Alchenar posted:I mean, if you were black then the 'gentlemanly' resolution to the ACW was pretty terrible and set you up for another hundred years of full blown legal discrimination to keep you firmly at the bottom of the civic ladder. We didn't go straight from the war to Jim Crow, there was a post war terrorist movement and it eventually won a victory that stood for almost a century. Before black voters were suppressed legally they had to be suppressed violently.

Japan has some pretty prominant far-right movements, and one is a hotel that likes to put far-right literature in its rooms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=016PrRp-2kk It's certainly an interesting approach to present their revisionist history translated into English in a place where foreigners will be able to see it.

We should a) have a new thread, this one is as big as the others were before they were shunted to the archives, and b) have a reading list in the OP.

It's thematically appropriate that the thread is bloated and unwieldy though. If you do do (heh) it though, I'd reserve 2-3 posts after the OP so you can update it with effortpost links

This page is probably the hardest to read in the entire diary (I'm sure there will be a comment about how easy that actually is to read compared to others people deal with!  ). That's the bad news.The good news is that there is a report by the Battalion C.O. on the action which is very similar - image below.  13th KRRC War Diary, 26th 1918 posted:The Btn was relieved by K.O.S.B. and on relief about 4.30 a.m. moved LOGEAST WOOD Logeast Wood is a large area of woodland to the Northwest of Achiet-le-Grand. For some reason it is unlabelled on google maps so it took a bit of hunting around to find out where it was. And finally let's have a report on what was captured during the last few days -

It'll be an expensive project, but think of the economies of scale. The reliance on manned posting is anachronistic, all our likely adversaries - Russia and China in particular - are far ahead of us in unmanned posting. In order to increase synergies, reduce the number of Unintentional False-Positive Posts (UFPP) in other threads, I propose a Common Posting Platform (CPP) to improve accuracy, speed, and content of Posts on Target (POT). The CPP should be linked and fully networking-capable to enable fourth- and fifth-generation shitposting with laser-accuracy to increase lethality. It will also allow accurate posting even in heavily-derailed situations like Tank Destroyer Debate Environments (TDDE) and still enable semi-accurate posting in Fascism Definition Debate Environments (FDDE). It will also be VTOL and stealth.

If we're going to such an expense then the next thread should be multi-mission capable to be better able to handle the ever changing face of posting. Future History, if you will.

The NGMPS needs to include male fashion advice as well. This is completely non-negotiable and if it doesn't my branch will not participate in the project and will withhold all future posts from the project.

In 3 or 4 days time I'll post the casualty numbers for the month, and you can judge whether it was a success or not. (But yes, it's a resounding success)13th KRRC War Diary, 27th 1918 posted:A quiet day resting. Day was devoted to men cleaning up, and inspections of fighting equipment.
