Why do the likes of the Mongols, Huns and Vikings get glorified when all they did was murder, rape and destroy civilisation just for the hell of it?
They were hundreds of times worse than modern terrorists. At least modern terrorists are fighting for some kind of cause, or at least they believe they do. These people were just brutal savages.

No
muh historical bushfire
Why, when better treatment of workers has shown to improve productivity, do factory bosses treat laborers like shit? Not only today, but throughout history - I don't see how raping employees in 19th-century England or working natives to death in Mexican colonies could be at all profitable.
Which is why competition improves labor conditions.
>>845935
I don't really get what you're saying m8, we've had free trade with Mexico for a decade and it's not like their factories are shining examples of workers rights.
>>845894
You must understand, these working conditions, by standerds of the country beforehand (19th century england, modern east asia, mexico ect) are coming off working conditions already at a sub-human level. The working conditions of the workers in sweatshops, are equally bad, or arguably better to the slaving farm labor they would do other.
Who are closest descendants of Alexander the Great and his soldiers?
>>845625
nobody because he was a fucking faggot that liked dicks and semen in his mouth.
>>845633
Alexander was bisexual.

I bet you wouldn't say that to his face.

>When the Trojans opened their doors, they found a giant wooden horse. "Wow, neat!" they said, "Let's take it inside and go to sleep without investigating it."
>"You idiots!" said Laocoön, "Are you completely dense? How much more obvious can a trap possibly be for you to still fall for it?"

Why do people condemn the 4th crusade all the time, but no one mentions the massacre of the latins?
Not saying the 4th crusade was a good thing, but it seems like they provoked some kind of retaliation
People do like the Roman empire, it's much funnier to adore an enlightened empire that fell victim to the barbary and bad manners of it's neighbor instead of just one powerful player among many others that could be just as brutal as it's enemies.
>>844953
Well people like to romanticize the Byzantine Empire
>>844953
Probably because the ruin of a city like Constantinople is seen as a bigger crime than killing a bunch of merchants.
Why Ivan the Terrible is still remembered as a sort of Empire builder? He left Muscowy/Russia utterly ruined, defeated in war and ripe for a dynastic crisis.
H-he did great in the first half, until he got a bad flue that made him go insane...
That's what wikipedia and RT thought me.
Stalinist history rewriting is reason here basically.

>He left Muscowy/Russia utterly ruined, defeated in war and ripe for a dynastic crisis.
Suffering strenghtens the soul and he made Russian souls of his time very strong indeed.

What did he mean by this?

>What did he mean by this?
He meant This agglomeration which was called and which still calls itself the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.
He meant I'm a French and I need to shovel everyone into the dirt because even thinking about the unholy state I was born into is too painful

Soviet army fucked up some weapon experiments
Dumb fucks woke up startled in the middle of the night, panicking and hysteric because they were dumb fucks. Then the elements took care of them.
I dunno if this is a retarded thing to do, but I found my philosophy notes and am thinking about dumping them here to hear critique of the notes and to see if I've been bamboozled by the system or if it's legit. What do you think?

Philosophy
Distinguish between principle-based ethics and consequentialist ethics
There are many ways to gain wisdom
There are many kinds of philosophy
In Asian philosophies, they do not distinguish between mysticism and rationalism, to the point that religion and philosophy is intertwined
Western philosophy is different in this way. And it's what we'll be focusing on in this brief course
1) It's reasonable/rational
2) It's critically-minded
These two things mean that it demands...

Where did Reagan democrats come from?
>>843273
He was a fucking horrible president that baby boomers worship. The first thing my mom told me 2 Sundays ago when I got home from work was that Nancy Reagan died and I could see that she was actually crying over someone that she never knew or did something of good virtue.
>>843356
It's not as bad as the fact that she probably cried when Princess Diana died.
>>843384
Nah, it was much worse when she cried over John Lenon.

Why does /his/ shit on the African American belief that they have a tie to Egypt when they don't make fun of any other orgin story?
England has nothing to do with Troy, Jews have nothing to do genetically with Judea, Americans literally have nothing to do with Rome, so why does his get butthurt everytime a member of an down held group makes up its own mythology?
Isn't that history?
>>842892
what's this about england having links to troy? I know literally nothing about it
>>842892
Stop baiting with this shit, we've had enough.

It's /pol/tards exaggerating the presence and overstating the relevance of a phenomena in order to point and laugh at niggers.
