The pyramids were built right around the time that it ended. (Great Pyramid of Giza built c. 2600 BCE; African Humid Period ended c. 2200 BCE)
There wouldn’t have been snow there, but there would’ve been grass and trees.
I especially hate it here in the South, as it’s used as a sanctimonious “fuck you” while dishonestly claiming righteousness.
For example, the last time that was said to me was when some asshole crossed a double-yellow to pass me while I was doing 22 in a 25 mph school zone (which means he was doing at least 35 or 40). When I pulled up next to him at the red light and pointed that out, he bitched at me for taking the lane instead of riding in the bike lane (that didn’t exist! It was half a block of shoulder that ended!). He continued to argue that cyclists weren’t entitled to use the street, then as the light changed said “bless you” as if he fucking won and drove off.
It is the most condescending, assholish thing you can say to a person and it makes me want to punch you in your smarmy goddamn face every single time.
The entire population of Israel is under 10 million people. Even if every single one of them were Israeli-American (i.e. eligible to vote in US elections), they would still be dwarfed by the more than the 80 million evangelical Christians in the US who mostly support Israel (not Jews, just Israel) for the reason I described.
Most American zionists aren’t Jewish to begin with. They’re evangelical Christians who want to ship all the Jews back to the “Holy Land” to kick-start “Armageddon” so they themselves can get “Raptured.” They don’t give a shit about Jews; they just want them gone.
They have more than enough privilege to support Trump’s hate without any risk to themselves – actually, even that is an understatement: they’re at the very core of Trump’s base.
