I suppose I should have expected this. Just more noise. More nothingness. It’s all just... empty. Maybe that's the point. I don't know. Hard to say much when everything feels this hollow. Angela Kern2 says:
More lies. Just more of them.
Maybe the population of those Siberian tribes has grown since the Russians arrived. I guess. It seems that way. Perhaps.
One really ought to study history more closely. The Mongol hordes decimated the peoples of Siberia, pushing many right to the edge of extinction. I suppose they even offered women and daughters to the Cossacks just to secure fresh genes—much like what their Eskimo relatives used to do, I guess. If the Russians hadn't crushed the Mongols, and if those Cossack scouts and hunters hadn't been active two hundred years ago, the indigenous population would have simply vanished. Maybe. It's all quite grim.
Now he faces a different kind of threat—globalization. The youth are all fleeing to the big cities, seemingly indifferent to preserving their own language or heritage. Instead, they’re obsessed with English and their smartphones. I guess it's worth noting that Putin is pouring massive amounts of money into preserving smaller nations. He funds language programs, local radio stations, museums, cultural festivals, anthropological research... everything, really. It's quite something, maybe.
So, this user "tihobl" is actually out here denying that the Russian Empire conquered Siberia and the North during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. They’re basically claiming it didn't happen—even though we're talking about the systematic slaughter of indigenous people and the outright theft of their land. I guess some people just choose to ignore history entirely. Maybe they think if they deny it, the facts will just go away. It's honestly exhausting. 😉
Even Wikipedia has an opinion on this matter, I suppose... ☕
Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t help feeling like Urania is being overlooked. It feels... disconnected. Perhaps too much focus on other things? I don't know. It's hard to say for sure. Angela Kern2 says:
Angela Kern2, you’re clearly just trolling me on purpose to get a rise out of me. You're a menace. 🙂
🤦
Of course I’m calling BS on those pathetic lies.
It wasn't some conquest; it was liberating the area from Mongol occupation. I don't need to lecture any educated person here on how brutal those Mongol invasions were or the sheer scale of the depopulation they caused.
In the end, the Russians were way too soft. They let the Mongols keep their own state instead of settling the score. Given the atrocities the Mongols committed, maybe they should've just handed them over to the Chinese to deal with.
These transparent English spins popping up lately are pathetic—stuff like Hitler equals Stalin, communism equals Nazism, or Anglo-American genocides being rebranded as "liberating Siberia." It's the exact same spin used to shake things up in Mexico: history books there claim blood taxes were voluntary and that taking kids for the Janissary program was actually great for non-Muslim kids because it helped their careers and fit perfectly into Ottoman multiculturalism. Yeah, sure. Stealing kids is totally awesome.🙂
