Hexboare [they/them]

I don’t understand what in my post you’re disagreeing with?

I mention China once, here:

Even at 1500 CE, China and India’s estimated domestic production massively outstripped Europe and it wasn’t until industrial capitalism kicked into gear that this changed

I don’t see how that’s incompatible with your view and quotes, and I agree with them.

there was a deliberate attempt at deindustrialization of Asia through policy. The looms of India and China weren’t defeated by ‘the market’ but they were forcibly and violently dismantled through wars, invasion, opium and one-way tariffs

Yes, industrial capitalism. You can’t carve out and divorce the trade and market aspects of industrial capitalism from colonialism, mass expropriation, industrialised slavery and invasion (among others) any more than you can carve out kids in England getting their limbs wrecked in machines or workhouses.

That’s not to say you can’t ever have an industrialised capitalist society without those aspects, but when we’re talking about the specific historic form and character of industrial capitalism and why Europe and it’s colonial satellites subjugated, at one point or another, most of the people in the world over the last 500 years, that’s absolutely part of it.

There’s a limit to how much capital accumulation you can achieve in one country compared to sailing around the world and stealing labour, land and resources from everyone you can.

While the general principle is the similar, the impact of “the dunk tank” on Black men in particular is so much worse than the connotations of gossip

There is also work to reclaim gossip as a gendered term owing to it’s contribution to women’s solidarity and safety - there’s no similar attempt for “dunk tank” and I’m not aware of anything positive arising from brutalising people of colour for entertainment

I’m trying to thing of a similar phrase to dunk tank that’s been decontextualised, I’ll post again if I think of one

Yes.

You posted this on your account that’s been inactive for a year, so I can’t tell if you’re a long term dedicated poster that would be a big loss to the community or not

Also the megathreads is usually where the best posting is at

Like all American remakes, this is the dumbed down but sometimes funnier version

Edit: deleted the post, I don’t care anymore and will just block the gossip community

Next time maybe consider appointing mods who don’t hate the tanks, because I haven’t seen anyone on the mod list that enjoys it

The first major work was The Other Side of the Frontier in the 1980s, with a follow up published in the 2000s “Forgotten War”.

The history of the frontier wars and genocide has been largely hidden by mainstream academia - Aileen Moreton-Robertson (feminist Aboriginal woman who has some great work on Black epistemology and current issues in Australia) noted that:

the first Native American graduated from Harvard University in 1665. In Canada, the earliest First Nations person graduated from Dartmouth University in 1781, and in Aoteroa New Zealand, the first Māori graduated from the University of Canterbury in 1893. However, in Australia the first Aboriginal person, Margaret Williams-Weir, graduated in 1959 from the University of Melbourne.

By 1976, nearly two decades on, only 78 Aboriginal people held university degrees in Australia

There are ongoing debates as to whether Aboriginal Australia suffering a loss of 95-99 percent of the population in the hundred years following colonisation can even be classified as a genocide, with new massacre sites being identified every year.

The government only withdrew the military from Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory last decade, so it’s understandable why the scholarship is not as advanced as it is for the Americas.

Hey now, there’s also poultry farms and cow farms

Briton is a mix of all those peoples, the Anatolians didn’t wipe out the original Britons but intermarried and stuff

I don’t believe there’s any genetic evidence for the Anatolian or prior populations surviving.

Half a century to entirely destroy a people. That’s unprecedented.

It happened again in Australia, which despite massacres and genocidal actions similar to the Americas (e.g. destroying sources of food, water and shelter, poisoning water holes and so forth) the overwhelming majority of death was from disease, which would be an inevitability in any large scale contact scenario.

We don’t have much evidence of the extent to which disease transmission impacted other migration events because the old world was very quickly connected by trade.

Slave labour was not a uniquely European tradition (the large scale industrialisation of it certainly was, don’t get me wrong on this point) and I think without the rapid development of agrarian and industrial capitalism the population of the Americas would have largely rebounded from the apocalypse that was European contact. Like we don’t generally look at Carthage or Mongol-conquered places as subject to genocide because the local population eventually rebounded even where a huge number of people were killed.

I’ll have to read it, it sounds interesting

Edit: of course we also don’t consider those genocides because the modern conception of race hadn’t developed by that point, itself driven by the need to justify the European brutality in the Americas

Europe was pretty much a backwater until the late 1400s* and England had the unique conditions to develop agrarian capitalism and later industrial capitalism.

While the general impression for the last 500 years is mostly correct, it is pretty anti-materialist.

Settler colonialism in the new world for the first few years, for example, was not radically different to the “settler colonialism” that occurred numerous times prior (e.g. Anatolian stone builders colonising Britain displacing the original inhabitants, then being replaced by Britons, then occupied and integrated with Germanic Anglos and then Normans if I recall correctly).

*Even at 1500 CE, China and India’s estimated domestic production massively outstripped Europe and it wasn’t until industrial capitalism kicked into gear that this changed

I have it on good authority that we have moved past accounts like yours; my sincere apologies.

Canadian Pacific Kansas City yesterday reported fourth-quarter 2023 revenue of CA$3.8 billion, up from $2.5 billion in Q4 2022, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.10 and core adjusted combined diluted EPS of $1.18.

The operating ratio (OR) climbed 200 basis points to 61.8% while the core adjusted combed OR decreased 220 basis points to 58.7%.

Canadian Pacific Kansas City had 19,927 employees as of December 31, 2023.

I don’t understand bonus points? What is the purpose and why are they not ordinary points?

This is actual human nature

blinks

Because it already exists?

The picture is wrong about the Australian/China plugs, one of them should be upside down

Maybe it’s this Catradora person and she’s under a new name*
