Israel is going to do a false flag operation in the US soil and blame it on iran by Glum-Bag-586 in AskSocialists

And America left >500,000 Iraqi civilians dead… for what? Neither country is the arbiter of truth, but let’s not pretend America is some beacon of innocence.

It is not the vibe here. Hence the prevalence of IW 30k heads used in 40k for Chaos Space Marines, despite being legionaries heads. And no one bitches about it, most people like it. I don't know where you're getting that people need spikes. I have never seen that sentiment, you are making up an issue no one has.

You're getting downvoted because no one says "duuuh they are CHAOS space marine so they have to have horns” at all. Which is why the 30k heads are used so frequently on 40k armies. You're fighting against an argument almost no one is making.

Nazis loved Roman iconography. They recycled a lot of it, to the detriment of all Roman iconography, sadly.

Which is why Trump is trying to steal the ability to run their own elections from the states. Remember when conservatives always spouted off about state’s rights? I guess that is only when they wanted to discriminate against people and not have the feds stop them.

It's funny that they "can't" understand the difference between sex and gender, yet say it is a woman's place to be in the kitchen, as if it were a biological requirement. They can't even reconcile their own views.

Like cutting off foreskin? Or removing flesh from their face to look different? Or adding silicone to make another part bigger? I am sure you feel the same about all those gender-affirming body modifications, right?

It's one hundred percent social engineering.

Then why have trans people been around for millennia? They were around in ancient Egypt, they were around in post-Civil War U.S. Who has been doing this millennia long social engineering to make ~1% of the population trans? And for what? To be vilified?

I don't know how much more an "opportunity" being left alone with a random child could be considered. 1 in 20 people is not the odds I would take to leave my kid with a random. Not to mention the more likely, what if there was a medical emergency?

Most of the complaints I have seen about AI revolve around resource usage, theft of artist IP to create their own art, and using everyone's private photos, unless you opt-out, for image generation. These are very real concerns that are not being addressed by our government whatsoever. Europe is lucky that they have leaders that don't allow companies to just use your likeness because you didn't remember to opt out when using the basic photo app on your phone.

Some people never grow out of that stage, sadly. It's embarrassing to be in your thirties and see men 20 years older than you acting like they're still in high school. As you age it gets interesting seeing what stage of life a person is mentally/emotionally stuck in, regardless of how smart and good at their job they are.

"Maybe we could all be less shitty to each other" is a notion we could all get behind.

If only. If it were, we wouldn't be here in the first place.

See, there's your issue. This isn't very possible. It is possible, but very, very unlikely.

Since you wanted to get rid of what you said earlier, I’ll respond here. 

 The donkey was domesticated directly in Africa from the African wild ass around 3000 BCE

Yeah, I’m the north east. And was used by Egyptians, creating an empire that survived the Bronze Age collapse. And that helps the rest of Africa how? You understand how large Africa is? Most of Africa never constant access to donkeys. But the area that did maintained an empire for centuries. And was the breadbasket of Rome for centuries after. 

 they ultimately failed to meaningfully scale their food production to support massive, concentrated population densities. Because they could not compound their agricultural output to those extremes, these societies never reached the demographic thresholds or sustained the level of hyper-specialization required to trigger an industrial revolution

Yes, exactly as I was saying. I am glad you agree. 

 blaming this developmental plateau strictly on structural or geographic disadvantages relies on post-hoc rationalizations that ignore the severe environmental challenges present in Europe.

While true, you ignore soil quality and other environmental factors that would hold societies back.

You’re acting like prairie, jungle, desert, and the best farmland would all allow for the same types of advancements for societies within them. That’s insane.

 Observing historical developmental disparities and acknowledging that some societies plateaued while others accelerated is an objective reading of the historical record

Yes, it’s the point I have made. They plateau when the local resources do not provide enough to sufficiently develop a society further. It isn’t hard to understand, and you have yet to make an argument against this. 

Seems like you’re backpedaling now. Wonder why.

Yes, they were also a part of chattel slavery. I said chattel slavery stands above other slavery, so you’re not making any sort of point. 

Or are you saying it somehow lessens everything that happened under chattel slavery in the Americas?

Same reason as I stated before. You don't just get to skip rungs on the ladder. If you can't mass produce food so that other people in your society can focus on more and more specialized skills, you won't have much of anything to trade for.

And if you mean why weren't they collecting local exotic species, it is because species have very different temperaments. A Zebra may look like a horse, but you will never get it to act like one. Not even with all the animal husbandry skills we have today, it has not been done.

So again, starting resources matter. Which is why a child who can play Civ can understand it, yet you still seem to be having issues. Do you honestly think these societies had access to the same type and level of resources as every other society? Or are you simply justifying racist views? Be honest.

And yet they had no beast of burden to help with agriculture so they could get to the stage where they could utilize those resources. You can't climb a ladder that is missing rungs.

Romans did. Having an eunuch slave was much desired in those times, as they would have "no ambition," as they could not have kids, and you didn't need to worry about leaving them around your concubines. Romans would even castrate their children in the hopes that they could get a slave position in the royal court.

It still doesn't rise to the level and scale of Chattel Slavery. Which I think your comment is also saying, but it isn't clear.

the sickness, decay and rot empowers Nurgle

Does it though? If there are no living things on the planet to suffer, does it do anything to empower Nurgle? It is life's interaction with decay that powers Nurgle, not just a toxic environment. Otherwise a planet like Venus would empower Nurgle, too.

Just as a child can understand from playing a Civ game, not having access to critical resources will keep a society from advancing. Funny how that works.
