Stands were inspired by an issue of the X-men comic where Professor Xavier travels through Morocco and runs into the Shadow King in a café when he senses another psychic in the area. After talking to each other, both realize they cannot tolerate the other's existence. Both enter the astral plain, where their respective psychic avatars have a fight to the death. Xavier wins by thinking outside of the box.

Nobody can actually see this fight though, because they're not psychic. To the outside observer, it just looks like a bald guy sat down at a table with a fat guy, they had a conversation, then after staring at each other for awhile, the fat guy had a heart attack and collapsed on the table, followed by the bald guy getting up and calmly walking out of the room.

Related to this though, German scholars have done the most to study indigenous languages and iirc some of the largest and best regarded indigenous studies programs are in Germany.

Something to do with adventure books that became incredibly important I think?

Karl May wrote a ton of self-insert fanfiction where he travels to the west, is re-christened "Old Shatterhand" by some guys after he knocks a guy out with one punch during a bar fight, and then has adventures with the greatest and most special and wonderful Native American guy ever, Winnetou, who was totally his best friend and they were pals and he let Karl join the tribe and become blood brothers and no you can't meet him. In truth, he never went further west than Buffalo, NY, but don't let that get in the way of his stories being totally real*wink wink nudge nudge*

IIRC, the Kaiser wanted May to give the German Army his special rifle that could quickly shoot 25 bullets without reloading for use on the frontlines

quote:

Hitler later recommended the books to his generals and had special editions distributed to soldiers at the front, praising Winnetou as an example of "tactical finesse and circumspection", though some note that the latter claims of using the books as military guidance are not substantiated. However, as told by Albert Speer, "when faced by seemingly hopeless situations, he [Hitler] would still reach for these stories," because "they gave him courage like works of philosophy for others or the Bible for elderly people." Hitler's admiration for May led the German writer Klaus Mann to accuse May of having been a form of "mentor" for Hitler. In his admiration, Hitler ignored May's Christian and humanitarian approach and views completely, not mentioning his relatively sympathetic description of Jews and other persons of non-Northern European ancestry.

to be...unfortunately fair...that is literally what inhumans do. Their whole deal is space gas, it's what gives them power and 'weeds out' most everyone else so that was just sticking to canon.

It's almost as if Mutants and Inhumans are really bad stand ins for real minorities and never have been good for it beyond a surface level 'oppression is bad' one.

Professor X sucks rear end but 'The Boys made fun of it' is really not proof of anything since by like two storylines in it was just Garth's weird hangups about comics being vomited up

well they didn’t really have the same goal, Magneto wanted to wipe out Homo sapiens either in a place that would become a new mutant homeland or completely, depending on the era. genocide was the order of the day either way, sometimes including slavery. it was supposed to be ironic
