I'll give him a pass solely because he did it on his last day before retirement. I'd say that's a baller way to go out.

Kinda reminds me of this

If only white guilt was always so pure and honest. I can almost respect him for it.

this is the history if black people invented gunpowder, if women were dominant, and if white people were Indian: same thing.

For the most part, I agree. But there are some real differences.

Like compare the Oriental Zodiac to the right one. HAHA, but the western one. Ours separates the year into portions. But the Oriental one has that whole "Year of the Monkey" thing going on. There is much more of a focus on communalism and generational shifts, where ours places a greater emphasis on individualism. This stuff is pretty close to the most ancient surviving remnants of pre-history voodoo that we've got and they do reflect a real philosophical and cultural difference.

The chinese invented gunpowder, and even the gun, but they kept using crossbows up until the 19th century. It took some crazy fucking europeans to adopt and refine them in organized warfare. The Chinese just weren't going to do that. Internal combustion engines... they existed. You can find them (incredibly) even in greek antiquity. But it took a german miner who was just fucking tired of being wet and the sump pumps being such giant pieces of ineffective shit to spark a revolution.

Not that I'm saying whites are the master race, just that there are some real cultural differences. If the Aztecs had fought the spanish off with cannons of their own, more would be different about America than just the color of the 1%.

Not that i'mnotsaying whites are the master race.

Europeans kinda just got lucky. They were able to benefit from preservation of and expansion on knowledge from the Roman and Greek era preserved and passed on via the remains of the Roman empire (Istanbul once Constantinople) and they had the ambition and the know how and the money to go out and start fucking shit up.

The only thing that has always confused me is why the Chinese didn't do it first. Then you realize that their entire western border is a wasteland of rocky mountains and desert and the tibetan plateau and you realize how they got such an insular mindset. They just considered everywhere else barbarians and didn't give a fucking to enlighten them. Europeans wanted to "enlighten" them (and in the process make their pockets much richer) so off they went with gunpower and ships to conquer the world.

It wasn't the first time it was tried, it was just the time it was tried where all the factors were right for it to be successful for the most part (colonialism)

"I don't know anything except for what I've been saying".

Sounds legit. Not scammy or like made up dyke drama at all.
