What you think of this strategy, what the advantages, what the flaws?
Nigga, you expect me to watch nine minutes of something?
Let me give you the standard answers, and see if they apply here.
>there was no realistic way for the Germans to extend their supply lines far enough to remove the USSR from play
>there was no realistic way for the Germans to eliminate England
>as long as America continues to exist, there's a likelihood that their overwhelming industrial power will arrive at England/France in time to skullfuck some Nazis
>the longer the Germans hold out, the likelier it is that either the US or UK develop nuclear weapons and begin to improve the amount of parking space in downtown Berlin by orders of magnitude
How'd I do?

nazis btfo for the trillionth time
>>1178991
Yes, of course you didnt what the video. I mean, if Germany give a shit about URSS and Lebensraun shit and focus the fight on British Empire first, may it have a real chance.

Are the French Germanic or Celtic?
>>1178775
Gallic
>>1178775
Latin, wether they like it not.
>>1178775
Are the mestizos Spaniards or Amerinds?
You are dropped off in a culture of your choosing before the year 1300AD. you are armed with nothing but a set of contemporary middle class clothing, perfect understanding of the languages in the area you picked, and nothing more.
Could you survive where you picked? what skills do you have that could be applied? Would you prosper with your unique knowledge?
>>1178543
My issue is that I'm mixed-race, so no matter how well I know the language or culture I will be instantly recognised as a foreigner of some sort and probably be questioned as to where I really come from.
Honestly not sure. Maybe al-Andalusia would be a good choice.
>>1178560
half black? just get a deep tan or something? I don't know how black people work desu.
>>1178588
I'm mixed Asian and Hispanic. It's a pretty unique combination. The only societies I'd truly be able to blend into would be certain places in Southeast Asia (i.e. the Philippines), or maybe modern-day Hawaii.
>there was a fairly high chance you would be born anytime from 500bc to 1945ad and become a random soldier who throws his life away at some random pointless battle to become immortalized on a wikipedia page and have your death cited by sweaty shut-ins as a reason why one country/kingdom is was better than another
>you were not
>>1178460
There's a much higher chance I'd be born an animal, or a plant, or nothing at all.

No, there fucking isn't.
Let's talk about historical plagues. I've been fascinated by how society changes when disease is rampant and of course, how their conception and treatment has changed over the years. I've been very interested lately in the theory many ancient epidemics might even have been diseases that no longer exist or that we haven't really encountered again, like for example that the plague of Athens was a now-unknown viral hemorragic fever.
> dancing plague
Truly the worst of them all
What about the irish potato famine?
>>1178405
I suppose it was a horrible plague for the potatoes, the blight is still a problem even for modern farms.
So here I am, the year 867. And it struck me.. I should restore the Roman Empire. So now to the question that (may?) justify why this thread is about what culture I should go with in CK 2. Which one, greeks or italians can say they are "closests" to Romans?
>>1178363
Define "romans". If you mean latins, italians are clearly the closest, of course.
>>1178401
Roman Empire, Caesar, muh rhine kind of romans
>>1178363
>Restore
What do you mean restore? Have you not heard of the Eastern Roman Empire? The Byzantines? Constantinople, Miklagard? The empire is still there.
Is there any difference between a fictional character and a real person that has no physical body?
>>1178330
>a real person that has no physical body
wat
>>1178330
Any real person at one point or another had a physical body.

Was LBJ one of the greatest presidents in US history?
>>1178318
He had an absurdly large dick so yes
>>1178324
Who had a bigger dick, Rasputin or LBJ?
>>1178318
>killed JFK
>lost Vietnam
>expanded the welfare state with the "great society"
No he was a pretty shitty president although he was an absolute madman with a ginormous pecker.
I don't know if this trash belongs here but give me all your clever history memes I can use to be clever in other threads.
>>1178269
Take some dank crap for the start off
Why are the historically significant activist groups always lead by people that stand to gain power from the proposed amendments/revolution?
I get that logically, you'd be more inclined to JOIN this sort of thing if you stand to gain, but what I don't understand is why this is seen as also morally or PR-wise better.
Surely someone that is driven solely by decency without any drive but justice is a nobler figurehead?
It's not a matter of convenience, all the big activism groups that actually had influence had supporters from both sides of the argument
plz respond
>>1178266
You mean like how MLK stood to gain the right to vote and shit if the civil rights movement succeeded?
>>1178266
Because the oppressed want to be led by their own. Otherwise the oppressors will take credit for the liberation later on.
Does free will exist /his/? I haven't found a good reason why it should yet.
I think therefore I am. I dont fucking know
>>1178175
honestly I don't understand how to differentiate between free will and determinism
>>1178183
For regular people who are "being controlled" there isnt. FUCKING DESTINY AND SHIT
How do I motivate myself to become extremely hard working when my massive brainpower allows me to clearly see the meaningless of everything, the impossibility of knowledge, and the triviality of all philosophies?
If you were so smart you wouldnt need to ask such a dumb question.
End yourself

"A miracle is a violation of the laws of nature; and as a firm and unalterable experience has established these laws, the proof against a miracle, from the very nature of the fact, is as entire as any argument from experience can possibly be imagined."
Have Christians ever been able to rebut Hume? It seems to me like he dealt them a deathblow and they haven't recovered since.
>>1178073
That sure is a nice ought he derived from an is. Would be a shame if someone demonstrated there are no necessary logical connexions there.
>>1178122
>That sure is a nice ought he derived from an is
Except it's not. It's a descriptive statement, not a normative statement.
>>1178128
It is a statement that, based on prior experience, certain things SHOULD be impossible. But just because that is the case in the past, there is no reason to assume that would be the case in the present, or the future, or at other points prior.
Secondly, it ignores the fact that miracles are, themselves, sensory experiences. If 5 men witness the appearance of the Virgin Mary, or see a man turn into a fox, or what have you, why should they disregard their senses based on induction?
Is Niccolò Machiavelli plebcore /his/?
>>1177714
Yes and no.
only the prince is
read discourses on livy if you want real machiavelli, it's his true magnum opus and not the prince
It depends on whether you consider his work satire or not.
