now that i think about it, the only reason why we hear about "muh systemic racism" being inflicted on negros is because unlike other races, the whiteys advanced their culture and put themselves at the top of the piramid, where everyone could look at them.

im pretty sure that if the africans or the middle easter kebabs had actually progressed on their own, and surpassed the earlier white cultures, the we would probably be hearing more about the transatlanic slave trade or issues like that.

basically all this "muh oppression" talk in the current year is nothing but a bunch of bitter losers perhaps
@rlier23
>the middle easter kebabs had actually progressed on their own
Give credit where due. The middle east was fine till the Ottomans fell to court corruption and it was carved up by Europe to be the shit hole it is today :vajra_comfy:
@Halo yeah it's obvious they progressed, but they didn't win the race for global conquest.
to be fair not even the huwites knew there was a race to begin with :kekw:
@rlier23 the only reason Europe won was because we had enough people who despised each other close enough that they could fight till they perfected war.
The middle east got complacent cause it was united by Islam.
China was too busy fighting itself.
Africa was a backwards shit hole cause of geography
America was doomed to be colonized.
@Halo i wonder if the weather of the regions was one of the factors that pushed for the development of european cultures too?
unlike the other cultures, i think the europeans had one of the shittiest places to live in, little to no delicious sources of food, harsh weather, stupidly cold seasons, small amount of territory.
i mean america has always had a stupid amount of abundance which would lead to a complacent behaviour and slow development and africa was probably more focused on hunting and tribal shit since that seemed to work kinda decently for their enviroment.
idk for sure but it's interesting talking about why the old europeans got so ahead of the curve. unlike contemporary eurocucks
@rlier23
The environment is a small part of Europes development imo, especially not something like "delicious food". The biggest factor I think is the closeness of all the different peoples, along with whacky ol feudalism.
America had an abundance of territory, but the culture of the North American people led them to never develop the same ideas that drove European wars, and doomed to be conquered by Europeans. The South American natives were weakened by internal strife, and European disease.
Africa is a bit harder for me to wonder why they never developed further, but I think it's the geography there. Desert and jungle is hard to traverse and form any large centralized nation, so tribes and villages triumphed there, but left them vulnerable to Europeans.
Asias the wild card I think :thonk:, India had a decent chance, but because their local rulers were more concerned with keeping their power they sold out to Europeans if i understand right, and China was so far up their own ass and incredibly unstable cause of the whole Mandate of Heaven and Court Culture, so it was only a matter of time for them to fall apart once they ran into Europe.

Basically I just think Europe got lucky to have lots of different people very close to each other, with lots of reasons to hate each other, that they were constantly forced to develop and exchange new ideas and tech putting them in a position to grow into the future world powers.>

anyway if any of my ramblings made no sense tell me.
@Halo @rlier23
>Africa is a bit harder for me to wonder why they never developed further
No winter and absolutely no shortage of easily gathered food and prey animals. They had the game set to ez-modo and never had to plan for survival or put any effort into developing society. They never had to select for intelligence or weed out genes that caused anti-social behavior, because there was no need for intelligence or cooperation to survive.
@Ricotta @Halo yeah this is why i say that enviroment was one of the special things eurpeans had, consider that for winter one had to stock up provisions unlike other regions and do some math and resource management to keep most of your group alive, something that no other culture had to do cept for maybe kebabs cuz dry season i guess
@rlier23 @Ricotta
>and do some math and resource management to keep most of your group alive
China, India, Egypt, Babylonia, Even the Aztecs (or Mayans?) perfected this in one form or another :vajra_comfy:
so. not true :zt_think:
@Halo @Ricotta not on the same level, it's not the same having some rations assigned for the prole and the royalty.
than having a very limited amount of food that must last you for all of winter
@rlier23 @Ricotta
>than having a very limited amount of food that must last you for all of winter
i think you're way over estimating Europe, and it's not like this was something the court handled, it was done farmer to farmer, family by family, and i doubt most of those peasants knew much arithmetic
I think Egypt had a more indepth ration and stores system than any of Europes feudal powers ever did :asui_what:

@Halo @rlier23 @Ricotta Because they lived in weather where you could. You can't do this sort of thing until you manage to beat the weather properly, which is what happened
