Humans are definitely bilaterally symmetrical. Symmetry doesn’t have to be a perfect mirror image in biology.
We were co-mods on /r/socialism long before /r/cth rose to prominence. In that realm of interaction, he was super nice. Good mod.
Foolishly, I did not appreciate his videos when he started making them, because I was still anti-China. You don’t know what you got till it’s gone.
This isn’t your fucking instance either
You are incapable of providing an explanation because liberalism is an incoherent and contradictory belief system. If you were remotely serious you’d take one minute to clarify what you were trying to say (as I have repeatedly asked), but as a white supremacist liberal you are inherently unserious. When pressed to justify a single belief or statement, you have nothing but “you are too stupid to understand” - exactly the typical smug liberal mindset. You cannot elaborate because there is nothing for you to elaborate on.
Literally in what comment? The one where you said this statement obviously won’t achieve anything or the one where you said expecting more than that means I won’t get anything? Like, you already acknowledged we won’t get anything here, but somehow that’s my fault for saying that’s bad?
Ok, then use your huge brain and actually explain to me why you think I’m wrong.
“if you expect anything good to ever happen you are brainwashed”
If the only thing you demand is empty platitudes, you can expect a lot of those and not much else.
But even just saying it is a step in the right direction.
We need to have much, much higher standards for our politicians than this.
what’s really crazy is thinking this anything other than absolute fluff that will never even be gestured at if they win
Why not try something new and try dissolving the state and self organizing into communes that best reflect our beliefs and values?
Go ahead. If that works, I’d be delighted. Seems that all it ever ends up producing is a 15 person sex commune. When self-organizing commune lift a billion people from poverty and outmaneuver the US empire, I’ll become an anarchist.
His daughter is a Netflix producer or something
That makes a lot of sense! Agreed that that’s more likely. Though those settlements would’ve been pretty transient and/or small since we have nothing in the archaeological record. And no pigs.
It seems likely that the Polynesian word(s) for sweet potato is a direct borrowing from Quecha. Beyond that I don’t think there’s accepted evidence for vocabulary exchange.
It was a similar distance from there to the nearest Polynesian island, and we know they maintained contact and trade that direction. South America would’ve offered entirely unique trade goods, so I don’t think it’s out of the question at all. These were history’s greatest sailors and navigators, after all.
Certainly 10% DNA admixture requires more than just a few small interactions.
This aligns with the idea that Rapa Nui was the stepping stone via which Polynesians and Native Americans made contact, traded crops, and had kids together. I wonder if there was ever a minority NA population on the island alongside Polynesians or if it was just occasional mixed kids raised fully Polynesian.
