#autochtonous
on some level the claim that only the palestinians are autochtonous (I consciously use autochtonous here; "indigenous" can mean a number of things that do not preclude other peoples from being native to the land) is a coalition divider and as such maybe let's not discuss it

i actually think that the way that autochtonous jews have universally adopted israeli identity and autochtonous arabs have universally adopted palestinian identity is a pretty good illustration of the fact that both are modern evolutions of cultural concepts deeply rooted in the land

On the one hand, lol they're so cooked. On the other hand, this is in effect an end to an autochtonous Scottish unionist tradition, and the final stage of its assimilation into a broader, overarching British nationalism of a unitary form. On the third, lol they're so cooked
BREAKING: Scottish Tory MSP Graham Simpson has defected to Reform UK.

He is the third MSP the Conservatives have lost this year

Alexander Jagiellon is an insufficiently hated figure in Lithuanian history imo. He was truly, awfully terrible in ways that people dont even realise. For one, he presided over Lithuania's only autochtonous pre-Holocaust Jewish expulsion.
With the caveat that it's possible Grand Duke Alexander beats him.

The Brits are the autochtonous population of the Falkland Islands. They are the first group to have populated those islands and displaced no one in the process of doing so. They actually populated them way less violently than the English and Scots populated the rest of Britain in their ethnogenesis!

Honestly, a solution, albeit an unpopular one, would be to cease referring to the "Semitic" language family altogether too, as that name is not actually meaningfully autochtonous and indeed comes from the rather dated idea all those peoples descend from Shem, son of Noah.

Whether a title of a European ruler can be translated as "rex" in Latin, for instance, is /unbelievably/ important in a medieval European context, probably more important than its autochtonous form.

Also we couldn't read yet, that's another interesting thing. I dont mean in terms of mass literacy, I mean that unlike say the Germanic tribes the Lithuanians never invented an autochtonous form of writing.

What's kind of interesting is it may have even been a deliberate choice at first.

exempli gratia: a common alternative "autochtonous" is used by Albanian nats to justify Greater Albania

MAKE IT BOUNCE IN THE AUTOCHTONOUS HOUSE
MO BOUNCE IN THE AUTOCHTONOUS HOUSE
And now I’m going to have “autochthonous bounce castle” stuck in my head for the rest of the week…

Class-wise, very similar. One important and very distinct caveat is that "Poles" in Lithuania were autochtonous and actually in the bulk better predominantly understood as the descendants of the nobility of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Often they didn't even consider themselves /not/ Lithuanian.

Autochtonous is the best word for this. Indigenous, while synonymous in common parlance, tends to also have a specific context in sociology as only really a relevant term in contexts where a juxtaposed population are settlers.

Gaels are not autochtonous to Britain. I mean no one is but the Picts were there before them.
December 14, 2025 at 8:07 PM
so you have the bulk of humans be genuinely autochtonous but then there are things like *gestures wildly at Mulhorand*

The Identitarians are a specific European branch of racists. They hide their hatred by claiming that "non european cultures are fine, they should just not live together". They think europe is only for white autochtonous people, but ironically theyre pan european.

The failure of that uprising was so total that it actually shattered the power of the autochtonous noble class, and as members of the peasant class stepped in to fill the void of leading the resistance against Tsarist rule, they brought with them an idea of restoring the primacy of Lithuanian

Turns out that if you learn the Latin alphabet literally second after actual Latin speakers, and ~all your subsequent writing is done in that autochtonous writing tradition, its evolution will basically be separate from everyone who only starts writing in the vernacular several centuries later.

Its literal message to Soviet Jews was "can you please move out of the seats of power, to a border wasteland where there is nothing nice or cool or interesting and even the autochtonous peoples of the area tended to avoid for how devoid of anything nice it was"

Very similar to the picture of Bangkok in this thread, Ayutthaya was also home to large numbers of Malays and Lao brought to the city as war captive; autochtonous and refugee Mons; some Vietnamese, Makassarese, and Javanese.

Ethnic groups were settled in their own villages under their own headmen
For those who think migration is modern, made a map of ethnic communities in Old Bangkok

Before 1910, the city had (in various stages of assimilation) Chinese, Mons, Laos, Khmers, Malays, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Persians, Chams; Muslim/Hindu/Sikh Indians, Indonesians, Arabs, and various Westerners

"One state for one people" is not really an acceptable mode of governance anywhere, for that matter, because democratic states should be states of all their people. But it is especially not acceptable in a territory with more than one autochtonous people.

I hate always hated "autochtonous paths", they are always excuses for nothing but autocracy at worse, or social conservatism at best - the nations entire 'spirit' supposedly encapsulated in hating gays.

My Europeanism also comes from my view that there are universal values applicable everywhere

Norn is actually dead, not just attritioned. They do have an autochtonous language, but it's just Shetlandic Scots.
