If it were quietly melted down and not bandied about as some great victory over the outgroup I'd care less, but the most publicized images of this event have the face of Lee carefully removed and cuts ritualistically made into it leaving just enough for the face to remain intact(Fig. 1). Who ever did that had the intent of a humiliation ritual, no matter the intent of anyone else involved, and it has been signal boosted to the moon and back.


I'm not ever really happy when I have to admit that neo-confederates were right about anything, and would like to avoid it in the future.

I think a major part of PF's issue is that they don't seem organic at all, so they get no support from the right wing.


Every time they come up in my circles, everyone starts screaming "FED! FED!" and until they deal with those optics they are going to be left out to hang.

So how do you want me to interact with this post other than saying "nice blog bro!"? We aren't here to be your therapist.


But yes, the detente is over and was over when the state closed churches and masses for COVID. Even when reopening occured, diktats came down as to how Churches were to administer the Eucharist, which I might remind you is the holiest and most central ritual in Christiandom.


So your father-in-law is for all intents and purposes trying to figure out if you are going to be an asset or liability in the culture war. Are you sending your children to a classical school or a public school?

I find this statement unsupported. You can deny the Jews cultural veto in the same way you deny the black Americans, no need to prove anything about chattel slavery never happening in the south.


The focus on the topic generally is why I find white supremacists and nationalists utterly boring.

Corinna is no lamb at all. This is two wolves and a lamb deciding what's for dinner.




So if Yang is a wolf and Corinna is a wolf, who is the lamb?




In a separate vein, I suppose as a society we've aught to figure out what to do with a bunch of infertile, underdeveloped, and purposeless/telosless young people. The usual modes of hedonism I am pretty sure aren't going to an option for this class so it is likely that left alone they go to even more anti-social routes. Any ideology that picks them up is going to have people who have fire and will not age-out of it.


I hope I don't have to impress upon you how much of problem that will become...

I don't think there are any particular reasons to believe PF are "feds" (presumably meaning: led by federal informants?) beyond them being a group that does IRL protests.




The issue is that their uniform looks like the stereotype for "off duty cop" or "soldier in civilian clothes" and they would show up with riot shields out of a police catalog when they first started.

If guns were as easy and cheap to access in the UK as they are in the US then gun crime in Britain would probably rise, just as cheap Balkan guns imported by Albanian gangs have meant higher rates of gun crime in some Western European countries over the last 15 years as EU borders have expanded and become more porous.




You know, as an American libertarian it is far easier for me to say that in this fashion America is far more similar to Brazil than the UK. A total gun ban would just mean that Glocks get auto sears like they do in Chicago, but the entire US.

If Donald Trump wins the general election, disqualified or not, he will still be the president.


I am not going to vote for him and he is a prat, but this is almost a sovereign citizen tier attempt to lawyer what cannot be lawyered, assuming it is actually in good faith.


I am not appreciative of people pushing the Kayfabe that covers "The President is who the most important people believe the president is" to the breaking point like this.

Personally my answer for them would be to create an explicitly opt-in secondary class of marriage that functioned like marriage did in the past. I don't know how long they'd be able to keep it up in the face of regular society, but I imagine it'd be popular enough with islamic immigrants that they'd be able to call any criticism of it racist.




So some sort of privately certified pre-nup?

And if the King of England went around ordering the execution of those who displeased him and it was his right to do so, how long would he keep the crown?


Not very long, I suspect.


Trump is either an insurrectionist or he isn't, and if he wins the General, rules written, by definition he isn't. Disqualifying him from the General is either perfunctory or damaging to the system and not Trump.


The actual fucking solution to the problem of a second Trump term is to corral the power of the executive rather than an executive.
