And with the US moving to a zero reserve system they dont even need to hold anything in the vaults anymore. They can legally gamble it all away!

Well, they attempted to copy the Spanish Empires strategy of setting up meetings with the chieftains and abducting them. They would then be tortured relentlessly until the tribe submitted all their wealth.

Britain tried this, amongst others, and Wahunsunacock didn't fall for it. Smith went back to plead for carpenters instead of soldiers, but it took so long that the entire colony perished. Poor Jamestown.

If the strategy worked for one empire but not another, I would call the attempt a failure. Learning from those failures is what allowed newer trade focused strategies to emerge.

I can't argue with that. But, mistakes were made on both sides. The high level of cultural intolerance and misunderstanding led to increasingly frequent periods of conflict. The First Anglo-Powhatan War for instance. The point I'm trying to make is that it wasn't just the Brits fault.

It was probably the least cruel, but still cruel, colonial empire of the time. I find it funny that the success of their expansion often came from failing to mimic the strategies of other empires of the time.

Like they tried to use the Spanish strategies used in South America and it lost them 2 colonies pretty quickly immediately. Wahunsunacock was not having any of it.

If you want to create an effective long-lasting empire you need to be capable of committing acts of great good and great cruelty. Of course, neither should be done without reason. Also, I would never say that they failed to mimic strategies of other empires. More like showing recognition of the faults of those empires and choosing not to repeat.

No bruh, dating isn’t hard for me. Finding a lifetime partner on the other hand isn’t easy. People who were already orange pilled already have some similar principles and know that life isn’t meaningless and despair isn’t their most known feeling.

Date enough or work in a office and you will see how hopeless people are these days.

Gary ₿usey 2y ago

You're spot on. I'm 32, so I'm a millenial, and I have to say that it wasn't like this when I was growing up. Culture nowadays IS purely based on hopelessness. What makes this even worse is that people don't seem to care about looking for a solution. Idk. 🤷‍♂️
