  • Reading through history is like, “oh wow what a cool unique culture!” Then you get to the part where a missionary shows up and starts taking it apart or suddenly there’s a civil/holy war that obliterates most traces of the old culture.

    In many cases the missionaries were slaughtered, but they sent more, or sent armies. Heck, the British had to try like 5-6 times to take over one particular Indian kingdom (that I can’t remember off the top of my head).

    Never underestimate the power of sheer persistence and a rabid dedication to a cause.

    I hate those shows where the first 3-6 episodes are just slow dramatic shots with no plot whatsoever
    I vaguely remember some spy show where you didn’t learn any character names until episode 2

    or those where if you didn’t read the book you haven’t the slightest clue what’s happening for basically the entire first season
