I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT SHE BELIEVES THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS CHANGED MY LIFE #HUFFLEPUFF

I remember the argument also went something like: there's no naturally-occurring blue color in the world, so ancient people were never exposed to blue and thus never developed language for it or even the ability for their brains to process it. Like the experiments where you blindfold a baby monkey or whatever and then it's never able to see properly because it had no visual stimulus when its brain was developing. So humans only gained the ability so see blue once blue pigment was invented and we started painting things blue and so on.

But...like...there is blue in nature. Bluebonnets, bluejays, blueberries, turquoise, sapphires, lapis lazuli, the sky?

If people didn't see blue, why were blue pigments from Afghanistan so prized in the ancient world, wouldn't they just look like any cheaper wine-dark pigment you could get at home? How did rare expensive blue pigments even get invented in the first place if no one needed them or could distinguish them from wine? Why do we find evidence of blue paint on ancient Greek buildings like the Parthenon (OK it was 5th century BC and Homer was 8th century, so were those 300 years the critical ones when people started seeing blue?) But even then you can find blue tiles from the 30th century BC in Egypt soooo

That type of bullshit is interesting to think about, like the plot of Pontypool is interesting to think about, but lmfao that people would actually consider it as a real theory or something.

I mean, it is completely correct that the government failed in large part because the communists were unwilling to form a coalition with the SPD. This analysis just overlooks that they were completely correct in not doing so

google used to let you use quotes to search exact phrases, but that no longer works. it doesn't even work in gmail anymore

gmail search was always worse than google search, but it's gotten aggressively bad over the past year. it seems like every text string i try to search, gmail will pull results that include even distant synonyms for every word. searching any number string is worthless cause it will return results for single digits within your string, which will be in tons of emails thanks to header timestamps.

The underlying assumption seems to be that all KPD controlled seats "belonged" to the SPD who would have naturally won them if the Communist Party did not exist, instead of sayyyy going to another party that had a wing with working class support from people who didn't believe the SPD was willing or able to address material conditions.

It's the Nazi argument, since Judeo-Bolshevism held that Jews and Communists were the same thing, the Holocaust was conceptualized as an internal war against an existential threat. Jews/Communists had no decency, so the fate of Germany hung in the balance.

What wouldn't you do to save your nation? etc.

The counter of this, of course, is to say, "Cool, so why did America genocide the Native Americans, something that predated the Bolsheviks and also was magnitudes worse than the Holocaust and also was specifically cited as an inspiration by the Holocaust perpetrators?"

Maybe I'm nuts but I don't think the arbitrary grammatical rules about gender have much to do with the actual circumstances of gender equality in reality.

Japanese has no concept of grammatical gender whatsoever and very often you can't tell the gender of a person that you're speaking about until you actually specify it. And yet it's a really, really sexist society. I just don't think there's a really strong link there.

Frontiers of Empire: Max Sering, Inner Colonization, and the German East, 1871–1945

How did the homesteads and reservations of the Prairies of Western North America influence German colonization, ethnic cleansing and genocide in Eastern Europe? Max Sering, a world-famous agrarian settlement expert, stood on the Great Plains in 1883 and saw Germany's future in Eastern Europe: a grand scheme of frontier settlement. Sering was a key figure in the evolution of Germany's relationship with its eastern frontier, as well as in the overall transformation of the German Right from the Bismarckian 1880s to the Hitlerian 1930s. 'Inner colonization' was the settlement of farmers in threatened borderland areas within the nation's boundaries. Focusing on this phenomenon, Frontiers of Empire complicates the standard thesis of separation between the colonizing country and the colonized space, and blurs the typical boundaries between colonizer and colonized subjects.

my rep, a member of the "progressive caucus" voted no.

it's okay though, she's retiring from the House this year. to become US Senator in place of tom carper.

it's okay though, her most likely replacement is surely a progressive, as it is sarah mcbride who is poised to be the first transgender woman (and person period) in congress. however it appears that sarah loves genocide and lbr so she'd vote no too.

it's okay though, sarah's chief challenger is ur-delaware progressive, eugene young, who notably was centrist voltroned in the wilmington 2016 mayoral primary by the dad of the guy who did the fyre festival. and we've of course got big hopes for his campaign, as it's run by a lot of delaware progressive heavyweights. oh wait, it appears that he too loves genocide and israel, and has been endorsed by governor carney (the guy who vetoed weed and the father of a kid who murdered a kid via college hazing) and senator corey booker (who loves genocide).
