jl115:OH really, lol idgt my bad. |
mtisTheQubit:This is my g25 model run on the average afrikaner. It's rough but it'll do for now. In pic 1 you can note the closest European community to the Afrikaner is the Dutch. From pic 2 they're on average a lil admixed with SSA also their admixture profile isn't perfect since I'm not using the right sources probably, the Dutch isn't as elevated as one would expect for a community that's close to the Dutch.

jl115:Egyptians have not always been Arab, what are you trying to insinuate now Boer? |
jln115:For what matter, ignorance? Aren't you boldly claiming Africa didn't have any modern amenities here. jln115:& now you're retracing your stance. jln115:Catch me on, didn't you also write this? So what are we even debating on if you keep on pulling a Peter, disown-ing your wild claims with each reply to me? |
jln115:Are you that desperate my boet, whites didn't invent guns nor cannons that's the yellows invention lol & they didn't introduce them to Africans through colonization either. (Pic 1) Oba with guns in precolonial Nigeria. (pic 2) Ethiopians with guns. Several other communities had guns even before they were colonized, the Somali Adal sultanate used cannons against Ethiopians, the swahili had cannons & guns since the 15th century, Ashanti Ghanaians had guns, the moroccans & other North Africans had them. you only get credit for introducing the rapid fire guns & the nuclear tease in South Africa. Modern weaponry, Bayonet (pic3) a primary weapon in WW1 AKA spear/sword was already in use in all communities in Africa since before the Boer made it to the cape colony. Ask the Nigerians. We're talking precolonial Africa with respect to technology. White Americans colonized the Americas & Liberia, yes they're breeds off of colonisers but they didn't introduce shi@t in Africa through their colony, Liberia. There is nothing to discuss here. Submit to facts or keep your ignorance to yourself.
|
jln115:Introducing these things shouldn't be used as a testimony to support any of your misguided assumptions. Electricity wasn't even that accessible prior to the 17th century, modern sewarage systems till the late 19th century, they all greatly benefited from the recent industrial revolution. Still none of them were actually given to the native Africans for free as you'd like us to believe, Apartheid SA just 30 years ago had benches, stairs & beaches reserved for Europeans only talk less of the average Austine1213 |
jln115:Modern weaponry what is that? Tarmac last I checked they didn't leave much of that unless you have a source that clearly describes the amount of it left in comparison to the one built.Also white Americans weren't the ones colonizing Africa except maybe Liberia if you didn't know... |
jln115:There is over generalization, you need to compartmentalize. European colonizers didn't bring science. American developers made the internet. Fiber is credited to an Asian, literacy began in both Africa & west Asia. |
jln115:Can you list these "facts" |
mtisTheQubit:Asians actually perform quite remarkably given the chance, it's always intriguing to see the correlation of their performance to how free & fair a country truly is. In the USA Asian performance. Indians> Taiwanese> Japanese> mainland Chinese> Filipino> Pakistani> Koreans> Indonesians> https://www.pgpf.org/blog/2019/10/income-and-wealth-in-the-united-states-an-overview-of-data https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_United_States_by_household_income Am sure Elon musk has Inflated the south african (4) figure if not then kudos to the Boer, coloreds & blacks representing the continent.

tylann:Influence & power are sometimes interchangeable or at least they complement each other, influence can be projected through two means co-opt/attraction vs coercion, when one uses attraction & co-opt they're using their soft power while when they use coercion they're applying their hard power Hard power = using economic incentives or military, eg America banning Chinas goods & practically influencing who can trade with Iran, North Korea... or Russia & America sending their army into west Asia to engage in proxy wars for their benefit. Soft power = using culture, propaganda, information tech, language to influence decisions, it isn't as effective & it surely takes time to mature eg using movies, music to influence capitalism & other media sources say news agencies to support & further the gay & alphabet agenda, & other world corporate agendas, it has also been used by the US to alienate China by representing them as the new colonial masters. US unlike the rest of the countries in the world can comfortably use any of the two to their will that's why they're the undisputed world superpower. vankelvin:I agree but Russia almost always uses its hard power to influence decisions. That's why she somehow gets overshadowed by the US at every turn, take ww2 for instance, they sacrificed a lot & were the true winners of that war still the victory is almost always claimed by the US. IGpro1:Japan has the soft power, it's Culture is clearly quite influential & on par with the UK, France, Spain, India & South Korea, there are people learning karate to defend themselves or learning Japanese just to watch their Anime & eating raw meat, sushi, just because of Japans influence though America has the edge compared to that group though I mean everyone wants to play basketball, be a rapper, own a Lamborghini, earn them dollars, talk cool in AAVE & be represented in the Disney movies lol Russia has more of the Hard power & can coerce their way if they want to. When it comes to Africa. Egypt, Algeria, Morocco & South Africa have the semblance of Military hard power, only South Africa & Egypt can successfully project their power over vast distances though. South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Kenya & Ethiopia have some of that economic hard power. Though South Africa is over represented here. When it comes to soft power Ethiopia, Egypt, Nigeria, Rwanda & the swahili states are at the top. For Egypt it's the ancient mysterious culture. For Nigeria the movie & music industry. For Ethiopia it's the historical significance especially in the colonial & post colonial Era they even gave birth to a new religion Jah, I & I. For Rwanda propaganda. For Kenya & Tanzania it's the language, swahili. Clearly from this excerpt one should expect a list that looks more like this. Tier 1. Egypt, South Africa. Tier 2. Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya. Tier 3. Morocco, Algeria, Rwanda, Tanzania. |
AskiaHarem:Correlate but don't equate poverty to extreme poverty... Nigeria leads in the latter. |
mtisTheQubit:That dude isn't even that archaic. Isaiah had the same average sized brain of a human, he lived for many years alongside many theorists, doctors & other scientists of that time, enough that his information was influenced greatly by his surroundings. So it's not had to understand his assertions were man made & not from aliens. Isiah 47:13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you. People from as early as 15,000 years ago had the means to understand astronomy, space & time in fact they even had a Callender, season's & everything within their grasp to study celestial objects including our own planet. The first astronaut https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wan_Hu#:~:text=Wan%20Hu%20(%E4%B8%87%E6%88%B7%20or,by%20rockets%20into%20outer%20space. Attempted to travel off the planet way back 4,000 years ago.

