Nationalism can be anti-imperialistic while still being a racist bag of poo poo.

They're Mediterranean mongols.

And while we're on the subject of anti-imperialism directed at the Ottomans:

The term you're looking for is "steppe nomads."

They were a multi-ethnic cultural phenomenon that could arguably considered one of the oldest and most influential societies in history. Even into the 19th century, they could still hold their own against modern empires despite using largely the same technology and tactics they did for hundreds of years. On top of that, they drank fermented yogurt, practically lived on their horses to the point that they're the reason centaurs were thought to have existed, and would hot box yurts by burning large piles of marijuana. If you don't think these peoples are awesome then you just proved you don't know what awesome is.

And the author is a mad genius and i love it so much. The linework is absolutely bananas and the story is pretty fun!

Latest volume talks about the idea of private spaces for men and women, including a concept I suppose had to have existed but I never thought about : Islamic women using the women's public baths as a meeting place for those who could otherwise be cut off from casual interaction.

Also introduced a concept of 'sworn sisters', which I knew existed in China, but I'm trying to figure out if it existed in the Islamic world as well. The Author is kind of obsessed with this time period, so I'm wondering where they found sources on it, if so.

He was talking about horse nomads. The Ottomans in the 19th century, uh, were not horse nomads.



Though by then nearly all of the actual steppe peoples had already been subjugated by Russia.

The Great Twist

There's a lot of fluff in that article. Here's the basics.

quote:

...an employee and a patron arrested at a public event...

[by] ...a private security guard... an off-duty police officer, both employed by the Jewish Community Foundation....

...Police have stood by the arrests, saying that off-duty officers hired by an event sponsor acted properly in helping private security stop an audience member from asking follow-up questions after a short exchange with Ross. The audience member, Jeremy Rothe-Kushel of Lawrence, was standing still and speaking into a microphone when a private guard and off-duty police officers removed him....

...Rothe-Kushel is charged in city court with trespassing and resisting arrest...

...his question concerned whether Jewish Americans such as himself should be concerned about actions by the U.S. and Israel that amount to “state-sponsored terrorism.”
