They are all gloating since 0-Saviour got back in. Juan Williams is so full of himself on Fox. I have to dive for the remote to mute him
Lots of gloom and doom from Rush and Sean. What is the over-under for when Rush retires to New Zealand as has mentioned? I think before this second Obama term is finished. Faith and family is the only way to rise above the 0bama captivity
Very perceptive!!!
It has largely to do with geography.
Jared Diamond wrote a book, Guns, Germs, and Steel, which pretty much explained why.
Africa and other places, like Central and South America, did not have land masses which stretched distances lattitudinally. It is possible to travel across Eurasia from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans, and he described how that was advantageous to cultural, agricultural, and scientific advances.
For example, the types of crops grown in the equatorial region of Africa will not thrive in the southern most tip of the African continent. The Dutch found that the food they grew in Holland did very well in that climate, which explains why no native agricultural tribes were established that far south.
For further information you should read his book. It was a very good read.
You keep all your smart modern writers
Give me William Shakespeare
You keep all your smart modern painters
I’ll take Rembrandt, Titian, Da Vinci and Gainsborough,
Girl we gotta get out of here
We gotta find a solution
I’m a twentieth century man but I don’t want to die here.
I was born in a welfare state
Ruled by bureaucracy
Controlled by civil servants
And people dressed in grey
Got no privacy, got no liberty
Cos the twentieth century people
Took it all away from me.
Don’t wanna get myself shot down
By some trigger happy policeman,
Gotta keep a hold on my sanity
I’m a twentieth century man but I don’t wanna die here.
No doubt there will come a day when we will be pitted against in warfare like they did to those folks if the State has not already convinced those of us still left that “we do not exist”. I see this happening in South Africa to a high degree where they openly talk about killing the White people while also denying that race exists. Talk about an odd dichotomy! Race “does not exist” ie: White people “do not exist” hence we are “figments” of own own imaginations - yet we clearly exist to them when they are killing us in massive numbers! Even the President of Genocide Watch Dr. Gregory Stanton has publicly noted for over a decade now that the Boer farmers are at stage six of facing total genocide. This will be exported here as well but by then most White people will think they “deserve to die” for the imagined crimes the Left ascribes to them - forgetting that White people are victims as well.
They have the highest % of Neanderthal DNA.
Africans have none.
Neanderthals had bigger brains, bigger brains is associated with higher IQ's.
Brain sizes are trending down in modern humans.
Long term society and the economy function in spite of the politicians not because of anything they do..everyday folks can live their lives perfectly well if they ignore the political rhetoric and PC crap IMHO
That book is so political correct that I have refused to read anything else by Jared Diamond since reading it.
All the worlds problems are blamed on White men.
” You know you’re getting old when the hair starts falling off your head and starts growing in your ears.”
Way off topic, but a nice truism none the less.
White men in general, whether in advertising or entertainment are saddled with a nearly universal negative image. Whether cad or dolt, martinet or madman, they are all negative and unsympathetic. Homosexual white men are the sole exception and quite purposefully so. What our enemy would destroy, they must first demonize, so that the hoi polloi will willingly participate...
My own objection to civilizationism ("white men created the world!") has nothing to do with political correctness, but is rather because I am a religious fundamentalist. All human beings everywhere are descended from Adam and Eve and all are subject to the same laws of G-d. Obedience to these Laws would alleviate all our problems.
Civilizationism implies that G-d Himself is the product of someone's creative imagination. This is blasphemy, and it is thinking like this (and not political correctness) that makes me an enemy of the "palaeocons." "East" and "west" are just directions on a map, but G-d is real and omnipresent.
Furthermore, all these lefties are flaming hypocrites. Every thought in their heads comes from some dead white European male: Voltaire, Rousseau, Comte, Hegel, Darwin, Marx, Wellhausen, Gramsci, etc. Them ain't "indigenous pipples," pal.
BTTT
Egyptian civilization was effectively white, or at least not a sub-Saharan-African civilization, regardless of what Afrocentric academics might say. The Egyptians were part of the culture of the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East, consisting of the Nile valley, Phoenicia (Lebanon and Israel) and Mesopotamia.
Agriculture originated in this region, probably around Sumeria, and spread out. I would not be surprised if Ancient Egypt was settled by Sumerian agriculturalists spreading out from Mesopotamia, down the eastern Mediterranean coast, and down into the Nile, exterminating any prior hunter/gatherer tribes that may have been there.
Carthage was a major power for a couple of centuries BC when it was a republic set up by the Phoenicians and later as the capital of the Vandal kingdom in the fifth and sixth centuries AD. However, its founders and rulers came from outside Africa.
IMHO you are very wrong. Every "popular movement" of the last hundred years was carefully orchestrated by politicians for their own ends. Winners are selected and the popular media is used to demonize and isolate the chosen losers. In America white men have been selected to lose, because we have the most wealth to loot. We will not be permitted to ignore the outcome.
The Cape Dutch never cut ties to Europe & looked down on the anti-colonial emerging Boers who wanted independence & freedom on the African continent. The Boers are from the Trekboers who lived as nomads & became part of the landscape & considered themselves Africans. The Boers even established a number of their own Boer Republics before they were conquered by the British after the second Anglo-Boer War.
The British then politically merged the larger Cape Dutch with the smaller Boers & called them all Afrikaners: a dispossessing term which had its roots in the region used to describe anyone born in Africa - White / mixed race or other - who spoke the patois later called Afrikaans. The Boers were marginalized under the Afrikaner designation as they were the smaller segment. Thus when they tried to restore the Boer Republics in 1914 / 1940s / 1990s etc. the Afrikaner establishment organized against them & prevented the Boers from regaining self determination.
Listen for more at: Verwoerd was not a friend of the Boer Nation.
The late Boer patriot Fritz Meyer noted in an open letter that the British imported signs stating "European" & "non-European" to the region & Hennie Barnard noted in an article about the concentration camps the British used against Boer civilians that the Boers never regarded themselves as European. The notion that all of the local White peoples were "Europeans" was promoted by the British who conquered the region.
Interesting that this extreme hatred of old white men appears to be coming to a head precisely at the point in human history when old white men are figuring out how to reverse the aging process, i.e., to disguise themselves as young white men. Those crafty old devils. They’re going to be around forever!
Later.
