never seen such a bunch of 9-dash fantasies. the logic they use to posit these idiotic claims is breathtaking.

Well that's where t-rex lived

Does this also apply to Native Americans or...?

[-] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 36 points 23 hours ago

Native Americans have a different claim. They are not claiming their ancestors give them the right to use the land. They have agreements with the US government. The US then promptly turned around and ignored their promises. The native Americans have the receipts.

Agreements about historical land ownership only apply to white people!

Blood and soil nationalism is ok when it's promoted by non-white people.

Hungarian ultra-nationalists: "Since your kind was under my ancestor's rule, you have to rejoin my country and learn my language, or else you're a [incoherent antisemitic screaming]!"

Even better is that the guy is 42 with no kids. I get that we all technically have ancestry that goes back to the first life on the planet, but this guy suddenly happens to have verified family lineage that goes back farther than any other human on the entire planet... And he's the last one.
I pray that he consciously chose not to have kids... I know how soul destroying it can be to want to have kids but not be able to. But this guy... He suddenly, because someone needed a warm body to fill out their numbers to a nice round number, is directly confronted by a family lineage 9000 years old. And he's the last. What an absolute mind fuck.

H-how did they get spouses? Nevermind, I probably don't want to know.

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Spouses can move to the village, it's just that the children never leave.

At least one parent was born in the village.

Inbreeding mastery level: British

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

"Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his inbreeding levels?"

"IT'S OVER 9000 YEARS!"

[-] karashta@lemm.ee 118 points 2 days ago

You forgot the part where the komodo dragon's "promised land" was full of Phoenician Canaanites they had to genocide first.

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The same Canaanites from Noah's son because after everyone was killed by a flood, God deemed Canaan's blood the good people worth saving?

He sure seemed to fuck it up and have to wipe out humans quite a few times. But that's what you get for putting a tree in Eden for no other reason but to introduce sin to the innocent and trick humans into thinking Lucifer was the evil one.

And now he loves America. Just don't tell the Italians.

Starting to see a pattern of bad outcomes for whoever makes a deal with this guy at the time...

Imagine Mongolia just started invading China and be like "MY ANCESTORS USED TO LIVE HERE"

Imagine the Australians descending on London like "Oh yea nah me bluddy rellys is fully from here aye!"

Birds: Um, akshully, we're more closely related than you are!

[-] InputZero@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

They probably looked a lot more like birds than reptiles too because taxonomically speaking birds are actually dinosaurs.

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago

Chickens 100% are just mini T-rexes.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Cassowaries make a lot more sense when seeing T-Rex like that.

[-] spirinolas@lemmy.world 54 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The irony would be even greater if they were kicking out birds who they accused of displacing the ancient Dinosaurs.

[-] Korne127@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

The problem is that this argument can really be made both ways. If someone said Israel shouldn't exist because Palestinians used to live there before that, that's just essentially the same argument.

[-] kerrypacker@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yep, maybe they could have a big fight, winner takes all.

[-] uzay@infosec.pub 60 points 1 day ago

Israel shouldn't exist because it's a colonial apartheid state perpetrating a genocide. That doesn't mean every non-palestinian has to leave either.

Neither argument hold any merit and is an example of the tyranny of history. Who cares what a bunch of dead assholes thought was theirs? The people who live there (not the politicians who pretend to represent their interests) are the only people that have any legitimate claim to authority on what should be done about the region.

[-] uzay@infosec.pub 9 points 1 day ago

It is especially meritless to equate people who claim the land based on other people sharing their religion having lived there a thousand years ago, with people whose grandparents got kicked out of their houses and who've had to live in an open air prison ever since while being subjected to regular attempts at ethnic cleansing.

[-] Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 1 day ago

But saying that Israel shouldn't exist doesn't mean that the Israelis have to leave
