History Is For Suckers.

 (November 14, 2019 at 9:22 pm)redpill Wrote: Napoleon once said, "History is a set of lies agreed upon." Tolstoy once said, "History would be a wonderful thing. If it were only true." Most often, what is history depends on the outcome of some conflict. As one truism says, "History is written by the victors." And when it comes to war, another truism says, "In war, truth is the first casualty." For the winning side, it remains a casualty. Also, no doubt, demonizing the enemy is a tactic as old as the hills. Another thing is that it is well known that one country's villain is another countries hero. Do you have any better reasons for despising history, other than a list of quotes? Boru

Historical quotes, even. Like...do we really even know that those people said that...maaaaaan? What if the lizard people are sending that false impression into our heads over the 5G's?
Wake up sheeple! We're being farmed for our bodily emissions, those sewers don't go to treatment plants, they go to an interstellar bottling company. The government is covering it up in exchange for alien cupcake baking technology.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Famous (historical) people saying it isn't relevant to whether or not it's true.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

But lucky for the rest of us. Before I started school, I honestly thought Churchill's first name was 'Thatbastard', based on the way my grandad talked about him. Boru

It is Sir Thatabastard, knight of Garter, order of merit, champion of honor, privy council, fellow of royal society, member of royal academy, in decreasing order of deservedness.
If it weren’t for history there would only be the present and that would mean I would have never gotten laid so fuck this thread. I mean put a vagina on the thread so I can fuck it, please. Goddamn I’m hard as a rock!
