Good thing we have archeologists, anthropologists and ethnographers for that.
Predator 5 is fucked already and I'm heartbroken.
That’s fine if you think that. I still say shenanigans, but there’s little I can do about it.
Ah, orientalism at its best. Edward Said was right.

Well, without a trace of irony that’s a valid point.
Post-Enlightenment Westerners have this weird notion that they know better than the Natives.
Even IF Comanche teenaged girls could be warriors, it’s clear she’s just starting down that path. The entire point, which so many seem to keep missing is that lowering the threat of a Predator to the point where a child with no guns, just sticks and shit can kill it is a terrible, terrible idea. We’ve gone from elite special forces unit, to experienced detective squad, to a group of deadly, but uncoordinated strangers, to a group of damaged vets, a magic scientist and a super-autism-genius kid to now a teenager just starting her warrior ways with sticks. Great idea!

I agree. Predators need a win. I’m getting kinda sick of humans always killing the Predator
Tbh, it’s not their virtue or achievement. It’s just the surroundings they found themselves in. If the geographic surroundings are best fit for pastoral nomadism - people will continue on with nomadic lifestyle. Prime example are the nomads in Central Eurasia who were still primarily nomadic (70-80% of Kazakh population) by 1920s. It’s just the most suitable lifestyle in that particular region.
Thus it’s not of kindness of heart or something like that, but because of lack of industrial power is why native Americans didn’t ruin the ecosystem. While nations of the plains when got access to firearms and horses depleted the population of Buffalo immensely. Once again, not because they were vile, but because they proceeded with hunting to survive, but with new and more advanced technologies.
While Europeans who in Rousseauan style were mesmerized with this “noble savage” myth invented the primitivism myth and started portraying and natives as some nature loving creatures instead of actual people who hunt and gather to survive.

Ah, an anarcho-primitivist approach! How neat!

I’d pay to watch someone having a scalping contest with a predator
There’s many factors for sure. Guns Germs and Steel, is a great book that details it. Necessity is the mother of invention, but available resources is the father. The point I make is a lot for all intents and purposes, if you want to compare native American impacts on the land, theirs was far less harmful ( from an environmental perspective) in the long run than European/post industrial societies. Weather they had the option or not.

They kinda sorta already did that… Complete with predator hatchet.
Believing they know better than others isn’t a trait exclusive to Westerner’s though

There’s that other guy Allah and his fanatics too.
Considering the fact that we do have evidence of voter fraud I don’t see why it was not ok for someone to call it out, if nothing else everybody is free to their own opinion, I did not see this happening when Trump was accused for years of Russia conspiracy. Nobody was banned from speaking about it.
Oh and for the record I am not an American, I am from Eastern Europe… I can safely say that with people like you around, there is no wonder the Western World is going to the shitter. Let’s ban and cancel people for believe in things we don’t like, let’s ruin their lives. Ok sure, enjoy yourselves. To bad the other side does not have to worry about it, even when comparing constantly half the country with Nazi!
PS. Nothing you said there was in her post for what she was canceled. Her post was about not demonizing your neighbor for having a different political view because that is how it started in Nazi Germany(neighbor attacking neighbor) just as well. Now considering the riots and how well things are going in America, I can’t wait to see the future.
I would like to give you an example:
I’ve seen quite a few of examples like this.
