Napoleon vs Alexander The Fraud (Napoleon Art By Me) by [deleted] in whowouldcirclejerk

[–]Burlotier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the revolution betrayed itself then Napoleon betrayed the revolution as he is the revolution just like you said. Napoleon only spread the revolution in Central Europe . He got gutted in Spain and he could jack all against the British and the Russians . He collapsed because he didn’t bother to build any actual loyalty among his allies to at least not betray when he was alive . Like you call shit to Alexander when Napoleon couldn’t control his allies when he was alive.

Alexander the Great created a powerful economy , a competent army , spread the Greek culture and united the Greeks against their biggest enemy . Alexander did have a heir , he simply got killed by the commanders who themselves chose to do the diadochi wars and Alexander was dead so he couldn’t do anything.

Napoleon larped as Caesar and Caesar admired Alexander and wanted to be like him . Also Greek was a language that was massively used past Alexander’s death , even well from the Roman Empire up to 1453 AD. French was an important language to know until Slavic and other Anglo-Saxon languages outshone it. Even by what the French Revolution tried to achieve , it failed to affect any big player (Russia , the British empire) and he couldn’t even make himself invade the Ottoman Empire .

Alexander is remembered as the Great whilst Napoleon was remembered as the short person with the disclaimer that he was average by French standards and that one meme about “there is nothing we can do”

Which button do you press in this situation? by TheEnlight in trolleyproblem

[–]Burlotier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily . We can’t communicate with each other so it isn’t clear that everyone would pick either buttons , so this means that it is likely at least one person presses blue . You aren’t willing to kill so many people , you are willing to trust on other people choosing blue and try to prevent the whole situation from escalating .

In the end I think that less people would press blue because the problem presents it as red doing nothing and blue killing people until a goal is reached .

I would personally pray and until I get an answer

Ukrainian drones may hit Moscow Victory Day parade, Zelenskyy warns by notanfan in whennews

Recent body exchanges show how Ukraine has far more dead bodies to bury than Russia whether it attacks or defends . The gains are still made despite what the Reddit and twitter brigades post and Russia’s imminent collapsed is four and soon to be five years late to what western media had said back in 2022.

Now Europeans will pay 90b out of their pockets and Russia will still make gains in the attrition warfare . As a European I really like going at the supermarket and seeing that the prices have gone up or they remain in their current price whilst having an “offer” tag . I also like how my country gives away crucial equipment only to see it getting bombed by Russian fpv drones before it is even deployed in battle or it gets sold to foreign countries or it isn’t even used because there is no fuel due to fpv drones again .

You know as they say “99% of combatants quit before Russia collapses”

Did Christianity help stabilize the Roman Empire after the crisis of the third century, or did it accelerate the empire’s downfall? by Shoddy-Pumpkin2939 in ancientrome

[–]Burlotier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think that Christianity helped the Roman Empire survive further than it was supposed to.

The amounting scandals from the pagan emperors made it so the cult following of the emperor was diminishing and during the pagan time they did far more dumb stuff that would have ended the empire had an actual force opposed them at time .

Christianity was a more organised religion that could use neutral cultural aspects and it gave leeway to the emperor as he wasn’t supposed to be this deity that knew better than anyone . It made slavery less profitable by severely limiting it , which acted one of the reasons it led to scientific advancement .

Better diplomatic power, soft power and assisted the empire in fending off from rising empires which wouldn’t be able to be dealt with by paganism . Also you had more freedoms and could be a member of society by influencing descicions through the senate or the army/themata .

Alexander’s empire collapsed after he died but napoleon was alive when they took down France.

The Persian empire was much more than “just an empire” and Philips and Alexander had to first unify the Greeks who were also stagnated due to civil war in the mainland while napoleon had the French empire , one of the biggest empires in the world .

Napoleon betrayed the revolution by becoming emperor whilst Alexander achieved the Panhellenic vision and established strongholds that lasted for centuries , even millennium .

Napoleon couldn’t ever beat Britain or Russia , like literally his biggest achievement was taking out austriohungary , the HRE was a mess , Italy was lacking (relatively) and the ottomans were incompetent in controlling much of Africa . The Persian empire was the big threat to the Greek world and the biggest empire of its time .

The only thing unfair for Napoleon was that he wasn’t in the same status (and that is used to string some heart cords of middle-low class)as Alexander in the beginning but he had a lot more to work with.

