 Propaganda for Irgun, a Jewish paramilitary that was right wing as hell, lead by Menachem Begin, bombed the King David hotel and performed ethnic cleansing against the Arab village of Deir Yassin.    Vietnamese troops walking through Phnom Penh after capturing it in the short Vietnamese-Cambodian War which effectively deposed of Pol Pot.

Dan Piraro owns, I read his book Bizarro Among the Savages, where he details staying in the homes of fans during a book tour, when I was in middle school. It's an awesome collection of stories about all these weird people Dan meets and how he uncovers a common humanity in all of them. I'm pretty sure it introduced the concept of gay people being totally normal, loving human beings to my sheltered, suburban, 13-year-old mind.

McDowell posted:Is there anyone who isn't white, over 30, and not using a lawnchair? Jesus I can't help but feel a little sad knowing this is how the baby boomer generation will be remembered. They grew up during one of the most economically prosperous times in American history, had it taken away from them thanks to Reaganomics and corporate welfare queens and yet they still show up at rallies like this to bake their type II diabetes-riddled bodies in the sun and demand more of the same political and economic abuse.

 In a cartoon from a broadsheet sponsored by 'thousands of Louisiana white patriots', Huey Long is criticized for advancing programs that benefited African Americans. The text of the broadsheet focuses on the dangers of abolishing the poll tax and refers to black voters as the 'mongrel vote'.

Kelly's not as funny as he used to be.  I've lurked a lot in this thread, and back in the LF days, and I've never seen reference a graphic novel called Brought To Light. Is this because is's so well known, or because no one's ever heard of it? (Or because it's old news and discredited?  )I was a comic nerd back in the early 90s, and had an interest in Bill Scienkiewicz, which is how I found this. It's a double sided book, with two parts - you can flip it over and start at either end. The cover that I've photographed below is the bit that dragged me in - illustrated by Scienkiewicz and written by Alan Moore. It's the Oliver North/Contragate scandal, with pictures! If anyone's interested, I'll take some more pics! It's been a while since I've read it, actually - I'll take it to bed tonight, see if it still stands up.

Apropos of the "Virginity/Primitivism" thread: Abbots Bromley Horn Dance, an old tradition in Staffordshire, England. They've been doing these dances since the 1500s, but there's not clear records the antlers were involved until the 1600s. However, the antlers themselves are carbon-dated to 1100 AD.  "White people have no culture" is a terrible "no gently caress you dad" childish statement, and coincidentally horribly white-normative.

Oh the Tim Turner people. These guys are nuts. I think this is the group that sent out a bunch of letters to different members of the federal government a few years ago telling them all to resign because they're not the real government. e: Guardians of the Free Republic and they sent letters to all of the governors of the 50 states. Granholm was still governor of Michigan then. http://gotfr.org/ HUGE PUBES A PLUS fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Jul 15, 2012 |

Below are some maps of the regions of southern France in which the Occitan language was historically spoken. Occitan is a Romance language, closely related to Catalan, that has a rich literary and musical history dating from the early medieval period. As the result of a concerted effort by the post-revolutionary French government to impose standard French throughout the country very few people speak Occitan openly in France today. Some efforts are being made to revive the language among young speakers but after generations of institutionalized French instruction and marginalization of Occitan speakers, the ultimate fate of the language is yet to be determined.   The Pater Noster in Occitan:  A song in Occitan by Italian folk rock band Lou Dalfin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UA4XNZrr9c

These people are basically sedevacantists except it's for the US government instead of the Papacy.  This is Pope Michael I or David Bawden as normal people call him. quote:Bawden was elected by a group of six lay sedevacantists, which included himself and his parents, who had come to believe that the Catholic Church had seceded from the Catholic faith, and that there had been no legitimate popes elected since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958.
