The types of people who post stuff like that don’t care about religion either. Sentiments like those are just shibboleths meant to demonstrate belonging to the tribe of Chud

I'm almost certain that the flag was designed as a reaction to Confederate soldiers murdering surrendering black soldiers.

I'm making some wild-rear end assumptions here, but I think what happened was that since there were so goddamned many regiments being formed for the Civil War, some enterprising person started making blank regimental flags and got lazy, printing "TH" on all of them since the majority of the flags would be going to regiments appropriately numbered.

The 22nd's banner, as well as individualized banners for the 10 other US Colored Troops regiments mustered at Camp William Penn near Philadelphia, were made by David Bustill Bowser, a member of a prosperous and active black Philadelphia family. He was (primarily) a commercial painter. Bowser was also a businessman, philanthropist, abolitionist, recruiter, actively in civil rights of the day in PA and Philadelphia, a stop on the Underground Railroad, and painter of a portrait of John Brown from when Brown spent the night at the Bowser's. His wife was a seamstress, which worked well for their business. There is at least one surviving USCT banner, from the 127th. That banner informs/verifies the bold colors on the replicas of the banner from the 22nd. There are contemporary (or at least within 25 years or so) pictures of a few of the regimental banners, including the 22rd, which is how the form of the replica was preserved. Several USCT banners were given to the West Point Museum for preservation in 1906, but were thrown out in 1940. The "th" as a generic abbreviation for any ordinal number was apparently a thing in the mid to late 1600s. It may have been a printing/typesetting issue(?) rather than a spoken or written convention. In any event, 200 years later in 1863, 22nd would have been abbreviated the same way we do. Bowser also did the banner for the 3rd USCT Regiment, and abbreviated it 3RD So who knows why the 22th? joat mon fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Nov 12, 2019 |

Nystral posted:Wtf? I guess they weren’t kept in archival conditions? quote:Richard Sauers wrote in his book, Advance the Colors! Pennsylvania Civil War Battle Flags that many of the USCT flags made their way from the State Mustering office in Philadelphia (where a flag was held for safe keeping) to the War Department for storage. In 1906 they were transferred to the Museum at West Point. Documented in this transfer are the flags of the 22nd, 25th, 32nd, 43rd and 127th USCT. By the start of WWII storage had become an issue, and the condition of some flags had become so poor that they were discarded. Sauers mentions that only one flag identified as a Pennsylvania USCT remained in the museum in 1940, but he does not state which one.

The worst part is that it's not even subtle criticism of fascism and theocracy. The emperor literally created the empire through extinguishing superstition and irrational belief only to be worshiped as a god after he fell into his death torpor.

The super ironic part is that the same process happened to wh40k itself - its original creators wrote the universe and the Imperium as an extreme send-up of both thatcherites and tankies (and a cool giant robots game of course) where everything was caricaturally angry ; violent ; extreme ; corrupt ; aesthetically Nazi and generally speaking an irredeemably awful system to live under for every last individual involved, living AND dead. Yet over time not only did parts of its public Not Get The Joke (although to be fair understanding political satire at 13 is something of a tall order), but a number of people who kept Not Getting The Joke into adulthood were hired by GW and started producing "earnest 40k" content. And now it's gone on to become an actual idol & aesthetic of actual loving nazis. Poe's law is a bitch.
