>"In his advice to the Persians, Cyrus the Great claims, “soft lands tend to breed soft men" -
What did he mean by this?
My friend :
Machiavelli, "Discorsi sopra la prima deca di Tito Livio"
First Book
First Chapter

>soft lands tend to breed soft men
Comfortable living environments make dudes fags. People in the city are statistically weaker then people who live in rural areas. Less injuries, less physical activity, less thought put into surviving. Even my lil female cousins in the mountains are tough as fuck, climbing trees and hiking all the time, splitting their heads open way more often.

And people say Medieval artists took liberties.

Non-existence is far better than existence, is there any sane man who could disagree?
>>1052320
existence is a spook

I haven't killed myself yet, so there must be something to this whole existence thing that doesn't suck shit.

where does the "best thing for a man would be to not have existed at all, and the second best thing is to kill himself right now" come from? and i dont mean the greek tales. i mean what's the logic behind that? life is suffering, so in order to avoid suffering it's better to not exist at all?
bitch, i would rather live a hundred years in judas' place at the 9h or so circle of hell getting my ass flayed off by the devil than not have existed at all. atleast while i suffered, i could think about all those pleasurable things in the world that didn't...

>original hebrew

wut, it's written in greek. and when was it ever adapted by pagans? all of it's themes are based in christianity and it is heavily influenced by the book of Daniel
>>1052296
it was translated into greek from the old testament, wasn't it?
And i guess im thinking of the christians that fled to ireland during migration period, and later converted germanic pagans

>The crusaders were really just illiterate barbarians

>i mean just look at the peoples crusade
wat do /his/
>>1052185
That would imply the crusaders built all those churches, castles and cathedrals without using mathematics or science.
>>1052277
Obviously stolen from the locals
Muh renaissance

What kind of hollow statement is "The arabs had maths and science"?
What does this mean? That every Arab had some maths and science he carried around with him? That Europe didn't know how to count and everyone lived in a hole?
What a shit thread OP.
Which one of these two really fought the Japanese?
Neither. Americans did.
>>1052065
Not even during the 4 years that China was fighting Japan prior to America entering the war?
>>1052060
Both of them primarily viewed the other as their real enemy, and the Japanese as an unfortunate distraction from their attempts to exterminate each other.
However, the Chi-Coms realized that one of the best ways to win the support of the Chinese people was to act in a way to protect them from the Japanese threat; they were much more aggressive in taking the fight to the Japanese than the KMT was.
Of course, the KMT had about 5 times as many troops, and a lot of the Japanese deployment was arrayed...

How well would Hitler have been able to do if he had not signed the Molotov Ribbentrop pact?
>>1051963
What always confused me about the Pact is the Soviet Union's invasion of eastern Poland. Why did the Allies not declare war on the Soviets after they did that? Wasn't Poland the reason they declared war on Germany?
I still think the raping would have went done before it was all over with ol' Adolph putting a bullet through his cowardly brain pan.

The Holy Roman Empire was more Roman than the Byzantine Empire was.

Why do autists care so much about the successor to the Roman Empire
Other than the pope recognizing it there was literally nothing Roman about HRE.
