@kilovh @Historycourses Nu

@hormeze We were always abrasive. עם קשה עורף was not meant as a compliment

@Historycourses I don't understand how the people of the book, the people of word magic, are this bad at this

The greatest evidence of God's special providence for the Jews is how we're still around despite being beyond abysmal at public relations, which is bad enough if you're a major power but catastrophic when you're a tiny minority.

@burner671134391 We're deeply in the red.

@Historycourses There are tons of tiny minorities that have existed for thousands of years without any special PR skills.

As I often say, we sure are dumb for a people so smart.

@kilovh I keep telling you there's more than the vapid quote accounts lol

@Historycourses my new fave jung

Jung on Communists.

@batmaccabee They share great-grandparents, not grandparents. It's really not a big deal

@Historycourses The only practical reason to choose this is to keep holidays easy (there is only 1 family's house to choose from)

Not to get involved with politics, but second cousin marriages were more or less normal in Europe (technically it was the outer bound for the Catholic Church, but dispensations were trivial to get). This is a very, very recent "ick." No significant risk of genetic defects either

@eigenrobot @orthonormalist I share the same sentiment, although it's not applicable to certain other European nationalities I bear a grudge against

Despite my distaste for their leftists, the average Spaniard does not deserve this punishment.

@NatulChet If I recall correctly it was more *common* in England than on the continent

@Historycourses Wasn't it parctied less among anglos compared to other euros?

@rlprsn @IlanBlock There was plenty of first cousin and niece-uncle marriages in there lol

@Historycourses @IlanBlock Not specifically, it was more that isolated endogamous communities were consistently marrying second and third cousins over the course of centuries to avoid intermarriage, so pairs of second cousins had much more ancestor overlap than a random, individual second cousin marriage.

@HHrvynia Lol

@IlanBlock Tay Sachs developed as a result of much closer marriages than second cousins.

@Historycourses Tay-Sachs disease would like a word

@Craftsman_Redux @RodeoProfessor We didn't win it. Putting aside Tippecanoe I'd say we lost it.

*Looks at my follower count after @RodeoProfessor xeeted about me* Okay, Craftsman, pressure's on to craft a banger. ... ... Who wants to talk about the War of 1812?

@IanBurkePerry The people too low to get dispensations never even bothered trying, they just married

@Historycourses Well, in the medieval era for Western Christians this was banned by default--I'd infer dispensations wouldn't have been typically available for average people?

Pretty certain it is ascertained that past maybe the fifth degree canon law was routinely ignored by peasants and nobody batted an eye x.com/IanBurkePerry/…

Important reminder.

@mrwittmayer Really did. Messed everything up and there's no going back

Life before October 7 2023 made everyone retarded and miserable and ruined everything forever
