What is /his/ consensus about History Buffs?
I think it's generally a good chanell, however his Bravehearth review trigerred me. I know history was butchered on that movie, but it's actually a good and fun movie. On the other hand he says that 300 is great when it's really a fighting movie disguised has a an historic epic.
Oh, and his youtube intro is sick.
He is decent as far as youtube "historians" go. The topic of his videos (movies) don't require a phd in history.
He also changed Cleopatra from black to yellow-whiteish in his intro.
He is really fucking annoying. Still like his shit though.
Well he's a perfidious Albion so I don't like him, but his videos are okay. It is interesting to see how the movies adapted history.
Why was Rudolf Hess jailed for over 56 years?
What crimes did he commit for him not be released? All i know is that he tried to negotiate peace in Scotland and was thrown in jail.
>>1224385
He was literally the only Nazi that the bongs got their hands on , so he was made an example of.
>>1224390
But on what baisis was he jailed? And they even claimed that he was mentally unstable
>>1224385
>guy flies to the uk without hitlers permission
>tries to make peace
>this comes out of fucking nowhere
>nobody knows what the fuck he was thinking
>hitler disowns him, slanders him
>the British imprison him for the better part of a century because a nazi wanted to make nice
One of the most bizarre episodes in recent history
Do people have a moral obligation with society? Is it viceversa? Does the west (aka. more advanced countries) have an obligation with the rest of the world?
>>1224090
Obviously it does have an obligation since most of it's people think so.
There seems to be a problem in the west to compartmentalize and separate attitudes towards foreigners and attitudes towards one's own population.
The west has come to hate all aggression except self defense and its exactly in the name of self defense that the west wages wars today.
Perhaps its because US is the current hegemon but the US is also a society of immigrants.
Europe has decided, after WW2, that it cannot be responsible for war any longer and was replaced by the US and the Soviet Union, both of which had and have inclusive revolutionary ideals.
A moral obligation to do what exactly?
>>1224090
I view society as our moral obligation to one another.
Anyone heard of Diogenes? He was basically the ultimate NEET of his time
>>1223857
I heard he liked jacking it in public.
>>1223857
>Anyone heard of Diogenes?
No. Literally no one on a board dedicated to the discussion of philosophy and the social sciences is aware of a relatively prominent philosopher from the classical age of philosphy.
>>1223857
No, please tell us more ;)
Art supposedly tells us about the society from which it comes from.
What can we learn from American art through the ages then? Can you really see the moral decay of the nation through our art?

Hello Juan.
Why are the Japanese gangster so different than the rest of the world? While there are simple thugs in Japan the real Yakuza are manipulation master-minds.
You have to pay to be a Yakuza, and on top of that if you aren't earning large amount of sums you cannot even be a Yakuza.
It's the ultimate scam, there are also theories about the Yakuza stopping a lot of the drug trade in Japan - America is now pressuring the Japanese govt to get rid of these old-school Yakuza, as they generally tolerated them.
>>1223062
The yakuza take care of the streets better than the Japanese government does.
>>1223072
That is also the idea I got from them, the only thing which gave them a negative connotation were the sketchy things they did in business.
And of course the public acts of violence.
>>1223062
The Yakuza are facing a huge shortage of members and increasing crackdowns by police and are having a PR problem. The upper echelons of the Yakuza are shrewd businessmen, so now they're trying to rebrand themselves as a sort of right wing traditionalist group, like a Finnish Sons of Odin type thing. Of course, they're also still an international crime syndicate that deals in all of the nitty gritty mafia-types stuff like extortion and brothels, so make of it what you will.
As for why the US opposes the Yakuza, they're one of the pillars holding up the more traditional Japanese mindset. This a huge no-no for the globalist-minded governments in the West, especially America. Homogeneous societies are more peaceful and able to project outwards instead of dealing with domestic problems. We need to stay divided and preoccupied so the financial elites can keep rolling in cash.
was hre actually a coherent power or was it a mish mash of autism divided and conquered by the great powers?
Of course it was a coherent power. Why wouldn't it be? Because it was somewhat decentralized?
>divided and conquered by the great powers
It was conquered by one man. What division?
If the fire lord was really serious about conquering the world he should have used soft power instead of hard power

How does one properly define Agnosticism in a context or at least in some semblance of order like it could be done with any other religion?
Beside explaining the lack of position, a suspension of judgement until sufficient "proofs" so to say, what could you say? Cite authors on the matter? Like Huxley that defined it more as a method, akin to the scientific method.
Imagine being told to talk about Christianity, you can talk about it from an historical point, a sociological,
anthropological view, talk about the rituals, the relationship with the supernatural, God, Deities, spirits, ecc.
Then compare it to, imagine being told to talk about or even research about agnosticism, it seems rather devoid of content.
if you want gnosis you start from agnosis
>>1222163
Well I guess curiosity is the most humble form of ignorance, like a state of being where one does not take things for granted, still it seems so vague and odd compared to religion.
>>1222147
Gnosticism is not the opposite of agnosticism, gnosticism is a specific religion
Any theories on who who he was?

>>1221985

Why Germans never opposed resistance to the Allied occupation of Germany? Why didn't they create partisan militias after WW2?
Because Nazi Germany was an utter failure and ever German realized that by 1945
Because you can only resist so much when most young men are either dead or in captivity. Also, there was no chance that the Allies could have been defeated so any further resistance was pointless.

Why the fuck did this guy became so famous?
I tried to read his book and only saw a lot of vomited words. Everything is unclear.
He clearly didn't want to explain what he thought, otherwise he would have made something readable.
Sorry for the mistakes in the writing.

But would the newly implemented Persian rule be better off? Or would there be a rebellion later on that would push Persia back?
