So, if this noted idiot is actually telling the truth, I can look forward to Kraut and Tea at least being ruined in a few days because he can't go a week without spewing racist bullshit on every single one of those platforms.

Would he only be blocked in Germany, or would he be blocked everywhere because he lives in Germany?

I think DeFranco would be a thousand times more tolerable solely by stopping doing those annoying rear end jump cuts.

I think I made a post much earlier in this thread about how Phillip DeFranco's general demeanor really bugs me, because it always comes off like he's acting overly concerned about everything he says and like he's making a conscious effort to project a "genuine" demeanor or something. It brings to mind the image of a guy walking up to some girl who looks sad and acting faux-compassionate in an attempt to hit on her (I know this is kind of bizarrely specific, but I can't think of any other way to explain it). Just rubs me the wrong way for some reason.

I think it was (unfortunately) Maher who nailed it by pointing out that Tucker Carlson consistently has the expression of a man who's just poo poo himself. Seriously click anywhere along that video and try and find a still image of him that doesn't give the impression of someone desperately clenching to stem the flow.

It will never cease pissing me off that they call the fascist salute "Roman". Not a single old Roman depiction actually uses that loving salute. It was an invention of 1700s playwrights. The only actual ancient Roman salutes he actually have look like they're reaching up to give you a hand shake or half point at things.

Its kinda funny watching people on youtube just plaster the assumption that monoethnic states are more stable/prosperous and never examine it while unironically pining for rome.

That's because they watch snake oil historians like stefan molyneux and assume that his take is the only take on rome.

There's been a few calls for Classicists to try to 're-claim' Rome from alt-right weirdos, but that's a hell of a political project

You also have idiots like Davis Aurini who claim that slaves in Rome were "treated fairly well (for the most part)."

I've also noticed that he seems to always add that "for the most part" to every bit of apologism he mentions.

I mean by comparison to Colonial and American chattel slavery, sure. There was a chance of freedom, citizenship, it wasn't inter-generational by design, and I don't think there were patrols marauding around the countryside looking for anyone that 'looked a bit like a slave' whether they were slave or freeman and abducting them.

Then again these fuckers think that kind of slavery wasn't so bad because "plantation slaves were fed and sheltered and only the ones that acted out were mutilated (for the most part)."

And yet again they think that feeding and sheltering people universally in exchange for any loss of freedom no matter how trivial, say a small tax increase, is socialism and therefore slavery and the worst thing ever.

This depends on how you became a slave. If you couldn't speak Latin and looked poor it was entirely possible to be press-ganged into a salt mining job with a 20-50% annual mortality rate because you "looked like a slave". The markers weren't brown skin and curly hair but there was still definitely a slave look that was recognized. Hell if you want a very very mild modern version accent snobbery/pronunciation instantly identifying your social class and income up until fairly recently in England.

i seem to recall that occasionally, pirates would slit the ears of a wrongdoer before marooning him so he'd be mistaken for a slave and his life would become a guaranteed living hell

emperor nero was a bottom, and the historians of the day made drat sure that's what he was remembered for

quote:

He so prostituted his own chastity that after defiling almost every part of his body, he at last devised a kind of game, in which, covered with the skin of some wild animal, he was let loose from a cage and attacked the private parts of men and women, who were bound to stakes, and when he had sated his mad lust, was dispatched by his freedman Doryphorus; for he was even married to this man in the same way that he himself had married Sporus, going so far as to imitate the cries and lamentations of a maiden being deflowered. I have heard from some men that it was his unshaken conviction that no man was chaste or pure in any part of his body, but that most of them concealed their vices and cleverly drew a veil over them; and that therefore he pardoned all other faults in those who confessed to him their lewdness.

he even had a fursuit, evidently

Everything was incredibly easy to make up back then. Herodotus spent more time making his stories entertaining than accurate. Also slandering a leader was a good way to eat poo poo so everyone just libeled when it came time to officially remember. Nero probably got the worst of it because he was a legit piece of poo poo so the embellishments are all over and hard to distinguish. It wasn't limited to Romans either

Still being alive and in power didn't stop anyone from accusing you of Sex Stuff. Julius Caesar was fairly constantly called the "Queen of Bethynia" by his enemies after his diplomatic mission to their king lasted a biiiiit too long for their tastes. "Caesar conquered Gaul, but Nicomedes conquered Caesar," etc.
