yes a lot of cultures went extinct but not because they didn’t have writing. it’s because there was no one left to pass on the knowledge.

if we think about it from the perspective of contemporary indigenous people, they know how to read and write English but that’s a side effect of boarding schools. and it’s led to more intensive cultural extinction because of forced assimilation.

tldr: some tribes had writing before Columbus, some didn’t. cultural genocide is effective in both oral and written traditions

so all those genocides weren’t enough, you want a repeat with you at the helm?

there’s no evidence or even claim of there having been any kind of writing or system for making information durable

sigh it’s called oral history and it was working just fine before the settlers showed up

You are not very good at hiding your racism

American chauvinism at its best

reminder that Microsoft is on the BDS boycott list. the workers won’t be seeing any money from a 2016 game so you might as well obtain it through unofficial means 😉

queer rights don’t stop at marriage equality. we’re never gonna “win” as long as people reduce LGBTQIA+ to only the LGB rights

what Israel is doing in Palestine is a genocide not a war. the only way for both of these issues to go away is to abolish the aggressor state

TIL starvation is a choice. you are disgusting

you seem like the type of dipshit that assumes airborne viruses go away with handwashing

you only think masks aren’t needed anymore because your privilege prevents you from experiencing the full consequences of your violence.

the long covid community has been clear that you shouldn’t go outside unmasked for years now. if you decide to continue ignoring us, that’s on you. and no, linking science that doesn’t consult disabled people doesn’t absolve you from your dangerous views

On a final note, whilst we may speak of a time beyond the pandemic, we are still very much in the midst of one. We are not out of it yet. At the present time, the world continues to grapple with the Omicron variant

good job linking a source that disproves your own claim lol

MASKING IS A BASIC HYGIENE PRACTICE! washing your hands while hotboxing stranger’s lung cum in public won’t do shit.

endemic according to who? eugenicists?

vaccines don’t prevent long covid or infection. there is still no sterilizing vaccine on the market. going in public unmasked while vaccinated doesn’t absolve you from the disabling or deadly consequences of you infecting vulnerable people

ah yes, progressive eugenics

ah yes, let’s defeat the Nazis by dressing like Nazis!

the covid pandemic never ended, people are doing a dare every day by going outside unmasked

except that’s how pandemics get more deadly

they aren’t killing themselves, the system of exploitation is. please stop shifting the blame to some of the poorest people on earth who can choose between shitty jobs like this and starving

Reminder that the USSR collapsed because they got their asses kicked in Afghanistan
