mr enslave the natives to dig holes in the ground
to find more gold trinkets
what about the actual conquistadors who were just like fuck, kill these guys, raze their villages, farm shit
then go conquer hte people with real money?
Good morning, gentlemen.
GUTEN MORGEN
THE CONQUISTADORS WERE PROBABLY CLOSER TO PIRATES THAN WE REALIZE
SENT TO THE NEW WORLD AS DISPOSABLES
TO ENSURE OTHER EUROPEAN POWERS WOULD NOT GET THERE FIRST
@MRB COLONIALISM CAN BE VIEWED AS AN EARLY ARMS RACE
IF THERE IS A GIANT POT OF GOLD IN MEXICO, THE POWER THAT GETS IT FIRST WINS
FRANCE, ENGLAND, ESPAIN
GERMANY WAS SORT OF IN THE RUNNING TOO, BUT MORE INTERESTED IN AFRICA
I always saw it that way. Maybe not in the proper sense, but it certainly was a power grab in context of the times and troubles of the day.
Perhaps akin to how business views the moon and Mars now.
Comets too for that matter...
I don't think Musk does things for the shits and grins of it, basically.
My take: colonialism in the "classic" sense, though, was spurred due to Europe tapping out on resources for, as you put it, an arms race.
Money, power, greed, etc all in the vacuum of Europe with nowhere else to go.
@diversity_is_racism After thinking of the podcast, what philo movement started modernity? Was it just the absence of roman influence then dark ages to find a way back to a new path?

Turns out he's not going. Thank god.
@MRB MY GUESS IS IT WAS NOT A PHILOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT
RATHER, THE SUCCESS OF SOCIETY PLUS CONTACT WITH OUTSIDERS
THESE LED TO PEASANT REVOLTS
AND EVENTUALLY, THE ENLIGHTENMENT(TM)
Makes sense
ALL SOCIETIES SEEM TO DIE
THE KEY TO ME WAS THE MAYA
THEY DIED THE SAME WAY THE ROMANS DID
WITH ZERO JEWS OR CHRISTIANS PRESENT
THIS MEANS
IT IS SOMETHING INHERENT TO CIVILIZATION
AN OXIDATIVE PROCESS
Romans were Christians when they died.
CAUSE OR EFFECT
?
