The white gunman who killed three Black people at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida, over the weekend wore a Rhodesian army patch on his tactical vest, law enforcement sources say, a reference that has been used before during white supremacist attacks.
The patch — representing Rhodesia, a former white minority-ruled territory in southern Africa in the 1960s and ’70s that would become Zimbabwe — is yet another symbol of how the shooter, Ryan Palmeter, was racist and was influenced by racist ideology, investigators say.
“These immigrants are colonising the natives, we must protect EVROPA”
“Yass, white immigrants colonising African natives! Rhodesians never die!”
The way they see it, to be white is ‘civilised’ and to be black is ‘uncivilised’. That’s why the first instance is considered bad and the second is considered good. See also: Ron DeSantis and ‘positive’ outcomes of slavery.
Without mentioning how stupid it is for americans to ramble about protecting the natives (of Europe) considering what they did to theirs
That’s all part and parcel of the same thing, kill the uncivilised natives and then erect cities named after ancient Greek and Roman places to show off your civilised status.
There are ways to “civilise” (AKA cultural assimilation/imposition) that don’t imply murdering the natives. In fact, that’s what the “civilised societies” of the Greeks and the Romans did.
That’s basically the reason why demographics in the old world have barely changed apart from small percentages of DNA, but the Anglos had to be different while LARPing as the Romans
You know what’s even funnier? Europeans aren’t native to Europe either. The Proto-Indo-European people likely arose in the Central Asian steppes. And they “invaded” Europe and either killed most of all the ACTUAL indigenous Europeans (jk… before non-PIE Sapiens there were the Neanderthals, and perhaps Erectus before them we still don’t know), or, get this, outbred them. And for sure interbred them out of existence.
Only the Basque remain. Maybe.
Im just gonna point out that the Indo-European migrations most likely werent bloody conquests. They took tgousands years, its probable that the expansion was a mix of cultural expansion, conquest, and ruling class inter-mingling (think normans) that is to say it was probably not some grand bloody conquest but a general shift over millenia. Though the Hittites probably were an example of general conquest of a region.
Also the Neanderthals were probably going extinct before homo-sapiens moved into Eurasia, or atleast had a pretty nasty population collapse.
The Neanderthals likely had very low populations to begin with. And I know it likely wasn’t conquest.
We can’t rule it 100% out, but as I said, the PIE mostly outbred and interbred the og europeans away. Which is ironic because that’s what modern Europeans say will happen to them.
Ok wasnt sure, the way you put it sounded like you thought it was abject conquest. Also I find it funny since as I understand it immigrants in europe are usually assimilated within three generations.
It’s always projection… Europeans know they can’t assimilate and destroy every culture around them. So they are deathly afraid it to be done to them.
Thats best seen with the French, who basically tried colonizing all the cultures who werent from around Paris. And the English aint got a right to bitch about minorities, ya dont get to bitch when you conquered half the fucking planet.
