american history doesn't interest me very much for some reason, except for andrew jackson's bank war |

Date: September 22nd, 2024 10:17 AM Author: MASE It’s the first account of the Civil War I’ve read that doesn’t portray the South as evil. Just matter of factly states the motivations and events affecting both sides. And amazing story telling on top of that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5599608&forum_id=2#48119411) |

Date: September 22nd, 2024 11:25 AM Author: Otto Skorzeny (FAGGOTCHIPPER / Hegemon) I'm about a third of the way through my second reading of his History Of The Peloponnesian War; it is, as you may have surmised, a history of the Peloponnesian war.
Iliad, of course. I have never read any Horace though, going to add him to my deployment book list. |

Date: September 22nd, 2024 11:26 AM Author: lex the term tends to refer to thinkers/ideas that base their understanding of politics on the fundamental nature of brutal force -- the strong do what they want, the weak suffer what they must. any other explanations, per realpolitik thinkers, is naive or otherwise fundamentally mistaken. machiavelli, hobbes, and thucydides tend to be the big exemplary figures. normal politics, again per this view, aren't real because normies think that laws and morality matter. idiots. |

Date: September 22nd, 2024 11:30 AM Author: cock of michael obama what appeals to you about Thucydides?
i have infinite jest on my reading list for the future, i think its really long though |
|
Date: September 22nd, 2024 11:34 AM Author: lex sorry for jumping in, but for what it's worth, i think you'd get a lot out of thucydides. his accounts of historical facts are great, but the real takeaway from the work is the political theory that underlies how he explains events. the speeches especially are often rhetorical triumphs and offer a lot of fodder for thinking about politics more generally.

Date: September 22nd, 2024 11:41 AM Author: cock of michael obama I read Roman history via Sallust and thought he was excellent, but my concern in a lot of ancient Greek history is that there will be a lot of facts and dates and wars, without the fleshing out necessary to give meaning to it. That's my view of a lot of Greek history looking back on it. I might have a different take today. I'll add it to the list, thank (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5599608&forum_id=2#48119565) |

Date: September 22nd, 2024 11:43 AM Author: Otto Skorzeny (FAGGOTCHIPPER / Hegemon) Lmao Thucydides is the opposite of this, you'd like him if you like Sallust. Thucydides was his primary influence. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5599608&forum_id=2#48119574) |

Date: September 22nd, 2024 11:38 AM Author: Otto Skorzeny (FAGGOTCHIPPER / Hegemon) Well, I'm rereading it because I read most of the classics in HS/early college and I generally did not get as much out of them as I think I ought to have. I'm enjoying it so far because the writing is decent and I enjoy history. There are plenty of political theory takeaways from it, but I'm not quite enough of a theorycel for those to be the main draw (though they're a good subtext for the whole thing).
