She updated it and got 13 million views in a month too.

I meant to hit 'Superfan' for this commie baddie.

In all of your research and to your knowledge, have you ever heard of any ancient civilization who thought that people from other countries, with other cultures that spoke different languages were the same people based on skin color? I haven't found one.

It's less common to find instances in ancient civilizations where people solely thought others from different cultures, who spoke different languages, were the same based purely on skin color. Ancient societies often had more nuanced and complex views of people from various regions, even if they did sometimes use physical characteristics as part of their categorizations. While there might not be a perfect example that exactly matches the criteria you mentioned, there were certainly cases of oversimplification and misunderstanding due to limited interactions and information.

I'm starting to think that ancient civilizations are not given enough credit. Even looking at the Saxon wars, I don't think they considered the Danes to be the same people whereas many today would say they are both white, so of course they are the same. I also feel like a distinct culture from say a Nigerian and a 5th generation white person from Alabama is alien to a 5th generation Russian and so on.

Absolutely! Ancient civilizations tend to get boiled down to simple ideas, but in reality, they were more complex than we give them credit for. Take your example of the Saxon wars. It's unlikely that they saw the Danes as the same just because they both had light skin. Nowadays, it's easy to think that skin color is the only factor, but that's not how people then or even now really see it. Ancient societies didn't have the same rigid ideas about race that we do today. They had their own ways of understanding differences among people, which were much more flexible.

Kindof hard to see myself simping to the superfan level.

I was in the store the other day and a Queen song was playing and it gave me a weird thought. Are we doomed to never have great music again? As new music goes, I hear some good music from time to time, but most of it is terrible objectively to my ears.

I was a bit late on deleting those posts, but removed the whole discussion. 👍🏾 May be a small consolation, but she is pretty without makeup.

There is so much here that I could write a book, but shows so much of what is wrong about our society.

Just heard this for the first time recently. I believe there is some parallel universe where it is a hit.

Yulia looks like Napoleon Dynamite from this angle.
