Churchill is hiding a boner, Roosevelt is having a stroke, and Stalin is remembering that he was supposed to kill somebody today

there's been places where similar things have happened, namely shit people wrote down in the more preserved ancient towns, including a treasure trove of shit from Pompeii that includes everything from daily gossip to political commentary.

http://www.pompeiana.org/Resources/Ancient/Graffiti%20from%20Pompeii.htm

it's actually pretty funny that we get to see shit like "I'm fucking Lucius' wife" 2200 years later.

They invented the wheel and shiet. Also I guess Europe and Iran are good places to build an empire

Because chariots made it the most widespread language family in various parts of Eurasia, which inevitably lead to it being spoken by the civilizations that eventually rose in those areas, one of which conquered the world.

You mean why were the Spanish, English, and French so successful?

Because let's be honest it was pretty much all them.

Is economics a branch of the Humanities or is it an exact science?

Also, what would /his/ recommend to someone who's trying to learn economics by himself, at home, without the assistance of college classes? Is Mankiw's book "Principles of Economics" a good way to start?

Also, economics general.

Why? If you just want to learn these things, there are plenty of free courses online from very reputable schools.

Here's one link I have saved.

Most of the online courses I've come across are just too superficial. I have indeed started some of them, though I haven't finished a single one.

>People with freedom accomplish nothing but inevitably hurting themselves or others
>Freedom does not lead to happiness, rather the opposite
>Freedom is a worthless ideal spread by worthless idealists
is there an ideology with any intellectual backing that aligns with these points

De Maistre is probably a good start.
I guess that's traditionalism or reactionary conservatism.
You should also give Nietzsche a look, but you will have to think for yourself a bit, too.

Is there a /his/ approved list of movies, or just /his/ related movies in general?
I'd like to watch something.
5 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
/his/ is not one person therefore there is no list of /his/ approved movies.

>I'd like to watch something

There are countless historical time periods, events, and genres that would make a film qualify as a /his/ movie. What are you interested in?
>>
>>1427326
Something entertaining rather than a straight documentary as long as historical inaccuracies are minor, or hilariously wrong/"alternate history"/what-if taking place anywhere between the Age of Sail and the fall of the Soviet Union
>>
>>1427320
Finding Private Ryan is unironically an excellent movie in this regard. Obviously there is bias towards the Americans but overall the structure of the army(s) and especially the nature of the combat is pretty spot on. But I'll be surprised if you browse /his/ and haven't watched it already.

Not so sure exactly how accurate it is, but Beneath Hill 60 is a nice WWI film about Australian sappers.

Brain's a bit blank at the moment so can't help you more, sorry!

Saw this on facebook, what is it referring to [Polish in England in 1940]?

I assume it's a reference to Polish military units that were organized in the West after Poland was occupied and its government went into exile.

Was the failure of the Pearl Harbor attack the BIGGEST military fuck-up ever, even more so than diverting the tanks in Barbarossa?

>... the failure of the Pearl Harbor attack...

HOW WAS THE ATTACK A FAILURE, ACCORDING TO YOU?
>>
>>1427164
Because it led to the japs getting violated in every orifice for half a decade.
>>
>>1427062

No, there were way bigger ones.

> even more so than diverting the tanks in Barbarossa?

Assuming you're talking about Kiev, that was the right move. The mistake was going back to Moscow once they demolished the pocket. Taking Moscow didn't win the war for Napoleon and it wouldn't win the war for Hitler. Keep pushing in the south.

>>1427164

By what possible measure could it possibly be considered a success? It set up the very strategic considerations that eliminated any tactical impact it might have had, and severely damaging 4 obsolescent BB is hardly war-winning against a country that has another 13 to throw immediately and more under construction, (some very near to finishing)

If in a country the two leading ideals are freedom and democracy, what happens if it's democratically decided to end freedom?
10 posts and 1 images submitted.

there Is no such thing as freedom unless you live in the woods alone.

YOU can only pick and choose from what is provided to you.
>>
You end freedom for the people who want to end freedom.

That way they get what they want, a dictatorship, and everyone else gets what they want, a democracy.

>66. Napoleon and Hitler: two faces of the same coin, with devastation following at the end in either case. Why the extra hatred for the latter? Partly the far greater scale and scope of WWII over the Napoleonic Wars, partly the increased power in the means of war and the ensuing devastation, partly Jewish lies and propaganda. That no one studies history any more and therefore has no clue who Napoleon was and more importantly what he did, is not exactly helping either.

What did he mean by this?

If you think that the Holocaust never happened, just substitute Poles, Gypsies, gays, mental patients, or Russian POWs.
