RSSSure, RAF and USAF crew were grate to bomb the hell out of civilians and destroy infrastructure in the so called goal of “separating fighters from their civilian support” ans destroy their “will of fight”. Just as in 2006 in Lebanon, these tactics never works.
Fused civilian/military factories are more easily rebuilt than bombed again especially in a decentric system (small factory dispersed all over the countryside just as heroin factories in Sierra nevada or Laos)
It’s easy enough to see what the blacks are capable of. Just look at their achievements, or lack of, prior to colonization.
Or today in all their glory in all the urban areas of the United States clear back to South Africa. The dirt as they say, isn't magic. The results are always the same. And me, I'm a bad man for noticing.

“What’s curious is that the evidence presented for “objective” standards of beauty is no evidence for it at all! (And I do believe there is an objective sense to the word.) But the fact that the same thing is valued across cultures doesn’t really speak to this issue.”
This is a puzzling statement. Perception of attractiveness is similar across cultures. Objective standards could be thought of those that arise from beauty evaluation mechanisms that exist in all humans. The fact that beauty does not seem to vary arbitarily across cultures suggests that some form of “objective” beauty exists.
“Basically i think admixture models might vary between conquest and infiltration scenarios – for want of a better word to describe farmers hopping from defendable site to defendable site among a sea of HGs – with the first event in your model being an infiltration scenario and the second a step-wise conquest scenario.”
It would be interesting to see if they could look at mitcochondrial DNA and y-chromosome DNA to try to differntiate between these two because I believe a common pattern in conquest scenarios is for the conquering men to marry the conquered women and eliminate the conquered men.
I guess there was more benefit to be had in being Mr. Cohen than Mr. Corwynn….
"Though Amerindians in North and South Americas have been among the most oppressed and dispossessed people on Earth, there hasn't been much in the way of Amerindian uprising though in some Latin American nations, the indigenous folks outnumber the whites."
– Pretty much all peoples on earth have been dispossesd and opressed to an extreme degree at some point in their history. It just serves the left's purpose of pretending American white men are some kind of special evil for overemphasizing the narrative of Amerindians, to suppress the resistance to dispossession of whites by the Elites. The Celts were heavily decimated by the Romans. The Turkic people were wanderers because they were pushed from their lands. They in turn stole Constantinople. The Chinese feel oppressed by barbarian peoples, the British were invaded numerous times through the ages, to the point where much of the current British DNA is invader. The list goes on and on. No Amerinds were not docile little dogooders who were crushed by the evil white man. Amerindians ruthlessly attacked each other, and attacked the white man from practically day 1 here,with brutal savagery,through any way possible, no matter how much whitey tried to make peaceful deals with them. The first recorded instance of biological warfare in the Americas was by Amerinds intentionally poisoning the wells of European soldiers who were their allies against other Europeans. Its pretty much a given that all groups of people feel special in some way, even if they maintain it by delusions. Even the Amerind tribes tended to refer to themselves as "the people" in their own languages, with the implicit meaning that everyone else was inhuman.
In response to evolution being able to be expressed mathematically: Even if we can create formulas to express aspects of evolution, it cannot be a law because these aspects of evolution are normally things like “tendencies” (beneficial variations TEND to be chosen) and aren’t universally consistent like the speed of light for instance.
I’ve always liked Feynman’s “The Character of Physical Law” as far as explaining the nature of scientific law without falling into a long talk about semantics.
Due to its statistical nature, evolution and biological processes will never have the precision of physical laws, but if economics can get away with laws, I think a relatively low bar of empirical validation has been set.
