I’m sure this will have 0 repercussions for the entire continent of Africa haha

I mean that entirely depends on when and where. Not every culture is guaranteed to have done this or something similar.

Spence points out that the first so-called wilderness areas that had been deemed in need of preserving were not only and in actuality Indigenous-occupied landscapes when the first national parks were established, but also that an uninhabited wilderness had to first be created. He examines the creation of Yellowstone, Glacier and Yosemite National Parks in particular to illustrate the way the myth of uninhabited virgin wilderness has for more than a century obscured a history of Native land dispossession in the name of preservation and conservation and serves as the foundation of the environmental movement.

The establishment of national parks often came at a significant cost to Indigenous communities. Parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon were created through the forced removal of Native peoples who had lived there for millennia. Treaties were ignored, sacred sites were taken, and traditional practices such as hunting, fishing, and ceremonies were outlawed. This exclusion set the stage for a century-long struggle for recognition and rights.

I hate being that guy who rains on every parade but I have VERY complicated feelings about the national parks

He also said that in the dark, it makes no difference how they look

Yeah some of them wrote and complained about it but they still didn’t do anything about it systemically. The wealthy few could somewhat avoid it if they were knowledgable enough but the workers in their slums couldn’t do jackshit about it. Nor could the slaves mining it (obviously)

Tbh it was more “that guy is definitely gonna invade me but totally not any time soon haha, we still have a few more years surely” up until the point of invasion. The soviets very much understood that the Nazis had every intention to invade them, you can tell by all the prep work they did and the many members of the politbureau who said as much. Stalin just thought they had more time.

I’ve been saying this for song long. Most of their history is written by their enemies and they still come of as pretty decent all things considered

Holy shit its finally here holyshit

It’s nuts they can claim that with a straight face when by the time europeans arrived there we populations that had moved from Alaska to fucking Patagonia. Claiming they hadn’t made it to newfoundland is baffling.

Unfortunately my sub field would make me identifiable so I will leave it at history. You were correct on the humanities front.

As a joke I wad tempted to say marine biology lol

I need online forums that require credentials to enter. Like I want to argue with other PhDs in my subfield instantly. Is that too much too ask?

So fair

real shit me too buddy. bless you paul cooper

Possible Jelly leaf

It all started with settled society. Some of the earliest Sumerian tablets record what were effectively complaints about feeling unappreciated at work and stuck in debt. I think there was even a drinking song about one of those and a proverb like “I am a stallion tied to a mule”

Burkina Faso actually accomplished this very recently iirc

Agriculture stood out as a major achievement, with Traoré announcing that Burkina Faso reached food self-sufficiency in 2025, thanks to effective campaigns, improved seeds, subsidies, and mechanization. Plans for 2026 include further land development, water retention projects, aquaculture, and fodder crop production.
