Painstaking effort = colonization/cultural genocide.
Im happy to see young Inuit and Maori (among other cultures) “decivilizing” and getting back into traditional tattooing.

90% of contemporary maori culture and language was invented by committees in the last few decades
Very little of what they're doing is traditional
>the economist so ass hat retarded they forgot just about everyone had a beard or mustache until 1914
Fucking hacks
Pic is for The Economist
People were never civilized. Culture was. Now it's not. Individuals can only be expected to behave in accordance with self-interest. Introduce cost/benefit misalignments and expect the least moral of society to exploit them most ambitiously.
That article is fucking hilarious. The author is TE's politics editor. He's basically at the pinnacle of the bourgeois intelligentsia, and he's come out against degeneracy.
Beards were uncommon before the Crimean war.
I was thinking of getting a tattoo of a triceratops
It's quite obvious we've been in decline for a long time. Look at our "entertainment," our "journalism."
Look at cheap, shitty modern architecture. Look at modern art. Look at the way people dress and act.
It's quite obvious we're a civilization in decline already. The petrodollar, high fructose corn syrup and bloated military are all that hold us together.
I agree with the headline. My mother said when she was growing up the only people with tattoos were sailors and convicts and the only people with beards were disheveled homeless people.
>tattoos and beards wah cry cry whine whine
I'm more concerned by the rise of whiney faggot men who cry about the most benign shit.
>beards
Beards were patrician as fuck throughout the 1800s. i've got old black and white pics of my blue blood rich ass great great grandpa and his 5 brothers. and all of them look sick as hell with beards and suits and tophats and shit.
>be civilized
>look like this
interdasting
>Maori decivilizing
>implying they ever were civilized
And i's not like it's traditional tattooing anyway, that's way too painful.
Debased coinage is also indicative of a nation in decline.
>beards
>decivilizing
>civilization in decline.
Imagine being part of the barbarian group of men with facial hair. Like Socrates. Aristotle. Darwin. da Vinci. Michelangelo. Kepler, or Mr. Pasteur.
Did Quentin write this?
>The same rag that encourages unlimited migration discourages bears
Also when were beards considered uncivilized in the 19th century? There were tons of dudes with facial hair.
the word beard literally comes from barbarian which means to speak "bababa talk"
Thanks Red.
I’m Inuit, have zero tattoos. I hate niggers, muslims, Jews, chinks and shitskins. I am thankful for the European colonial era, as it pulled my people into western culture, as opposed to some other savage culture conquering and most likely wiping us out. Tattoos though are degenerate as fuck, and this thread is kiked to the max. Kys shlomo
Get it on your crotch so that the big horn is actually your penor
Thanks for the tldr in Maori culture, white man. Don't you have some hobbits to rape and enslave?
Holy shit, that's really impressive for a US comic!
Do you know the year it was written user?
Do you have a beard?
Fuck no. Beards are for faggots. Real men keep themselves clean shaven and presentable
