CGP Grey on how the decimation of American natives was essentially a foregone consequence of even peaceful first-contact with Europeans. Americapox:

i'm definitely not watching that, and neither should anyone else. I've seen some of that guy's videos and the ones i saw made him look like a guilty white liberal pseudointellectual. also, i don't care about that topic, and the culmination of such a thought in someone's mind makes me want to double down on avoiding hearing that person's thoughts

After watching the video, I think youre right about that guy. Most of the video is probably accurate but at one point he says something like, 'in the game of civilization, the players dont matter, only the map.' Basically saying that europeans had easier animals to domesticate, allowing us to advance more easily. He thinks modern cows are the same animal that was domesticated, unlike the bison which would be too dangerous to yoke a plow to.

This video here (is long) talks about the cow vs bison thing really well, and the absolutely idiotic (not even using that word hyperbolically) premise that ONLY land matters. You'll probably be left laughing at how badly the narrator uses simple logic to completely bypass the "incidentally" jewish author's "arguments". not kidding the author is jewish and he's talking all this nonsense. I'll save the juicy bits for you to listen to in the video because the delivery in there is accidentally humorous and the whole thing is put together as well as I could do or want.

i backed up that fucker's youtube channel because of his consistent home run swings with delivery and my style of articulation.

@Epictetus_Hierapolis funny you mention that book, i was going to link this comment to the video above. that book is written by a complete retard. I think i might have written something as bad as him when i was in 6th grade or something, maaaaybe 8th grade even, but going on 9th and 10th my teachers were good enough to get me to get my own head out of my ass had it been that far up there.

couldn't be bothered to make a wheel.

I'm still having difficulties understanding HOW they didn't come up with the wheel. They say there were those toys, but what's the story on those toys? Were they absolutely confirmed to be real? And if so, were they confirmed to be played with where the wheel carried the ostensible vehicle chassis? or did they just have something that looked like wheels... ?? i don't really know the question to ask here since i can't figure a way they didn't make the connection of how to utilize it. any source material on that?

It's the same with the Germs and Steel ploy of native Americans not having cereal crops like Europe, yet potato and maize crops are now an entrenched staple across the globe. The dumb fucks were dumping vast quantities of gold into lakes, but couldn't be bothered to make a wheel.