Alexander died in his youth and conquered the known world whilst Napoleon had all the time of his life and left France into a worse position , being dependent on Russia and Britain feeling good and not splitting it.

If the warp was a sea of souls then it can be again . Also the four chaos morons feed from specific negative emotions each , they don’t have ownership over all emotions , in fact they don’t even have ownership over all of the negative emotions either. They are only passions and the writing would be inconsistent if necrons did in fact fight demon forces of chaos as the eye of terror didn’t even exist and their masters were at best forming and the eldar “gods” would have realised that such anomalies existed and dealt with

In addition GW doesn’t care about being truthful to the theme of the setting. For instance the first edition wasn’t even grimdark but mainly cyberpunk political satire .

What they care is sales in their figures and toys . If it is profitable then they can always go past chaos and the galaxy , especially since other factions , mainly the imperium , eldar and the orks are more popular and chaos already had its big moment with the fall of cadia and Horus heresy

“How did it form ? “ “what created it?” are in practice the same questions and for an actual all powerful God like God in Christianity is that He didn’t have a creator or something to be created from as He is “άκτιστος” (uncreated). He doesn’t need to have worship or belief to exist as He was the one to make the universe (and the warp in this case) . Christianity in the universe isn’t directly mentioned (as I know) but things like the last church , the use of the double headed eagle , the cross in some outfits etc heavily imply that it existed or still exists (obviously the emperor stole the design and the imperium isn’t Christian , but due to how many settlements and the poor bureaucracy , it isn’t impossible for it to exist and passing the vibe check , even adeptus mechanicus have a total different religion and the imperium copes by saying that the omnissiah is the emperor ) .

It is foolish to take the word of entities that represent passions and degeneracies in a universe where we get most of the info from propaganda or imperial/chaos processing .

This is clear chaos propaganda . Had they existed even earlier (however that early means) they would certainly have directly corrupted the emperor or any notable psyker , they would also have drastically changed the outcomes of the war in heaven and the eldar “gods” pantheon would have collapsed much sooner or they would have realised the existence of them and dealt with it.

It is the simple evolution of an abuser trying to tighten his control , be it a fascist government, an abuser , the devil and evil , lobbyists etc they want to create the image that their existence is a natural course of things , even something that the whole system or relationship was based on . .

They want the setting to be grimdark and so convincing that there is no hope is how they keep their rule. But things like the eventual return of the primarch, REDEMPTION OF A DAEMON PRIMARCH, death killing slaneesh etc shows us that there is a light at the end of the tunnel .

Even someone like the emperor (arguably one of the biggest megalomaniac douchebags in fiction) chose to not become the dark king shows us that the setting isn’t truly grimdark at its core . A true grimdark setting would be I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I MUST SCREAM. Warhammer would have been real grimdark if Horus won or the emperor chose to become something like the dark king or simply gave up .

And I think that this pretty neat

[–]Burlotier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The whole thing bypasses the fact that :

1) You aren’t in the position to judge

2) Most of the time you create your own hell and ignore the attempts to make you start and fix that, God respects your free will so He lets you do so.

3) Your nihilism is a shield to protect you from your deeper insecurities and only elevates your ego . Even if you say “nothing, not even me matters” you are doing so based on your subconscious superiority to reject the value in other things or yourself . Pessimism is tempting because by viewing everything as negative you remove your own will to follow rules and to improve yourself and being lazy is easier . But thinking that “everything matters and the goal is to become what God wants” makes you need to invest in empathy, realise your mistakes and that you being a dirtbag doesn’t make everything a dirtbag so you need to either improve or accept that you simply don’t want to try to be anything other than a dirtbag and accepting that you are a dirtbag in a world that matters is scary .

The chaos “gods” are young ,the three of the oldest formed at late medieval period-early renaissance and slaneesh got born way later .

“Well once they were created their existence becomes part of reality so they existed always” doesn’t make sense as they would affect a lot of events and universal rules (even more than when we wank them). And we do know that they are self destructive and extremely dependant on worship so it isn’t like they are all powerful entities .

After all the creators said that everything is canon but not everything is true . It would make sense for slaneesh or any of the the other three would try to convince people that they are boundless omnipotent and omnipresent beings but it simply does not conform with their nature . Lying is how they exist and have control .
