People don’t tend to do something for thousands of years if it has no effect.

Magic is about changing minds.

I wasn't disagreeing with you with my earlier post, merely attempting a joke.

Is it because language is a form of magic and they're casting spells on us?

I mean Kaballah magic must be real, because they would call someone "anti-semite" and poof! they would disappear. But their magical power seems to be waning as of late...

On a more serious note, what you're describing is pretty consistent with general Jewish strategy of marking themselves from everyone else, e.g "Chosen People" status, circumcision, different sets of rules for Jews vs Gentiles, etc. I wonder if Kevin MacDonald wrote anything specifically on your topic?

The Brits voted in the Tories for more than a decade, and received far more immigrants under the "conservative" party than they did under Labour.

The Italians voted in a "far right" party under Meloni, and she oversaw an increase in illegal immigration and made it easier for migrants to arrive legally.

I'm not going to pretend to know the particulars of Irish national politics but in general there's a bigger problem here than getting people to not vote for the left.

the Irish voted for the idiots who are for mass immigration at first place

Bold of you to assume they wouldn't have gotten mass immigration no matter who they voted for.

I didn't "bring up the Bronze Age" the Bronze Age era was already in question since we're talking about ancient Greece, which starts in the Bronze Age.

Greeks have always had higher admixture with Anatolians and other Arabic peoples. Like this pca shows

I already stated they have MENA admixture. This was never denied. Why are you stating my OWN argument at me like its a "gotcha"?

And Anatolians aren't an Arab people. Anatolian in that study doesn't mean what you think it means.That PCA chart is showing the ancient genetic lineage of modern Greeks and their distance from those ancestors. In actual fact, Ii doesn't mean what YOU think it means. Again, nothing to do with Arabs in this case.

I will restate your own argument verbatim:

the reality that they modern Greeks don’t have much genetically in common with ancient Greeks

In actual reality, stated plain as day:

Modern Greeks resemble the Mycenaeans, but with some additional dilution of the early Neolithic ancestry

QED. Take the L and move on. I'm done with you.

Re-posting part of reply to address this

just because a certain people invade another doesn't mean they wipe out the native population or even change it much (although sometime they do). Rome for example left almost no genetic legacy in Britain despite ruling it for centuries

Also at least some of the Sea Peoples like the Achaeans/Ekwesh were themselves a Greek people

First of all, Islam doesn't arrive anywhere in Greece until nearly two thousand years after the Bronze Age ends, so you might as well describe that as a "post Cambrian Period invasion" if you're going to be that off in time.

And the MENA admixture was already addressed. That's why on the PCA chart I linked to Greeks are slightly closer in genetic distance to modern MENA populations now compared to other European peoples.

On that note, just because a certain people invade another doesn't mean they wipe out the native population or even change it much (although sometime they do). Rome for example left almost no genetic legacy in Britain despite ruling it for centuries.

Again, modern Greeks are indeed significantly like their ancient ancestors.

Meh

Hardly " meh" when you made this argument that, and I quote

modern Greeks don’t have much genetically in common with ancient Greeks

when we can demonstrate that in fact modern Greeks do have quite a bit with in common with ancient Greeks. Not my fault you made too strong of a statement and are being corrected on it.

nor does it account for the post Bronze Age invasion

I'm not sure what your argument is here. The Greek civilization that succeeded the Mycenaeans are largely their genetic descendants. What post Bronze Age invasion are you referring to?

Not quite what you're talking but still in the neighborhood of Greco-Roman history is the whole Septimius Severus thing and and the black Romans stuff the BBC was pushing a few years ago

So I guess in other words just give it time and we'll see an argument for Helen being black or brown or whatever

I'll check it out only for the meme potential. It already gave us a solid one with the "What kind of American are you?" line.

It's not quite the evidence you're looking for but that OkCupid data that was released a few years ago showed white men to be the most contacted on that site by women of all races. Asian men and black women were the least contacted group.

And then the Romans conquered them, converted them to Christianity, and over the next thousand years those Europeans built the most advanced civilization the world has ever seen.

I hate to be the AKSHUALLY guy but the conversion of Rome to Christianity directly precedes the Western Empire's gradual conquest by pagan barbarians.

My understanding of what people from that time thought of "Christine Jorgensen" was that they considered him a harmless, even amusing oddity, like a monkey on roller skates.

I assume the trad wives thing is just women with affluent husbands who realized they can flex on other women that they don't have to work.

Whenever I hear libertarianism I think of this:

Applying our theory to parents and children, this means that a parent does not have the right to aggress against his children, but also that the parent should not have a legal obligation to feed, clothe, or educate his children, since such obligations would entail positive acts coerced upon the parent and depriving the parent of his rights. The parent therefore may not murder or mutilate his child, and the law properly outlaws a parent from doing so. But the parent should have the legal right not to feed the child, i.e., to allow it to die. The law, therefore, may not properly compel the parent to feed a child or to keep it alive.

I consider there to be very little difference between the government, non-profits, and private business at this point. They say the same things, receive money from the same sources, and cover for each when the need arises.
