Not just today. Europeans have been pursuing colonial subjugation of the rest of the world for centuries. Ever since Voltaire's time, in fact, and arguably even earlier. If you take a step back, Indo-Europeans are one of the most expansionist cultures in the history of humanity. They've been mass colonizing ever since their ancestors left the Pontic-Caspian steppe around 5,500 years ago. Their first victims were the natives of Neolithic Europe, where they displaced/exterminated the local men and took the women, and India, where they created the caste system with themselves at the top.

Subsequent Indo-European waves included Alexander's conquests in West Asia, the Roman Empire, and the various Persian empires, all of which followed the same basic pattern, but they became largely contained on land due to two factors: 1. the rise of Asian nomads like the Turkic and Mongolic empires, which defeated and drove them out of the steppe and 2. the constant competition from Semitic peoples, especially the Arabs, who basically kept both the Persians and the Europeans proper in check. Gradual divisions within the Indo-European sphere, especially between the kingdoms of Europe and that of Persia, further weakened their expansion.

Unfortunately, they found a way out of this land based containment about 500 years ago with the rise of the great trading empires of the Mediterranean. That, along with the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions, started them off on their second great migration, the result of which we are all aware of and live in the shadow of, today. The rest of the world really can't afford a third great Indo-European migration, but as it is, geopolitics necessitates working with certain Indo-European groups against others, because they've taken over so much of the world that you can't really afford to say you're going to make enemies out of all of them any more.
Yup this is something not discussed due to political correctness that once you notice you just can't shake it away, After a while even coincidence doesn't make sense it's almost as if a template and not unique to Indo Europeans either more like a product of natural selection by Eurasian steppe on its populations Mongol Yuan dynasty had a caste system in their governance like in India, Indo-aryan Sri Lankan pogroms against their Tamil minority were eerily similar to what Europeans did in Americas Turkic cultures were famous for their brutality back in the day, Even in China you could see the difference Northern Chinese historically have been exposed more to Nomadic population from steppe and they are more patriarchal,aggressive,tribal and sexist but also egalitarian than their historically more agrarian southern counterpart, in Steppe such a mindset makes perfect sense for survival, it's the same scenario in India as well Indo-Aryan majority North India and Dravidian majority South India are like two different countries in terms of mindset,culture,attitude towards women and priorities in life, perhaps genes affect our behaviour more than we would like to admit?

US navy is finding modernization is a lot harder than it looks.


Extremely based Brazil. How did this happen so fast?

Levi is using AI to generate fashion models that are diverse, instead of, you know, actually hiring diverse models.


In fact, diversity roles overall are now finding themselves without use in this economy. Guess it was just a fad to make more money off of BLM movement.

The guide suggests MSU community members use terms like "higher weight" or "larger-bodied."
Reminds me of Stanford's list:

TikTok is innovative, not cutthroat. For good or bad, it is changing the nature of social media itself and creating the formative experiences for Gen Z.

Both Shien and Tiktok use real-time data analysis to make their content faster and more adaptive than their US competitors.
Tiktok allowing longer video should go a step further and replace youtube. YT is extremely hostile to user and creators. Time for a reality check.

well, Northern Chinese has almost 0 Mongol influence. There's literally more influence on Northern China from India than from Mongolia due to Sanskrit origin words: 刹那 (ksana), 苹果 (bimba), 涅槃 (nirvana), 昙花 (udumbara).

Raise taxs or rather roll back the tax cuts. Reduce defense/veterens budget (its almost 1/3 of tax revnues!)

No need to worry. They are already on it with a 16% slash on coverage.

HHS estimates that as many as 15 million people stand to lose Medicaid coverage.

At the same time, more than 5 million children and 4.7 million adults ages 18 to 34 may get kicked off Medicaid, according to HHS.

An estimated 2.7 million people who could lose Medicaid coverage should qualify for tax credits under the Obamacare health insurance marketplaces. About 62% of those people are expected to be eligible for plans with no premiums. Another 5 million people are expected to be able to get other forms of coverage, primarily through their employer.
