Is the universe and all its subjects subject to mathematically perfect darwinism?
Not really. Darwinism can't be applied to the universe in the same way that it's applied to organisms. Apples to apples m8.
WTF am I reading?

Stalin did nothing wrong.
I fucked your mom

>purged his officer corps out of paranoia, thus castrating his army's ability to effectively wage war
>>559630
He was a fucking mass-murderer you illiterate bastard. I don't give a shit what you say, attacking Finland can NEVER be justified. He was a monster, and if I had lived in that time and known this, I would have certainly made an attempt on his wretched life.
All 4 of my grandparents were from Sicily, Italy. Historically, my ancestors would be considered what race?

Has there ever been something you heard about history that you always laughed off at bullshit, only to be shocked when you find out it was actually true?
This movie for example with the evil british basically being nazis to the colonist. I always thought it was just made up shit to make the bad guy more evil for the sake of the story, but it wasnt that uncommon.
The movie is set in South Carolina, and in the southern states, the british beat back the colonial army, and then put the Loyalist in charge and then really did horrible thing. Shit like decapitate people...

It's something in the water desu
>WEZ NOT SLAVES
I facepalm every time I see that part of the movie.
This is probably the worst, least historically accurate movies to ever try to pass itself off.
Yes, British rule could be cruel. Both sides officially frowned on acts of brutality. But there were incidents anyway, on both sides, though probably not nearly as prevalent as in other wars of that era.
Ceasar is the single most competent individual to have ever appeared in recorded (and almost certainly unrecorded history as well) history, and even if he was born as part of capite censi he'd probably still have ended up dictator or at least consul. Discuss.
What made him such a genius above geniuses, was it genetics? Nurture? Radioactive spiders?
Pic unrelated, just some idiot
Pompey was better
>>559417
Pic related is the real reason the roman republic fell and became yet another shitty empire, albeit a large one.
They should change the beginning of the common era to when Augustus became emperor t.bh
>>559399
This desu. Even if you call it the common era it's still based on christianity
>>559399
>They should change the beginning of the common era to when Augustus became emperor t.bh
Congrats, an even less globally irrelevant factor .
Keep the fucking BC/AD. I'm an Atheist and it keeps shit tidy. Change it when we start settling in Space in Earnest Tbh.

What role did people on the autistic spectrum, both low & high functioning, have in general history?
If you could pick one low functioning and one high functioning example of historical autists, who would they be?
As justification for exorcists to exorcise demons out of "possessed" children
read Madness and Civilization
>>559380
I DO NOT THINK THAT GENERALLY, LOW FUNCTIONING AUTISTIC PERSONS HAVE HAD HISTORICAL RELEVANCE, OR A REMARKABLE INFLUENCE UPON HISTORICAL EVENTS, SINCE LOW FUNCTIONING AUTISM IS, UNLIKE HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISM, MENTAL IMPAIRMENT, BUT IT IS CERTAIN THAT HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISTIC PERSONS HAVE PLAYED A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CIVILIZATION, AND HAVE GENERALLY HAD GREAT HISTORICAL RELEVANCE.
SOME RENOWN PERSONS THROUGHOUT HISTORY THAT ARE SUSPECTED, OR CONFIRMED, TO HAVE BEEN/TO BE HIGHLY FUNCTIONING...

Did Lincoln free the slaves out of a sense of moral obligation or was it merely a political move?
>>559374
Both.
>>559374
Politics imo
>>559379
Agreed
Greetings from /sci/,
I would like to ask what's the point of History if nobody learns from past mistakes.
>Hitler's attack in Russia
> Despite Napoleon doing the same shit and fucking over again
>>559271
Well, Hitler was not the genious mastermind that some people seems to think.
>>559271
Hitler, while a great orator and figurehead, was no strategos.
Contrary to as some portray, Hitler made a number of major strategic blunders throughout the 2nd WW.
Also, history, despite being the greatest repository of ideas, never truly gives exact formulas as to how one should act. Just showing what exact way didn't work.
>>559271
The Nazis came damn close to winning in the USSR in '41 and '42. If Hitler hadn't insisted on telling his generals what to do they might well have won.
Inb4 they were all bad
they were all bad
Best Antichrist of all time ?
I think the current Antichrist is pretty hilarious, he's a Jesuit Marxist.
But the best Antichrist has to be the previous one, he looked very evil like the emperor from Star Wars.
>>559262
>the emperor from star wars
That's Sheev you fuck
Tell me everything you want to share about cold war, bonus point for the 1953-1962 period. Some infograph would be awesome too

Countless countries were thrown into pointless civil wars and suffered under insular regimes for decades, people today still believe giving up everything to a "people's republic" is the way to go.
I'd say communism was a pretty good meme.
how did ancient societies deal with what is now known as cancer?
1 Corinthians 14:34
They didn't have cancer.
Cancer is common now because people eat shitty foods and lack vitamins.
They died from it.

Are Poles the biggest cucks in history?

literally latest chimp out in Germany.
german women getting raped and german media claiming that nothing happened and islam is not at fault.
>>559097
>viewing eastern European history solely through the binary lens of Christianity v. Islam rather than acknowledging the complex ethnic, social, and economic factors which have always played a role in that particular corner of the world
