Why do the likes of the Mongols, Huns and Vikings get glorified when all they did was murder, rape and destroy civilisation just for the hell of it?
They were hundreds of times worse than modern terrorists. At least modern terrorists are fighting for some kind of cause, or at least they believe they do. These people were just brutal savages.

No
muh historical bushfire
Why, when better treatment of workers has shown to improve productivity, do factory bosses treat laborers like shit? Not only today, but throughout history - I don't see how raping employees in 19th-century England or working natives to death in Mexican colonies could be at all profitable.
Which is why competition improves labor conditions.
>>845935
I don't really get what you're saying m8, we've had free trade with Mexico for a decade and it's not like their factories are shining examples of workers rights.
>>845894
You must understand, these working conditions, by standerds of the country beforehand (19th century england, modern east asia, mexico ect) are coming off working conditions already at a sub-human level. The working conditions of the workers in sweatshops, are equally bad, or arguably better to the slaving farm labor they would do other.
Who are closest descendants of Alexander the Great and his soldiers?
>>845625

>>845633
Alexander was bisexual.

I bet you wouldn't say that to his face.

>When the Trojans opened their doors, they found a giant wooden horse. "Wow, neat!" they said, "Let's take it inside and go to sleep without investigating it."
>"You idiots!" said Laocoön, "Are you completely dense? How much more obvious can a trap possibly be for you to still fall for it?"
>Then two sea serpents appeared and ate Laocoön, as well as both of his sons, alive. They screamed in pain and agony while the rest of the Trojans stood by and watched.
>"Huh, that was weird" said the Trojans, "Let's get back to taking this giant horse inside our walls and leaving ourselves defenseless."

The Trojan Horse story isn't in the Iliad.

Why do people condemn the 4th crusade all the time, but no one mentions the massacre of the latins?
Not saying the 4th crusade was a good thing, but it seems like they provoked some kind of retaliation
People do like the Roman empire, it's much funnier to adore an enlightened empire that fell victim to the barbary and bad manners of it's neighbor instead of just one powerful player among many others that could be just as brutal as it's enemies.
>>844953
Well people like to romanticize the Byzantine Empire
>>844953
Probably because the ruin of a city like Constantinople is seen as a bigger crime than killing a bunch of merchants.
Why Ivan the Terrible is still remembered as a sort of Empire builder? He left Muscowy/Russia utterly ruined, defeated in war and ripe for a dynastic crisis.
H-he did great in the first half, until he got a bad flue that made him go insane...
That's what wikipedia and RT thought me.
Stalinist history rewriting is reason here basically.

Suffering strenghtens the soul and he made Russian souls of his time very strong indeed.

He meant This agglomeration which was called and which still calls itself the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.
He meant I'm a French and I need to shovel everyone into the dirt because even thinking about the unholy state I was born into is too painful

I dunno if this is a retarded thing to do, but I found my philosophy notes and am thinking about dumping them here to hear critique of the notes and to see if I've been bamboozled by the system or if it's legit. What do you think?

Philosophy
Distinguish between principle-based ethics and consequentialist ethics
There are many ways to gain wisdom
There are many kinds of philosophy
In Asian philosophies, they do not distinguish between mysticism and rationalism, to the point that religion and philosophy is intertwined
Western philosophy is different in this way. And it's what we'll be focusing on in this brief course
1) It's reasonable/rational
2) It's critically-minded
These two things mean that it demands rational justifications for positions taken
It's not enough to say 'a holy book says this' or 'a wise/respected person has taught this'
Rational proof is always required
Western philosophy is also open-minded, in the sense that it's prepared to genuinely consider propositions which are counter-intuitive or even disturbing, and accept them, if they can be rationally proven
Ancient Greece
By 600 B.C., the Greeks had centuries of contact with other societies...some of which had very different customs and beliefs.
The Greek response was not 'ethical relativism,' -i.e. to say that all moral perspectives are equally valid. Instead they asked...who is right?
Their religion was not able to answer these and other questions.
So they began to look elsewhere...and began to develop a system of rational inquiry...one which was more and mroe separate from religion and/or mysticism.
This process seems to have really begun with the philosopher Thales in c. 600 B.C.
The ancient Greek language (unusually precise and subtle) had recently been developed by this point.
It greatly facilitated intellectual inquiry.
Greek philosophy flowered in the centuries that followed, especially in the city-state of Athens.
Some early important figures were:
Parmenides and Heraclitus (whom we'll meet when we look at Metaphysics) Zeno, who is best known for his famous paradoxes, and Democritus, the first to come with the idea of "atoms.
Where did Reagan democrats come from?
>>843273
He was a fucking horrible president that baby boomers worship. The first thing my mom told me 2 Sundays ago when I got home from work was that Nancy Reagan died and I could see that she was actually crying over someone that she never knew or did something of good virtue.
>>843356
It's not as bad as the fact that she probably cried when Princess Diana died.
>>843384
Nah, it was much worse when she cried over John Lenon.

Why does /his/ shit on the African American belief that they have a tie to Egypt when they don't make fun of any other orgin story?
England has nothing to do with Troy, Jews have nothing to do genetically with Judea, Americans literally have nothing to do with Rome, so why does his get butthurt everytime a member of an down held group makes up its own mythology?
Isn't that history?

what's this about england having links to troy? I know literally nothing about it
