How did Europeans reach their current level of economic and military dominance in the world?

Civilization moves in cycles. There was a time when whites were primitive and in comparison men and women of color were trailblazing science, philosophy, architecture, art, agriculture, etc for the world. Things change.

Came to say this. Civilizations are cyclical. At one point Asiatic nations ruled, at others African. It's like Hip-hop. It started in New York, then the west had it, now it's the South (I'll let you guess which group is which coast )

Yeah, Ima leave that one alone

OP, don't let that shyt make you sad, let it make you angry. Cacs are evil fukks who want to subjugate those different from them. Never trust a cac, never be friendly to them unless it will make you $$$. fukk them pieces of shyt.

And never get brainwashed by nationalism. Your race is your nation. Fight for black sovereignty, don't put your life on the line for those b*stards.

civil rights and affirmative action isnt going to to achieve that though

Neither is liberalism or conservatism going to to achieve that neither. They are both concepts developed from a White supremacist paradigm. We need new concepts and a plan of action.

capitalism, individual freedom and economic freedom will achieve that

Yes. But like minded individuals should USE capitalism not be used by it. Capitalism is only a one tool in the toolbox to achieve a goal. Should it be the main tool for a time? Sure. But at it's core it is still is just as flawed the other socialism and communism. Should Black people use it? MOST DEFINITELY! Economic freedom is only works for an oppressed group if it is able to be leveraged through aggregate wealth building strategies and activities. In other words a plan or at least some type of silent collusion should be put into effect. Political dogma and catch phrases mean absolutely nothing. Especially when it is develop my outsiders who have never had you best interest at heart.

im not necessarily disagreeing with you except for 1) capitalism is not political dogma or a moral code, capitalism is neutral, it tells you nothing about politics or about morality 2) catch phrases can mean anything you want to mean but they do mean something, they mean what you want them to mean, and if you want to create a strategy collusion you do need catch phrases and meanings that everybody agrees on

Look up the great treasure fleet under the Ming Dynasty of China, that made excursions to East Africa, Arabia and India about a century before the Portuguese first sailed through those waters... the only difference is the Chinese had no desire to subjugate these peoples where as the European powers did.

You can literally list so many factors that contributed to the rise of modern western civilization... the accumulated knowledge of human achievement and thought from Mesopotamia and the early civilizations all the way through to Greece/Rome eventually ended up back in the west thanks to the crusades and the fall of byzantine, but also Europe was in a constant state of war for about a millennium with each other and outsiders ultimately leading to massive innovations in warfare (they also created the first hand cannons from the prototype of the Chinese fire lance which they had used against the mongols) .
