Two things really.
1. Humans are often rash and irresponsible actors, and when someone comes along that isn't like that, history tends to give him justice.
2. History education is extremely important and shouldn't be sidelined for the meme that is "STEM".
everything there is to know
All that matters is how much power you have in your lifetime because no matter how bad you are people will either forget you existed or try and justify your causes.
Common sense is not very common at all.
Those attempts to change things for the better too quickly and too radically often result in the reverse.

You can completely make up a historical narrative just from rumours without having any evidence to back it up as long as you control media and education.

What did Python mean by this?
Nationalism beyond a certain limit is really dump.
Turks Serbs and Russians got more similarities than they want to imagine.
The HRE was both holy, Roman and an empire.
>>1072160
You're absolutely right, in this one particular point of time 70 or so years after they've died they are vilified. Is it possible that 500 years from now the opinion will be the same? How about 1000 years from now? I don't have foresight, but I have seen historians drastically change their opinions on certain historical characters.
Take Nero, Julian the Apostate, Genghis Khan, or Napoleon for example.
The strong do what they will and the weak suffer what they must

"If there is anything we can learn from history, it's that nobody learns from history"
-Academia man
>If you control the present you control the past; if you control the past you control the future. (Paraphrasing Orwell)
What REALLY HAPPENED is not important. The only thing that matters is who gets to define, select and interpret the facts. You see the liberal academic elites vilifying Hitler and with the same breath praise Lenin. This shows that truth, morality, death count none of this matters. Only the will of the globalist elite and their academic mouthpieces.

"
The friend of the dead who knows the facts is likely to think that the words of the speaker fall short of his knowledge and of his wishes; another who is not so well informed, when he hears of anything which surpasses his own powers, will be envious and will suspect exaggeration. Mankind are tolerant of the praises of others so long as each hearer thinks that he can do as well or nearly as well himself, but, when the speaker rises above him, jealousy is aroused and he begins to be incredulous.

>most things are grey, but every now and again there's something jet fucking black
>and then things got worse
>history doesn't repeat, but it certainly rhymes
>we were moving mountains before we knew we could
And, finally, the most important one of all:
>everything--life, love, no matter fucking what--has context. learn that context, and you'll come off happier, and with a better understanding for everything that happens to and around you.

I don't need to give an example because there has never been a single truly unique historical event. Everything that is happening now has already happened before in some shape or form.
>>1071508
I'd consider myself a realist, alright? But in philosophical terms I'm what's called a pessimist
I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself - we are creatures that should not exist by natural law
We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, that accretion of sensory experience and feelings, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody's nobody
I think the honorable thing for our species to do is to deny our programming. Stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction - one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal
