I don't know that I'd say the Romans or Greeks or Syrians or Ottomans or or ++ made accomplishments without breaking or exploiting others though. It is true white Americans seem to think it's been a long time that they've been in power and this is a forever thing. The USA assisted with WW2 and has been riding that through the last ~75 years, despite basically losing every encounter since. While it turns out that the US has sucked at winning wars for the last 75 years, it has been good at preventing wars through force projection and soft power. The latter is obviously now waning, but culturally America has managed to keep itself on top for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in both cases, the places that "white" people lived were vassals or conquered states to the Romans. Yes, white Empires (British, German, American) have succeeded in pushing forward the sciences, but only through the brutal subjugation or exploitation of other people around the world. I'm starting to think that white people were a mistake! I don’t know, man... fried oreos are pretty good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris- Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I wish people knew more about the actual logistics of USPS, and not just ‘they claimed they couldn’t deliver my package’ or ‘I waited a long time for stamps’. What they do behind-the-scenes is absurdly impressive, and goes far beyond what their retail-level operations would have you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
