I will not allow the warlike ways of the migratory hunters defile my worship of the earth goddess, behold the power of our carbohydrate rich diet :breadpill:
Historically the nomads would raid the farmers and carry off their women and have a good laugh about it. The farmers got angry and got to work. A decade later an army armed with metal armor and weapons marched forth and absolutely wrecked the nomads shit. Today, nomads are total losers who occupy the worst land on the planet. Who's laughing now, Chad?

The Hittites both enjoyed the benefits of bronze armor and iron tools. They wrecked Egyptians' shit for well over a decade. And far from experiencing crushing defeats, they more often went the way of the Mongols - establishing themselves as rent seeking despots, settling down in agricultural communities as land barons, and eventually integrating into the overall social strata until a new generation of raiders rolled through.
This historical pattern has echoed into the modern day. Modern colonialism can be described in parallel with nomadic raider culture and follows many of the same tropes.
