he was right

get fucked glowie scum

>>17969437
Was he wrong, tho?

>>17969437
Winston Churchill - his works are still good to get an understanding of history.

>>17969472
Just out of curiosity, why exactly are you implying he was evil? Because he was racist, as was normal then?

>>17969493
Because Churchill is responsible for the fall of Europe.

>>17969566
Not sure if serious...he saved it from Hitler...

>>17969588
lmfao

>>17969493
churchill killed way more indians than hitler killed anyone
imperialist scum
british fascists at the time were very anti-imperialism

>>17969493
He WANTED WW2!

>>17969588
Churchill put Afrikaanse children in concentration camps, allied with the USSR in Europe and undermined Asia and the Middle-East through imperialism. All 3 continents still haven't recovered from this. Mosley was a lot better than Churchill. I'm a Turkish muslim, but you'll find little white christian right wingers on /lit/ or /pol/ who actually respect Churchill.

>>17969588
It's alright, we all have to start learning somewhere. Some pills are bigger than others.

His work is not quality except perhaps as sophistry. He constantly appropriated leftist rhetoric that he obviously didn't believe himself in order to criticize America. He seems to have thought, or at least pretended, that the American political system is a direct democracy, which he claimed justifies violence against civilians. The ISIS propagandists themselves seemed to have realized the two-faced and impractical nature of this rhetorical approach in the "Why We Hate You" article in Dabiq, where the author does away with all of Bin Laden's pretenses and candidly explains that jihadists hate Americans primarily because they're non-Muslims.

>>17969437
Does Bin Laden give any actual reasons for this?

>>17969799
Osama bin Laden's letter to America from the book "Messages to the World"

>The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam.

>We call you to be a people of manners, principles, honour, and purity; to reject the immoral acts of fornication, homosexuality, intoxicants, gambling, and trading with interest.

>You are the nation that permits Usury, which has been forbidden by all the religions. Yet you build your economy and investments on Usury. As a result of this, in all its different forms and guises, the Jews have taken control of your economy, through which they have then taken control of your media, and now control all aspects of your life making you their servants and achieving their aims at your expense

>You are a nation that permits acts of immorality, and you consider them to be pillars of personal freedom.

>You are a nation that permits gambling in its all forms. The companies practice this as well, resulting in the investments becoming active and the criminals becoming rich.

>You are a nation that exploits women like consumer products or advertising tools calling upon customers to purchase them. You use women to serve passengers, visitors, and strangers to increase your profit margins. You then rant that you support the liberation of women.

>You have destroyed nature with your industrial waste and gases more than any other nation in history. Despite this, you refuse to sign the Kyoto agreement so that you can secure the profit of your greedy companies and industries.

Kissinger, you have to read through certain lies but still instructive

Malory (rapist, murderer, brigand)
Chaucer (rapist)
Spenser (advocate of genocide)
Thomas Browne (responsible for the deaths of innocents)

Of course a muslim is anti-semitic lmao, what else could one expect

>>17969588
Lol

>>17969437
Foucault

>>17969965
You say that like it's a bad thing.

>>17969965
Lurk more newfag. Anyone on this board is anti-semitic.

>>17969965
Btw what was antisemitic about my reply? There's literally nothing that refers to Jews and Churchill isn't a Jew either.

>>17969965
rather a turk or muslim than someone like you desu...

>>17970065
No, Foucault was an absolute hack in every sense of the word. His history is garbage, his ideas are unoriginal, the only thing valid about him is his disdain for french obscurantism.

>>17970193
Stupid fucking kikes can't help but out theirselves when they feel threatened

>>17970065
Anyone else notice an uncanny resemblance or am I just fucked like that? It's NOT because of the shaved head I promise!

>>17969965
Historically speaking jews preferred to live among muslims rather than christians, even despite the jizya. I guess it's because islam and judaism are so much closer in practice than either is to christanity, both islam and judaism being legalistic semitic religions.

>>17971230
By legalistic you mean not anti-nomian?

>>17969493
He may have been racist, imperialist and a plethora of other worse things, but that quote is correct and not racist in the least. All forms of religious fundamentalism is a plague upon humanity.

oh, to have the innocence of youth again.

>>17969965
>mentions concentration camps
>colonialism
>imperialism
>somehow extrapolate that to anti-semitism because muh slim (literally semites themselves)
This has to be elaborate bait. You can't convince me otherwise.

>>17969437
You literally cannot have this opinion when you're supported by shariah law retards. Holy fuck. I wish you stupid ass backwards wahhabiast faggots would stop posting here. Just as bad as commie bitches. Kill yourself.

>>17969849
>BAWWWW MUH GAMBLING
>MUH PROMISCUITY
>MUH FREEDOMS BAD
>Meanwhile beheads people and locks people in cages

>>17969849
wtf based

>>17969493
ugly fat simp

>>17969754
>all islamic extremist groups are the same
lmfao. Al qaeda and ISIS are fundamentally different in the justification for their ideology and actions they take to further it. You seem to think there is an identical core between them and it is just expressed differently when that couldn't be further from the truth. Typical American simple minded understanding of this subject
>jihadists hate Americans primarily because they're non-Muslims
Really? And they hate muslims(99% of the people they kill) because....?

>>17969493
If it weren't for this fat fuck the good side would've won WW2.

>>17969437
I wouldn't necessarily call him EVIL, but more politically retarded, but pic related.

>>17972893
lmao, who the fuck here is pushing for sharia law? How did you extrapolate that from OP's post?

>>17969493
"I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory [tear] gas.

I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes. The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gasses: gasses can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected."

"I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."

"It is alarming and nauseating to see Mr Gandhi, a seditious Middle Temple lawyer, now posing as a fakir… striding half-naked up the steps of the Vice-regal Palace," Churchill said of his anti-colonialist adversary in 1931.

"Gandhi should not be released on the account of a mere threat of fasting," Churchill told the cabinet on another occasion. "We should be rid of a bad man and an enemy of the Empire if he died."
