>yfw the powerful Roman Republic came into being because the kangs son muhdikked a noblewoman which created a chimpout that led to the overthrow of the kang himself
Daily reminder that the Tarquins did nothing wrong.

One thing is the reason, another the pretext. The Roman Republic, and every Republic, is the rule of the oligarchy.
You forgot to say "cuck".
i'm starting university in september and i don't want to go in unprepared. i have read quite a lot of philosophy but outside of that i have almost no familiarity with the humanities.
feel free to link me to a top 100 list or just your top 10 or whatever
Faust by Goethe
Meditations by Emperor Marcus Aurelius
Sex and Character by Otto Weininger
The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer
The World as Will and Representation by Arthur Schopenhauer
The Divine Comedy by Dante
The only book you need.
>>1117110
Marx
Freud
Foucault
Whig Interpretation of History
What is History
Making of the English Working Class
Orientalism
Can /his/ give some more examples of broad historical geopolitical goals for individual nations?
For example:
>Britain
Preventing any single power from dominating the European continent, keeping the seas open for trade and commerce, and controlling key naval chokepoints (Gibraltar, Singapore, Suez, etc)
>Russia
Establishing buffer client states or directly ruled border provinces that protect Russia from land invasion, securing a warm water port, and dominating Central Asia
>Germans
Roping together the various central European states under a single leader/flag
>United States
Pushing out European colonial governments in the Americas and replacing hem with compliant puppet states, realising Manifest Destiny
Any major ones I'm missing or ones I've got wrong?
>Aztec Empire
Allowing enemy states to live and trade, but under the condition of having constant ceremonial wars were the Aztec as always the winner, in order to keep its "trade partners" always weak in military numbers without having to actually invade or waste more resources than needed, and sacrificing countless numbers of war prisoners passing it as a religious affair, but in reality being a way of showing off its power to the neighborhood
>Russia only invaded / occupied other countries because they wanted to protect themselves
Back to 2ch vatnik scum
>France
Get baguette
What if there was united, capitalist Korea from 1945?
Gee, I dunno.
It would probably be unified and capitalist

Has there ever been a Christian secret (or discrete) society dedicated to fight the many revolutionary movements and ideologies that have sprung up since the French Revolution in the East or West?
It seems like every Christian religious society is dedicated to entryism of Judeo-Masonic, Marxist, homosexual etc. elements INTO the Church as opposed to the Church trying to influence society...

>Has there ever been a Christian secret (or discrete) society dedicated to fight the many revolutionary movements and ideologies that have sprung up since the French Revolution in the East or West?
There was the occasional political party in places like Germany and Italy however for the most part it has been unnecessary as for the past 1600 years they have been the establishment and hence not forced into secrecy.
In modern times though there has be a decently successful push by evangelicals to gain control of the lower tiers of the Republican party but thats about it.
>It seems like every Christian religious society is dedicated to entryism of Judeo-Masonic, Marxist, homosexual etc. elements INTO the Church.
Im guessing you are a Catholic here so in general its not entryism at all but creating bodies controlled by the church to contain those people who might be lured by other groups.
>Church trying to influence society...
They have gotten so addicted to Cesare doing the dirty work that they have lost the ability and will to do this and now that the State is no longer willing to play ball they are in a rough position.

>They have gotten so addicted to Cesare doing the dirty work that they have lost the ability and will to do this and now that the State is no longer willing to play ball they are in a rough position.
So true.
>>1116961
There's been plenty of Christian societies trying to make global changes. The Catholic church has had a ton of different bodies, and it itself was a society.
The fact is you don't need to make your society secret if you are on the defense. If you wanted to defend what people perceive as normal why would you go out of your way to make your society harder to find? You'd just lose power that way.
A society only needs to be secret if it is doing something the ruling powers would not approve of. The point of the secret is that they can't stop you if they can't find you or figure out what you are doing.
>Judeo-Masonic, Marxist, homosexua
You mean like what the Catholic has become LOL
Are historians and political scientists just stamp collecting establishment PR men? I get the impression that they are.
>>1116855
No.
>>1116855
Yes.
>>1116855
Maybe.
ITT: We post and discuss only god tier /his/tory books.

Apparently it is god tier

>>1116515
>Just fuck my empire up, famalan
He was pissed he wouldn't be around to rule the empire he created, so he sowed the seeds of civil war to ensure no one could.
Did Canada do anything interesting throughought history besides burning the White House?
>>1116441
Die In WWI and WWII for bongs
Terrorist québécois insurgency
Mini-USA rebellion that the USA actually helped suppress
And loose a tiny bit of land in BC
Other than that nothing much.
Can't recall learning anything about CAN in school. Don't recall them mention the burning thing. And even the capitol I was told not from a history book but from a friend.
yeah if someone could answer OP question Im also interested
fight against natives for centuries. read up on Riel and the Riel rebellion.
Hey /his/
I was wondering if there is any stories surrounding famous bodyguards of royalty in medieval europe? Ive always been interested in people who protect royalty rather than royalty themselves.
Id appreciate any info you can give, thanks in advance.
>>1116433
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dafydd_Gam
He protected Henry so does that make him a bodyguard?
>>1116473
ah yeah man thanks, sorry i should have made it clearer, basically im looking for people who protect royalty, so people who saved their lives or people who stood out
>>1116433
>be bodyguard of Phillip II of Macedon
>get assraped by Macedonian men
>ask Phillip for justice
>phillip denies me justice because my rapists are influential men
>kill phillip out of spite
and because of this phillip is never called the great while his son gets all the credit for the macedonian empire.
add these to the sticky
Lists are terrible and spoon-feeding is just going to create more shit-posters that skimmed a meme image and use that as the basis for their thoughts. Hegel already explained that you can't summarize philosophy into neat little packages and movements.
>>1116437
what happened in 2009?
So what happened to the people living on the right bank of the Rhine in this picture? There seems to be a number of conflicting stories.
Anyone? All you fuckers ever talk about is Rome and Christianity.
Okay, one last try.
>>1116423
lived under Roman protection until the barbarians came and then it became Franconian I think, or Alemannic. hence French term for Germamy, 'Allemagne'
So how exactly did this guy make the leap from being a national hero who removed kebab and defended Christendom to being the prince of darkness? I really doubt Bram Stoker alone is responsible and I even more doubt that all those vicious legends about him were regarded as anything more than propaganda and don't have a single fact to back them up.
He liked to impale people and he was obscure enough (because he got BTFO in the end) that you could use it for spooky stories.
The end.
It happened around the same time when popular opinions went from "impaling Turks is AWESOME" to "impaling anyone is barbaric and deplorable."
And yes, Bram Stoker did create the prince of darkness legend. He was also inspired by the Elizabeth Bathory trial and pretty much combined the two people.
>>1116012
Nah, Bram Stoker isn't responsible.
It's kinda hard when Vlad III Dracula was so well-known for being cruel.
WUZ... what exactly?

So do you guys actually know anything about philosophy, or do you just read Wikipedia for 15 minutes before shitposting?
>>1115812
I don't even bother reading Wikipedia.
I took a philosophy 101 course in college 6 years ago, so I'm an expert
I took two classes on political philosophy last year
I'd be lying if I said I understood ant of it
I remember quite liking Rawls
