https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jungle_Book_and_Scouting It was a thing in the BSA as well. I don't remember the particulars because jesus gently caress that was the early 90s when I was a cub scout. But I have distinct memories of it, and a lot of pseudo-Native guff.

All this willful ignorance of what it means to have a statue on public land is really getting to me. It's like they didn't get any kind of civic education at all and then never bothered to look it up as adults. Edit: seriously, using public money to promote a failed rebellion? I can't believe that went on for as long as it did. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Jun 13, 2020 |

 Broelman:  Scott Morrison sorry for 'no slavery in Australia' claim and acknowledges 'hideous practices' (Guardian). As part of his push to say the protests are taken over by left-wing agendas, Morrison said on the radio that there was no slavery in Australia. After many commentators pointed out Australia's history of slavery Morrison was asked by a journalist about his opinion on "blackbirding" (where South Sea Islanders were forced to work on Queensland plantations), Morrison said he didn't want to get into the "history wars". Leak, Son of Leak:  Rowe 1:  A lot of media in the last day or two have been pointing out the inconsistency of the talk from Morrison about throwing open state borders, shops, football etc. and his stance on the health risk of BLM protests. Rowe 2:  Rowe 3:  Zanetti:

Jedit posted:If they can't spread the virus then they're not carriers. If I were a medical expert and someone asked me such a loving stupid question at a presser I'd be saying "What?" as well. No, this is specifically referring to a study about asymptomatic people, who never show symptoms of the virus, versus presymptomatic people, who will eventually show symptoms of the virus. Presymptomatic people spread the virus more than asymptomatic people, who barely spread it at all. It's not a sealed deal, but it makes it very unlikely that we'll miss some major disease spreader if we only start tracing from people who display symptoms. It still means you should keep modestly isolating and wearing a mask if you're not feeling ill because who knows, you might be presymptomatic. But if you try to talk about it without using medical terminology, your first thought is to go to "people without symptoms can't spread the virus" which isn't technically true, so AHAH BIG SCIENCE IS TRYING TO FOOL US ALL ONLY

Which always confuses the heck out of me, aren't nearly all US-citizens in debt? From experience I know you can't really deal with how slow about 100k€ can be paid back on a good, but still limited income, without realizing two million are really nothing and a billion is basically unlimited money.

Everyone sitting there silent as some white boy in feathers and such just stalks around, clapping hands on random shoulders, "YOU have been chosen." And then that boy goes off and remains silent for the rest of that night when they came back to the campsite. That weirded me the gently caress out. And then young Manny grew up and had thoughts at the back of her mind for the next decade and some and eventually clicked she's trans. I still have my Eagle though. Ain't giving that up, I worked hard goddammit.

The worst I've seen anyone "go after" Paw Patrol is to tweet at the account with stuff like "so how much are you donating to BLM." If anyone's feeding into it, it's only because of the breathless derangement of "they want to make the cartoon police dog ILLEGAL!!" takes. Yeah dude, I'm sure the head of the family depicted as so exaggeratedly inclusive and progressive that "actually I'm a moderate" Carmen said she'd rather take her chances in ICE custody than spend time with them is definitely ALWAYS saying poo poo like that.

Yes, it's a blatant attempt to make anti-police protestors look heartless and evil while also, as a neat bonus, allowing them to cover something other than the hours of footage of cops deliberately committing atrocities just from the past couple of weeks

The movie absolutely is 'poor, poor South enduring such misery for building a society on human bondage and then losing everything when they chose to go to war over it' though, so it deserves to have one tape go sit in the 'antifascist academics only' drawer with Birth of a Nation, and the rest can get chucked in a furnace.
