ciarangallagher.bsky.social @ciarangallagher.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Tooze is a similar case, but more doctrinaire. Dolan just seems to have invested to many decades and so many relationships in resolving everything back to perfidious Democrats. 1152
ciarangallagher.bsky.social @ciarangallagher.bsky.social · 27/08/2026John Dolan is genuinely brilliant writer and novel thinker with a ruinous commitment to putting liberals near the bottom of his moral hierarchy for what seem essentially social reasons. 1172

ciarangallagher.bsky.social @ciarangallagher.bsky.social · 25/08/2026The skeleton keeping materialist explanations for fascism upright is a desire to say “if we did redistribution this would not be happening”, but it’s remarkable how much of Trotsky‘s 90 year old skin is still clinging to those bones as it shambles forward eating brains. 000
ciarangallagher.bsky.social @ciarangallagher.bsky.social · 25/08/2026If you know most everyone in your physical range as kin or friends AND every so often a drought or bad winter cuts carrying capacity by half. You might starve together rather than kill each other over the foragable resources. That is after all what most humans do when a famine hits their in group. 170
ciarangallagher.bsky.social @ciarangallagher.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I’m in broad agreement with Bret and I think he’s right on the point that war occurs in documented resource poor HG environments too. But there are reasonable grounds to expect less war in resource poo, particularly very variable carrying capacity environment. 190
ciarangallagher.bsky.social @ciarangallagher.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Indeed, but I still find saying “log off and read the HG anthropology lit. It shows war only occurs in conditions equating to a heavily discussed blind spot in the HG lit” pretty egregious intellectual conduct! 1131
ciarangallagher.bsky.social @ciarangallagher.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Your most credentialed critic insisted humans only engage in warfare when living in large groups in close proximity and it’s not seen in modern HG studies. Modern HG studies don’t show HGs in dense resource rich environments as farmers already push then off long before anthropology begins! 1351
