17th century European army vs 100 AD Roman legion.
Who wins if they both have equal numbers, fight in plain terrain and have the average army composition of their day?

Are there any books that analyse and explain the nazi's beliefs in occultism?
I've heard of Kenneth Hite's book, but I'm not sure if I trust an video game writer to teach me history
Miguel Serrano and Savitri Devi took the nazi occult shit and cranked the memes up to 11.

Yes there is. Use Google.
What happened to it? For centuries, people in Europe and America were taught the classical liberal arts education of the trivium (grammar, logic and rhetoric) and the quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy). This would, of course, be bolstered by other studies such as geology, philosophy, theology or what have you but for centuries it seemed to work and produced our great thinkers and leaders.
So what happened? Why has it fallen by the wayside, seemingly becoming hijacked by/associated with the idea of lazy/useless young people and crap like gender studies and the like? At the same time there's an increasing emphasis on going to school to find a job or career as opposed to going to become an educated, virtuous, enlightened man. What caused that change and is there any way to get back to it?
A liberal arts education today has little value, since the world labor supply exceeds the world supply of capital. 50,000,000 more liberal arts-educated people would not expand the economy as much as 50,000,000 more people educated in diverse subject matter.
Also recall that education was the purview of the wealthy before public schools became widespread. Being wealthy precludes the need for functional education in welding or structural engineering, for example.
Also consider that even in primary school, we know far more about the natural world than our ancestors, so more and more of the curriculum is taken up by ideas like "evolution" and "ecology" and socially useful subjects like drug prevention or civics.
>>1179612
So I guess that brings up the question of why even have an education in the first place? Just give kids a basic grade school education then start them in vocational schools as early as possible. There's no real value placed on knowledge anymore because it seems that the options are "GOTTA WORK GONNA BE A STEMLORD" or "fuck you gonna major in gender studies with a focus on undocumented Amazonian tribes". It just seems that education as a whole has become far more compartmentalized with everything getting its own niche and less broad with the idea of creating a well-rounded individual.

Well take it from the name artes liberales, can be interpreted as "arts" for the free men.
As Cicero said, you are little different than a slave if you have to get up in the morning and toil until sunset in order to eat.
Hence liberal arts should be reserved for the rich. It was reserved for the rich in early 20st, century and beyond. Thank FDR's GI bill that eventually made everyone thinking they are entitled for a college education.
If you have to work in order to eat, you shouldn't study liberal arts, humanities etc.
Tell me about this guy.

I have something you might be interested in, /his/.
It's a short book from 1947 written by American labor journalist Ralph Chaplin. In it, he gives an overview of the methods by which organized Communists infiltrated labor unions and bent them to the ends of the USA Communist Party, acting as a liaison for the Soviet Union. He goes into great detail of old-school infiltration and propaganda tactics, and provides many examples of how US unions fell to such influence.
In all, lots of neat early-20th century labor history here. The names Chaplin brings up include Harry Bridges, Earl Browder, Joseph Curran, Michael J. Quill and Ben Gold.
Since I couldn't find a copy of it online, I decided to photograph and transcribe the book and share it with you guys. Hope you enjoy it.

Some choice excerpts, along with some key illustrations:
"Red baiting" is held up to the public in general and to the labor movement in particular as a very vile and reprehensible thing. So efficient has been the work of the publicity machinery of the party that the term itself has become a kind of synonym for die-hard reaction and labor hatred. The assumption is that there is no answer to the accusation. When they "put the finger on you" as a "red baiter" the jig is up. The only thing you can do is hang your head in shame as though you had been caught stealing pennies from a blind man or trying to beat your wife.
"Red baiter!" shouts the undercover Communist in the union hall whenever anyone dares to oppose his will. Immediate and energetic denial is expected, and if this is not forthcoming, you are pigeon-holed and catalogued as an outstanding example of everything unprogressive and reactionary. In other words, if you do not permit the Communist or apologist to go unchallenged and unopposed, you are forthwith branded with this Muscovite mark of Cain - and that's all there is to it. Every good American with a union card in his pocket should be proud to be called a "red baiter." He should be proud to include Communists among his enemies.

