@7a91c4f1 i didnt really care what he had to say i was just using those specific paragraphs that i otherwise knew were true as an opportunity to say thoughts i had, i tryed to look at the argument but found it uninteresting
@Kerokeronim i think its entirely fair to assume that foreign populations were imported for similar reasons to what is happening now, i think hes over speculating about christianity though, i dont think any of the comparisons between sovietism and christianity actually pertain to the roman situation, though they are related in other ways.
the data isnt shit it shows something happening that wasnt happening before, the 50% is supposed to come from roman sources.
hes not really being antichristian so all his bad intention could be is internet points anyways
@Albastı@Kerokeronim Is the point to pretend that non-Romans weren't moving to the city before Christianity?
this isntva point being made so no also it starts well before that, christianity was just popular in that urban environment where that is already the case
@Kerokeronim they also arent levantine which is what roman cities were becoming, slaves imported got given citizenship literally got given the emperors names as a surname, i gues thats probably not the primary source of middle eastern acestry but who knows, i dont think ive seen something that detailed, all i know it italian population increasingly became levantine, rome collapses then its suddenly back where it was because cities are genetic dead ends full of diseases
@Kerokeronim it really didnt though, they had to get imported and given citizenship, they didnt move into the countryside in any noticible way, im not sure if it was travel stopping them or resistant local populations though

"
DNA shows at this point (the Empire) that Roman population swings dramatically towards the Middle Eastern DNA
The original Roman population has now experienced a "Great Replacement" similar to what the West is going through
Sources, like Tertullian, tell us that Christianity was an "urban movement" - he boasts how the power bases of Christians are the cities
Pagan is actually a slander word for "country bumpkin"
Pagan is a term used by the urbanites to address the Roman "rednecks" or "flyover states"
The Empire converted when only 12-14% of the population was Christian - but due to their influence in the cities they had a lot of institutional power
"
arian christianity(it mapped br
etter on to thor odin and similar bibary systems) was popular on peripheral pagans as well but based on the julian reform and the similar russian one, these sorts of pagans only had 2 or 3 gods, which isnt there natural state, pagans actually with rome in the ruralpersisted a very long time, as did the lithuanins and mari and such. christianity was only taking among urbans and essentially bandits, its fair to say this environment was relatively religiously barren and very degenerate.
christianity at least theologically was relatively simple similar to islam, later it became more complicated and incorporated rituals and festivals and such, and pagans not being very doctrinal grafting their rituals onto other things and reterming the legitimacy of their kings was enough to gradually win them over, this doesnt imply that paganism was untrue or incomplete or tgat christianity was true just that in the state it was presentedvnot being able to read or just not reading the bible and being told fragments sometimes edited and wile making these accommodations to the pagan superstitions they merely found it tolerable
also the dynamic within europe shouldnt be expected to have anything to do with christianity becoming in the ethnicities within and about the jews
@Electric Pants :prince_dance: @57a30817@Terry "GM mosquitoes do not pose a risk to people, animals, or the environment
The EPA evaluated the potential risk of releasing GM mosquitoes into communities and determined that there is no risk to people, animals, or the environment. For more information, see EPA’s Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment.
GM mosquitoes for disease outbreak control
Release of GM mosquitoes is not intended to stop an ongoing disease outbreak. Instead, GM mosquitoes are meant to help prevent disease outbreaks. Releasing GM mosquitoes over several months can reduce the number of a specific mosquito species, such as Ae. aegypti. Reducing numbers of mosquitoes that can spread germs can help reduce the chance of an outbreak starting. We do know that the best way to prevent disease is to control mosquitoes before an outbreak happens."

Some regions take steps to control the mosquito population by removing places where mosquitoes lay eggs, killing eggs with larvicides and killing the adult population with adulticides. Others use methods include the use of genetically modified mosquitoes, which have been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use in some counties in Texas and Florida.

theyre doing a media thing, spraying insecticides for mosquitos in an extension of gmo mosquito releases and covid policy

@ЯAUL👹lum lover🍚🔥 Generally considered to derive from Old English rāp (“rope”), in reference to the ropes used to delineate the courts that ruled each rape.[4] Compare Dutch reep and the parish of Rope, Cheshire.
In the 18th century, Edward Lye proposed derivation from Old Norse hreppr (“tract of land”), but this was rejected by the New English Dictionary and is considered "phonologically impossible" by the English Place-Name Society.[4] Others, considering it improbable that the Normans would have adopted a local word, suggest derivation from Old French raper (“take by force”).[5]
and yes "raper" is rape, it means seize, so if the later is correct a "rape" is an occupation zone
@Komnene@احمدابن محمد الخيام they dont have a retroflex for polish its going to look really ugly trying to write retroflexes using digraphs, just like it does now
@Kerokeronim i think like right now urbanited were race mixing, and this is why theres a shift to a mixed roman levant population in roman cities, its something that happens when a population degenerates i think, i dont remember them being less than half roman though, but maybe i havent remember right, from the graph it looks more than 50% but its variable and these are burials cremation was preferred so theres probably a squew, this problem is far worse with greece
