“He who controls the past, controls the future.”It's pretty well established the east of the Mississippi natives got wiped out pretty heavily from disease.
Many didnt see the Europeans as a threat to unite against. Euros didn't come over in war ships. By the time Jackson was sweeping the south of Cherokee, it was too late.
They didn't all hate each other and they didn't all love each other. They fought, they allied, they contested resources, they migrated, they did just what ALL HUMANS HAVE DONE FOREVER.
No unity would have saved them from Euro-Asia diseases.
What most point to, and it's not that they are wrong, is the post Civil War conquest of Native people and lands. That was right next to slavery as the worst shit this country has done. I'm not refuting that.
What I'm saying is, understand it for what it, where we were, where we are, and where we want to go.
My 5 year old will not shut up about all the shit that is unfair in this world. That's fine. He's five. But when I hear adults respond in this matter, I just get disgusted.
First off, the only reason anyone is able to talk about these things is because we have advanced. Understanding the wrongs of the past is how we build the rights of the future. Acting the victim breeds entitlement and non action.
She should have just made weight rather than blame history and her body. I can't respect people who are not accountable for themselves. This is the world. You can bitch, or you can work to make it better. She couldnt even make weight, couldn't do her job. I'm not interested her other world view. Clearly its juvenile.
“Biology of Belief” is another great read.The disease aspect would NOT work both ways. The Eurasian landmass (plus Africa) experienced millennia of trade, livestock domestication, farming, and the development of urban centers--all of which combined gave rise to new diseases that Europeans built up immunity to over time. The Americas did not have the same level of development. As a result, there were far fewer diseases in the Americas that could kill a European than vice-versa. Read "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond. Should be required reading in high schools.
But that doesn't happen.“He who controls the past, controls the future.”
The fact that they didn’t come over in warships is a great point that they could have nipped it in the bud much sooner if they were all on the same page.
Agreed on all points TS.
She's 100% delusional and of course believes she's the victim in all this.
She couldn't make weight. I can't remember too many champs who couldn't make weight while defending their belts. I don't include Max, cause I don't think it was a weight cutting issue.
Maybe her and GDR can form a tag team and star in the next Ducks movie.
If a male fighter who was 4-2 won his belt off beating scrubs on a TUF show, then in his first defense almost a year later and he can't make weight. He'd be stripped too and would be receiving the exact same reaction Montano is getting.
unfortunately I’m not one to be running my mouth so I don’t bring in the big bucks.
They are still getting fucked. There are treaties to this day that were disregarded.How many generations has it been now, nobody alive today fucked with the native Americans. Fucking people I swear to god
This. She is absolutely 100% delusional, and obviously a bad loser. She blames Valentina, she blames the matchmaker, she blames the UFC, everyone except the person 100% responsible for her failure : herself.Agreed on all points TS.

not the consequencesFear the return.
Wait. You're not the TSNP man
I should receive additional points for doing this from the phone
She made weight during the TUF finale which was a few months after they left the TUF house. This excuse is BS.My opinion is that she constantly kept being in shape and in weight while being there.
That's not a normal lifestyle. Maybe she actually cannot make 125 under normal conditions anymore...

Just for you as you requested the shortened version :Anybody want to shorten War and Peace ?
