Academic history has a lot of problems with guns germ and steel. Also, gun germ and steel isnt even summarised with 'west made violence an conquered all'. The thesis holds that geography and environmental circumstances enabled western dominance and that the vast majority of death was a result of disease, and the incapacity of the new world to compete was a lack of animals of burden.

But keep going, you are sounding super woke atm.

the logical conclusion to GGS thesis is any group of people given European geography would dominate the world. that goes in line with that quote of western civilization applied organized violence better than everyone else, thus setting the standard for all the bullshit you posted earlier like religion, science, culture, etc because of its inherent advantages of being located in Europe.

there can only be two conclusions from what you are saying which are; 1) western civilization was predetermined to dominate because of its geographical advantages or 2) western civilization dominated the world because it is inherently better.

I'm not arguing anything inherent about Europe.

SJW historian was stating that the Western capacity for violence was something unique, it is not, just an outcome of social and environmental circumstances.

The same could be applied to the west organizing education well enough to deploy violence or commercial and industrial output.

Europe was in a unique development and innovative feedback loop; according to the source, along with being politically fractured and thus more competitive. (and thousands of other major factors)

The emphasizing on'organizing violence' is preferred by social justice types because they hold an animosity for the west. It is adorable and also pointless since the west will be Humanity's permanent hegemon outside of an AI.

"western civilization was predetermined to dominate because of its geographical advantages " That 'predetermination factor would significantly diminish the moral accountability of it, wouldn't you say?.

Sadly when people complain about the 'west's capacity for violence' in the colonial era they do it with derision because American history education is cute an terrible.

After all, any culture with Europe's geographic advantages would have sprawled out dominating the world with innovation and violence if we are to believe this source material, hating the west for it's use of violence is hating fate; if the source material is accurate.

blah blah blah if you dye your hair and never fit in that is your fault not society.
