Actually yes, the general consensus is that the sea peoples were a diverse group of dispossessed peasantry seeking better prospects overseas. Essentially, the contradictions between the feudal classes became particularly sharp during a period of environmental and political (between states) stress. Some states managed to preserve themselves by dramatically shrinking their borders, like Assyria, but most of them could not handle war with other states and war with dispossessed people and political struggle within their own people at the same time. Essentially, the sea peoples were never one group or cohesive movement. It was a regional response to failing systems.

Many of us are against that too. Whales just happen to be exceedingly intelligent and capable of forming powerful emotional bonds

In the US atleast mandolins are also a cooking utensil that creates thin slices of vegetables by sliding them across a flat surface with a blade attached.

The United States should be dismantled entirely and its leaders should be shot for making people think like you are right now

I pretty much only use lemmy and a youtube subscription feed (no algorithmic recommendations) so tbh no. By propaganda accounts do you mean leftist agitprop or state sanctioned propaganda

Read and watched all the source material today. It has officially been 41 hours of not sleeping. I literally ended it talking about the symbology of cubes (in reference to the Kaaba) and its either fire or the worst essay I have ever wrote.

and no I am not sharing that shit lol. How is y'all's experience with academia this finals season?

My room is basically empty except for my bed, computer/desk, birdcage, and fan. It even has grey walls lol. This is mostly because my preferred horde is old books and they are pretty expensive so my collection is small. I also like maps, historical trinkets/artifacts, and indegenous art but I am unemployed lol.

I don't dislike what I currently have but I do wish I had unorganized stacks of books everywhere (if only my bird would not poop on them)

I am chuggin gin tonight (not an extended pattern of behavior to be clear) and honestly wtf. Everything is so cruel to the extent that it is almost rediculous.

So, I am a history student and tbh, the absurdity of modern class struggle is becoming fucking unreal to me. I genuinely cannot grasp how the bourgeois sleep at night. Like wtf. The human capacity for indifference is unfathomable. I am watching a video by coffeezilla where he covers the failure of a "bank", which is technically not a bank, that caused a bunch of people to lose 10s of millions of dollars collectively. Maybe being raised by labor aristocrats sheltered me from the inhumanity of capitalism and thats why this fucks me up so bad but one guy losts thousands of hours of his life to this shit. They're just fucking gone. How is this normal, how do most people accept this as their reality. I am honestly impressed by the docility of the working class in the imperial core. I think if I dropped a sumerian peasant into the modern United States they would immediately identify our society as fucked up beyond belief the moment they understood it.

idk where I expected to go with this post. shits just fucked up tbh and I cannot grasp why I see it and others don't. I have little material reason to do so, yet I do and so many others who have a material reason to realize this do not. I think I will smoke tonight and watch an ancient history documentary.

edit: tangentially related but finding you guys made me hopeful for the world, thank you for being sane
