>it's treason, then
If God and Satan were real, with whom you would sympathies lie?
>>480819
If God and Satan were real, than the book of Job rather firmly declares that Satan works for God, and there is no treason.
>>480917
Doesn't declare that anywhere, m80
>>480922
You haven't actually read Job, have you? Or did you somehow miss the parts where Satan walks up and down the earth, investigating things and then reporting them to God? Or how he has to ask God for permission before he starts smiting people?
Best secret polices of history?
keep it a /his/ quality discussion not a pol tier retarded shitfest
The Stasi, no contest. Did its job exceedingly well and cleanly, most people were barely aware it of its operations.
>starts thread with an edgy unrelated image just because he is paranoid the polfags will spam Gestapo with no end
Stassi > Mossad > CIA > Gestapo > DINA
do Oprichniki count?
>Be George Washington
>be general in 15 battles
>lost 10
>presented as best general of 18 century

Is Assassin's Creed the worst thing to happen to the popular conception of history in the last 50 years?
Say what you want about commies but comissars had awesome hats I couldn't follow a hatless man I mean what are you shitting me you look like a fucking pleb it's pretty much a fact that hats equal authority. Historical hats thread.
>>480669
Get out peasant
As I get older the more fucked up the whole commissar thing was. These were a bunch of 23-26 year olds radicalized by communist and executing their fellowman. Idk the older I get the more fucked up war seems. It blow mys mind when I hear about how young guys had a bunch of men under their command. Major Winters was only like 26 years old by the time of Bastonge.
>>482344
Who else was supposed to lead a command during war? All the ones who saw combat and were old were also dead.
Is it true that Portuguese or should I say "Moortuguese" people share 90% of their DNA with North Africans and are secretly Muslims?
Si
you should go back to /int/
>>480567
I'm Portuguese and I don't consider myself white because my dad definitely looks like a fucking Moor
Absolutely nothing about the culture that is Muslim in the slightest though
So, how does /his/ divide the timeline of european history?
>~500 BCE +- 200 Starting age
>0 +-200 Golden age
>900 CE +-500 Warring Tribes
>1700 CE +- 200 Pre-Modern Colonialism
>1950 CE +-30 World Wars

What are good books for a comprehensive introduction to the history of art? Particularly looking for something that stresses how the evolution of art fits into the larger philosophical development of European culture.

Gardener's Art through the Ages: A Global History

Bit offtopic, but I find Waterhouse to be one of the greats, and I feel like he never gets the attention he deserves, or maybe I just prefer his style of paintings over that of Picasso or Dali.
Do you know any historical moments where the bad guy won? Most of the times dictators etc. seem to be killed off eventually. Only ones I remember dying from old age while still being in power is Franco and Stalin.
Pretty much always
define good and bad
A lot of times there just wasn't really a good guy. Like WW1, the Russian Revolution, pretty much every Chinese civil war, the recent and current conflicts on the Middle East.
Was the height of a man as glorified in older times, no matter what century, as it is nowadays? Did people offer you certain jobs, special military units or anything else? Did shorter people have it worse in any way, or was it completely irrelevant? If so, when did height become such an important thing in most societies nowadays?
>>479966
Is this a subtle manlet bashing thread?
>>480000
No I'm serious.
Nice quads tho
>>479966
>special military units
The First King of Prussia was obsessed with tall guardsmen. There was a height requirement to be a Prussian Guard to the King.
Also Grenadiers were big men since the belief being large cunts can throw grenades further. Eventually Grenade throwing was phased out and Grenadiers were just selected for their physical strength as they were shock troops and expected to ace in hand2hand combat.
Dump, Discuss, etc
I'll be posting some, feel free to contribute.
Is intellectual discourse really just shitposting using fancy words?
No, you're thinking of academia qua profession.
>>479866
no it is fancyposting about useless shit
>>479866
Clearly. See Diogenes
It's not a story Plato would tell you. It's a Cynic legend.
>>479791
Diogenes was a philosopher of the Cynic so power and wise that he could influence Alexander the Great to give him light
FUCKING NORMIES
Don't let this thread die you fucks, we need to great more daring syntheses.
I love polish history. I've recently begun to write a fictional story based on early 13th century poland. Despite most modern poles being highly autistic, I think polish history is one of the greatest stories ever. How about some interesting historical facts about poland? I'd personally like some interesting info on 13th century polish principalities but anything goes really. I love it all.
>Polish nobility believed they were descended from migrating Iranians and convinced the Lithuanians that they were too.
>Poland's...

Living in Chicago, which has a higher polish population than poland, I can tell most poles apart from humans by the shape of their head. All poles I've met have had potato shaped heads.

be still my aching dick.
Tell me, without using memes, why this isn't the greatest philosopher since the classical times.
Nobody can because they haven't read him
Because Wittgenstein
It's obviously Descartes. Founder of modern philosophy, and creator of modern rationalism, the philosophical basis for the scientific method, which is the one objectively positive achievement of philosophy.

>>479325
Inaccurate and shit for history learning.

Not really, but I have yelled at people and they have yelled back over this show.
