>justinian the hack
>two literally who cares for 9th and 10th

"I love brutal oppression and genocide" - You

probably doesn't realize that things exist outside the borders of Europe

>liking Wilhelm "just fuck my empire up" II
>being irish
??

read more history you genocide loving faggot

no opinion

what're you doing up so early in bongland

at night you have wetdreams about living during the reign of the five good emperors and wake up sobbing uncontrollably because you never will

>obama
>using hitler as a favorite figure because he's historically important
no thanks my friend the only way you can redeem yourself is to name your favorite lord byron poem and tell me why you like it so I know you aren't some hipster poser that spews the mad bad and dangerous to know meme

>justinian the hack
>shaka "i'm going to gut my country because mommy died" zulu
>nietzche
underage

>winston "muh gallipoli campaign will work i promise" churchill
>winston "better give away india" churchill
>winston "haha im so witty let me roast this stupid whore" churchill

not too bad otherwise

probably a self-hating turk roach

>your favorite historical figures are idiots?

Yes. I don't equate favorite to who I idolize. My top ten historical figures I idolize is radically different than my favorite. My favorite consists of people who I found really interesting to learn about.

>Pizarro
>Cortés
>genocide

nice leyenda negra, m8

why don't you step a foot in México or Perú and tell me they actually genocided the natives?

please educate us, wise one, on what the objective top 10 historical figures are
Alternatively, you could go back to /b/. Shit flinging is much better suited for that board.

>the mad bad and dangerous to know meme
lol
I mean its impossible not to appreciate Don Juan so i guess that would be my favorite
But the reason i placed him there is because i think he was generally ahead of his time. Maybe not strictly in terms of what he wrote, but rather in his attitude towards his own position in society.
>not liking Obama as an interesting president regardless of how you view his healtchare/environmental legacy
you have to go back
>using hitler as a favorite figure because he's historically important
are you asserting that Hitler was not important or that historical significance is not a good reason? Either way you're acting like a petulant child

Gabriele D'Annunzio
Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera
Ramiro Ledesma Ramos
The Gracchus brothers
Caesar
Guillaume Apollinaire
Hermes Trismegistus
Charles Peguy
Plato
Benito Mussolini

Explain this to me Veeky Forums: How come every time there is "name favorite X" thread, almost everybody has a world-famous X? Does none of you really take interest in your national history? I mean, half of my list would be people nobody on this board ever heard about. Is this because most people in here are murricunts?

Well, I'm a merican and I don't have a merican on my list because I tried to study american history but its far too boring compared to ancient or eastern history.

You like to get dicked by foreign investors, especially American.

probably because most people are smart enough to view past events in an objective sense and not favor a figure for something as stupid as being the same nationality.

So objectively saying, you don't give a fuck about your mom, but you love Trum/Hillary, yes?
Having someone favorite is not at all related to how much important do you think they were. In this case its a simple matter of knowing a lot about national historical figures since i was taught about them since childhood.

>having someone favorite is not at all related to how much important do you think they were
right, but your reasoning is that because you share a nationality that this means you have some sort of connection to them and that is the reason behind your favoritism
its /pol/ tier thinking.
>hurr durr im X and this guy was also X so i like him

How is that different from having people who are important in the subjects that interest you as your favorite historical figures? That's totally subjective, it comes from the person itself, not any objective measure.

Niccolo Machiavelli
William Gladstone
Alexis de Tocqueville
Ernst Jünger
Ingmar Bergman
Marcus Aurelius
Axel Oxenstierna
Harry Flashman
Otto von Bismarck
Cecil Rhodes

R8

im just saying that claiming because your favorites are all from your own national history and then lording that over people as though its a superior way to go about ranking historical figures is asinine.

go ahead, surprise me.
