30.5 Days posted:Wasn't one of the major factors the exact opposite of immigration, capital flight to constantinople? sort of? more broad economic realignment that had been happening for centuries already, the eastern roman empire was where the money had always been and outlasted the western by at least a millennia. including through the "dark ages", lol. of course even that divide is somewhat ahistorical, they called themselves romans, their neighbours and enemies called themselves romans - it was just an administrative thing for a long time.

is named for a dude who came into the roman history thread with his classical education and was such a smug idiotic oval office that he got railroaded out, although not before clarifying that slavery was both justified and an objectively superior social order lmao

i live near a ton of roman ruins and those were fun weekend days out with my parents as a kid. if the scots had any true intentions of independence they'd be rebuilding hadrians wall imo to keep the english out

Spangly A posted:terf is almost uniquely on-point for the UK because the entire terf movement is organised via whatsapp groups led by literal second wave radfem authors at the guardian, who write feminism-adjacent attack lines for their american evangelical handlers to use on Mumsnet, the largest majority-women website in the UK. It is not possible to seperate terfism from that feminist-adjacent aspect because those are the people who organise and launder the attacks, and it is this veil of respectability that allows transphobia such mainstream coverage in the UK. Some of them have scorched their reputations by revealing a deep seated hatred of muslims, some of them are still considered respected feminist authors. Friends, I was talking to my dad about this, and I had mentioned that a number of the UK journalists get on well with the far-right evangelicals. He is asking if I could name the US organisation(s) the UK journos met with. Could any of you, good folk, point to an article about this or some further information? Not singling out Spangly A here, just want to know more, and I think my dad wants to know more which is a good thing in my book.

There's actually an official joint organisation of British TERFs and American Evangelicals, Hands Across the Aisle, in addition to a great deal of less formal cooperation.

It can't be just genetics, you would need Habsburg level dedication. I think it's got to be a combo of nutrition and just industrial levels of destroying any joy in their lives, so you're left with children that look like they've resigned themselves to a dour life in the womb.

I wonder what Geist Editor is up to these days. I think he would have a colourful description of Hard BreXXXit. Just his reaction to the promo image alone... I was too drat scared to search a pornsite for any videos so I just watched the trailer on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8JVLT3-5mw  I looked this up. Apparently it's Turkish and 'tövbe' means 'repent'. quote:Töbe is a contraction of tövbe. "Tövbe" means repentance. "Tövbe tövbe" is a repetition that is used as a way of saying "Repent, repent!". It is rarely used with that exact meaning nowadays though. It's mostly used to mean "What a stupid/bad/strange thing to say/do." I'm just lolling at the thought of some mild mannered Mahir Cagri watching this in shock. Poor guy.
