Right-Wing Discussion Thread VIII: McCarthy Was Right

[The East Marches II]

>Justinian

You mean the fuckup who hamstrung the last true Roman, Belisarius

You mean the guy who fought wars that Rome couldn't pay for? :^)

>Runs because riots
>Chained to his wife who constantly worked behind his back

Of course, the guy who captures Rome with a handful of men and then defends it against overwhelming odds is the bad guy here. He should just killed Justinian and ran the show himself given what a total incompetent the Emperor was. In true Byzantine form, they abuse their best men and let chronic mismanagement fuck everything up.

This outdated fucking history. Read a recent history of the fall of the Roman Empire; the cause of the fall of the Roman Empire was that the Roman Empire peaked, it didn't decline. It peaked, and everyone else in the region kept getting stronger.

Whatever your revisionist ass want.

>actually thinking Gibbon's history is correct
Even though it contradicts just about everything we know about the late Roman Empire. Eisern Ara is actually pretty good about late Roman history. For one thing, the Foederati were actually more loyal than the regular Roman troops (i.e. they only rebelled when the latter went on a pogrom against their families).

Belisarius was a literal cuck who wasted all the gains he made thanks to his genius military abilities with his shitty political ones. Had he hadn't had such a stick in the ass, he could have made all these reconquests stay in bizantines hands.

>Hamstrung by a cuck

I see you've been reading your Procopius

Well, the first picture is actually a representation of the 1848's Révolution so a more accurate portrait for the RWDT would be this one.

Tbh, even as the residential 4Chan lingo expert, I am not sure if it counts as cuckholdry if the wife is raping the person cucking you. It's really complicated. I will have to think on this.

Is that the one from Les Miserable that failed? Or was it the one that succeeded?

Thanks for correcting me, it's far better for us to be represented as the fuckups that we are, rather than as one of the Great Men of history.

Hé, Procope de Césarée is fun to read, especially if you like anecdotes. He ain't Suétone nor Tacite tier but he still manages to make what he tell interesting.

Belisarius' second wife raped Belisarius son (with his first wife), who tried to escape, with his father's help, but he was kidnapped by her friends and basically kept as a sex slave.

This is a very good post and point.

I will abide by the court's decision on this case

No, the event from les Misérables you're thinking of is actually the "Trois Glorieuses" of the Révolution de Juillet which was a popular uprising in 1830 that ended the Bourbon reign and put the Orléans to the throne.

That's...horrifying.

Actually, I was thinking of the June Rebellion where the rebels failed.

I mean, they technically didn't fail. They just got co-opted.

Well, I mean, it's probably just bullshit Procopius made up, along with the entirety of the Secret History, but it's possible.

Napoléon III was a gud boi who did absolutely nothing wrong, it was his councilors and family who fucked everything up, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

The rebellion in Les Mis was not the July Revolution. Pretantia has it right, Les Mis depicts the June Rebellion, which was a failed revolt against the monarchy which had been set up by the July Revolution.

Hum. My bad. This is still wrong, tho, as the painting is representing the Révolution of 1848, anyway.

Honestly, I can't complain. I do like the logical conclusion Hoppe finds.
