Good! May it not only continue, but increase!

HOW many Saxonmen did you shed the blood of, Charlemagne!?

BANNED until you submit to a public struggle session and a loyalty dance to demonstrate your dedication to the cause of the peasants and proletariat!

Oh good, it would’ve been terrible if all that talk about national self-determination was just stalling to set up post-independence neocolonial concessions that would end up destabilizing the region!

Life goals.

I think it’s just very jowel-y.

I’m honestly still not sure if this is drawing of a statue or a primitive photograph of a statue.

Always happy to share! 🙏

I ask from the comm a moment of nostalgia for shooting Nazis instead of asspatting them 😔

No, there’s no scheduling tool for Lemmy, or else I probably would, honestly.

I just try to make at least one post at day. If I come across more than one interesting thing or have some time to paw through my sources, I try to remember to come back in two or so hours to post it as well.

Generally my posts cluster around a few sources for a stretch of time - for the past two weeks I’ve been relying on 4 sites for artifacts, for example, and I think all of my posts have been from one of the four. Eventually I’ll move on to some other sources and do the same with them for a few weeks.

We are the red guards of Chairman Mao, we make the country writhe in convulsions. We tear and destroy calendars, precious vases, records from the USA and England, amulets, ancient drawings and elevate above all this the portrait of Chairman Mao!

My dearest beloved,

You did not adequately warn me as to the nature of your missive. I was on the omnibus, and when I laid my gentle, unsullied eyes upon the impassioned strokes you traced upon the page, I lost all sense of inhibition and shamed myself in public. The whole of the carriage fixed their gazes upon me and made such shocked utterances as “What in heavens’ name?!” and “Call for the constables!” The paper slipped from my hand, and every eye among us was inescapably drawn to the lurid substance upon it. Now the cargo entire of this poor coachman is indulged in mutual, gleeful, primal self-shaming, with only the company of our fellow degenerates in abject, howling adulation of your work.

My love, I do not wish to level accusations against you, nor assign blame to such a pure and innocent soul - but it must be stated, objectively and distinctly, that this entire shameful incident could have been avoided had you only ensured, in modest and decent fashion, a forewarning upon the paper of the nakedly sensual content therein.

An ankle flash!? Her reputation would be ruined for life! 😭

If you lean towards descriptivism, it would be extremely strange to tell another group that their word with citable usage isn’t real.

If you lean towards prescriptivism, then Merriam-Webster is literally the dictionary.

Brian doesn’t have a leg to stand on for either side.

Merriam-Webster is literally the dictionary, and Brian is trying to correct them on what is and is not a word.

By benefiting from the genocide, I meant that his government benefited from the availability of valuable land that had been depopulated, and that it was easier to enforce cultural erasure and ethnic assimilation after the dirty work of mass slaughter had already been done.

Oh, yes, certainly. If memory serves, Ataturk refused certain minorities expelled during the Ottoman Empire the right to return in some regions, on the account that, while what happened to them was horrible, it would be ‘dangerous’ for them to return amongst simple country folk who still bore those gruesome prejudices. Which is, of course, also horribly convenient for establishing those areas as Turkish-dominated going forward.

Explanation: After the ultraconservative dictator Sulla couped the Roman government, one of the more infamous actions he performed was proscribing his enemies - placing them on a list wherein anyone and everyone was allowed to kill them, allowing the government to seize their wealth. The thing is, Sulla’s enemies expanded at some point during the process from “People who had wronged him” to “People who had money he wanted”. Curious how that works!

Explanation: Displayed are certain members of the Habsburgs, whose propensity to royal inbreeding led to some… interesting heirs.

You’re not making a case here for the Zionists.

I’m not trying to make a case for the Zionists, I’m pointing out that your idea that “NATO” or “The Allies” ‘gave land’ to Israel because they ‘felt bad’ about the Holocaust is absolute nonsense.
