@SamaHoole All of that is true, brother, but in addition to it, we need to recognize that many of the plains tribes went berserk killing them when the US Government was paying them per kill. I'm Comanche and I know my people did it. So we're at least partly culpable.

Native Americans followed buffalo herds for thousands of years. 60 million buffalo roamed North America. They used: - Meat for complete nutrition - Hides for shelter, clothing, and blankets - Bones for tools and weapons - Sinew for thread and bowstrings - Organs for nutrient-dense food - Horns for utensils and ceremonies - Hooves for glue - Stomach lining for water containers - Fat for pemmican (shelf-stable for years) Nothing wasted. Complete utilization. The Great Plains, where these 60 million buffalo lived, had the deepest, richest topsoil in North America. 6+ feet deep in places. Dark black soil. The most productive grassland ecosystem on Earth. Then the US military systematically slaughtered the buffalo to control the tribes. Kill their food source, break their independence. By 1890, fewer than 1,000 buffalo remained. Now we're told cattle, doing exactly what buffalo did, are destroying ecosystems. The same government that eliminated 60 million buffalo now lectures us about cattle's environmental impact. The irony is lost on no one who reads history.

A lot of people in the UK and Australia and New Zealand and elsewhere won't have spent a lot of time around Black Americans. So they won't understand why a restaurant owner would want to discriminate against them. It's simple. 80% of them behave terribly, will get in fights over nothing, won't tip even if the service is exceptional, and will generally bring the mood of the place down.

When restaurant owners start noticing the good customers and the ones who don’t pay their bill.

A small, very smug reminder for those who whom it needs pointing out, the horse was first domesticated not in Europe but on the eastern Steppe, around 3700-3500BC by the Botai people of northern Kazakhstan, who were a prehistoric steppe population. ...which makes them cousins to native Americans. You're welcome for the horses! Thanks for bringing them back to us! 🤣🤣🤣

A little addition about this which I needed to check on first, the horse was first domesticated around 3,700BC by the Botai people of northern Kazakhstan, who were a prehistoric Siberian steppe population with East Eurasian genetic ancestry. ...which makes them cousins to native Americans. You're welcome for the horses! Thanks for bringing them back to us!

My post about Natives decorating their horses struck a nerve with some insecure people. I get that as Whites you are under constant attack and racial vilification. But if you could please bear it in mind that I am constantly pointing that fact out to anyone who will listen, defending you, pointing out how necessary you are to the future of humanity, etc... that would be great. I cannot cover every base in every post and I don't want to. That post was about the practice of painting horses and why we did it. You can take for granted both that I know they came to us via the Spaniards, and that I'm grateful they brought them. That's a given. I suspect that some of these guys are selective in deciding when Spaniards are and are not White anyway.

Horses were essential partners in Native American life on the Great Plains; warriors and hunters swiftly developing a powerful tradition... painting their horses. These animals represented survival, wealth, and strength, so preparing one for battle or a buffalo hunt was never just decoration; it was a sacred ritual. Using paints made from earth clays, plants, and minerals, riders believed they could draw natural and spiritual power into both horse and rider, uniting them as one for protection and success. A painted warhorse carried symbols that told stories of past victories, enhanced the animal’s senses, or invoked good fortune against danger. For example, a circle around the horse’s eye sharpened its vision in the chaos of combat, while zigzags of lightning brought speed and stealth. Handprints marked success in close fighting, hoof marks tallied raids, and red streaks celebrated triumphs over enemies. Colors themselves held meaning; black for victory, yellow for a warrior ready to fight to the death. This practice extended beyond war to celebrations after successful hunts or raids, honoring the deep bond between rider and horse. In the end, painting a horse was like a prayer to nature and the spirits: a way to harness power, record bravery, and face the challenges of life on the plains together.

@LrdofthePlains Ah your wittle story is not accurate. Where did the horsies come from? ---- settlers. Along with the wheel. So. Reparations. Give back native land take back horse and wheel.

@downes_VZandt @clairlemon It seemed clear to me at the time that the IDW was just a kosher alternative to the Alt-Right, which was examining ALL of the major issues with society, then you had Curtis Yarvin and this gay gang come along and insist that all the problems started with the fucking Puritans.

@LrdofthePlains @clairlemon There was a time when ppl were dazzled by the whole "intellectual dark web" thing but it quickly became obvious that they were all just shitlibs pushing Bush era Israel worship.

The Odyssey is a long-form poem about a myth. It has a long history of being reinterpreted by artists, directors, & translators. Orson Welles cast Eartha Kitt as Helen of Troy back in 1950. Today's critics are culturally illiterate buffoons. quillette.com/2026/05/25/hom…
