Voltaire.
Charlemagne aint shit.

Swordfight? Charlemagne? Pistol duel? Voltaire. Hand to hand combat? Charlemagne. War of words? Voltaire

All in all, pretty equal, I'd say.

Voltaire posters are seriously fucking up this board. Pretty soon it's gonna be just like /tv/ is with Baneposting except with a shitty, forced, unfunny, and inflexible meme on what could've potentially been a great board.

RIP /his/
2015-2016

Or people will forget about it in three months and go back to posting Stirner memes

>>1000887
Voltaire memes are neither forced, nor unfunny, nor inflexible.
>>
>>1000932
I doubt it. The board has been going downhill for a while now.
>>
>>1000887

I agree.

Diogenes should be the Baneposting of /his/.

Would a Dark Age warrior emperor win in any sort of contest of violence against some bitchy satirist? Gee I wonder
>>
>>1000805

It would be pretty equal until Voltaire sees anime Astolfo.

Then either Voltaire wins by constantly mocking how Astolfo looks or they both FUCK HIM IN THE ASS.

Pic related; that's how Japan sees Astolfo, 12th Paladin of Charlemange.

DIOGENES IS THE PATRON SAINT OF SHITPOSTING

If Diogenes is the patron saint of shitposting, then Voltaire should be its God.

No, that's Voltaire. Diogenes is smalltime.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltaire#Writings
Voltaire also engaged in an enormous amount of private correspondence during his life, totalling over 20,000 letters. Theodore Besterman's collected edition of these letters, completed only in 1964, fills 102 volumes.[75] One historian called the letters "a feast not only of wit and eloquence but of warm friendship, humane feeling, and incisive thought."[76]

Diogenes is a god.

So patron saint of shitposting.

Except Diogenes was literally the most alpha alpha in the history of alphas

I don't think being an assburger counts as being alpha.
>>
>>1002259
Alexander of Macedonia offered to give him anything he desired, and all he asked for was for Alexander to step out of his sunlight.

That is god damn legendary. Voltaire's entire life cannot even begin to compare to that single act.

It would only take so long before we'd hit rock bottom. How long does it take before we've discussed all of history to death? Certainly not a long time because most posters here are posters with shallow knowledge of history who mostly come here for their daily injection of /gsg/ tier stale and unfunny memes.
>>
>>1002354
Doubt it. History is a ridiculously huge subject to cover, one can't just "discuss all of it". What I think will happen is people asking stale questions like "could Germany win WW2?" or "Alexander thread #1232" will be chased off the board and some more obscure stuff will have a room for discussion.

Although we will have more dank memes too, they're vital like oxygen.

I don't think even Diogenes was madman enough to do that. Pretty sure this should be "pluck".

seems like you're using the voltaire meme to generate some attention towards yourself. if you were really opposed, then you wouldn't have referenced it at all. the more you talk about something, the more popular you make it - look at fucking drumpf
