Why do cacs glorify Alexander the Great? He was a monster in real life

[Mike809]

Winners get to write history. You wouldn't hear from Alexander if he was just an average leader . Just like gengis khan , dude made a river over one of the towns he destroyed .

 

[CarbonBraddock]

Really?
Can you link a quote?
I think he was better then Julie's career.

he was only better bc caesar was balling so hard that the other dudes couldn't get no shine and killed him in jealousy. augustus learned from that shyt and held back and also couldn't have done half the shyt caesar accomplished anyway as he wasn't even on that level to begin with.

 

[Crayola Coyote]

Whatever .. they like killing

 

[CarbonBraddock]

Are there any African ghengis khan/alexander the great type figures in history?

no

 

[CarbonBraddock]

Plutarch mentions it I think. I learned about it in a history class that Augustus was compared to Alexander during his time but Augustus was apparently about it and said it's much harder to maintain an empire than it is to conquer them.

But yeah, IMO Augustus >>>>>> Julius Caesar too. Dude came out of nowhere on some "my uncle said I got next" using low key positions and titles he went through those muhfukkas like colonic.

augustus would be sucking dikk for money if it weren't for his uncle. can't believe dudes actually believing some scrub that lucked up is better than arguably the greatest general/statesman in all history. i mean, if we really want to take it there, genghis khan is probably the greatest ever of this type of person, but only a couple dudes in here even mentioned him. he completely shyts on everyone else talked about in here.

u sure about that? Isis is killing and pillaging as we speak. Korean War, Vietnam, all those african civil wars, Yugoslavia, etc....

and all contravene international humanity laws.

everyone looks up to the person that has power.

Shaka Zulu

Zulu warriors use to kill Europeans with spears when them mothafukkas had guns.

 

[Ol’Otis]

Shaka Zulu

The King of Kings

 

[AlainLocke]

All rulers were terrible people that killed people for whatever reason...

Majority of historical figures were enslavers, pillagers rapists and murderers...

They are celebrated because they won...not because they were "good" people ... or did "good" things..

Genghis was the real deal, his whole backstory is real shyt. He had to come back from dirt and getting kidnapped to reclaim his whole tribe back

He also didn't go into the Senate unarmed.

He ruled rome as its first emperor for years. Something ceaser could not do. You got to admire that.

 

[GhettoTeK]

Who else they're going to look to as their monster role models ?

A very savvy dude surrounded by trusted and competent folk. @CarbonBraddock got a point though him being tied to Julius Caesar was the cheat code.
