We can ignore all the other nomadic tribes doing just as much evil shit as city dwellers throughout history the moment they have the opportunity and means, sure.
Several mass extinctions have been caused by evolution creating a lifeform that is too successful. The difference between humans and them is that we can recognize we are the problem and consciously adapt.
Some of us, anyways.
Regardless, that adaptation won’t be by abandoning agriculture.
The National Guard is not a militia, and it definitely isn’t the kind of militia you need the right to bear arms for. Militias are organizations of armed civilians that can respond to local events, while the Guard largely fulfills the role it’s under government control and does not meet any of the qualifications intended by the 2nd.
The intentions of the 2nd are relatively clear, historically. To have a population capable of defending itself from enemies, including their own government, arms must be legal and available.
Of course, the biggest supporters of the 2nd were the southern states. It also very clear, historically, that they were mostly worried about slave revolts. The rest of the support came from eternal border conflicts with native tribes.
It’s also very clear that they knew militias weren’t worth a whole lot in a pitched battle, only the Swamp Fox really saw them have any success, by generally being a, you know, terrorist.
Which is a lot of the problem with the modern concept of anti-government militia.
We don’t have slaves to repress, we don’t have Indians to genocide, all they’ve got left to do is plan on being insurgents. And there is a very thin line between that and a terrorist.
Still, I tend to agree with other radical thinkers on the matter.
The workers must not be disarmed, lest revolution against tyrannical systems become impossible instead of merely improbable.
The problem is it’s, quite frankly, just too late for America. We’ll choke to death before the people know their enemies.
William the Bastard of Normandy was the grandson of a fellow named Rollo the Viking.
Rollo had conquered the French northern coast and wrecked so much shit the French king just offered to make him a vassal, and give him more land in the process, if he protected the land he’d taken from other Viking raiders. This area would develop a hybrid culture from the mixing of the Germanic invaders and French population.
English, already a bastardized Germanic language, combined from the spoken languages of Germanic invaders who would come to be known as Anglo-Saxons and the native population, got further hybridized by a French Viking who actually spoke a French-Germanic dialect known as Norman.
Tl;Dr
Sea Germans hate linguistic purity, and English’s problems are all their fault.
Even though Netanyahu is Jewish, he knows using (and in this case abusing) the Christian bible is a good way to keep support going among US evangelicals and the new Speaker of the House.
Uh, they’ll get fuckin rocked like every time since the fall of the Ottomans.
One of the reasons all the Islamic fundie types get hard for a new Caliphate is there simply isn’t a Muslim nation that can defend itself against Western aggression, except possibly Turkey, and guess who they’re allied with?
The only wrinkle is that biologists might decide, presumably on genetic simularity, that red junglefowls and chickens are still the same species, like has been done with dogs and wolves.
That would mean the chicken came first, because it was the taming that made it a chicken.
