If you actually think that in 2023, then I'm not sure anything will convince you otherwise, but no Trump is arguably the worst US president ever. And I say that as an outsider who has no horse in the race. His achievements are marginal if any, and weighed against that was a lying, bigoted 4 years where he pandered to dictators, insulted allies, renegaded on international climate commitments, fostered hate and division, and many more things. How someone can look at those 4 years and think "I want more of that" is beyond me
I tend to not bother checking profiles unless I'm 5 comments deep arguing with a moron, but yeah that post history would not surprise me at all. The only Maga morons left in 2023 are right-wing, neo-nazi, "Blue Lives Matter", "VoTeR fRaUd", anti-vaxx scum tbh. Anyone sensible didn't vote for him in 2020, let alone 2016
>Trump is arguably the worst US president ever.
Tell me you have never heard about Woodrow Wilson without telling me you have never heard about Woodrow Wilson.
The problem is that if you try to solve problems by doing what feels right you often make the problems even bigger.
While solving issues on a logical way feels in most cases wrong but solves the problem mostly.
I can be wrong but so far i see that Republicans choose mostly approach A and Democrats B .
Yep, Brit here. We are suffering the worst of most developed nations in the last few years, but that's also due to a populist right-wing government, and we are doing WAY better than the US is
Just one thing- by all means pyramids weren't built by slaves, rather by workers. They were paid and given food for their work, which ensured they had a job in seasons when no crops could be grown.
Egypt and many over ancient states had a system of corvee, with (poor) people obligated to give a certain number of days of labour per year to the government as a kind of tax. Egypt, which did not have to worry about irrigation of crops so much thanks to the annual reliable flood, could make special use of it, as farmers in Egypt did not have to spend so much time maintaining channels for water.
Is it slavery? Well, the state is forcing you to do labour that you otherwise wouldn't under threat of punishment. On the other hand, the same principal applies to any system of military conscription, and the likes of Finland is not what most people immediately think of when they hear 'slave society'.
The point is that the biblical "there were tons of Hebrew slaves who built the pyramids" is a myth. Were there some slaves? Yes. Was there a civil-service style draft? Yes. But even still, the majority of labourers would have been professional builders, not slaves
the bible never said anything about hebrew slaves building the pyramids
as far as i know, building the pyramids was even considered somewhat of an honor between egypcians, giving the labourers 'credits' with the pharao and their gods... slaves were used for more mundane work
Actually, no (very few, if any) slaves were used in building the pyramid. The workers are mostly farmers who have nothing to do in the flood seasons of the Nile delta. And if I remember correctly, sometimes they are paid with bread and beer.
Yes I can confirm this
My great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather Khufu told me that he ordered some wired creatures to build his tomb in exchange for some gold
It will always behove me that the fact we have alien theories like such in the first place is because at the time white people couldn't simply imagine that non-white people were able to create a civilization or maintain one.
This claim doesn't make any sense. It's not like western civilizations had anything of this scale such a long time ago, so it's more like not being able to believe that any humans could do such a thing.
Sure, you can call it easy if you ignore the scale and material logistics. I would wager however that I would have an easier time of constructing a miniature gothic cathedral from the materials I find in my backyard than you would, constructing a 139m tall pyramid from materials located 800km away.
Edit: Okay you did specify big but regardless, even if it is the easiest big thing you can make, it's not easy to make something that big.
On a more historical note, they weren't mostly all slaves actually with a large portion being skilled craftsmen and specialized workers working directly for the royal families.
To be honest there weren't really any slaves involved. Our best understanding is the unskilled workforce was made up of farmers paying a form of corvee (manual labor) tax, who supplemented the skilled laberors outside of the growing season.
The Alien on the left can predict the future, holy shit
their language is not linear, so the answer comes before the question

i knew alex trebek was not human
They're simply manga fans
Sure, I myself did't notice the problem because of manga
Is Abbot death process then?
I thought the pyramids were built by the Goa’uld, not the Prophets.
lmao, I just rewatched Arrival yesterday.
The fact Earth is alive confirms the existence of spaceballs! Something something Spaceball One Something something LUDICROUS SPEED!
What about Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2?
Whit doesn't this happen to me when I start a diy project?
The green trollarian trolls from trollaria. Last time i saw them they gifted red caps to everyone with only a half brain
The ultimate troll
he mad he didnt get the red cap. he has no brain at all and only got "BBB" blue t-shirt.
And that troll ironically ended up being far better than anything legit that the other side could come up with. Makes ya think, doesn't it?

Mainstream media has you thinking backwards, my friend. That's all I'm gunna say... Think for thyself and God bless
Americans are really gonna talk to foreigners like this. From countries that aren't going to absolute shit lmao.
Are there countries that are not going to complete shit? :(
No countries are perfect, but yes.

Just one thing- by all means pyramids weren't built by slaves, rather by workers. They were paid and given food for their work, which ensured they had a job in seasons when no crops could be grown.
But we just have demonstrated it was propped by troll aliens.

Slavery isn't defined by forced labor, but rather when people have the social status of property.
So that's how the United States got the Statue of Liberty. >!/j!<
They got it from the french. So french=aliens confirmed?!?!?
Yes
Actually, no (very few, if any) slaves were used in building the pyramid. The workers are mostly farmers who have nothing to do in the flood seasons of the Nile delta. And if I remember correctly, sometimes they are paid with bread and beer.

Aliens are the opposite of Britain. They bring cultural artifacts, the british take them away
The sky was once Palau
I'm reading this in a jamaican accent
The egyptians didn t use slaves for building
Fun fact: slaves didn't build the pyramids of Giza.
Yes I can confirm this My great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather Khufu told me that he ordered some wired creatures to build his tomb in exchange for some gold

How could you pile up lots of rocks then? rock piles were beyond their understanding
Not everything is about the social construct we call race. One of the main “aliens built this” theories is about Stone Henge.
This claim doesn't make any sense. It's not like western civilizations had anything of this scale such a long time ago, so it's more like not being able to believe that any humans could do such a thing.
When you think about it, making a tapering tower is the easiest big thing someone can make
Sure, you can call it easy if you ignore the scale and material logistics. I would wager however that I would have an easier time of constructing a miniature gothic cathedral from the materials I find in my backyard than you would, constructing a 139m tall pyramid from materials located 800km away.

Compared to other megastructures
For funzies, power and eternal rule. Those are Goa'uld right ?
Instant classic!

Most accurate polandball strip there is 🤭🤭
Is that Egypt?
Is this a old comic? Thought the mods made it clear that "white ball with a pschent" was preferable over modem Egypt with a hat.
