It's hard to be sympathetic to Dutch colonialism when it was really the vehicle for Sephardic Jewish financial interests through the VOC. Jews made up a large proportion of its investors that was enforced using white Dutch gentile muscle. The Dutch were the shabbos goy soldiers

Thus, a chaotic implosion of US superpower status is actually in the US' own interest if it is serious about beating China. I suggest the US import infinity Indians as the 1st step to this winning strategy of defeating China in the 21st century

Many black people, especially those truly confined to ghettos w/ little contact to white spaces, have a religiously-based hatred of white people (literally, see beliefs about Yakub and the creation of whites — this is widespread in urban black America among males). The media and our best institutions encourage this by pushing narratives of white evil that do not match the real world.
While he is 100% at fault, there should be a lesson in this for white people who pretend race no longer matters in assessing risk. Young white liberals must develop an eye for the cluster of traits within a demographic that make them dangerous; black people do it. I wouldn’t sit in front of a bald white guy in Dixie Outfitter gear, with southern pride visibly tattooed on him. He could be a great person, but I’d rather not.
Even within transit systems that have almost 80% black ridership, like we have here in Atlanta, other black passengers do not sit with their backs toward characters like this guy. You either stand until better seats become available, or if you have to take a seat, you sit across both seats so your back is facing the side of the train.
It sucks that she comes from a homogeneous place, and no one instilled in her the discernment necessary for navigating interactions in high-crime, multiracial societies, especially one where the lagging groups are encouraged to “punch a Nazi (disagreeing white)” or engage violently with any little thing they perceive to be a racial offense

The word ‘slave’ comes from Old French ‘esclave’ (which meant both ‘Slav’ and ‘slave’) as Western Europeans (mainly the Franks) enslaved lots of Slavic people during the Middle Ages. No Slavic country ever invaded Western Europe unprovoked, while the opposite happened many times.

There was a small Italian football team based out of the city of Rome, Boreale ASD, that looked to the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great for inspiration for a really cool shirt!
A great choice and a great design!

Thucydides notes that amongst the early Greeks, piracy was seen as an honourable and common profession that Greeks and Barbarians alike partook in.

In essence, the Roman culture is a "Graeco-Roman" synthesis.
While the Romans were incredibly pragmatic and adapted elements to suit their own needs, their admiration for Greek intellectual and artistic achievements was profound... an inseparable part of "being Roman". ⬇️

The reverse of a Swede going to Japan and naming himself “Tatsumasa Murasame” would be a Japanese man going to the U.S. and naming himself “Chad Steel” or “Brandon McFreedom”, btw.
