Occupy at first didn't seem so much anti-capitalist or against wealth inequality as much as just average joes getting fed up at cronyism. It's the (what we now call) wokies that tried to turn it into their socialist, identity politics shitshow that drove off the average joes.

I think you have occupy mixed up with the tea party, which began by a rant by Rick Santenelli over cronyism in 2009.  Occupy Wall Street was all about "Eat the rich" and "those rich Jews" (their bigoted words, not mine) from the start.

Indeed, maybe they only came onto my radar late, but they have always seemed to be the American Millennials trying to teach themselves Trotskyism; or maybe it's my (extensive) experience with the Latin American Trotskyists who coloured my view of the OWS movement. In any case, I don't think it could evolve in any direction but Socialism.

Well...

I just got banned from EN World. You wanna know the outrageous things I said?

After stating that it was okay to like J.K. Rowling I got a spanking and a talking to. I was, according to the mods, someone who they've been discussing regarding my anti-inclusionary statements. He then tried to learn me about what inclusive meant in pedantic marxist fashion. I knew I wasn't long for the (EN) world after that.

So yesterday, in a thread called "What We Lose When We Eliminate Controversial Content" some folks were discussing the portrayal of ancient Egyptian culture in games, and some were bemoaning some TSR pictures.

I stated it's okay to portray Pharaohs as white.

That's it.

Now I'm banned for life. 

You can tell you're over the target when positive, rational, statements brings out the rage. EN World is run by people whose love for trannies trumps the outspoken and unaddressed hatred of a woman and they hate white people.

Which is funny, because Rameses II was a ginger, and Egypt has whole graveyards dedicated to redheads.

Salient point from an article in Nature on this topic:

Both types of genomic material showed that ancient Egyptians shared little DNA with modern sub-Saharan Africans. Instead, their closest relatives were people living during the Neolithic and Bronze ages in an area known as the Levant. Strikingly, the mummies were more closely related to ancient Europeans and Anatolians than to modern Egyptians.

Yeah. I posted - https://www.enworld.org/threads/what-we-lose-when-we-eliminate-controversial-content.696143/post-8954608 - no idea if this is ok to say or if ENW requires some kind of Afrocentric propaganda version of Egyptian history & demographics.

I remember getting schooled by a renegade ex-Nation of Islam Youtuber a couple years back when I said something about ancient Kushites being black; turns out from the gene anaysis, they were more like Berbers. She knew this & I didn't. She'd gone from 'We Wuz Kangz' to being really against any claims of black African civilisations; I was not able to disprove her.

There has been a strong conceit in modern western culture that anything Africa = Black.

But such postmodern notion's completely discount the actual historical record.

The Bantu migrations only began around 3000-2000 BC. And those migrations were almost wholly southwards on the continent - because the Sahara, and also Egyptians & Berbers; peoples that were in northern Africa thousands of years before the bantu migrations started, and like all peoples, they tended to defend their territories.

North Africa was very much a part of the wider Mediterranean Culture/Trade (Greek/Roman/Egyptian/Berber/Phonecian, etc.) For thousands of years until the Muslim invasions that began around 600 AD.

Not that the ancient Mediterranean's and Medieval Europeans didn't know what a "Black" Bantu African was, or looked like. Quite the opposite.

But modern revisionists have made ridiculous historical speculations about "Black" Bantu African influence in North African/European culture based on their depictions in Roman/Greek, and Medieval European art. Making unfounded claims that such depictions were due to some kind of proliferation that had since been 'whitewashed' from history, rather than largely the novelty they represented as they were depicted in various paintings/sculptures, etc.

North African cultures/civilizations were not "Black" African cultures. And they are largely still not, because even post Islamic invasion Moor =/= Black.

For the year zero revisionists at places like ENworld; These are all very triggering facts that they are largely unable to swallow.

What's hilarious is that there are actual photographs of Ramesses II's mummy. That is not a black man. I'm sorry. He was no more black than I am.

All of my fantasy worlds are Certified 100% Bantu-Free.

*BOOM* Jaeger! Excellent, my friend! Your history is spot the fuck on!

It still boggles me though how absolutely uneducated and retarded these Libtards always are, about most things, but history in general, and African history in particular. I've long since realized--sadly though--any discussions involving them really isn't about facts, knowledge, TRUTH--it's about their ideology, period. They really don't give a fuck about evidence, truth, or facts. It's all about their ideology and their narrative.

Most of North Africa, for thousands of years--has been WHITE or Arab, Semetic. And lots of Greek, Spanish, Roman, and Egyptian bloodlines mixed in there. Not Black African so much though.

Cleopatra was not Black African, and the Greeks did not steal technology and great discoveries from the poor fucking Black Africans. God these people make my teeth grind with their moron arguments. Who gives a fuck that Greeece and Egypt were white? Or Semetic, or otherwise NOT BLACK.

Why not instead focus on and celebrate TRUTH? How about the Black African Kingdom of Ethiopia, one of the longest and most enduring Christian kingdoms anywhere? The mighty Christian Ethiopians defended themselves and crushed the Muslims back for something like 500 years! Or how about the Black African Kingdom of Nigeria? Or Kosa, and others that developed sophisticated medieval kingdoms, schools, cities, with large, powerful armies, and vast treasuries of fine gold, ivory, thousands and thousands of gorgeous women, and also hundreds or thousands of armoured war elephants? These Black African kingdoms--also had mighty kings like Mansa Musa, the richest man in the world with caravans of thousands of camels, all loaded down with gold? The different Black African kingdoms south of the Sahara were--surprise--just like people everywhere. They had men and women being noble and faithful and glorious and wise--and also evil, wicked, treacherous, and decadent. Reading into real history, they are fascinating, and just like reading about European, Asian, or Middle Eastern kingdoms. Of special note is yeah, they differed some by embracing their native Pagan African religions, which have their own kinds of rivalries and beliefs. Then, the African kingdoms get into embracing Christianity and Islam--just like everywhere else, and just like everywhere else as well, all of these different religions creates endless drama. *Laughing*

I don't understand why they are not proud and interested in REAL Black African history, and instead are always running around like sobbing bitches crying about how everything anyone else did was really somehow stolen from the Black Kangz or some BS. It is so mind bogging, and yeah, the absolute distortion, lies, and raping of history and truth gets me grinding my teeth. As a trained Historian, I get hot about it.

Good stuff, Jaeger!

SHARK

I've personally seen his mummy.  He had (straight, not kinky) reddish hair and a prominent, aquiline, somewhat hooked nose.  Doesn't look in the slightest like a sub-Saharan African.
