I meant how muslims were here all along, this is not the makings of the progressive left illuminati who decided we need more brown in our collective gene-pool to create the perfect multi-cultural society.

People migrate for economic and political reasons, nobody was activelyscheming to alter the average hue of the population. That's a narrative that the right and left imposed later.

If this is the Trump thread then suffice to say that anti-immigrant sentiment is on the rise at the moment, and Trump and others are capitalizing on that.

People were hurling diseased/dead bodies over walls with siege equipment ever since like before the Roman Republic there guy.

They didn't know how germs worked exactly but they knew diseases spread.

They didn't because smallpox doesn't really even spread via blanket.

Furthermore, I think when people say "the whites gave smallpox blankets to spread smallpox" it sounds like some massive conspiracy / planned attack when all it really was 2 dudes corresponding about the idea as far as I can tell.

Also I had to lol out loud today when the Mongols were being excused of genocide, when I remembered their philosophy was "Either youre Mongol, you serve us, or you are vermin to be eradicated"

The wanted to wipe out all non-Mongols so their horses had more grazing lands. It was like genocide writ large

Wow, this is interesting. Apparently one of the biggest proponents of the smallpox narrative is (ex-Professor) Ward Churchhill, whose work on the issue was found to be completely fabricated. The 1 incident covered about the one captain giving the blankets is considered legitimate, but "There is evidence that the Captain at Fort Pitt (outside Pittsburgh, PA -- then the western frontier) did give two infected blankets and one infected handkerchief to Indians in June of 1763. This action happened before Amherst mentioned the idea in his correspondence." So it happened, but before anyone had corresponded about it.

Ward Churchhill is also infamous for calling the victims of 9/11 Nazis that deserved it. I remember that happening. He's pretty out there

Thank you for the book recommendations! I actually already have copies of both SPQR and Empire of the Summer Moon, but I haven't read either yet. (Both were unprompted gifts from my father, but now strangers have recommended them! Haha.) I'm pretty well-versed in Roman history, but it's been long enough that I'm due for a refresher. I'm much less familiar with the Comanche (the American West isn't terribly interesting to me) but I will give it a whirl, and fully expect to kick myself for dawdling in the first place.

It's metaphorical. The "Piss Tape" is meant to be the big scandal that impeaches Trump, Makes his supporters look stupid and dumb to their own eyes, and supplies everyone else with neverending lols.

There's also a video of a hooker pissing on him but nobody cares about that.

I'm not even classified as white and even I think the backlash against the double standards of the media in their racism is fully justified.

America's problems would still exist even if it wasn't multicultural. Media is used to drive wedges in the population so the infighting prevents legitimate opposition to the elite.

Everyone is so fixed on social issues while your economic freedom, arguably the only thing that is able to actually free you in a capitalist system, is slowly eroded. Rich people can do whatever the gently caress they want, economic freedom gets you social freedom.

Racism, religion and issues regarding sexuality are inherently present in the entirety of human history and will never truly be eliminated. Thats why its a loving perfect tool used to divide you. People are waking up to this bullshit around the world but the unfortunate go-to solution up until now for unity has been fascism. Interesting times are ahead as current events will determine if you can achieve national unity without it for the first time.

just like every run-off election so far under the trump presidency, they are all potential game changers against trump if republicans lose, real true repudiations against his agenda. but when they lose hilariously it's meaningless lmao
