But there’s enough of a problem you can see even if you just start at Julius, which is what I was concentrating on in my previous comment. The parallels to Trump are terrifyingly on the nose.
True that.
Weirdly enough (or perhaps not surprisingly) I see the same here with Bolsonaro supporters; there’s a disproportionally high amount of them among classicists, even if humanities as a whole leans heavily to the left.
As another user and me were discussing, in another thread about the same topic, I believe that the 10% admix is likely due to coastal settlements here in South America. Nothing too fancy, just to facilitate trade. Specially with the folks in Central Andes, as the Andeans had a good and large (albeit land-based) trade network already. And, well, when you run this sort of settlement you’re bound to interact with locals, right?
