    The bigger issue is Hancock’s idea of indigenous people worshiping a white savior. Check out the excerpts from his book I pasted.

      I like how you continue to dodge the fact the indigenous peoples claims they come from a fucking rock is ridiculous when I have already agreed that Hancock is a con man.

        Yes, many indigenous folk beliefs don’t make sense. But there’s a reason punching down is a shitty thing to do. And you are punching down on indigenous people. Maybe just accept that they have a belief that doesn’t make sense, since it isn’t hurting anyone.

        Unlike the racist with the hugely popular Netflix show.

          Seriously? Punching down because I pointed out how unscientific claims should not be repeated as if they hold any weight?

          Maybe just accept that they have a belief that doesn’t make sense, since it isn’t hurting anyone.

          No. Treating idiotic claims as if they had any merit because you see them as harmless is dangerous. All misinformation is harmful.

          Unlike the racist

          I know this is super difficult for you to comprehend because of how terminally online you are but I never disputed that Hancock is a racist. That isn’t even an argument that is happening outside of your head.

          I know you’re the most terminally online person on lemmy (and second is a distant place) but get some perspective please. I suggest you touch grass.

            I never said you disputed it.

            But since you think there is a danger in this indigenous belief, please tell me what it is.

            I would say that it wouldn’t be in even the top 100 dangers indigenous people have faced and continue to face when it comes to the people that colonized the Americas.

              You still haven’t admitted the claim they came from some rocks is bullshit. You just keep dodging like the terminally online redditor you really are.

              Seriously turn the computer and phone off and go touch some grass.

                I literally said:

                So is your issue that I didn’t literally use the word “bullshit?” Otherwise, I don’t know how I could have been clearer or why you think I was dodging anything.

                Now I expect you will talk about touching grass for a third time.
