orwells goal with 1984? Was it really a warning or satire?
He was just writing about what the world was turning into. Furthermore, he was also entirely right. Newspeak is a thing, soldiers on overseas occupation missions are called "peace troops" etc.
Considering that he figured our future could best be described as a boot pressing down on a human face forever, I'd say it was a warning brought about of his thorough pessimism resulting from how the spanish revolution went down for him.
>>1187653
He wasn't right, in no way are we near the levels of 1984.
I'm on an Orwell binge right now and its interesting to note his optimistic leftist views slowly transition into bitter cynicism of any government.
People you wish you could go back in time and annihilate

He didn't exist so it doesn't count
>anything outside of the Hellenic or Latin classical period Europe was stone age apes
>2cool4school pseudo-linguists saying things like Proto Indo-European not existing, or English not being a Germanic language
>people taking cultural terms like Celtic/Germanic/Slavic/Latin to be genetic rather than ethno-linguistic
What grinds your gears, /his/?
>1050 Europe was as culturally diverse as 2016 America
>Napoleon and Hitler were manlets
>All Germanics are blonde
>All mediterraneans are dark haired shitskins

>most people on this board actually believe they evolved from rocks
>Christians will defend this
Also: I just love how you supposed to "love your enemies", but you're always offensive, shitposting and telling others how they'll go to Hell.
Are you like pic related?
Are you a "good person"?
>>1208240
Very few Christians will defend this actually.
Being repulsed by sinners is nothing wrong with it, same as there is nothing wrong with being concerned for the eternal souls of sinners.
>>1208252
You don't sound like a good person to me.
Do your love your enemies?
Also: I didn't say I'm not a Christian, by the way.
Why do you think I wrote "Christians" and not "Christcucks" in OP, hm?
What I'm trying to say is, Christians on 4chan are very agressive.
God is love.
Many of you / us sound hypocrite.
Maybe many of these so-called Christians are just "memeing"...
True believers would never act like this (or like in OP's...

You're an idiot if you made this
Former Christian here. I can't really go with this faith anymore. I've narrowed down my option to two choices: Judaism or Islam. Which one should I go with?
Which one is better at backing up it's theological claims?
What are the pros and cons of each?
>>1207747
Atheism.
>>1207747
Islam is the best faith but religion really isn't subjective. It's far better than Judaism though.
>>1207747
>Be Muslim
>Get put on a CIA watchlist
>Be Jewish
>Get mad professional connections
The choice is obvious.
Why were the Ancient Greeks so based? Everything about them is awesome. They're like the most wonderfully autistic people of all time. I mean, Socrates pretty much invented shitposting.
>>1207717
Imagine the different city states like the different people in a cliche highschool romcom drama.
I find it an affront of the highest degree to people who have studied Greek to reduce them to such a level, but it's the only way to explain them to someone who has never studied them.
>>1207729
Spartans are definitely Chads.
Athenians would be the Nerds/Dorks.
What to make of the Thebans?
>>1207765
Normies.
How does it make you feel that future generations from now will view media such as pic related as being accurate portrayals of history, or, at least, how people in our time viewed the past?
>>1205002
People are stupid as fuck now, what makes you think it'll get any better?
Was a great flick by the way.
>>1205009
A lot of people on this board are progressives and think modern times are the most enlightened and peaceful age in all of history and life will only get better in future.