mtisTheQubit:Folks weren't that obtuse, people just over generalize. They didn't all had texts or left that much information to be thought of as being that ignorant. |
Saddamochieng00:Bruh are you being serious right now? you really don't remember anything you learned in chemistry. Meniscus curves on liquids occur (pic1) & they are caused by action of either adhesion or cohesion depending on the situation & the properties of said liquid (pic2) adhesion would normally lead to a concave meniscus (A) while cohesion leads to a convex meniscus (B) The water in your glass will curve not by action of cohesion so don't expect it to curve downwards but by adhesion hence the meniscus curve won't be convex but concave (pic 3) so you might miss it if you're not keen enough or in a vantage position, either side. This property also applies to larger liquid bodies like oceans, lakes... though the curve does change to a convex meniscus due to action of gravity & surface tension leading to these large water bodies curving downwards even after curving up, notice the tidal waves or even the shapes of the currents & also as it's seen from a vantage point, above (pic4)
|
mtisTheQubit:Local civilization (type i, ii, iii) are achievable with our current understanding of science. & they're all civilizations capable of Terraforming. Terraforming other celestial bodies has been discussed enough & we're in the process of starting the early phases on our moon, venus, Mars & if possible Jupiter. The moon, Venus & Mars will be Terraformed to host a chunk of our ever expanding population while Jupiter will be Terraformed into our second sun. |
kikuyu1:Thats due to heavy Nilo-saharan admixture, though the admixture happened at different times for all the groups. Migrating nilotes (pic 1) are responsible for the cattle culture found even among Southern African & Tanzanian Khoisans since their wave diverged into two, one that proceeded downwards all the way to the cape coast of zuid Africa that left significant reference markers to the group & the other migrated west towards DRC that also mixed with waves of incoming Bantu groups. North eastern Bantu groups like the Tutsi, hema, bunyoro, Ankole... from Rwanda/Burundi/Eastern DRC/Western Uganda & North Western Tanzania (pic 2) have that nilotic/Dinka autosomal dna that links them to these early nilotic nomads. Similarly central Kenyans like the Kikuyu/Embu/Meru/Kamba (pic3)

Annael:Nice... |
Annael:At their peak these city states were indeed marvelous, can you post more swahili ancient cities & ruins throughout the east African coast. |
mtisTheQubit:Bro while this might be true it doesn't & shouldn't always apply to all cultures. Arabs/Muslims aren't seen as effeminate or cross dressing whenever they put on their robes neither, the east asians, south asians, popes, priests, or other religious leaders. Our view on masculinity is unfortunately shifting willingly towards western cultures version of masculinity. |
Austine1212:Wealth, not gdp. |
vankelvin:Go through this link. It has little to do with religion. & it's practiced by different groups of people with a diverse background. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_as_food |
vankelvin:Raw blood is actually packed with essential minerals, for a closed community like the Maasai it was necessary & a healthy substitute for salt, since salt in ancient times wasn't readily available & humans require it in elevated amounts to counter water loss. & no it's not Witchcraft. |
rvp2018:True especially the ones in nyeri &... Kenyan Luos must've initially mixed heavily with Ugandan bantus before entering Kenya, after which they've been farther mixing with neighboring bantus like the suba-luo/kisii/luhya/kuria in Kenya. This is probably due to their culture of assimilation & polygamy.
|
mtisTheQubit:Yes don't listen to me, try listening to facts instead.

Saddamochieng00:Dude what did the Ghanaians ever do to you, Mbona unadrag issues za nyumbani hapa bro? |
rvp20182:
|
rvp20182:Kenya reps SSAfrica globally. Even at use of the internet ![]()
|
rvp20182:Nope it's not omitted in fact It's actually among the best world-wide in terms of domestic health affairs.
|
Just30:Well here are some few tables I found interesting.
|

last I checked they didn't leave much of that unless you have a source that clearly describes the amount of it left in comparison to the one built.
