Meanwhile in Conservatopia the victim manages to very quickly reach down to his belt, draw his own gun, spin around, and accurately shoot the criminal before getting shot himself, all without harming any other bystanders. Or not.

Blacks are still largely marginalized. The history of oppression is secondary in effect to the fact that we as a society are still loving over minorities. The lower class is disproportionately made up of minorities, and that's largely due to our lovely policies that keep the poor poor. And, as a Russian coming from a family that was probably descended from those serfs, gently caress that comic. It's a completely false equivalency. Modern day descendants of serfs are in no way marginalized. You would not be able to tell if any random Russian you saw in the street was from a privileged background or not. There's nothing holding anyone back based on their lineage other than perhaps the wealth your family has now, and higher education is far more accessible there than in the States.

The Russia one sucks because it assumes that blacks/Africa haven't contributed anything to society, intellectually or artistically, which is not true. Also, Russians were considered to be like a "sub-race" of whites (kind of like the Irish and Jews) because they're Asiatic and not western European (William Buckley said this is why they embraced communism.)

When it comes to Jews vs blacks, the kinds of racism they faced have usually been entirely different on top of it, especially back in the day when people had no problems when people had no problem being blatantly racists" "Those negroes are savages from the jungles who are basically smart enough to be servers and will probably rape all our white women." "You can't trust those Jews, they're way too greedy and clever, always thinking of ways to try to scam money out of you. Just look at how they've taken over the media and banking system. However, if we need a lawyer or an accountant, open up the telephone book and find the most Jewish sounding firm you can."

 HMV is a British music store chain that recently went into administration. It has existed since 1921, so its loss made quite a few people upset, but evidently not quite enough to start buying from there again. They were taken over last week by a compancy called Hilco, but are still trying to cut costs. This was posted on the company's twitter page by a group of staff members that discovered they were all going to be made redundant. All these were deleted a short time later.

The talk a few pages back of British aristocrats who supported Hitler reminded me of a particularly nasty piece of work. Arthur Ronald Nall-Cain, 2nd Baron Brocket. He was a dyed-in-the-wool Tory; he was elected a Conservative MP in 1931 and subsequently raised to the House of Lords upon the death of his father, the first Baron Brocket. He inherited millions from his family's brewing company, and with some of that money he bought the Knoydart Estate in the Highlands of Scotland.  Knoydart is one of the remotest parts of Scotland even today (being cut off by mountains and sea lochs, and only accessible either by boat or a 16-mile walk over rough terrain) and Brocket was the worst kind of absentee landlord, evicting tenants and turning the area into a recreational shooting and fishing playground for the rich. Neville Chamberlain holidayed on Brocket's estate during his time as prime minister. Brocket was also a Nazi sympathiser, which might be putting it mildly - he was a personal guest of Hitler's at his 50th birthday celebrations in 1939, and regularly hosted meetings of prominent Nazi supporters at his houses in England. Not only was he friends with Chamberlain but also with von Ribbentrop, Germany's foreign minister. When war broke out he agitated for a negotiated peace and continued appeasement of Hitler - efforts which obviously failed. To add injury to insult for Brocket, the British government requisitioned his Knoydart house to billet soldiers - particularly commandos and paratroopers who were training in Knoydart. When the war ended, Brocket's equally awful wife ordered the servants to dispose of all cutlery and crockery that might have been touched by the soldiers, as well as everything else that could have come into contact with them - including toilet seats. Brocket also sacked a lot of the estate's staff and continued the long shithead landlord tradition of replacing them with imported loyal gamekeepers, who patrolled the estate and threatened to shoot hill-walkers or shepherds because 'they might be mistaken for red deer'. The community was being slowly squeezed out of its own surroundings to line Brocket's pockets and there seemed to be no way for people to fight back. Finally, however, something snapped, and in 1948 seven men (most of whom had fought in the war) decided to take action against Brocket's poisonous landlordism. On the 9th of November Sandy MacPhee, Duncan McPhail, Henry MacAskill, Jack MacHardy, Archie MacDonald, William Quinn, and Archie MacDougall set out and staked out part of the estate. Of the 52,000 acres owned by Brocket they seized 65 acres of land for themselves, as well as 10,000 acres of hill land for grazing, and began squatting on the land. Their action - which was in the same vein as many land seizures carried out by the Highland Land League in the 19th century - became a celebrated cause throughout Scotland, and when Brocket filed a court order against them, the raiders responded that they were simply following the provisions laid out in the Land Settlement Act of 1919, which allowed for demobilised soldiers to be provided with small farms or crofts from 'under-used' land. The act had been little more than an ineffective fantasy when it was put into law but it did give precedent to the men's acts, and with the Labour landslide government in place at Westminster the Seven were confident that they could win their fight. They even received so much monetary support from well-wishers across Scotland that they were able to hire legal counsel - which advised them to give up the squat and fight the battle purely in the courts, even though the men had proclaimed their willingness to be arrested rather than give up the land. When they left the seized land, they lost their best weapon, and the legal battle was a stonewall by Brocket's far more numerous and far better-paid lawyers. The Labour government also condemned the men and sided firmly with the Nazi Lord Brocket, the Scottish Secretary Arthur Woodburn being particularly strident in his criticisms of the Seven. The nationalist poet Hugh MacDiarmid wrote a disappointed article about the end of the drama, and the whole episode inspired a quite excellent folk song by Hamish Henderson: quote:Twas down by the farm of Scottas (mods please change my name to Tartan Bolshie) Hamish Imlach's rendition of the song is on Spotify and well worth listening to.   The land raid is commemorated by a cairn in the village of Inverie (the only remaining settlement in Knoydart). Brocket actually went on to sell the estate in and in 1999 the Knoydart Foundation bought the land to be held in trust for the few inhabitants left in the area rather than exploited by an outside landlord. Land reform remains an important issue in rural parts of Scotland with community buyouts becoming more common in the past few years, and although actual Nazis are not very common, the exploitation of parts of the Highlands and Islands by rich businessmen and aristocrats does continue. Until the land is owned fully by the people who actually live there, the cause for which the Seven Men of Knoydart fought will still be one worth fighting for, albeit one that tends to get overlooked in the more urban focus of modern left-wing movements in the developed world.

