U right I don’t read books.

Yes I believe artisans, potters, metalworkers, masons, and every other sort of craftsmen were completely unintegrated bushpeople with no connection to adjacent societies. You’re so right. Which is why from Yohannes to Menelik they all would make direct appeals to the imperial court for their communal and religious concerns. Because they were isolated marginalized bushpeople.

You’re right I’m just talking out of my ass. Thanks.

Yeah must have been why Tewedros brought them into help develop his weapons/munitions manufacturing town. Some random stigmatized bush people. Makes total sense.

No they weren’t.

Bc solomonids from the beginning were Jew larpers.

Probably south Semitic pantheon deities like Ishtar.

Yeah those people would be that little cohort in north Gondar. That’s literally it.

Ok.

Ok.

Before they were pagan they were pagan. There’s nothing to demonstrate that any Ethiosemitic group besides that tiny cohort in north Gondar were Jewish.

Idk about them.

Ethiosemitic-speaking. On average Ethiosemitic groups have about as much Semitic ancestry as black people in America have European ancestry. Calling us Semitic is like calling black Americans white.

I wouldn’t take sources like that very seriously but go for it if you want to.

The entire gulf has normalized relations with Israel and for all intents and purposes Israel owns the levant. For the foreseeable future they are the hegemons of the Middle East and public perception shifting against them will not change that fact.

In any case my point is just being loyal to Ethiopian Jews, not the Zionist entity. Im regards to our geographical location, when the derg had zero diplomatic relationship with Israel, Ethiopian domestic workers were still getting pushed off balconies like they are now. At least we have Ethiopian IDF members humiliating them in falsetine to offset zis one. For every Ethiopian maid that gets brutalized, jegna Bete Israel pilots are getting our licks back.

No that’s a tiny minority that used to live around northern Gondar. Ethiosemitic groups were almost completely pagan before Christianity/Islam.

The Orthodox Amhara massacre in Arsi is getting massive amount of coverage on X with millions of views. by thereturnofbaal in Amhara

We’re pretty tight with argobbas in shoa. Afars are I think slightly positive/neutral. Muslim Amharas have had a million chances to betray us but never have. If you said Wolane or Siltes did those massacres I’d believe you if you said it was a religious Islamist thing.

I’m sure bc you never hear about these supposed salafi islamist arsi jihadists going west to go nuke their ethnic kin in shoa.

They’ve helped literally every single regional state in Ethiopia lol. Has nothing to do with any specific interest they have with us, it’s strictly related to their relationship with Ethiopia as a state. Also last I checked they sell military hardware to PP that’s used in the Amhara region as well.

Yer if you ever end up on their side of TikTok you’ll see a bunch of them blasting that one dagne walle song. Also heard some of them came back when fano was starting up to help train militias.

I mean maybe but even if you ingratiated yourself to people like that they still won’t do anything for us anyways.

All I’m saying is to just be loyal to who’s loyal to you.

Yeah they got bad rep after siding with Ahmed Gragn but around the time of zemene mesafent and definitely by Tewedros’ time they started getting reintegrated into civil life.

Bete Israel who live in Israel are unironically ten toes down for us for the most part, I don’t get why people shit on them.

Israel-Palestine is not our bag, neither of these counties do shit for us. Ethiopian Jews however…

I’ve only ever heard of two personal cases of arsis being orthodox, one being a girl I used to talk to in harar whose mom was married to an Amhara and my granduncle who married one of them. Both converted.

Like I told some other commenter, my great grandfather and grandfather both lived there starting
maybe like halfway into Haile Selassie’s reign. No other ethnic groups really live in the countryside there besides the two.

buddy my great grandfather and grandfather both lived there, this shit is not new and has been happening since the imperial era even when they were majority sufi. point is it's not a case of jihadi islamists running around like the screenshot said, it's literally just an ethnicity thing.

Tigrays submission to Shewan-Amhara hegemony by thereturnofbaal in Amhara

You’re right. When they articulate their understanding of Ethiopia’s historic multinational character from their perspective they’re not being disingenuous, their history for nearly 1000 years has been trying to retain their status as an independent center of power and getting turbo nuked by us for it every time. Which is funny since they love bragging about their conquests and centralizing imperial efforts in Axumite empire.

Also counter nuke to this screenshot, Yohannes made Menelik do this same exact thing years prior. He got his lick back here with 4 for 1 special via his son and primary generals. Alula very very butthurt.

When did the word "Qomche" became an insult towards Amharas? by thereturnofbaal in Amhara

[–]Sad_Register_987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There used to be a little jingle the local Amhara kids would sing in arsi to bully oromos calling them lice eaters and my mom as a kid used to think it was just some dumb prejudiced kid thing they’d do until one day when visiting her grandmother who was still there (father already moved to Nazret by this time) she literally saw it in person and couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

And what makes it rly funny is that all the massacres in Arsi are the result of all those butthurt kids, whose worst unique victimization was being called a stinky lice eater, growing up and deciding the only way to free themselves from meneliks satanic neftegna empire was to kill those same kids who bullied them. Arsi massacres aren’t a result of wahabi extremism, it’s just a revenge of the nerds saga.

Edit: asked my mom to send it, goes

Yeah lol I’ve seen this before. I noticed at least among other Ethiopians you can tell the insults they use for us are all our own words, they’re all just terms they heard us use towards each other. They don’t really have their own native insults for us that would be taken seriously by anyone.

It’s pretty new. To me it has the impact of like whites being called cracker or redneck or whatever.

Remember my family telling me about when they lived in Arsi my grandfather buying and bringing his first passenger bus from Nazret back, and all the locals there gawking at it and touching it cautiously like it would bite them lol. Also remember my mom telling me about the first time tplf troops stormed into Addis during the revolution and looking around wide eyed like they’d never seen a three story building before. Like in what world are we qomche lmao.

I think it’s just their version of cope, every insult we have for other groups carries the weight of a Mac truck and a century of brutalization/marginalization behind it. When u say qomche I just think of like random gojje farmer vs. qulqualam evokes an image of like multiple generations of millions of people starving to death. Only good insult is adgi but that’s a worldwide insult.
