Giant was adopted as an emeritus title: Imperial Giant for an ex-Imperial Wizard, Grand Giant for an ex-Grand Dragon, Great Giant for ex-Great Titan and Klan Giant for an ex-Exalted Cyclops.[48]

A Kleagle was a recruiter and was responsible for organizing local Klans

The White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan created some innovations in their organization including a bicameral Klongress

Klankraft or Klanishness – the overall practice and state of being a Klan member.

The Klan year, Anno Klanslar, began in March of each year, and the cycle was reckoned from December of each calendar year.[80]

Yea, Simmons, the guy who recreated the KKK after watching Birth of a Nation on Stone Mountain on American Thanksgiving in 1919 (I think) was a real wacky guy. He also created Klanversation. It was a secret language that klansmen could communicate "secretly". A Klansman I am became Akia! and then there was something else that was San Bog! but I can't remember any specifics because I don't have my 40 page essay on the Klan anymore. The Klan of the 20s may have been a grift, but it became way more powerful than it had ever been before. That was the Klan that expanded into the North and West, that ruled Indiana and marched down Pennsylvania Avenue. They were only broken when the IRS sent them a bill for back taxes, so none of the murders or arsons or other terrorist activities they did got them.

They didn't lose power in Indiana until their Governor savagely raped a woman, he was so animalistic he bit one of her nipples off.

thats JFG, the alt rights most legit academic

Destiny exposed him over a year ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/Destiny/comments/7mvw4e/jf_memes_repost_without_links_to_court_documents/

quote:

Finally I looked into the dude's 2016 court case. This poo poo is BONKERS.

I heard destiny talk about this obliquely on stream so I googled it and apparently the dude was dating some woman who was mentally incapacitated. Not sure exactly what happened but the court ended up granting her a temporary guardian, which he protested, seeking an injunction. Eventually the court granted her parents full guardianship. Throughout this JF represented himself. Here's a link to what the attorneys representing the woman (described as the "Ward") and her family: [removed, see top of post]

Here are some quotes (bear in mind this is from the attorneys opposing JF). Apologies if you've all heard all this before:

"Relator [...] is an individual who lured a young woman to another state so that he could admittedly try to have a baby with her, while at the same time he was married to another woman who just had a baby."

"Relator's entire mandamus proceeding seems to hinge heavily on the fact that he believes Ward is pregnant. Ward is not pregnant and this was stated on the record at the hearing. [...] Relator believes Ward is pregnant simply because he had relations with her after he lured her out of her parents' house to another state."

"Relator also continues to call the Ward his fiancee when he is already married to another woman in North Carolina."

The report goes on to relate that the psychologist hired by the Ward's guardian concluded that she has the social and mental maturity of a 10 or 11-year old child, and that she has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

At the end of this document is the actual court transcript where JF says

"Okay. So, I'm her fiancee and we were trying to make a baby. We have been living together for three weeks We've been together promising loyalty to each other since January 2016. This is what I mention in my motion to intervene and my affidavit."

Then there's the psychiatric evaluation which tells the story from the woman's point of view. And yeesh.

"I asked her how she was planning to take care of herself in North Carolina and she responded that she and Jean Francois were going to work on a cooking show. She was not aware of how much money he has or how much money he makes. I asked her about the possibility of being pregnant and being a mother having to take care of a small child. She stared, was quiet, and no answer was ever given. Later she stated that she liked animals and that she has 3 cats. I asked her if she would be able to take care of herself if something happened to Jean-Francois or if he left and again she had no response."

JFG claimed this autistic girl was actually really smart and that only he knew how to unlock her intelligence and divine her true intentions

looking at that clip and how he explains what she says away he has found another victim

Actually, I don't think this has been a thing for a long time. Part of the reason you had the sub>dub thing to begin with was because a lot of dubbing studios were pretty lovely back in the day like 4kids and Funimation, and a lot of that (but not all) had to do with the fact that anime was targeted mainly at the babbys so a lot of these companies didn't feel the need to put in much effort (not to mention they enacted a shitload of changes which pissed off the otaku crowd).

But nowadays, you don't really have that kind of problem anymore. In fact I think it's more common to see the general consensus being dub > sub (I have no data to back this up).

I think it generally depends on the show. Even back in the day DBZ was a bit of a faultline there, since even in the cheesy 'HFIL' days the dub was pretty good, and a lot of people can't get over Goku still being voiced by a granny. (he has the same VA he had back in Dragon Ball days ,which was suitable for a preteen...) It's pretty goofy in either language, and at least the dub translates the jokes or makes new ones to replace the puns that don't translate. (the naming schemes aside. Toriyama is one of those authors who figured out that you'll never have trouble coming up with names if you go full hog into themed puns)

Not to mention you've got the Mexican Spanish dubs, since DBZ is gigantic in Latin America.

Yeah, I was more referring to Funi's third season of DBZ when Sabat and Schemmel, and co. took over. The first two seasons of DBZ had a lot of bad dialogue, and insane edits (though in many case, these actually made the sshow more tolerable, imo), but they had professional voice actors and composers. By contrast, the VA cast for season 3 were all internal hires, most, if not all, had no experience in voice acting whatsoever (Sabat was originally one of the video editors or something, iirc), and Faulconer only did like one or two weird home and garden T.V. shows before he got he got in charge of doing the music.

Of course, Sabat and co. have come a LONG way since then, but those episodes were ROUGH.

Probably just as well that everyone's standards were pretty low for anime dubs back in those days, and even with heavy editing DBZ was a totally different tone to everything else on the market. Hell, a show where continuity directly flowed from one episode to the next was rare in children's shows rather than one that returned to the status quo every episode.

One thing I remember from studying the Indiana iteration of the Klan, apart from finding out that my hometown changed Labor Day to Klan Day temporarily during Stevenson's rise, was how the Klan managed to hone its message for the GOP when the Dems were deemed too corrupted by Catholic immigrants.

At the time, most of Indiana's black community was still loyal to the GOP, though the trend line for their eventual trajectory into the Democrats was already evident. As the Klan had decided to use the Republicans as their vehicle to power, given the state's politics and the GOP's general distrust of Catholics, they actually tailored a message asking for black support or at least sought to keep them from sympathizing with other minorities.

George Dale, the editor of the Muncie Post-Democrat, waged a pretty famous campaign against the Klan in Indiana, and a number of his articles focus on the Klan's attempts to divide and defame minorities. These included hiring women who claimed to be "ex-nuns" and use them to testify to various crimes committed by Catholics. The most egregious article I read back when involved an African-American state GOP operative echoing Klan propaganda that lynchings in the South were primarily carried out by "Jews and Catholic immigrants."

What we got ain't nothing new, I guess.

The Hoosier State Chronicles has a pretty decent cross-section of Dale's writings and insults, which are all pretty amazing. This article kinda breaks down his life and the context of the time pretty well too:

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Cold: the precise logic flowing
Hard: the facts with which we own
Push to keep the Left from coming
Feel the madness that we sow

This: the song of deadbeat fathers
Hide the heart of who we are
Making videos to build our followers
Bitter, alienated, posting 'till we fall

And we all grift, and we're all in this grift
together, together
Though we're Patreon-less, 'till we're penniless
together, together

perusing the Wikipedia page and given that this a French-Japanese production is it safe to say this is where anime learned to develop borderline incomprehensible worldbuilding and storylines based off stuff the writers perused at the occult bookstore?
