I have to agree with that starting clip, Jesus wasn't just "a nice guy", just a nice guy is a pretty hollow claim. He definately wasn't nice when insulting or outsmarting the pharasies, neither was he nice when driving the thieves out of the temple.

And today the Assyrians are all Christians. Praise Jesus.

This doesn't work because the issue with the Assyrians was the Assyrian Empire not individual Assyrian people. Outside of state violence the Assyrians before the First Assyrian Empire and after the last Assyrian Empire aren't known for their violence.

We really need the Assyrians to come back.

it was the first iron age empire tho.

So it is an economic stye and anxiety issue from what I can guess from this. Noice. However, it makes me wonder with that Nigeria example. Nigeria isn't demographically uniform ethnically, regionally nor in economic style. Which given fertility is tied to lower classes and rural economy means disproportionate population growth/decline which means huge internal migration that'll feel like the sort of syrian migration that Europe's complaining about but in one country. It'll be nice to follow.

@elinope4745 Isn't Christ usually considered one of the highest eminations of the monad? So how does this gnostic "Demiurge played on mankind was convincing them that he is God" apply to Christ?.

No, at the very least it is certain there was a linguistic identity there before the Armenian language and in the spirit of modern classfication based on language and ethnicity as a unit, they will be classified separately unless one can show how the linguistic transition occured without a change in identity.

@arsenicrice9990 Or the Antiquity understanding of the world while wrong was functional and fundamentally different from ours? Is Thales of Miletus a mad man for believing the world was made of only Water, what about Plato thinking like things attract and that there was a mystic world of forms, was he a mad man as well?. I know this liar, lunatic, Lord trichotomy for Jesus is something that was developed by a Christian so its sort of a gotya against Christian arguments but it never really convinced me.

I will keep recommending Motherism by Catherine Obianuju Acholonu. She dissected some of these bullshits of Feminism decades before any of you guys.

3:20 I don't think there was really any social commentary in Grave of the Fireflies, more artistic expression of events that remarkably affected the author. Given those events were literally his sister dying from malnutrition during war, there is really no way someone won't come out of that with more negative look to war. 7:10 I mean, u also have to remember that they have little.

4:55 No, there was some separation. Not in the modern post American and French revolution sense but you can think of the separation level as similar to that between capital/business and government in the USA. Different spheres that can intermingle but cannot be united, so there's no Pope Emperor for example.

But Nepal's not really prosperous and its happening there too so it isn't a prosperity issue. I think it is just economic style issue.

@OffGridInvestor The stretched from beyond the Zagaros to beyond Egypt, from Saudi Arabia to Lake Van. Event today that's still a large country and certainly it was the largest state that had ever existed at that point that we have evidence of. Also, I don't know where you get 32 cities from. Mesopotamia alone would have had more than that, talkless of including Canaan, Syria, Elam and Egypt.

@ArgentWolf95 I would make an argument that the hardest part is describing what you think up with words cuz by the very nature of words, it describes things you and an entire group of people have already seen before.

@elinope4745 "Who will number them, and who would that serve?" The Gnostics and Jews are who numbered them and they must have had their reasons for that. "It applies to the stories told of Christ rather than Christ himself" Do you assume there were never any accurate stories of Christ floating around?. "The formally accepted and appointed version has Jesus as an incarnation of the demiurge and not of the creator god" Given we're going full Gnostic interpretation here, the Gnostic gospel's character of Christ isn't really that different from the Canon Gospels, the difference is in interpretation of role. Marcion one of our earliest Gnostics only had access to the Canon Gospels and New Testament and he still came to Gnostic conclusions, so again, no real significant difference between the character of the Gnostic Jesus and the Canon Jesus. "tells that Lucifer is enemy to Jesus" Who's Lucifer? "The treachery is in that Jesus is somehow used as a symbol to promote the cause of the great deceiver" Are we talking about Satan here? What Gnostic sources/school are you taking your conclusions from?.

How can there be big cats in Britain? Weren't there like last there in the Ice age and the only extant species now only adapted to Tropical and Sub-tropical climates?. Won't they die in north temperate and oceanic England?.

It isn't driven by other demographics tho, it is driven by commies who are hoping to be able to use the inadequacy of other demographic to spark a communist revolution.

@SleepingGiant-2 because he is Sub-Saharan African, here.

10:35 No, I think the difference is the Indian tribal idenitity is defined more by indians of that same tribe, by the in group while racial idenitity is more created by out groups, whether it is whites defining blackness in its start of Anglos defining Italians as White in the arrival to USA.

How unique are these?. I haven't heard of a similar response to this to colonization in Africa, like there were religious responses but just local cults getting crazier, not assigning some divinity to copying the Euros but I guess there was a response to copy the Euros to attain their success but that played out in adopting the European religion and their practices(like schooling), not imitating their behaviours from afar like Cargo cults. I get that Euros came into contact with SSA when the tech difference was less but deeper areas should have still felt contact only when modern era tech was used. Is it like info on Euros diffused easier in Africa than Melanesia?. So I wonder if these cargo cults are more a manifestation of a previous Melanesian religious tradition. Like for example, the people that worship that English Duke also think he is like a reincarnation of a famous figure in their myth which certainly would be a local religious tradition reacting to change than a new thing. 9:57 Still a bad description cuz the Aztec and Maya were also still only using Stone tools(there was copper and bronze use in the Americas before the Euros but it certainly wasn't the Aztec or Maya using them) 10:22 Also wrong . Papua was one of the early independent developers of Agriculture and if this is from the Austronesian speaking Melanesian Islands then they also get the Agricultural package coming from China that the Austronesian brought with their migration. But I guess they were relatively isolate after that. Stone age and Hunter Gatherers aren't really as good measures of complexity and "advancement" as people seem to still think. 11:20 Understandable but not to be expected cuz as the fella said, most primitive peoples we have recorded didn't make that leap of illogic. Also I get why it is difficult to describe as primitive and child-like are still insufficient descriptors. 16:20 Yeah, this has to be a development unique to the Melanesian world view and not a general primitive contact with the outside world type thing given the several independent arisal which isn't something like what happened in other places. Melanesia isn't relatively close to south america. The pacific is like half the world in size. Anyways, the MesoAmericans of the Basin of Mexico believed that a Great Priest of theirs sailed East or Immolated himself and travelled spiritually east. This belief appears among the Chichen Itza Maya as that Great Priest arriving and founding the site of Chichen Itza, either dying there or going further East. So a popular variation of the narrative was that he will eventually come back from the East and the Spanish arrived from the East. So completely different thing from the Cargo cults. So it is just surface level similarity.
