A tribe in the region. Though Yahweh is not from the Levant or Egypt, seems he arrives in Egypt from farther east

iirc they are a tribe of Canaanites and eventually win out. There is a theory that they practiced Monolatry, the worship of a singular god, but without denying the existence of other deities. The Dead Sea Scrolls mention many sons of Elohim and make mention to the gods of other nations, which are defeated by El. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kpkp2vxX3I

That’s not really a culture of colonizers even during the height of Ancient Erin. A possible analog for a past group that very well could be a stand-in for inter proto-Irish conflicts as much as inter Gaelic ones is so tenuous at best. Most cultures have something like this, and it would be tantamount to saying there was an inherent colonial culture in the Ho-Chunk people because the Wąge-rucge man-eaters might be a cultural memory of another tribe their ancestors fought against.

There is a world of difference between human migration and conflicts arising therein and what we would identify as colonialism. Why even bring it up as such? Plus the Tuatha De Danann from even a quick search seem to be theorized to be Gaelic gods recontextualized into a post-Christianization culture. So it is literally not even from a culture of colonizers, but the reformatting of their own beliefs to a context of a cultural conversion. They seem to have come to mean “folk” or people much later and originally the term implied godliness. And then there is the PIE stuff and war between gods with humans in the middle which is foundational to a ton of places meaning it could either be remnants of a way more ancient myth shared with the Vedic and Norse etc, or a recontextualization of unique traditions subconsciously along the same lines as more eastern Europeans and Indo-European cultures. Least that’s how I view the Iliad elements in Irish myth, maybe a shared tradition or more likely later writers put characters and stories into a structure they already knew, ie the most recited myth in Europe.

We really need to be careful with history and modern terminology/conceptions. Cultures did not really remove one another necessarily, nor can we accurately talk about Bronze-Age and earlier cultures in strictly defined terms. We use names given to types of pottery we find to describe a general human presence in a large area across thousands of years. It is broad and ambiguous on purpose. Hell even more recent cases like the Germanic “colonization” of Celtic England is WAY more ambiguous than previous historians thought.

For that history and a good object lesson on how complicated human migration is to decode there is a great video by CambrianChronicles on Brythonic Britons and how they never disappeared https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FHRTpEhaAs

And that’s not to say that there was not a colonization and resistance in that case, far from it. There we have a material understanding of both cultures that can be defined even if the lines between the people of them is nonexistent in a practical sense. CambrianChronicles has several videos including one I LOVE on Arthur that drive home how originally Welsh/Briton Arthur was essentially a propaganda character for anti-imperialist movements. My point is the distinctions quickly disappear and framing there as being such a thing as “culture of colonizers” in a time when people hardly if at all identified themselves as having a culture is silly, applying it as far back as the etymological history and patchwork shifts in linguistic groups of the Bronze age is downright ahistoric. Especially with Celts, the very definition of which is hotly debated.

Another good POV is the short but wonderful history of the Bronze Age Collapse “1177: the year civilization ended” which shows some amazing research on how crises cause mass migration and why old models of how ancient Greeks came to Greece are pretty off base, with what was thought to be an invasion from the west by the Dorians might’ve been large refugee movements from Asia Minor which coincided with populations from Mycenean Greece fleeing eastward due to their problems. Heck the Sea Peoples are very possibly a phenomenon of various refugee crises and/or desperate moves by kingdoms we know for sure about trying to stay alive during what must’ve felt like an apocalypse.

My phone pushed that this morning, made me laugh. They are so divorced from reality but still have to catch up to it sometimes. It is so flagrant you end up catching yourself for a sec

Horrorfying. I only just found out about this when hearing that my family there is thankfully ok.

Its so good. My game is fucked tho, my screen flickers and has the worst graphical glitches i’ve ever seen if I open the menu during a mission. I am glad I beat the game before this started

Wasn’t TOTK born out of some mechanics they originally planned as DLC but needed to expand on? Maybe I am wrong, but I do get the mindset of moving forwards. I do honestly hope for something not BOTW-esq soon, but without a handheld consol that seems unlikely

It’s the crown all over again

After Legends we all know what we want more of. Though would be nice to get something spin-off oriented again

I would have rather a Let’s Go Johto game for S&Vs spot so those could have a longer development time. Let’s Go is such a good way to get older fans back in and showcase older games to younger kids

Literally just conversations are “disinformation” fuck liberals dude. This shit makes me want to see them get their ivory towers destroyed and all their self-delusions come tumbling down. Dead kids in Donbas are not a rhetorical trick you sick fucking bastards. Human lives are just games for them. How do they not see how dystopian this shit is? How completely this looks to use their parlance

I thought they did split in Fallout. The USSR is on friendlier relations with the US by the time the nukes drop

As a great man said https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCldL_qukLQ

also they can just switch to “it was a good thing”

By linking the two and spreading outfight fascist “double genocide” shit they are going to make it so opposition to double genocide, any attempt to criticize Finland for its active role in the Holocaust and Lebensraum is “holocaust denial”

Also how do we not have a “Finland_Cool” emote?

God that was one of the worst arguments I’ve ever seen here. I avoided openly commenting as best as possible

That and of course the multiple literal invasions during the Russian Civil War. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfmqvkwZzGQ

Ah glad someone else is aware of the second Schleswig war. The ACW was nothing compared to the moral battle going on there. Anyone who brings up the Confederacy is just like those tankies mentioning Azov and the shelling of Donbas.

The daily bloodshed of capitalism is such that the dictatorship of the proletariat is the only means of progressing historically. The proletariat is the progressive class, not in the social sense but as in the mode of production and form of society. That is the goal. Without bloodshed means that without bloodshed is the goal, with socialism being secondary at best. It would be ideal for sure, but it is also historically proven to be impossible, and as a means supplants the necessity of socialism.

God I can’t believe you hate Belgians and the French, why must you be so against them being shredded by artillery and choking on mustard gas? Don’t you know that Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori?
