if you actually take them close to the battlefield then dont be surprised about what happens

2020-02-11 17:21:42 UTC  

It used to be standard practice during more primitive times actually

2020-02-11 17:21:59 UTC  

People would always take their families and whatnot on campaign

2020-02-11 17:22:31 UTC  

I think Alexander the great was actually the one who ended that which allowed him to sweep through Persia much more easily

2020-02-11 17:24:14 UTC  

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

2020-02-11 17:24:43 UTC  

They could by using locals

2020-02-11 17:24:54 UTC  

The empire broke up because of Antipater though

2020-02-11 17:25:16 UTC  

Killed Alexander's son so the empire ended up split amongst the Diadochi

2020-02-11 17:25:32 UTC  

Which lead to hellenism spreading to India and whatnot

2020-02-11 17:27:36 UTC  

i only read alexanders wikipedia article on a train ride so im not too familiar

2020-02-11 17:28:20 UTC  

the whole expansion into india went pretty poorly didnt it

2020-02-11 17:28:23 UTC  

Basically Alexander just took over the preexisting Persian satrapy system

2020-02-11 17:28:39 UTC  

The expansion into India didn't happen at all

2020-02-11 17:28:45 UTC  

Soldiers mutinied

2020-02-11 17:29:04 UTC  

But under the Seleucids they tried I think

2020-02-11 17:29:11 UTC  

Ended up in some sor tof settlement

2020-02-11 17:29:15 UTC  

well "Feldzug", i couldnt think of a proper translation

2020-02-11 17:29:22 UTC  

Much later there were Indo-Greek kingdoms

2020-02-11 17:29:46 UTC  

The campaign ended before the Indus river

2020-02-11 17:30:04 UTC  

Alexander wanted to go further but his soldiers refused basically

2020-02-12 20:02:24 UTC  

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.

I subscribed to him back in 2016 when I was a right wing libertarian but he occasionally blamed capitalism on the issues with workers rights. Looking back at those comments, he was on to something but the conclusions still missed a few factors.

2020-02-12 20:34:26 UTC  

interesting.

2020-02-13 00:40:27 UTC  

This is disgusting

2020-02-13 05:30:39 UTC  

We wuz vikings and shiiieett

2020-02-14 14:54:17 UTC  

latest BPS video is really weak, he seems slow at times, makes a onedimensional argument and shills for raid shadow legends

2020-02-14 14:56:28 UTC  

I didn’t watch it yet

2020-02-14 14:57:20 UTC  

But that seems to be his issue at times where the videos are sometimes longer than his necessary arguments and gets repetitive

2020-02-14 16:08:24 UTC  

its not like he couldnt expand it with valuable arguments and facts, I could have
