This may be the oldest known drawing of a supernova, found in the disputed Kashmir region between India and Pakistan. Scholars found this odd rock art with two “suns,” and dated it to 3600 BCE, which roughly coincides with supernova HB9’s explosion.
Fun fact: the anti-Semitic stereotypes about Jews having lots of money/being greedy/cheap began in the Middle Ages thanks to Christian laws.
The Christian church began forbidding Christians from having professions that involved lending money, banking, or pawn work. It was because the church believed that money was ultimately unclean so although it was considered a necessity, Christians were instructed to deal with it as little as possible.
But someone still needed to run all of those money-based businesses. So these societies which were already run by Christian leadership basically made it a rule that these businesses had to be run by Jews since they were already “unclean”. Furthermore, due to other restrictions on Jewish people in these areas, these money-based positions were pretty much some of the only jobs Jews could legally hold.
This eventually led to numerous stereotypes involving Jews and money. And the acidity of these stereotypes grew when Christian people and leaders became resentful of the livelihood Jews were able to achieve for themselves with these jobs.
So to sum up: Christian society forces Jews to hold down money-centered jobs since, according to the church, Jews were already going to Hell. Then, once they made lives with these roles they were forced into, Jews were mocked and hated for being successful.
people seem to keep willfully missing the part of my environmental critiques where i assert that the environment was destroyed intentionally in the interests of the institution of whiteness and not just randomly for an unnamed group of billionaires unpointed greed
white settlers are not actually fully blameless in environmental destruction simply because individuals themselves do not hold the weight of an entire corporation… the environment was destroyed for white settler pursuits. land anywhere was not simply unowned, nor owned equally by that nebulous idea of All People. it was not just free for the taking. environmental destruction always goes hand-in-hand with racial violence and the environment did not randomly start getting destroyed these last 20–30 years
