Why would the winners of history not give those people a bloody past, paint them as savages to justify stealing the land that they belonged to.
    Yes, some cultures did/do indeed kill people who committed crimes that weren't tolerated by society... most of them are the richest countries in the world today. Wonder how they got that way.
    C'mon, really, that's your last bastion of argument? They indigenous got what they deserved? I think you'll find the vast majority of the claim of savagery more projected Fear Porn than the actual way of life you seem to be making out to be.

    Edity: and those countries are also among the greatest unsustainable nations in the world.
    How can land ever be stolen if your ultimate socialist utopia means everyone has access to everything and creates only to give to others?
    Doesn’t everything belong to Mother Nature?

    Savagery examples.... Brits vs Scots, all that Braveheart era stuff, white fill stabbing other white folk.
    The whole Greek/Persia thing like 300 movie we are Spartans ... lots of olive complexion people killing other olive complexion people...
    The Mongols (originals of Middle Ages not the MC) and their absolutely savage stomp across Central Asia is prob unmatched by anything else.
    Uk vs irish where white people happily letvother white people starve to death in the potato famine.
    Do I need to mention Pol pot, Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, Stalin...

    If anything the Colonisation of large parts of the world by Grest Britain probably ensured much stability to otherwise fragile nations. Just look at Hong Kong before they gave it back. There’s been large protests by the indigenous population saying their pretty sure they don’t want to go back to living under traditional Chinese rule...,

    This thread is "stupid world" and this is sure as Hell stupid.

    I'd laugh, but if this twat really believes this nonsense his family need to arrange professional help.

    Oh, but I can help him with why the evidence has vanished...





    Update. I've since seen a post that says this "statement" is not genuine. It's getting difficult to tell with a person elected to Congress explaining that the Californian forest fires were started by Jewish lasers from outer space and the then President stating that problem arose because the forest floors were not swept clean.

    Well you better not laugh, the very same Italian made CIA controlled satellites were used to generate votes for a bat to win NZ bird of the year in 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/59120252.

    Bingo. All versions of history written by the victors who get to describe who their opponents were and why they needed to be civilised a bit more under someone else's guidance. Maori, Aborigine, African, Indian, Incan, Irish, Scottish etc... were all traded with peacefully before something changed. Turns out some leaders were cunts and had forgotten that they belonged to the people and not the other way around... now the reversal is enshrined through the establishment hierarchy to keep people from questioning the foundations on which their sociwety is built... among other things.

    O Holy Crap
    ... "My local Montana landfill is full of the remains of short-lived coffee grinders, pens, peelers, laptops. After Christmas, I’ll need to reserve a bigger plot.".

    heh... gotta admit I had a mini moment yesterday lamenting the numerous little failures at a basic level. Our media player will no longer talk to the TV. It did so the day before before the girls took it for a movie night, but no longer. Tis stunning just how shit so much shit is today... alas, that's the need to keep yer customers coming back for more for ya.

    Well, there was the Aquaducts. . .

    I learned everything I needs to know about them from Astrix books.

    The clever buggers added ash to concrete greatly increasing it’s strength. And the built a pretty damn good road network.

    Me too. Like a modern day dragons den, they stole the best ideas from cultures and then filled the history books claiming that they made them. For example... the first I find particularly amusing for obvious reasons

    ... that was the Assyrians.

    ... and that was the Nabateans (hydraulic concrete no less)

    See, people can learn all sorts of stuff wrongly so long as they read one book before the other first

    Herman the German (Arminius to the Romans) knew how to handle the Romans.

    Back in the day the Romans would take prominent leaders or their sons to Rome. They'd show them the buildings, the political system, and let them see the army training.
    These people were then intended to go home and say there was no chance of beating the Romans, they were just too advanced.

    Herman was given the full treatment. Instead of going home with the intended pessimistic message, he went home with the answer. Fight them in the forests.

    MMA (Google it) has shown the fallacy of martial arts. Most only train and defeat attackers using the same principles.
