@sharghzadeh It’s kinda funny how Arab Socialists were- ironically enough- the secular nationalists that had more “class”

@avrilbradley23 I wonder if there was anything similar done Ethiopia? The two countries had warm relations in the interwar era and maybe you could pull something out of your ass fusing the Asian and African narratives of Prester John?

@crawlings13 Basically imagine the type of person that would be a ‘political convert’ to Islam except they’re white and it’s the height of “cultural appropriation” as a concept so they instead go with Judaism

@runaway_return @StanleyCohenLaw Also with Australia and the Americas we have evidence of longtime trade occurring between Northern Aboriginal tribes and sailors from modern Indonesia as well as trans-Bering trade between the Americas and Siberia

Not really bc we don’t know how long they’ve had their present culture. Peaceful contacts have been made and when Indian anthropologists studied them they found that Sentinelese would scavenge shipwreck for scrap metal to cold-forge into tools and that the Onge people have a name for North Sentinel Island (Chankute) and even oral-tradition stories of ancestors sailing there to acquire metal.

It’s actually quite possible the extreme-xenophobic isolationism could have resulted from the botched British attempt at first contact which caused an outbreak of disease. Their ability to cold-work metal tools and construction of things like bows or canoes while seemingly lacking ability to make fire (despite having tech more ‘advanced’ than prehistoric fire-starting) could potentially imply that they once needed to trade for fire-starters like flint and only made due without it when they recently associated outsiders with mass death and catastrophe.

Regardless they would have like 1k-2k years to have a single member descended from any outsider to be fall under the framework of sharing the last universal-human-ancestor.

@avrilbradley23 Do ppl just not realize they’re sounding like 2010s ‘Moderate Republicans’ saying TP/MAGA will kill the GOP forever

@crawlings13 Kinda funny how Mormonism has nothing to do with this afaik despite, you know, actually literally saying Ancient Israelites moved to the Americas

My great-great grandfather was a Katipunan member and of some rank as he helped set up a Hong Kong cell to gather funds from sympathetic Brits and Chinese and later lead an artillery company and was briefly a cabinet member in one of the prov govs.

But I always feel the need to proactively explain the flag when I tell ppl in case they look up what I’m talking about

I think the thing people are missing is that the “do not depict Muhammad” is not some ultra-universal command that Muslims must enforce on non-Muslims. Muslims aren’t supposed to depict prophets shared with Jews and Christians but Christians living in Muslim lands were allowed to make icons.

It was the way Charlie Hedbo and similar cartoons were seen as intentionally provocative and designed to blaspheme that resulted in that reaction. It’s pretty well known there’s some mentions of Jesus in the Talmud that resulted in enraged Christian including violent ones but that doesn’t mean some super specific rule about “not being allowed to treat Jesus as,only human” that has to be enforced on all mankind was broken it was how it was seen as provocatary blasphem

@Fowzy__ @Carboniferoys Hmm

@huntervhoffman @PanasonicDX4500 Such as?

[Memecucker @memecucker]

Trying to recapture the charm and personalities of the original is just a bad idea, you can always just rewatch the original. 80s remakes of 50s movies monsters movies like The Thing or The Blob worked bc they took the same premise but made something that felt like a cousin of the original not its child

Criticizing Israeli by saying “actually it’s secular” is like criticizing Israel by saying “it’s a democracy where citizens of all backgrounds are treated equally”

[Memecucker @memecucker]

@dhaaruni I think we can repress expressions of this sentiment if these ppl knew that lowkey this shit is a massive ego boost to the “shishka” type its targeting

[Memecucker @memecucker]

@jusdcanneberge I tell people I like doing Uber or DoorDash in South LA and they think I’m crazy but like nah the paranoia people have about the hood actually means you get a really decent volume of orders coming in. You won’t get whale tips but it’s better than college kids

[Purrs 🏴 @NewPerspectives]

this is genuinely how rightoids view the world

@JustinusRomanus Evil Gregory of Nyssa be like “God will condemn the loyal angels to Hell also”

@mastoraspol @Smthingedgy Why would Arabian paganism collapse? Polytheism was already on a steep decline by the time of Muhammad, with Judaism and Christianity but also non-Abrahamic forms on the rise.
