How big a moron was Hitler? It seems on hundreds of occasions what turned out to be the correct thing to do, he did the complete opposite.

Let's make a list of instances where Hitler did everything wrong.

Pic not related, but a very nice place to visit.

>getting cold feet at Dunkirk and letting the British Expeditionary Force escape
>the concept of invading Russia
>declaring war on the USA
>actually invading Russia
>having unrealistic and too broad of goals for the invasion of Russia
>constantly changing your main focus after the invasion had started
>pulling three panzer divisions from army group center who were charging towards Moscow to help AGN and AGS capture Leningrad and encircle soviets at Kiev and then pulling them back to AGC right before winter and expecting them to have time to capture Moscow.
>dismissing the leader of your Army group and assigning yourself the new commander
>thinking that will can overcome things such as logistics and tactics
>not allowing tactical retreats
>allowing complete armies to get surrounded and wiped out
>wasting resources on stupid wonder weapon projects
>allowing your armies to get bogged down in street fighting
>not realizing that the strength of your army is using mobility and blitzkrieg tactics and not stagnant World War I Era battles of attrition
>replacing commanders that disagree with you
>becoming addicted to drugs
>having a quack as your personal physician
>trying to micromanage the largest invasion force in world history
>refusing potential allies (i.e. nationalist Ukrainians) because you had retarded racial policies and instead make them enemies.
>hesitating at moscow and kursk for months allowing the Russians to build impenetrable defences.

Why did the Roman Empire fall? And I mean in the West, not in the East.
23 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
they were cucked by the celts
>>
Endless civil war combined with an increasingly sedentary population once the empire stopped expanding lead to Romans identifying more with the land they were born in than the empire all together.

Remember when Julian was proclaimed Augustus by his own men? They were ethnic Celts/Gauls who had no intention of marching against Persia to defend the Eastern provinces they never seen nor cared about. So when Constantius asked for their reinforcement, they decided to rebel.

But I'd mostly chalk it up to Civil Warfare being seen as acceptable, gradually deteriorating any sense of shared Roman identity.

Was the de-Christianization of France a bad idea?

But it only lasted like a year.

>>929941
Think about the effect of it. A ton of important thinking was gated off by the religion. France's de-Christianization was a spark that resounded through all of Europe, it's part of what makes our modern world possible. It also got rid of a monarchy was was horribly degenerate and paved the way for Napeloinic France was revitalized culture.

Is there any truth or validity to Terrence McKenna's "Stoned Ape theory" of human evolution?
12 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>926353
Not really. Terrence McKenna was just a fucking stoner hippie who really liked eating mushrooms, and managed to make a living talking nonsense to delusional people.

I've done mushrooms. They don't make you any smarter or anything of the like. Perhaps a mushroom made some dumb early man think more about his world... but, so did hurricanes, droughts, fireflies, and predators. Lots of events, big and small, contributed to the evolution of human intelligence. To suggest that mushrooms deserve any significant amount of credit... is nonsense.

I mean, it's an oxymoron, it's conceptually contradictory, that in itself proves the failure of "anarchocommunism" but I'd like to read some articles that go into details about the true non-democratic nature of the AnComs in Spain.

Venice didn't just sell shit. They controlled supply for essentially all of western europe. Economies had to react to Venetian policies rather than be freestanding.

You're essentially complaining that Wall St doesn't do anything.

So Im trying to understand how the SS was structured. I know it was basically an army made to fight for Hitler and nazism specifically instead of for Germany like the regular Wehrmacht

>Waffen SS-elite proto special forces who would fight in the front lines of battle with the help and equipment of the Heer

>Orpo-regular German police force

>SS-TV-in charge of running and maintaining the concentration camps

>Gestapo-secret police who would sniff out political criminals

>SD-intelligence and spy shit. basically the nazi CIA

And then Himmler is in charge of running all of this. Is that it?

Pretty much.
>>
Basically the dedicated nazis. Only allowed to join if you were a pure or very close to pure aryan. If I remember correctly hitter said he was going to cede a small state to himmler for the ss in the same why the Teutonic order had their own state
>>
>Waffen SS
>"""""""elite""""""""
Shitty meme. They were basically the political thugs of the SA given hand-me-down equipment from the Heer. Their best use was charging blindly at the enemy and getting themselves cut down.
