Nuke is the new DB... Edit: nah.. that doesn't work... Nuke was already an Archon... he's a made guy.

And Speaker is trying out for the Strangelove role... but isn't crazy enough, yet.

[Montegriffo]

You are fast becoming the drtrech of the MHF...

You kinda usurped him... Hate to break it to ya.

He'll have an identity crisis IF he comes back.

I had the best teacher.

[Montegriffo]

....or maybe I was his sock pocket all along.

Poor Grumps doesn't know what to do,
on the arms race he hasn't a clue
on Phelps and Usain,
he is really inane
and his wit ends at limey fuck you.

on the space race his ideas don't work
on rhyming he looks like a berk
his burns do not hurt
he looks daft in a skirt
and i'm starting to think he's a jerk.

I think Trech is the one
who can give me more fun
the new year can't be
too early for me
the return of the prodigal son

Dude.

[Montegriffo]

Dude.

Sorry mate I'm a dick.

Race is the classification of humans into groups based on physical traits, ancestry, genetics or social relations, or the relations between them.[1][2][3][4][5] First used to refer to speakers of a common language and then to denote national affiliations, by the 17th century race began to refer to physical (i.e. phenotypical) traits. The term was often used in a general biological taxonomic sense,[6] starting from the 19th century, to denote genetically differentiated human populations defined by phenotype.[7][8]

The New York Times' former science editor on research showing that evolution didn't stop when human history began.

A longstanding orthodoxy among social scientists holds that human races are a social construct and have no biological basis. A related assumption is that human evolution halted in the distant past, so long ago that evolutionary explanations need never be considered by historians or economists.

New analyses of the human genome have established that human evolution has been recent, copious, and regional.

I'm not that familiar with it but the theory goes every 500 or so years America becomes a very bad place to live. From what I remember there is a theory that the Natives were already contracting a virulent disease that wiped out entire civilizations such as the Mississippi Valley Civilization and various Aztec principalities before white man even stepped foot in America with their own diseases. But like I said I'm not familiar with it more than tangentially.

It mostly fucked up the people in the Andes, with maybe some fallout in Mesoamerica. There were definitely mega droughts in our west that lasted many years.

You can see it happen in Andean civilizations quite easily. There exists a cycle of civilization in their history. All the little civilizations in the area would collapse right around the same time, which can be pinpointed to a mega el nino. So you would see the Moche collapse, the Wari collapse, Nasca, etc. --- all around the same time. They were destroyed by a decade of drought and a decade of torrential rain. The cultures persisted by transformed in the dark ages that followed. They reemerged as new civilizations loosely corresponding to what came before. The Wari were the predecessors of the Inca. The Moche were the predecessors (I think) of the Chimu.

There exists no analog in our civilization's history. The closest thing western civilization has to this event happened deep in the bronze age. This happened at least twice that I have read about.

Mesoamerican collapses were rarer, not so final except for the Olmecs, and not at the same time. Whatever happened here was not nearly as devastating as what happens in South America.

From what I have heard that it is possible that the Little Ice Age could've caused major natural changes (like longer and much worse droughts than before) here in NA, and it would've surely put a damper on their crop production which would lead to famine. That being said, there was an epidemic that did wipe out many Natives. When European diseases were first brought over, it spread like wildfire to areas far north and Natives were dying in mass, from these dieseases.

We certainly know what epidemics can do to a population, up to a third of Europe was killed by the black death. The first visitors would have brought many diseases that were new to the continent. Even in Europe where the population had built up immunities a lot of people still died from them. Maybe even the Norsemen brought killer diseases which explain the pre-Columbus collapses. We now know they got as far as the Mississippi, why not even further south?

[Speaker to Animals]

Up to half the population of Europe was killed by t he Black Death in the first wave of the 1340s.


Some scholarsreject the Spanish' own conclusion that the smallpox they brought to the Americas caused the big epidemic here. It seems to have been an unidentified indigenous disease.

If the Black Death was a viral fever as some scientists and historians believe, then you likely don't possess resistance to it either.

For that matter, you are hardly more resistant to smallpox compared to indigenous people as it is.

The Americas were not some pristine environment free from horrific epidemics before Europeans showed up. You have to put down that Dances With Wolves / Jared Diamond bullcrap.

Ultimately, all of these leftist historical narratives derive from a kind of racism and soft bigotry predicated upon the assumption that nonwestern peoples were like innocent children who were helpless against European ubermensch, and all the bad things derived from Europe, including deadly diseases capable of wiping out tens of millions of people. Those are silly assumptions.