Fandyien posted:So I tried posting this on another board, and someone posted this in response: The Jewish diaspora was formed by a combination of families leaving Judaea voluntarily - and it is often forgotten that even before the first systematic acts of persecution against the Jews in the second century BC there were already thousands of Jews living abroad - and those fleeing the conditions within Judaea created by destructive military campaigns. Other than the Babylonian exile of 597 BC, in which the Judaean aristocracy were forcefully removed by the Babylonians, there was never a forced exile of the Jews in antiquity. Most Jews who left Judaea were also those who A) had skills that allowed them to work abroad or B) were wealthy enough to do so; antisemitism existed in antiquity, but it seldom took on the violent form of later history, and so most Jews were able to form stable communities abroad and function within the societies in which they lived. This meant that those who comprised the diaspora were by and large able to receive educations, work openly, and enjoy reasonable amounts of freedom, even if they were alienated from those with whom they cohabited. As time went on, however, Christianity became pervasive, and antisemitism increased and grew more violent. Nevertheless, Jewish communities always had that foundation laid in antiquity that created a culture of education, scholarship, mercantilism, and artisanship, which allowed Jewish communities to survive even in oppressive environments. West Africans, on the other hand, were from the beginning forcibly brought to America as slaves and kept enslaved for generations. Then, after they were largely emancipated, there were by and large no stable, well-established African-American communities into which they could integrate, and they were still actively and violently excluded, basically up until the civil rights era. Thus, they were never able to establish that foundation that most Jewish communities had.  Assyrians driving conquered opponents into exile, much as the Babylonians drove the Judaean elite into exile in Babylon.

Profanity is profanity, it's not necessarily making a negative association with the other meanings of the word. I say "oh my god" or "jesus christ" pretty often despite not being religious. I could be wrong, though!  I doubt there's anything better than LoGH for out of context quotes.

The two workers were told to "pass by the obviously normal" immigrant and choose individuals from the great mass of "average immigrants" for testing. They selected 35 Jews, 22 Hungarians, 50 Italians, and 45 Russians. Based on the results of those tests, Goddard claimed that 80 percent of the Hungarians, 79 percent of the Italians, 87 percent of the Russians, and 83 percent of the Jews were "feebleminded."
