That's a lot of Celts
The infantry contingents of a traditional consular army during the 4th to 2nd Century BC was two Roman Legions(one per consul)
On top of this the allies were required to match the romans in manpower, so an additional 5000 auxilia would bring the strength up to a total of around 10.000 men.
In theory a consul would only command a single legion, but as the state grew and the wars got bigger they added additional legions when needed.
What spoken language is the most harsh, guttural, and generally just intimidating? Not even strictly currently-spoken languages, I'm also willing to accept dead languages too.
Old Norse? Hittite? Phoenician?
Norse is very sing-songy so definitely not that, it's actually fairly pretty.
Maybe some old slavic I think is most appropriate.

Sumerian isn't that bad, I'm voting for Phoenician here. Sounds like spitting nails.
Can we have a thread about this absolute madman?

Was that the real reason for his success?
Given that photos and videos can be easily faked, and written souces are even more biased, how can we know that everything we learn about history was actually real and not made up?
Actually many historians do take that skeptical view, although if you only have limited sources, you make the best conclusions you can.

There's a Russian guy who says the middle ages never happened:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Chronology_(Fomenko)
What were knights like in the middle ages?
How would they go about in their everyday life?
How would they prep for battle?
Is it true that they would shit and piss in their armor sometimes and then clean it out later or is that just an ebin meme?
Knights were like the F-35 of their day. Glorious, flashy, proud and intimidating. They were a huge expense and those boys were prissy as fuck. Knights were used as the elite cavalry employed by Dukes and Earls, and they required a whole staff, multiple horses, and one or two wagons of supplies (plus normal supply train needs if traveling far for battle i.e. England vs. Frants).
In the end, utilizing knights and ragtag missionary forces was a huge expense for lackluster military advantage. Eventually the medieval kingdoms raised and maintained regular disciplined armies and the knights went bye-bye. The Romans went through the same BS in the Republican age. They kept getting bullied and sacked by their neighbors until they realized farmers and shopkeeps with pitchforks led by a few soliders was a shit idea in a growing world.

If I remember right, they abolished the army after a civil war. Just by doing that, they made a difference in the region.

Modern Russian uniforms are generally a fucking joke. Full dress uniforms tastelessly mix together Russian Imperial and Brezhnev era Soviet Army elements and service uniforms make soldiers wearing them look like mall cops.
Everything regarding airborne is especially terrible.

One good thing I can give them credit for, however, is that they finally got rid of the humongous caps you could land a helicopter on, pic related.

Hitler was a full blown Keynesian, to the point he even inspired Keynesians later on.

I was thinking about Kant today and I realised that the Categorical Imperative really is a flawless. The only major """"""""criticism"""""""" put forward is the Inquiring Murderer and Kant turned upside on its head and claimed that the dilemma was really just an extreme hypothetical example of the Categorical Imperative in practice.
I'm serious, all the criticisms I see are just opinions like "too dogmatic", "self righteous", or "overzealous".
So /his/, was Kant right? Are we dutifully obligated to never violate universal laws no matter how harmless they seem and uphold Good without hesitation?

Does anyone else unironically think the Axis were the good guys and at the same time disagree with almost all of Hitler's major decisions?
>stood idle while Finland and Romania were attacked by Stalin
>failed to get Britain on his side
>persecution of minorities in Germany only hindered the war
>failed to persuade Poland - possibly the most anti-Russian country in Europe - to join the Axis
>allowed the British to retreat at Dunkirk
>didn't force Spain's hand
>didn't force Finland's hand
>treated the Baltic states as conscripts instead of allies
>helped Italy for reasons that aren't immediately obvious
>treated the Ukrainians very poorly and removed Bandera
>treated the Croatians rather poorly
>failed to guard Antonescu from Romanian traitors
>didn't use chemical weapons even when it became obvious the Axis was going to lose
Just...why? Even Wagner would've been a more conscientious commander-in-chief, for fucks' sake.
How about you fuck off?

If religion is a spook, how is it possible that it appeared literally everywhere on the world? I can't name a single ancient civilization without religion or mythology.
Do humans instinctively want an answer for the things they can't comprehend?
>>1412818
Basically every spook appeared independently in various places in the world. Gods, property, kings, whatever you name it.
>Do humans instinctively want an answer for the things they can't comprehend?
Yes, humans are very arrogant creatures and don't like accepting "I dunno" for an answer.
>>1412839
>>1412818
Concepts of what is religion is just unified by the belief that there is a higher being. That itself is not a spook since there is the possibility to exist of something mightier than thou.
Thats the fault on steiner logic, it completely disregards the presence of very real possibilities and "natural" facts unavoidable that are not spooks
For example death, all men must die someday, he cannot spookyfi death even tho its a spooky bussiness.
Nor it can spookify existance although i recall he calls existance and awareness the unique and its spooks its property
>>1412887
He doesn't "spookify" anything. That part of Stirner isn't prescriptive, it's descriptive. If it isn't real, it's already a spook, and all he does is reveal it.
Happy Bastille day /his/

Would you prefer to live in a world controlled by an intelligent computer?
Chill dude, we're getting there. I like to think that facebook one day will be like skynet, become self aware and conquer human species.
It would probably put humanity on a massive birth control program, which i support. But it will also take away freedom of choice, which will suck balls.

do we really have freedom of choice? aren't we control birth in person ? isn t our education who teach us about how many chrildren do we suppose to have ? ARE WE ALREALDY CONTROLLED BY AN INTELLIGENT COMPUTER ?
