الحدود الملتهبة دي نتيجة طبيعية لدولة كانت قوية وفاعلة ومؤثرة وأصبحت هشة وضعيفة.
انت لو قوي كنت هتمنع حدوث ظروف إقليمية معينة بدأت صغيرة وكبرت بتأثير الفراشة.
المنطقة كلها بتدفع تمن ضعف مصر وغيابها وتحولها لقنبلة موقوتة

I really appreciate that all carnivores are “basically cats” or “basically dogs”. Great call by the taxonomists.

If I was brown I would be hoping to GOD that China doesn’t become the world power…

You think the cold, calculated Chinese give a fuck about your sob stories? colonialism? Slavery? Reparations?

Your ass is GOING to the MINES 😭

What's crazy about socities like Saudi or the Gulf is the native people don't work. It's 50 million people living off oil money.

But it's not like they are creating great art. There's no interesting films. Songs. Literature. Games.

It's just guys hanging out all day

I think Western Muslims are disappointed that the only corner of the Islamic world with financial power has no civilizational ambitions, unlike the West, China, Israel, or India.

Instead the sum total of GCC aspiration seems to be Las Vegas or Miami.

Mamdani is the progenitor of the 'American Muslim race.'

I have a theory that American Muslims will undergo ethnogensis and produced a vaguely Brown, Arab-Desi mixed ethnicity.

I think Zohran already proved my prediction right. When speaking about his ethnicity, Mamdani is just Muslim, no one calls him Arab or Ugandan. Even the anti-Indian right wingers don't mention that he's Indian.

The only relevant part of Zohran's race is Islam. He's racially Muslim. This is the future for all Muslim Americans.

I had not realised before that the Bronze Age Collapse was literally *caused* by iron.

Bronze age powers like the Egyptians, Hittites and Babylonians used bronze weapons, made by combining copper and tin. Tin was so scarce that only the richest and most powerful groups could access it and the bronze weapons it allowed. (Tin was so rare that it was being transported from Cornwall to the Middle East more than 1000 years BC.) The scarcity of tin gave these empires a near-monopoly on violence.

Iron weapons are not actually any better than bronze ones – they're not stronger or easier to work with, as I'd assumed. They're just much, much easier to mass produce once you have bloomeries, which are the first furnaces that were hot enough to melt iron in a way that made them useable for weapons.

Bloomeries meant that iron ore, which was widespread, could be used to make weapons anywhere. That led to warlords, bandits and city-states rising in a massive decentralization of military power, which the Bronze Age empires were unable to resist.

After the invention of the bloomery, skeletons show a measurable increase in weapon-inflicted injuries. 'Destruction layers' with bones and signs of burning have been found from this time at archaeological sites including Troy. Ancient writers – including Herodotus, Ovid, and the writers of the Old Testament – believed the invention of iron had unleashed a new age of violence.

New at Works in Progress, WEAPONS OF MASS DECENTRALIZATION: how iron itself brought about the Bronze Age Collapse. And what technologies could do the same today?

Why does @profgalloway preface his expression of "offense" to the use of the word "genocide" to describe what Israel did in Gaza with the phrase "as a Jew...."?

What does being a Jew have to do with at the findings of human rights groups, scholars, nations, etc. about Israel?
