In one quote, what did you learn from history?

Nothing

Never trust a history book

"Pretty shitty idea in hindsight"

This agglomeration which was called the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.

What to trust then...

Never trust eunuchs, unless they're explorers

No wonder why we keep making the same mistakes over and over

"History may not repeat, but it sure does rhyme"

history is written by the victors

IT'S HAPPENING!

We're assholes

rrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeee

Everyone's a faggot

Two things really.
1. Humans are often rash and irresponsible actors, and when someone comes along that isn't like that, history tends to give him justice.
2. History education is extremely important and shouldn't be sidelined for the meme that is "STEM".

everything there is to know

All that matters is how much power you have in your lifetime because no matter how bad you are people will either forget you existed or try and justify your causes.

Common sense is not very common at all.

Those attempts to change things for the better too quickly and too radically often result in the reverse.

youre a loser

You can completely make up a historical narrative just from rumours without having any evidence to back it up as long as you control media and education.

Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

Everyone has an agenda. Learn their context and take everything with a grain-pound of salt.

That nothing really matters, least of all the truth.

>Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin

Only a tiny minority try to justify them.

Why must something be trusted, especially when we've discovered that nothing can be

Life's a piece of shit, when you look at it.

What did Python mean by this?

Nationalism beyond a certain limit is really dump.
Turks Serbs and Russians got more similarities than they want to imagine.
The HRE was both holy, Roman and an empire.

You're absolutely right, in this one particular point of time 70 or so years after they've died they are vilified. Is it possible that 500 years from now the opinion will be the same? How about 1000 years from now? I don't have foresight, but I have seen historians drastically change their opinions on certain historical characters.

Take Nero, Julian the Apostate, Genghis Khan, or Napoleon for example.

The strong do what they will and the weak suffer what they must

"People don't think it be like this, but it do."

Never marry, men are not to be trusted, they will always think less of you; buy a dildo and a cat and move to the forest and live alone ever after

History is the amalgamation of generations of fuck ups fucking up in a fucked up fashion.

What is a man? A miserable pile of BUUUUUUUULL SHIT! That's what it is. You fucking douche.

Memes are a lie.

we did it reddit

it repeats

things change but nothing changes

>laughing at someone for making a technical mistake on a Siberian plane debris scavenger forum

People never change, but everything else does.

"And then, it got worse."

Fuck this gay earth.

Never trust a Sicilian when death is on the line.

"And then it got worse"

People need a reason to fight

Dont pre-steal my line you slut

We never learn

the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

history cannot be summed up by quotes

Successful ancient nations fucked boys.

"WHAT I LEARNED IN BOATING SCHOOL IS! BLANKITY, BLANKITY, BLANK!"

history is written by the victor

Not all change is an improvement.

>the only thing that matters is being remembered

"I came" - Augustus Caesar

Change =! Improvement

Fuck the jews.

People are always pissed.

War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!

History is the passage of time represented by a mountain of dead people.

"If there is anything we can learn from history, it's that nobody learns from history"

>If you control the present you control the past; if you control the past you control the future. (Paraphrasing Orwell)

What REALLY HAPPENED is not important. The only thing that matters is who gets to define, select and interpret the facts. You see the liberal academic elites vilifying Hitler and with the same breath praise Lenin. This shows that truth, morality, death count none of this matters. Only the will of the globalist elite and their academic mouthpieces.

K. Pilkington

"Sometimes no one shows up and you automatically win"
-Janoy Cresva

but what about the ones who vilify both?

Say it again!

Chaos is a ladder.

>academic elites praising Lenin
Do you go to university in Belarus or something?

Kek'ed

Death's a laugh and life's a joke, it's true.

A picture might speak a thousand words.

But a concept speaks a thousand pictures?

poor man.poor mankind.

Everyone is inherently autistic.

Every relationship is coercion.

Womens rights were a mistake.

I am right.

Like, say, this faggot who thinks Seminaris was the wife of Nimrod, King of Babylon.

>implying memes aren't the only reality

Only one of those remotely comparable to Hitler or Stalin is Ghenghis and that guy isn't all that well liked outside of a small number of revisionists.

Everything is a social construct.

bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks

There are no facts, only interpretations. Take that as you will

Doctor Pavel... I'm CIA.

The events of history and the cycles are like a pendulum. We're just swinging back and forth.

'We learn from history that we do not learn from history.'

Is Hegel the greatest ruseman of history?

"We was kings and shit"-Alberto Barbosa

perhaps

Those who watch the History channel are eager to repeat it

Nothing is general, everything is specific.

Cattle die,
kinsmen die
you yourself die;
I know one thing
which never dies:
the judgment of a dead man's life
