And yes we need to look inside atm
As far as colonialism etc. is concerned I don't like mistreating subjects and whatnot
There's a respectable way to go about things
is war mistreatment?
Depends on how it is waged
Involving civillians isn't ok
what if you just fight the fighters and give ppl a chance to leave to some third country
I support giving them a chance to vacate places when feasable but of course that rarely will result in all leaving
Looking more at it actually seems like one of the generals in Namibia was genocidal and there was killing of unarmed people
german general?
Yeah Lothar von Trotha
Had the army occupy water places
that was my starting assumption, i dont think my father would have made a big deal out of it if it was just combatants
Then as the Herero were starved and dehydrated he killed them many of them being unarmed or women/children
I was thinking it's a bit messy because the actually armed people were taking their whole families with them
if you actually take them close to the battlefield then dont be surprised about what happens
It used to be standard practice during more primitive times actually
People would always take their families and whatnot on campaign
I think Alexander the great was actually the one who ended that which allowed him to sweep through Persia much more easily
conquering vast swaths of land seems kinda pointless, you can never occupy it for more than a few years because that takes way too many men
The empire broke up because of Antipater though
Killed Alexander's son so the empire ended up split amongst the Diadochi
Which lead to hellenism spreading to India and whatnot
i only read alexanders wikipedia article on a train ride so im not too familiar
the whole expansion into india went pretty poorly didnt it
Basically Alexander just took over the preexisting Persian satrapy system
The expansion into India didn't happen at all
Soldiers mutinied
But under the Seleucids they tried I think
Ended up in some sor tof settlement
well "Feldzug", i couldnt think of a proper translation
Much later there were Indo-Greek kingdoms
The campaign ended before the Indus river
Alexander wanted to go further but his soldiers refused basically
Is race a factor to this? Should we support free lunches for people who can't afford? Note that the person who made the video is a leftist remainer who used to be more left wing centrist and I don't even know his other views on immigration anymore. That said, the majority of his followers in the comments are far leftist remainers who don't wish to blame changing demographics.
