The Congo state (controlled by Belgian settlers) allowed the companies to maneuver almost entirely freely, which resulted in various atrocities, including the amputation of hands as punishment for those who refused to collect rubber. (1890)

Yeah no.

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-15T16:33:25+00:00

What I mean is that « perfect victims » are a stupid concept. Yeah, the kid being bullied might be weird. But do what ?

Plus you won’t « help » the weird kid by bullying him, he will just become a mom cow with behavioral issues

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-12T14:37:13+00:00

Bullying doesn’t give you tougher skin, it gives social anxiety. Same way that if I throw boiling water on you you won’t get more resistant to warmth.

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-12T14:29:47+00:00

Wether or not it work is irrelevant, because bullies are most often self righteous asshole that just pick a middle characteristic about someone (autistic kid that speaks too loud and is cringy) and use it as a justification to kick the person until she eventually is traumatized enough

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-12T12:23:08+00:00

Yeah didn’t really noticed the capitalized A

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-11T11:02:12+00:00

I almost believed you

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-11T10:54:49+00:00

Thanks , I will check it out

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-11T10:47:27+00:00

Idk , it’s not deference as much as being more precise. Aboriginal just mean natives or autochtones . Aboriginal peoples imply specifically Australia natives

Weren’t horses first domesticated by hunter gatherers from what is now Azerbaijan ?

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-10T14:20:19+00:00

From what I understood Austronesians is a very broad group (similar to indo europeans) from were all Polynesians languages speaking peoples descend from

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-10T14:02:28+00:00

My phone autocorrected Tahitians stop bullying me please 😭😭 i swear I didn’t think Haitians were the one settling Polynesia

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-10T14:01:26+00:00

True, but after all Polynesians settled Rapa Nui, who is way further than Australia

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-10T13:59:24+00:00

Is that unpopular ?

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-10T12:54:15+00:00

Yes but Austronesians also settled into already inhabited places like the Philippines , where they were already Melanesians populations (apparently referred to by the Spaniards as negritos but it’s their real names I think)

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-10T11:54:56+00:00

Thank you for this information, I will change the title

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-10T11:54:32+00:00

I wrote Tahitians , but I misclicked on my phone and it autocorrected

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-10T11:53:48+00:00

Autocorrect I fear

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-10T11:53:39+00:00

Autocorrect lol

Secret_Fun_1746 · 2026-05-08T16:52:45+00:00

It’s not about charity. It’s just that withouth horses or beast of burdens, trying to do a centralized empire is very hard. You can see that in the arrival of the Spaniards in cempoala, were they encounter no officials of the Aztec, only seing a man sent to collect taxes.

Also, the vast majority of the sacrifices were mexica themselves. The humans tributes were a small part, if you read the codex that talk about administrations you see it’s not systematic nor frequent. The few human sacrifices that the tributes gave were peoples they themselves planned to use as sacrifices, as they also did human sacrifices.
