As I recall in his episodes on the Mongols, Dan Carlin speculated that changes in regional weather in the preceding decades lead to greatly increase food and feed yields enabling the nomadic tribes to have more horses and larger populations. Eventually they grew large enough that the local habitat couldn't contain them and so they started conquering. Horse archers turned out to be effective against a lot of the other armies they fought and they had some good military leaders in charge of them.

Even the Romans started as a small tribal group that was more successful than neighboring tribes and took over the region before going on to establish a massive empire. They had generally better methods of fighting than the people they conquered and had a system of governance that managed to hold together over the hundreds of years that it took to maintain and hold what they conquered.

Nomadic groups also aren't good at record keeping. We know more about civilizations thousands of years older because they stayed in one place and recorded information in clay or stone that lasted. Nomadic tribes typically didn't bother developing or using writing as even hide scrolls were of little utility. Any history or tradition was oral and far easier to lose.

there's good discussion here

Rabbi near me let fly with a tirade about that that wouldn't have been out of place on mid-2008 /pol/, so I know you're right it.

You know what's even funnier? I still have Harvard stuck in my head, so I found a piece about Harvard settling on antisemitic lawsuits. The important part of that piece is Harvard officially defining what consists of "antisemitism."

Definition of antisemitism. Notably, Harvard will adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism. It reads as follows:

Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.

The IHRA definition contains 11 examples that are now part of Harvard’s own definition of antisemitism. Some of these explain that certain criticisms of Israel can be antisemitic. Such situations include:

• Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.
• Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
• Applying double standards by requiring of [Israel] a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
• Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
• Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.

So, because a bunch of entitled college students decided to be public nuisances in support of a terrorist organization, Harvard decided to double down on suppressing public opinion of Zionism as harmful rhetoric. Never mind that the several "protests" of late would not qualify as protest as they're actively harming people with their actions.

That's an overreach of ACTUAL free speech if I've seen one.

Niggershining sure can be profitable for neoliberals: https://nypost.com/2025/05/24/us-ne...e-rich-doubles-net-worth-since-taking-office/

Warnock — who has praised Marxism and cheered the redistribution of wealth — has made a killing since he took office…

The Peach State pastor — whose campaign was heavily backed by far-left billionaire George Soros — doubled his net worth from just over $1 million in 2020 to as much as $2.2 million in 2024, financial disclosure records show.

Not a bad take, even by Swamp standards. Being an ultra-shitlib House (or rather, Senate) Nigger pays off still better than his old Jeremiah Wright graft, whereby he passed off hatred of Caucasians as Christianity.

He accused his predecessor during the race of using her seat to get rich.

But records show he almost tripled his annual earnings, going from $242,101 when he was a reverend in 2020 to bringing in on average $659,977 each year since becoming a politician…

American Senators receive an annual salary of $174,000. Much of Warnock’s remaining lavish income comes from book deals, as virtue-signaling liberals with more dollars than sense shell out for the privilege of placing his probably unread books on their coffee tables.

The limousine Leninist denounces tax cuts for benefitting billionaires — like his patron Alex Soros, who calls him “the epitome of the American dream.”

Even with all his money, Warnock is still accused of using campaign funds to defend himself from lawsuits. There is no greed like neoliberal greed.

Warnock said he would dismantle the American value system. Voters are getting what they voted for.

It's kinda nice to see a somebody actually questioning stuff like Harvard's influence

When people start noticing, they can get dangerous...

Well, when you act like everything is another Shoah, people assume everything is Antisemitic you kikes.

The people who are constantly drawing Holocaust comparisons are the people on the left and the non-Jews. They are the ones calling everyone Nazis and every event is a Holocaust, Trump is Hitler, etc. The overwhelming majority of Jews understand the gravity of the Shoah, as they were the ones who suffered through it. The vast majority take offense at these comparisons understand that such comparisons are disrespectful to the victims and survivors.

However, with October 7, there were many parallels in regard to the dehumanization of Jews, mass murder and torture of Jews of all ages, and burning Jews alive. It was also the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. For Holocaust survivors who experienced October 7, they describe it as taking them back to the Holocaust. This doesn’t mean that they think the scale is in equivalent in any way; they’re not stupid.

Harvard has this too, take that what you will.

American society is centered around …… Jews.

You took a phrase and made multiple paragraphs out of it. My point exactly. Everything is always a fucking problem. All the time. "Oh no, I can't eat this, I can't flip the light switch on this day" wah wah wah. It's bragging at a certain point. Meanwhile the American must just take it when a disaster happens, like that derailment in Ohio. We can't claim the funny antisemitism word. Going to be blunt: antisemitism doesn't exist. People have been genocided and attacked throughout history, Jews aren't special, and I'd wish they would stop paying my politicians off

 

[The Last Stand]

Jewish people have turned themselves into a political monolith. It was only a matter of time before people started noticing and asking questions about certain pattern recognition. This Israeli-Palestine War may have just opened that Pandora's box up to the public consensus. Now Democrats would have to decide to continue their sudden silence on political violence related to "FREE PALESTINE" or make a stand against antisemitism like their Republican counterparts.

Your kind claims it does. Any misunderstanding or slight is antisemitism. This I bet is antisemitism.

Discrimination. Period.

conflating jews and israel without implicating christian zionists

The kikes control the banks and you know it. There is no distinction. One in the same. And with that I'm done.

I'm glad this woman is at least not too far-gone to actually look around and pay attention then re-evaluate her views but at the same time I still hate her. "I ONLY CARE WHEN IT AFFECTS ME DIRECTLY" and then people wonder why we have these problems in the first place. Give it a year or two after these people are thrown out of whatever area she's in and she'll just forget allllllll about it and vote the same retards and policies back in. Guaranteed.

you're accusing me of accusing you of anti semitism when ive never called anyone on this site antisemitic

Discrimination. Period.

so there's no such thing as racial discrimination?

The kikes control the banks and you know it. There is no distinction. One in the same. And with that I'm done.

>I point out that a large amount of christians are zionists who help Israel
>you point out that Jews control the banks as a comeback despite it having nothing to do with what I said or lobbying

Out of the CEOs of all the major banks in the USA, only 1 is Jewish

[The Ugly One]

I doubt it, he's been a hard right winger since he sobered up and became a born again. Cause some controversy with his criticism of Obama, his support for Rick santorum, and the fact he regularly hangs out with Alex jones.

What? Is distrusting the government metal now?

 

[WelperHelper99]

I'm taking that piece away before it can be used. Yu-Gi-Oh strats my man.

so there's no such thing as racial discrimination?

Discrimination is Discrimination. It's equal and ends the same.

Yeah I know about Christians funding Isreal. The real power is in the banks. And why would you put a Jew as a front man? Plausible deniabilty if it isn't.

In any case dual nationality is bullshit and I hope the decoupling happens sooner rather than later and Trump gets his swag new jet to all the seething.
