      It's pretty telling how consistent it is that when European settlers assimilated into Native communities they never expressed any interest in coming back but when the reverse occurred people tried to escape and return constantlyhttps://twitter.com/perdricof/status/1295440935157989377 …

      Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li @perdricof
      apparently when the lost colony wrote "croatoan" on a tree they literally meant "we are going to live with the croatoan" and then "nobody could find them" because they assimilated and i guess that was unimaginable to the subsequent english https://www.pilotonline.com/news/vp-nw-not-lost-20200817-qgmblubzt5dyjm3jrcop25ssoq-story.html …

      I'm always telling people that the entire reason men stopped wearing their hair long in America is because it was outlawed to prevent them from leaving European communities to join Native ones

      This has historically been one of the major reasons for military regulations on haircuts and grooming all the way up to the present day

      It's a pretty basic way to mark soldiers as different from the local population of the occupied territory and keep them from mixing, often more effective than wearing a uniform

          Yeah, when I was in line for a ride at Disneyland ten years ago this little kid behind me randomly asked me if I was a soldier and because I had nothing on to indicate me as military that really freaked me out

          Don’t discount the degree to which it is also about annihilating any concept of individual identity

          Is the Manchu queue the inverse of this or a realization of it?

          Replying to @Rage_Crayon @Nymphomachy

          The name of the Qing ("Pure") Dynasty comes from the way the Manchu conquerors justified themselves and their actions as purifying the corrupt and decadent Ming by putting the whole country under quasi-military discipline, and the queues were definitely a part of that
