    Yeah pretty sure it’s generated. Look at the flags in the background, the black in the centre doesn’t make sense on a lot of them. And the people in the bottom left corner also look strange. Another strange point is the swastika below the eagle: the upper arm seems to be a bit shorter than the others. And the style of the eagle itself looks strange to me, but I’m not a historian, so that is just feeling,not knowledge.



  • No, not really.

    Because if you do think about it, you would realize that a wide variety of species shows a wide variety of different behaviours. Which in turn means that all these opposing ways of behaviour are indeed natural, but not necessary natural for humans, as they are contradictory to each other. Or if you want to follow your proposed line of thought to the logical end, I await your proof of human males attaching to the much bigger female and atrophying to a simple ball of sacks for insemination as angler fishes are proven to do.

    Or to make the point even more direct: the whole concept of laws to give or take ownership is in itself so counter to all other animals behaviour that it is ludicrous to try and argue any part of that is in any kind of way natural. Or by definition of ‘humans as animals’ would mean any political system we adopt is natural by design.




  • I agree in general but slight nitpick:

    When somebody declares intent to harm you, proportional violence becomes justified as self defence.

    If you say you want to hit me on my pinky finger, I’m not justified in killing you. If you declare to kill or eradicate me, as the extreme right does to certain marginalised groups, a lot of different levels of violence are justified, including killing for the really severe cases.













  • That’s not true at all. The aegian sea is something like 215,000 km2 (83,000 sq mi for you football field lovers out there).

    And don’t underestimate “the technology of the time”.

    We nowadays have evidence of wide trade networks all over Europe and northern Africa during the bronze age. In Spain there is evidence of tin being used that was mined in northern Europe. People very much used water ways for trade and exchange, which is one of the reason why most old big cities are next to water ways.
