OPAONI posted:It's.... literally their descendants. do you...do you know what they were called, and what their 'territory' looked like? Because if 'they're the descendants of Kievan Rus' is your big historical trump card it, uh, it proves the other guy's side actually. Also why does the timeline stop at 1108, did something...maybe happen to the region around then?

The push to deny Russia agency and blame absolutely everything on the US is weird. The US does enough lovely things, we don't need to make poo poo up too.

Like everyone considers Kieran Rus to just be Russia before Moscow took over during the mongol takeover. Ukrainian as a identity is modern. Now does that really matter? Not really, but nationalist get weird if you acknowledge a lot of groups don’t have an unbroken line and probably involve a lot of change

Her claiming all Roman coins we find are actually circus tokens (because you see the circuses were themed after Rome...which didn't exist...yet had a cohesive 'theme' that lasted for ages and across europe) was probably my favorite thing I've seen a dumbass claim.

Skwirl posted:There were massive cities in the Americas around 1000 AD, it's just then the Europeans showed up later and killed everyone and destroyed most of them. To be unnecessarily fair to the colonizers, I think the massive great lakes civilizations collapsed without most of their population ever seeing a european. Smallpox was a hell of a thing, and germ theory didnt exist.

Smallpox was a hell of a thing, and germ theory didnt exist. It's one of those things where, like, even if everyone had been interacting with the best of intentions and nonviolence there was going to be huge population losses, but if people had been better people there'd be at least more culture preserved.

I was at a punk/experimental music fest in Louisville. This one act was just a guy loving around with reverb tunelessly. I looked over and there was this audience member who was standing there, arms crossed, making that nose wrinkle "gently caress this is good poo poo" face, and bobbing his head as if to a beat. I've been thinking about that guy for years.

PetraCore posted:The Incan Empire was already devastated and collapsing from the pandemics before Europeans got anywhere near their capital city. Unfortunately, it's also pretty well documented how much slavery and deliberate genocide was happening in the areas with more direct contact, so it's not exactly a matter of fairness, just a matter of disease travelling a hell of a lot faster than people through unfamiliar landscapes. Yeah the combination of plagues that outpaced Europeans had a death rate over 90 percent, which meant when Europeans did show up they saw the post apocalyptic mad max version of the previous societies.

I've been thinking about that guy for years. there was a guy at an iron maiden concert years ago who, before anyone even took the stage, would just randomly bow his head and throw up horns and just hold his arm there for like half a minute. all by himself, just striking a pose. music (or in my guys case, ambient energy?)is all about what moves you I guess!
