xtal posted:Wrong thread? God, fine, I'll Guy Goodbody this one: The chess player on the left is wearing the Argentinian national soccer team jersey. His beard also makes him look vaguely like Argentina's most famous player, Lionel Messi (who wears the same #10 jersey):  His opponent is wearing the Spanish jersey of a player whose name begins with the letter R. His short haircut makes him look a tiny bit like Spain's most famous player, Cristiano Ronaldo:  Whether Messi or Ronaldo is better a longstanding argument among soccer fans. Their cosplayer-lookalikes playing a chess match is therefore The World Cup is underway. It is expected that Spain or Argentina will advance deep enough into the cup to possibly play Brazil, a pick for the final every cup. The spectator in the yellow jersey is wearing Brazil's national jersey. That too is There. I don't think anyone's better off with this explanation, least of all me.

That Ancient Alien theories don't spend as much time on making up bullshit explanations for the Anglo-Saxons and other north Europeans as they do for every other culture and society throughout history?

Of course, the more apt criticism is that ancient aliens is loving dumb as gently caress regardless.

I know, but no one has pointed me to anything that would make me think it was being disproportionately applied to people of colour in this case. The definition of "White" being used in this conversation doesn't even include Irish so I'm not really sure how any show could be expected to give equal time or treatment to the tiny remaining group that make the cut.

I can't believe I'm publicly defending ancient alien conspiracies but you can definitely figure some Norse and Celtic poo poo into there, Odin/loki fits into all the archetypes. the Vikings just didn't build cool poo poo, so there are no buildings to explain. Stonehenge is also big time conspiracy fodder. No war but the class war
