I always see threads about how "nigs didnt have any civilization" and the insufferable circlejerk among europeans about who had the best culture and contributions to humanity.

Bottom Line: Civilization began in the middle east, specifically Iran. The only reason the various European cultures became civilized was by influence from the East. All knowledge springs from Iraq, and the places closest to there benefited from receiving information about civilization earlier than the people who lived farther away. But that doesn't mean that the people who received it earlier are in anyway superior, they were just closer to the well of all knowledge geographically and got the civilization red pill earlier.

That being the case, who cares who received it earlier or later? Everybody eventually received it more or less in one form or another whether it was through European colonization for the natural transmission of ideas three trade and cultural contact.

tldr, if you are not Iraqi shut the fuck up about your ethnic groups supposed superiority to anybody else because you only borrowed from older more established civilizations. Most pre Middle Eastern contact accomplishments were roughly on the same scale; everybody was living like savages before exposure to Middle Eastern ideas about civilization and societal structuring. Nobody has a right to brag about anything except Iraqis

You're neglecting the fact that people migrate. Technology didn't just radiate out to convert hunter gathers to farmers, the farmers themselves do.

>We obtained 249 million base pairs of genomic DNA from ~5000-year-old remains of three hunter-gatherers and one farmer excavated in Scandinavia and find that the farmer is genetically most similar to extant southern Europeans, contrasting sharply to the hunter-gatherers, whose distinct genetic signature is most similar to that of extant northern Europeans. Our results suggest that migration from southern Europe catalyzed the spread of agriculture and that admixture in the wake of this expansion eventually shaped the genomic landscape of modern-day Europe.

A modern Iraqi has no stronger claim to Neolithic farmers than a European would.

We say that in the middle ages nations didn't really existed and everything was dictated by loyalty to an individual monarch.
How did people find motivation to fight for just one guy? How could they fight to death only for the hegemony of one man?

You made a contract with him. Your lord gives you land to cultivate and a right of usufruct which is hereditary. He also protects you.

For that you have to follow your lord into war. You don't directly fight for the king, you fight for your lord who is a vassal of the king.

>>2613317
Seems like it was just a misunderstanding. Japan just wanted to be noticed by Senpai and given recognition as an equal to the west.

But because Wilson didn't like the name and didn't want niggers back home to get uppity about racial equality, he snuffed it. Despite the proposal actually having a majority support.

This led to assblasted Japs that decided to wipe their ass with European recognition and unleashed the full autism of the japanese empire across Asia.

Given the massive amounts of asshurt it caused and ultimately blacks became equals anyway, Wilson should've just let it go.

Thomas Jefferson, A Bill for Proportioning Crimes and Punishments

1778Papers 2:492--504
Whereas it frequently happens that wicked and dissolute men resigning themselves to the dominion of inordinate passions, commit violations on the lives, liberties and property of others, and, the secure enjoyment of these having principally induced men to enter into society, government would be defective in it's principal purpose were it not to restrain such criminal acts, by inflicting due punishments on those who perpetrate them; but it appears at the same time equally deducible from the purposes of society that a member thereof, committing an inferior injury, does not wholy forfiet the protection of his fellow citizens, but, after suffering a punishment in proportion to his offence is entitled to their protection from all greater pain, so that it becomes a duty in the legislature to arrange in a proper scale the crimes which it may be necessary for them to repress, and to adjust thereto a corresponding gradation of punishments.

Whenever sentence of death shall have been pronounced against any person for treason or murder, execution shall be done on the next day but one after such sentence, unless it be Sunday, and then on the Monday following.

Whosoever shall be guilty of Rape, Polygamy, or Sodomy with man or woman shall be punished, if a man, by castration, if a woman, by cutting thro' the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch diameter at the least.

But no one shall be punished for Polygamy who shall have married after probable information of the death of his or her husband or wife, or after his or her husband or wife hath absented him or herself, so that no notice of his or her being alive hath reached such person for 7. years together, or hath suffered the punishments before prescribed for rape, polygamy or sodomy.

Why did they respect Stalin so much? They treated him like royalty and almost sucked his dick, despite the fact that he attacked Poland too and despite the fact that he was a nothing but a thug.

I've even heard that churchill and Roosevelt hated each other more than they hated Stalin.

Historically speaking, how did like business work in USSR? Would there be government implanted grocery stores and fast food stops? Were you allowed to claim any property as your own because its communism? Could I walk into St. Basils and call them out if they tried to escort me out?

>Business
Ministries, Worker Unions(Soviets) and Syndicates replaced companies and corporations, making everything owned by the state. There were no shareholders or stock markets as there were no shares in the system and the stocks were distributed by the state powers mentioned above. 'Private' property would include no more than a household with it's items and maybe a car if you're well off.

The government would have grocery stores implanted, as well as public baths, brothels and restaurants, no fast food though. In some places, in some time periods, food stamps were issued to most people, and good food was a commodity.


>Social Life
It was encouraged to SPEND all your salary instead of saving it and investing it into expensive shit. So people bought paintings, radios, trinkets and went on cheap vacations across the countryside rather than save up to buy a car. It would be suspicious if you could afford expensive shit if you made just about as much money as your neighbor, and said neighbor might report you, you'd be placed under investigation, you'd get your possessions confiscated and end up in jail.

Knowing you could end up in jail for nearly anything, people refrained from telling jokes, announcing going to church or gossiping about their bosses. Families were strict and there was little neighborly love, or friendships between colleagues, thus people married young.

>The system
Your way of going up in the world would be to get into politics, through hard work, nepotism and ass kissing you'd get into higher positions that could be considered 'boss-like', like administrators or supervisors. This'd get you prestige and effectively set you above your peers, it came with more money a lot of privileges. If you held enough favors with the right people, the local law could easily be bent to forgive your misdeeds. Snooping was highly rewarding as well, if you called out your colleagues and neighbors you received money and a better standing with the higher ups.

You guys seem to know a thing or two about genetic ancestry. What proportion of the contemporary non-native american U.S. population has at least some Native American ancestry? How does this vary from state to state?

Well I assume that /his/s obsession with gene ancestry in east Africa combined with cross posters from /int/ and their obsession with who is "white" might produce enough people who know about this topic, however armchair level.

>>2612897
Actually I almost forgot. I would also like to know about whatever happened to the natives inducted as neophytes in the California Missions. Do they trace down to the people in the modern reservations? Did they acculturate to Spain and essentially become part of the areas general Hispanic population? Did they just all end up on the blunt end of the eternal Anglo's murder spree?
>>
>>2612897
Probably 10% or so. This tends to be a little higher in more rural states or in states where natives were forced onto reservations. The relationships between white settlers and the native populace was also much much different farther east than west. Don't get me wrong they still got their asses blasted in Michigan but it was a long term multi generational butt fucking with better relations than the savage and forceful rectal prolapse that natives in south Dakota faced.
Interestingly enough there is plenty of people with a rather substantial native extraction who display pretty much no native features, I have a friend that looks like a stereotypical redheaded mick but his 23&me shows that he is slightly more than half native.
