Most inventions are like this. I think strategy games with tech trees really poisoned the minds of people who now think technology evolves linerally.

In reality, the invention and mass adoption of new technologies is insanely rare. The norm is that one society adopts some useful technology and either takes over everyone else or forces everyone to adopt the same tech to compete, so the technology spreads from there.

If you want to really judge a group of people by their technology, don't look at what they invented because over 99% of socieites never invent new shit, but see if they adopt technologies or not (which everyone does except for isolated tribal people).

Thing is that even compared to other forms of land transportation wheels vehicles weren't that efficient both in terms of speed and cargo capacity.

First of all, these animals were substantially more expensive, both to purchase and maintain, than a cart. And second, their efficiency is increased by the wheel too. In every context where coupling animal power with a wheeled vehicle was feasible, it was done. It even works better with the animals' anatomy and psychology. Pulling weight is much more natural for a horse than having it placed directly on top of them. And it doesn't simulate being attacked by their natural predator.
>You are comparing apples to oranges.
That was the point. Because that's what you were doing. A stagecoach is a vehicle for transporting sedentary passengers and their luggage over decently long distances.

Bannon is a sloppy drunk who takes credit for shit he didn’t do. The origin was the 2007-2011 financial crash, a lot of very smart people were under employed. They congregated on a small number of blogs and forums - primarily mpc and salo, and for blogs: Moldberg, sailer, alt/race/hist, chateau heartiste, etc. Ricky Henderson for example was on mpc - 2nd city bureaucrat, bap, etc were on salo. this cadre then heavily pushed for Trump via twitter.

All of this was a completely reasonable reaction to shitlibs turning video games into faggot diversity seminars.

>animals were substantially more expensive, both to purchase and maintain, than a cart.
I think it would be easy to argue that this statement entirely depends on where and who you are. A pastoralist with his herd won't have too much of a problem with animals but a cart would require extra knowledge and time and resources to have.
>was feasible
That's the main point here I think, it either wasn't feasible or wasn't feasible enough to be considered worthwhile. You need an animal to pull it, relatively flat terrain or roads, and a reason to. If you have no need to carry large loads you won't need a cart. Or you already have an alternative that works for you like hundreds of slaves that you can order around; someone would need to be motivated and have a reason to break out of that situation.
>It even works better with the animals' anatomy
That's not entirely true either as the horses needed a horse collar to pull heavy loads and the Romans didn't invent the horse collar so they needed to rely on oxen. It seems obvious in hindsight but actually attaching a cart to an animal and having it tame enough isn't a trivial issue. Nor is the design of the cart. You mentioned stagecoaches but they had a slew of development like adding suspension and the infrastructure around stagecoaches like places to store the coaches across the entire length of road before they really came into their own.

In this why didn't Africa have the wheel debate the more important question is why didn't have Africa have big trading cities or communities or huge tracts of arable land that would require extra power to till. Those are actual reasons you would require wheels and roads and animal powered transport.

Horses were still very valuable among nomadic pastoralists. And they still used wheeled vehicles. That's where wheeled vehicles as a viable form of transport first came from. And that was back when such vehicles were super expensive.
>it either wasn't feasible or wasn't feasible enough to be considered worthwhile
Wheeled vehicles were feasible almost everywhere where people lived. We know that because they still are now where they are used even in places where they weren't historically. And no, slavery is not a justification either. A slave with a cart is more productive than one without.
>horses needed a horse collar to pull heavy loads
You can't put heavy loads on a horses back, either. Just a rider is a considerable strain, especially for pre-modern horses.
>they needed to rely on oxen
Which are more efficient pulling a wheeled vehicle.
I agree with your last part. Wheels are obviously less useful in a less agrarian society with minimal long distance trade. But wheels being less useful for societal reasons is a far cry from people trying to act like they were useless for environmental reasons. And it also doesn't address the Americas. They had wheels. And they had societies that would have benefited from wheeled hand carts. And yet they did not use them.

>Hindu texts largely don't discriminate between heterosexual and homosexual acts, however they do explicitly mention procreative and non-procreative sexual acts.[7][8][9] The Arthashastra argues that homosexual intercourse is an offence, and encourages chastity.[10] The Dharmashastra recognises the existence of homosexuality, and openly condemns non-vaginal sex in religious or moral terms.[11] The Manusmriti regards homosexual (as well as heterosexual) acts in an ox cart as a source of ritual pollution.[12] These commentaries were written as guides for sexual misconduct (heterosexual and homosexual).[13] In the Manusmirti and the Arthashastra of Kautilya, homosexual contact is compared to having sex with menstruating woman, which is sinful and demands a purification ritual. The Dharmashastras perceives advantage of conceiving sons by heterosexual marriage, the Dharmsastras are against non-vaginal sex like the Vashistha Dharmasutra.

Yes it was. What are you talking about? Everyone in Eurasia made extensive use of animal drawn, wheeled vehicles whenever they could. The animal part was the limiting factor more often than the wheel part, in which case human power was used instead.

And this is even worse. Confucianism isn't a religion and Chinese filial piety could be satisfied simply by marrying and having children, which is consistent with the gayest societies that have ever existed. Zoroastrianism was originally ambivalent with nothing more than a condemnation against being a whore like can be found even from Greek boy fuckers. Then they interacted with jews and started quoting leviticus. And Buddhism treats all sexual pleasure of any kind as an equal impediment to enlightment and Buddhist monks were some of the gayest people in history.

