@RickyDoggin All that for the customer to find a shaken up fly in the drink later…

@Cginseng5421891 @CarthageBoy @9mmsmg I would say they are more communalist than socialist. Japanese cultural practices don’t perfectly fit into the western economic ideologies.

@CarthageBoy @davidtnagy @9mmsmg They're much more of a socialist than we are, whether you wanna admit it or not.

@ConstantCate Many of the princesses would be given the religions in the era of the location. I believe Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel would also be Catholic.

@harukaawake @Rothmus The Japanese are everything America used to be. And I weep, for together we will be a force the world will never forget.

@AlfTheShumway @UpdatingOnRome That’s all factual, but it brings up the question of nationalism vs multiculturalism. If someone is genetically Egyptian but they are Hellenized, are the Greek or Egyptian?
English

I never claimed they weren't Hellenized. What I said is that they are not Greek.
When a power is the dominant superpower of its time, you inevitably adopt its culture, whether you like it or not. Look at today: the whole Balkans still carries Turkish cultural influences. British colonies still live with strong British cultural elements. But that doesn't make them Turkish or British.
We're currently living in American culture. Everyone has become Americanized — we watch Hollywood movies, drink Coke, learn English, add words like 'troll' and 'vibe' to our language, and celebrate Black Friday. Yet none of this makes us American. People just don't get it.
Yes, these people were influenced by Hellenic culture — that's correct. But they are not Greeks, and they have no connection to you.
Alexander the Great was heavily influenced by Persian culture too. He tried speaking Persian, gave Persian names to everything, dressed in Persian clothes, and lived the Persian way. Did that make him Persian? Of course not

At least 90% of the people called 'Ancient Greek philosophers' were not actually ethnically Greek

Which opinion about history will get you like this?

@AlfTheShumway @UpdatingOnRome I’m with you, but it’s fair to say they were Hellenized.
English

They were the native Anatolian peoples: the Hittites, Phrygians, Lydians, Carians, Phoenicians, Urartians, and so on. These are the Neolithic Anatolian peoples, and the ancestors of these people you mentioned also trace back to here. Every civilization has its own inventions — like the Lydians inventing money, the Phoenicians creating the basis of the Latin alphabet, the Hittites developing cuneiform script, and many more.
The Greeks first defeated and colonized the coastal Anatolian states. Then, with Alexander the Great, all these Anatolian states were destroyed and incorporated into Alexander’s empire. Later it became Rome. That’s why these peoples were called “Roman” (Rum) during the Ottoman period as well.
Genetically, these people have no connection to the Greeks. Greece at that time was like the America of its era — both more powerful and able to spread its language and culture. Its cities were more developed, but that doesn’t make these Anatolian peoples Greek.
Today everyone wants to speak English and study at Harvard. It was the same back then: people wanted to speak Greek and study in Athens. But these people were not genetically Greek at all. Even in ancient Greek sources, they didn’t call them Greek; they recorded their origins separately — this guy is from here, that guy is from there.
But the West fabricated a narrative by building “Western history” on top of Greece, and invented this nonsense. However, this story no longer works. Today’s Greeks are neither the descendants of those ancient Anatolian peoples nor related to them.
Historians and philosophers know this, but no conclusion is drawn because you are forced to write whatever the West says. It’s like how yogurt has been proven to belong to the Turks, yet if you want to sell yogurt in the US, you’re required to put “Greek” on it.
It’s time for this lie to end. The Greeks have gone too far with it. The Greeks are neither the cornerstone of the West nor related to it. They are an empty people who haven’t been able to form a proper state for 2000 years. The West means the Roman Empire, the West means Latin, the West means Catholic Christianity.
Even the Turks contributed more to the West than the Greeks did. You developed, united, and achieved religious unity because you were going to fight us.
For example, they even regard the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium) as Greek, even though 90% of the Eastern Roman emperors were not Greek — they were Armenian, Balkan, or Roman. But because Greek was spoken in the Eastern Roman Empire and they are the only surviving Orthodox group today, they act as if they are the heirs of Byzantium. No, damn it — Byzantium was Roman, and the Greeks were always subjects or slaves, as usual.
However, Western education doesn’t teach any of this. They almost don’t mention anything.

D’Artagnan joined later; the story was about him joining them.