A few quotations from communist books, theses and documents will give an equally clear picture of the sort of propaganda and indoctrination which enabled Harry Bridges and his party-trained henchmen to split the West Coast labor movement into two parts. Let us start with what Earl Browder had to say about the CIO at the time the dual organization was in the midst of its first onslaught:
"The leaders of the CIO have shown great alertness to the main political problems of the day, and a growing readiness to act upon these problems, in which they faithfully reflect the rising political consciousness of the masses whom they lead. The CIO has become, not only a great force in economic life but also simultaneously in politics. It expresses in all fields a process which may be described as the birth of the American working class as an independent and conscious force...
"Labor generally, includes us Communists, who approach this question with our own standards, have every reason to proceed to the particular task and problems facing us, with great confidence in the strategical line of the CIO leadership...
"The strategy of the CIO has proved itself to be basically sound and correct. We find that it coincides with what we independently estimated as correct strategy...
"The whole line of the Communist Party has been, must remain, and must become universal - one of confidence and whole-hearted collaboration in the work with the responsible leading elements and with the rank and file activists who make up the core of this great historical movement of the CIO..."

>tfw 22 and scared of dying
Why shouldn't I be afraid to die? What if there is nothing there for me?
No use being afraid of something that's inescapable.
>>1183114
Because it's not going to bother you much when you're dead. Unless you're religous I suppose.
Just remember that there are billions of humans (and animals) that have already died, and that your death will thus be nothing special.
I dunno why but I always found that very comforting - yeah I'll die but at least I'm not the only one, as morbid as that sounds. My grandparents faced it. So did their grandparents, and their grandparents, and theirs, and so on. And I'll have to face it too, just like they all did.
What would happen if Germany have focus all his forces in British Empire(Britain, North Africa, Middle Eastern) the way it did with URSS instead?
Failed invasion of Britain followed by getting completely steamrolled by the Soviets. War ends three years sooner.
Consider our humble screwdriver. Can we possible think of all uses of the screwdriver: no we cannot. How can we possibly prestate all possible uses of the screwdriver in all possible environment? I think you get my point.
Any question of "what if" preassumes that we can possibly predict the causuality of any minor changes: this we cannot.
This rebellion against "what if" speculations is an initial hint of a new emerging worldview.

How old is your city/area? What's some local history?

I'm from Hazleton, founded in 1780. Basically a bunch of coal-mining, industrial work, and workers' rights battles.
In all adaptations they show Alexander as some faggot fuccboi boywonder, while to be honest, the fucker had to have some battlehardened menacing pressence to be able to inspire fear and authority in order to conquer the known world. who the fuck would follow a twink.
Yes, I understand he himself fucked his own fuckboys, but so did Hercules in the legends, in those times not having fucked a man and subdued him to your own wishes meant you weren't a real man yourself.
>1 The outward appearance of Alexander is best represented by the statues of him which Lysippus made, and it was by this artist alone that Alexander himself thought it fit that he should be modelled.
As a man who has spent most of my years in locker rooms , boxing/MMA gyms, and state prison, most of the most macho, violent, respected and charismatic men are also gay.
Not that I would respect them any less for it, I'm not homophobic in any way shape or form. Most dudes are so low key gay or bi at the very least. Look at every hipster ever that rocks a Che Guevara shirt just because that nigga "looks" cool or every fauxMarxist on this board. They all claim to agree with their views and shit, but in reality they like their appearance in photos because they're just kinda gay. I'm straight as fuck, so no man can shape my views, and I laugh at most overly macho man and their insecurities.
>tl;Dr he was kinda of a fruit ,but so are most macho macho men.
Fffffwwwwaark he looks tanky as fuck but still a little pretty.