I'm not the one trying to pretend that wheels were useless and unused by people on the Eurasian steppe just because animal herding isn't done from a wheeled cart.

I'm talking about all of history everwhere, you retarded nigger. It's called an example. Here's another. The spoked wheel and the chariot were invented in the very place you think wheels were useless with zero roads around.

No it isn't. No fucking wonder those few cultures never used wheels. We've got niggers like you who live in a society where wheels are extensively used for things other than long distance riding vehicles all around you and yet you somehow just refuse to acknowledge it.

this guy's video about the death toll of the Mongol Conquests is so fucking retarded that it turned me off of ever watching him
using the civilian casualty rate of the American Civil War and World War 1 (two wars in which there was famously very little targeting of civilians and most of the fighting was meat grinder field engagements) to derive the civilian casualty rate of the Mongols' wars (in which several of the world's largest and richest cities were sacked so hard they literally never recovered) is such obvious cherry picking that it's literally just lying

When did I say that? I said that wheeled vehicles weren't very widespread in Europe and that people prefered using animal packs for transporting commodities before the industrial revolution.

And that's assuming you really are a chrtistian. Which, given the "oy vey, don't you know you owe jews for everything?" shit you started with, I seriously doubt.
As for modern jews' alleged support for homosexuality, it is nothing but damage control and subversion. If the person who banned you from eating meat all of a sudden handed you a hamburger, you should question what's in it.
As previously stated, judaism, of which christianity is a branch, is the sole reason and justification for the criminalization of homosexuality. So when Gentiles finally started reading the torah and consequently abandoning the religion, that justification vanished. To replace it (among other goals) jews pathologized human sexuality into discrete, immutable identities. This allowed them to maintain the myth that homosexual behavior is the exclusive realm of a tiny minority of deviants and continue suppressing the biological reality of near ubiquitous situational bisexuality. A reality they hate because it weakens the influence of one of their favorite weapons; women.

>why Africans didn't have the wheel, they very much did
Some Africans used wheels just like everyone else. Some had them but only used them minimally for things like pottery wheels and not even any sort of man powered cart, while others didn't have wheels at all. If the latter two groups were using wheelbarrows, no one would say shit about them not using wheels just because they weren't using animal drawn wagons. The focus instead would be on animal domestication. Although they did domesticate animals well enough that I doubt such a combination of using wheelbarrows but not wagons would have happened anyway.
>Animal packs obviously
No. Not obviously. With how expensive these animals were, and the fact that you have to feed them, and keep them somewhere, and they get sick and die, it wouldn't have been economical for many people needing to move things relatively short distances within a city to use them at all. But it doesn't take much weight needing to be moved for a cart to be economical. And someone bringing in large amounts of cargo that does require an animal is still financially incentivized to use a wagon so they can carry the most cargo per animal. If someone wasn't transporting enough cargo to need a wagon, but did still need to use an animal due to distance, then yes obviously they wouldn't drag a wagon around for no reason. But the idea that pack animals were this catch all solution that made wheeled vehicles pointless is retarded.

Both the decline in the popularity of judaisim and the beginning of the rewriting of human sexuality go back more than a century. The former does predate the latter by a bit. But that's to be expected. The recapture of homosexuality for a secular world obviously had to be done with secular tools that could only emerge after judaism had begun to weaken.

Historical source mention high usage of animal packs, which were relatively cheap, and riverine transport, there isn't much to argue here.

I know. I'm not one of the people that thinks Africans were all retarded savages. I agree with the anon further up, maybe it was you, that ascribed the comparatively minimal wheel use to the lack of civilizational conditions that would necessitate it. Which could still be seen as a shortcoming on their part. But it's at least more complex of an issue than "they were retarded".
>animal packs, which were relatively cheap
No. Anyone saying horses, oxen, or even donkeys were cheap is not a source I'd trust.
>carrying objects on top of their head
And? Are you going to make fifteen trips doing that every to and from your market stall or whatever instead of one or two with a handcart? No. Not if you can help it. But you're also not going to pay to keep a horse stabled for that, either.

Your entire argument is Jews beguiled the world, even as places as far as India and China into thinking poop sex is gross and pederasts are bad news for any organization, and now Jews have spent the last 60 years securing outrageous privileges for sodomites…. as a trick. Here is the reality: the Christian position on boy botherers isn’t even derived from Leviticus. You could delete the entire book and buttfuckers would still be considered creatures of sin. Again, this irrelevent to you, because in your AIDS addled mind Christians are Jews, Jews themselves are some sort of mythological creature, and you hate Christians, but think it’s more persuasive when you call them Jews?

The ships you've talked about being more efficient than overland travel were even more expensive. Obviously ships were used quite a lot. But also obviously not everyone had one.
>How much weight are we talking about here?
Really depends on how frequently and how far you're carrying things.
>Also I don't see how operating an animal to transport goods for a short distance be economically disadvantageous
How do you not see that? The animals themselves were expensive. And they are an expiring investment. Someone who didn't absolutely need one would be throwing money away buying one. And that's without even considering stabling and feeding them. Less of an issue for say a farmer hauling things into town. But for someone hauling things from one point to another within a city, that's an appreciable expense that, again, necessitates that you are making very good use of the animal to be worth it. If you could do it with a human powered cart instead, you would.
