Hello everyone,

I am at the moment the only active mod of this community, which is usually not recommended.

I am hence looking for other mods. The moderation load is very low, people on this community are usually nice.

Please comment with a mander.xyz account (reports do not federate) below if you want to become a mod.

I guess that doesn't really address the issue, but I usually use middle-click

Cross-posting this here as it discusses both geography and social determinism

The Limits of Geographic Determinism (piped.projectsegfau.lt)
 

cross-posted from: https://mander.xyz/post/1309196

Over the last few years of making videos the most engaging and interesting criticisms of my videos have come from people who I would call Geographic determinists. People who believe that the way certain socio-political structures are shaped, is heavily dependent upon and influenced by the geography that surrounds a society. I want to make clear that I do not dismiss geographic determinism, I find it to be an interesting position, and have to concede that more often than not - geographic determinists are correct. I would merely like to explain why I, am not a geographic determinist.
