The key thing to understand about Wikipedia is whatever small faction cares most about a topic, tends to control it.
thank you Wikipedia for helping me understand Mao's legacy as a political intellect, theorist, military strategist, poet, and visionary who drove imperialism out of China, improved literacy, and significantly reduced poverty very enlightening
In contrast to this though something I found striking while reading The Iliad is that it both clearly describes a very violent patriarchal social context with numerous examples of coercive concubinage and wife capture, and is also filled with dozens of examples of men weeping.
bell hooks: "The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. 1/2
That is the most chonkiest fox I've ever seen 🤣
Kitambo I used to hide WhatsApp status from certain people. You know, separation of concerns. Like I wouldn’t want aunties and uncles seeing my Friday night escapades. Now, everyone gets to see the same version. You don’t like it, I can’t help with that.

Carthage as a city was at least twenty years ahead of Rome in terms of engineering and trade. The entire upper echelon of their society had filled itself with mathematicians, architects,and engineers, and together they had produced the most advanced city in the world.
Mishima embraces the Yomeigaku (阳明学) creed: "To know and not to act is not to know." To break through the "night of the world", heroic resolve is needed. Those who refuse risk sinking into the abyss of their own diminished existence.
Advances in forensic technology made serial killing a lot less easy, but that doesn't really explain what all the people who would have otherwise been serial killers put their energy into.
It’s weird that serial killers were a thing for like one 30 year period
You've got popular hereditarian anons who know so little about human history and cultural differences they've memed themselves into thinking Sub-Saharan Africa didn't have a history of agriculture despite their domestication of crops such as Pearl Millet, Fonio, African rice,…
They didn't really have "agriculture," though, did they? Not like the Middle East, Anatolia, etc did. Nor did they domesticate any animals (name one...) or even have pastoralism until quite recently
🙂Just did my genealogy, my last traceable ancestor was a Maasai man from Narok who settled in Nyeri. They named him Mbogo.

😠you mean we found bantus *doing very stereotypical bantu thing*?
And this is widespread, was it? The average Sub-Saharan—the people we're talking about here—was working his spread of land, tending to his "guinea fowl," his cattle (lol keep going here), cultivating his sorghum? That was the norm, when we found them?
