enforcement of artificial borders is a diagnostic feature of colonization in antiquity & modernity, even if ancient Egyptians didn't recognize it as such, earliest known settlement of Gaza was an Egyptian military fortress at Tell es-Sakan, a clear effort to extend territorial control into Canaan

Jordan @diesellawndragon.bsky.social · 19h

like ancient Egyptians very obviously fought wars over territory with the Hittites & Libyans most notably, & Southern Levant was colonized for the purpose of facilitating resource extraction like copper, timber & turquoise from the Levant & importing lapis lazuli from Afghanistan

you're doing two things, conflating country and nation, and interpreting the fact that ancient egyptian borders were notoriously fluid and different administration's willingness to enforce and defend them often varied from dynasty to dynasty with this idea of yours

why do you believe that Jews are foreigners?

Jordan @diesellawndragon.bsky.social · 19h

multiple times in this thread you've misinterpreted people calling you out for doing race science as somehow doing it themselves so I think you're just very dumb

guy talking about "racial clusters": "everyone is a nazi but me"

Jordan @diesellawndragon.bsky.social · 19h

you can't be talking about racial clusters and then pat yourself on the back

Jews are not in fact foreigners in Europe, the concept of a European identity did not even exist until the romantic nationalists latched onto Charlemagne

The Nazis persecuted Jews on account of the fact that they were foreigners, just as the persecuted Roma people for the same reason (similar to Jews to originate from the Levant, Roma people originate from north India and Pakistan). Denial of that fact is denial of the Holocaust.

Celtic & Germanic cultures were linked more by linguistic, religious & political similarities more than perceived ethnic ones & diffusion between Celtic & Germanic material culture was incredibly pronounced to such a degree sharp distinctions between the two are too reductive to be useful

guy talking like the fake genetics they use in bullshit 23andMe results: "actually everyone else is doing race science"

this sentiment really is just the stab in the back myth for liberals

I love how the message of The Good Place was "It is impossible to be a good person under Capitalism and also impossible to ameliorate its influence while you are living. Your sins can only be purged in the afterlife!"

you don't actually care about disabled people, you just wanna jack off to AI porn without getting made fun of

Jordan @diesellawndragon.bsky.social · 1d

all Gen AI must be eradicated

Jordan @diesellawndragon.bsky.social · 1d

subjecting disabled people to AI slop because you're too lazy or too indifferent to take 30 second out of your day to write a description yourself is infinitely more ableist than hating AI and also you're dumb and a fascist

if you enjoy lighting rainforrests on fire just to get your treats you can just not be a coward about it and say so, you don't have to make up shit
