It's you. You're the "well did you know George Washington owned slaves?!" guy at parties. Do you go around on Columbus Day reminding people that Christopher Columbus was in fact not good?

Wrong. Someone going out of their way to MOLON LABE is not the same as the people who shrug their shoulders / ignore the poop of Columbus or Washington. Molons deserve to be mocked or at least gently educated that they're sharing a co-sponsorship with white supremacist nazi gun nuts.

flight of T-38s heading towards Offutt cruising real nice and slow around the totality zone right near the peak. What are the odds that it was a normally scheduled flight, and what are they that it was a few Colonels or staff officers suddenly needing to fulfill some annual requirement?

The Pioneer Press put out an article about the Confederate flag the 1st Minnesota captured at Gettysburg. Virginia has asked for it back many times and we've told them to get hosed every time. Lots of whining in the comments section about how the Civil War wasn't about slavery.

hosed up how the former capital of the Confederacy is more or less developed and civilized, but is also surrounded by throngs of people that can't move past that poo poo that would sooner live in the past than address the third world conditions in which they live. The other day in the antique store near me someone was drat near moved to tears to see that they had some confederate flag merchandise for sale. :banjo:

Also this eclipse business is loving cool even though I'm nowhere near a totality zone.

Not an exact science, but if I see these things you're trending the wrong way.

And the SAD! thing is, you see this imagery and lingo repped heavily in the military. In particular in combat arms/special operator/gun enthusiast culture. I got into a FB debate with some Black AF Captain (I'm black as well) about how alot of that poo poo IS dogwhistle racism and why the NRA can't be trusted to advocate for minorities.

Gettysburg has the most shops selling WW2 memorabilia I've ever seen. They do a super brisk sales in Nazi gear from what I saw in person.

Well, we had cloud cover here in a totality zone, but it got dark as gently caress in a very cool/freaky way, the geese freaked out, and the nightjars came out to hunt, then were like "wtf, back to bed" when the sun came back out.

So look forward to seeing Trump high five himself while surrounded by service members tonight.

Yes. Yes I do. Because Columbus was a shitheel.

Also: No, I don't do the "George Washington owned slaves" routine, because in the context they are attempting to use it (comparing Lee to Washington) is invalid, because Washington wasn't fighting a war for Abolition, whereas Lee knew what the Secession was about, still marched with the South, and regularly rounded up black families to send back to the Confederacy.

Oh, these same guys wearing the Molon Labe poo poo are the ones who also appose Gay Marriage and Gay Rights while praising a society that regularly endorsed such things.

And still: gently caress anyone that thinks the Spartans were cool other than their Battle Tactics, and its no surprise that people usually buying into the Molon Labe poo poo are the same ones spouting All Lives Matter and think the Tea Party was anything more than a white tantrum over a black guy being President.

No one who rolls around with Molon Labe gear cares about the historical reality. People who love the idea of Spartan warriors love the image from Gates of Fire, or more likely from 300 the movie/comic book. Or they love the pithy defiance and heroic last stand that people have been romanticising since Simonides of Ceos. If I airbrush a charging knight upon his faithful destrier on the side of my van, I don't actually give a poo poo about the oppressive nature of the feudal system or the homoerotic undertones of the knight/squire relationship. You're a self-aggrandizing killjoy who is smugly trying to "gotcha" people you look down on solely in service of your own dreary sense of superiority.
