So on another site I visit various people are doing write ups on obscure or bizarre political ideologies and between things like “Anarcho-Monarchisim” and “Producerism” there’s also “Esoteric Hitlerisim” which is hosed up even for neo-nazisquote:: A mixture of Nazism and a sort of bastardized Hinduism, with a dash of mysticism for flavor. Savitri Devi, the writer and "philosopher" who created the idea and who was deeply influential on later neo-Nazi movements, took Aryanism to a whole 'nother level, stating that not only did the Aryans come from India, but Hinduism was Aryan and Indian peoples in general were all Aryan and thusly connecting pan-Hindu ideologies and Indian nationalism to Nazism. She also applied Nazism to Greek nationalism, and argued for a sort of Pan-European identity based on Aryanism. She was also a great admirer of the Indian caste system, believing that the survival of light-skinned Brahmins after so many centuries in a multiracial society provided "living proof" that racial segregation laws would work.

Readign through this awesome document, Instruction whereafter Mis(s)e Murre, who has been appointed Danish Chancery Cat, is to follow and relate. Apparently some scribes in the Danish Chancery were having a laugh in the early 1700s (the document is officially dated "Actum Cancelliet last year" lol) Some highlights: * He may freely use the appointed holes in the doors to come and go, but in the winter he may use three (3) meows to alert the chancery couriers that a door shall be opened. * When he has been hunting and challenging rats and mice all night, he is freely allowed to sleep and stretch in his residence under the hot stove for six hours (6-9 am + 12-3 pm in the summer, 7-10 am + 1-4 pm in the winter). * Under penalty of losing his bollocks, he may not leave odorous proclama in the cupboards or on the letters, nor may he sniff, swipe or in some other way take advantage of Jørgen's food. * Should it be that the Castle Cats bring forth several accusations and complaints to his disgrace, it must first be brought to his declaration and remittance so the truth can be observed. * In his old age, he may take a helper with right of succession. This helper, who can be one of the Castle Cats or one of his sons, may only enjoy what food Misse Murre leaves, or what he can obtain elsewhere. * On the celebratory days — easter sunday, whit sunday, christmas day — he shall be outfitted with a paper cravat bearing his name thereby to be shown the due respect of his rank. There's more, but that's it for now.

The post-war UK's "groundnut scheme" is so silly it almost sounds like a children's folk tale about how stupid colonialism is:Wikipedia posted:The first problem was the lack of heavy equipment to clear the land for cultivation. Eventually, the project managers found some suitable tractors and bulldozers from Canada and bought U.S. Army surplus tractors from the Philippines. And this was all for the noble cause of abducting tanzanian land to grow crops destined to become vegetable oil for the UK, because by God jolly old England needs its potatoes fried, not baked. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanganyika_groundnut_scheme

quote:When the Colonial Office sent two men to help the locals form their own trade union, the locals decided to go on strike in support of the dockworkers at Dar es Salaam and demanded better pay and more food. The implied surprise is pretty funny. I have to wonder what the Colonial Office expected to happen instead.

In ancient Egypt there was a tax on cooking oil. The pharaoh's tax inspector even visited private homes to make sure that they didn't reuse their cooking oil.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Trebitsch-Lincoln This dude existed. Wikipedia posted:Ignatius Timothy Trebitsch-Lincoln (Hungarian: Trebitsch-Lincoln Ignác, German: Ignaz Thimoteus Trebitzsch; 4 April 1879 – 6 October 1943), born Abraham Schwarz, AKA Ignaz Thimoteus Trebitzsch, AKA Moses Pinkeles, was a Hungarian adventurer and convicted con artist. Of Jewish descent, he spent parts of his life as a Protestant missionary, Anglican priest, British Member of Parliament for Darlington, German right-wing politician and spy, Nazi collaborator and Buddhist abbot in China. The best part is the fact that has has so many aliases and then the first photo of him is him as alias Chao Kung which isn't even listed. And if that date of death stands out, it should: he was poisoned by nazis!

Here is someone else who existed: Taiwanese seperatist and revolutionary Su Bengquote:Having returned to Taiwan for about a year, he established the Taiwan Independence Armed Corps in 1950 which plotted for the assassination of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. When the Taiwan Independence Armed Corps' stash of weapons were discovered hidden on land owned by Su Beng's grandmother in 1951, Su Beng was forced to go into hiding.

There's an public search event being set up for April to attempt to identify possible locations for where Susan Powell's remains might be hidden. Here's a decent summary of the original case, for those that don't want to click out of thread. Reddit posted:As a native Utahn, I can easily remember the weeks of reporting and investigations into her disappearance. This case continues to be unresolved, even with a massive amount of evidence. Susan Powell still hasn't been legally declared dead, despite the local law enforcement closing the case. I hope they get some leads and maybe find her.

In 1717 a pirate called Benjamin Hornigold boarded a trade ship. To everyone's relief his only demand were hats, the reason for this was that his crew had gotten drunk the night before and had thrown all their hats overboard.

During the American Revolution, there was a general by the name of Francis Marion. You may know him as "the Swamp Fox", inspiration for Mel Gibson's character in The Patriot. After finding this story in a tiki drink book, I went to find out the details and there doesn't seem to be anything contradicting it that I can easily find. In 1780, Marion was attending a tavern party in Charleston with other revolutionary officers. The night got rather rowdy and Marion wasn't in the mood to drink, so he tried to leave...only to find that the owner had locked the doors until the party was over. He figured that the only reasonable response was to jump out the second story window, breaking his ankle on landing. He was carried out of the city to recuperate, which allowed him to avoid capture when the British took Charleston shortly after. He organized a small quasi-commando guerrilla unit that spent the rest of the year harassing the British, forming his reputation in the lineage of US special forces. The reason this was in a tiki book? In the 1950s, the Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston made a cocktail called the Ankle Breaker based on cherry brandy and 151 proof rum.
