Having watched the two linked videos from his wannabe youth Nazi group, he's obviously very posh and comes from a very privileged background. He pronounces 'Reich' with a soft ch... I don't think I've ever heard anyone do that before.

Wedding cost:

A vicar relative has an algorithm - the more expensive & elaborate the wedding, the quicker the divorce.

In his parish in South Wales, the usual thing is - date for a few weeks, decide to get engaged, then the lad spends the next 2 years down the pub with his mates before being dragged off to Moss Bros (or whatever the modern day equivalent is) a week or so beforehand to get fitted up with a kilt (why do non-Scots wear kilts to weddings? Something to do with keeping their knackers cool for the big night?).

Meanwhile the fiancee and her mother spend 2 years planning the dress, giving herself an eating disorder to try and fit in said dress before giving up 3 months before the big day & busting out of said dress which then requires a lot of letting out, booking some elaborate location for the do which manages to go bankrupt & close down 2 weeks before the wedding (unless you stick to tradition and go for the local rugby club bar) leading to lots of sad compo face photos in the local press while appeals go out for alternative venues, or as it might be alternative photographers, cake makers, discos who also seem to disappear right before the wedding.

Meanwhile, bride & groom get married only to discover they have absolutely nothing in common having spent 2 years living completely separate lives.

Funerals are the ones that get me. You can do a registry office wedding/civil partnership with a pub function room reception for a few hundred if you do it off-season, and most of that will be behind the bar for drinks, whereas a funeral costs a grand at minimum just for a direct cremation/unattended funeral, which nobody except the person who is (hopefully) already dead will be even allowed to attend.

That's why I'm going the route of donating to medicine, the hospital does all the paperwork and the costs are limited to £50 for a refrigerated truck, and everyone else remains completely free to do all the rest that they want to do to remember on their own free time.

if i wasn't so lazy and illiterate i could shine a light on how the entire death/bereavement industry is geared to ripping off people when they are at their most venerable, but "its what they would have wanted"

My grandmother was an odd duck, she had an acquaintance that she really hated but couldn't bring herself to tell her to gently caress off permanently. So when she died and this person was asking about the funeral arrangements I just told her "well my grandmother was very consistent with me that she thought you were a horrible twat and didn't want anything to do with you, so you can turn up if you want, I can't really stop you, but what she would have wanted was for you to gently caress off" and she had a huff and did not come to the funeral.

I like to think I helped her acheive levels of spite in death that she could not in life, not for lack of trying mind.

To be fair, it is possible to have a right wing organisation in this country that is affiliated with none of the three major parties. Heck, Keith manages to be Leader of the Opposition without being affiliated with the Labour Party.

Regarding Tory MP fiancee at the wedding aka the Spectre at the Feast: remember that when eleven liberals sit down to table with a Nazi, you have a table with the Liberal Democrat parliamentary group sat at it. Inform your friend that their murdering thieving oval office of a fiancee is not welcome, and if they don't like it then they're not welcome either.

Hire some arsehole comedian known for running their mouth just to read all the takes out, and list the public record notifying the death as "I'm not woke any more."

Bonus that someone from the Spectator will probably attend just to get called a twat to their face and then write a glowing review of it.

Soft vs hard ch is just different regional pronunciation in Germany. Which you go to depends on who you learned it from. IIRC hard ch is what they say in Berlin.

Yeah soft ch is a minority but definitely has a strong presence (Bavaria maybe? I don't remember) . My first German teacher used the soft ch so I spent a few years saying "Ich heiße" like "Ich scheiße". No regret

They all are, yes. The Irish-American tartan is especially cursed, but 90% of romantic nationalism was fabricated out of whole cloth in the 19th century (literally in the case of the tartans).

But then if that makes them fake then that makes Germany and Italy not real too.

It's true, they even found an example in a bog at Glen Affric, conveniently near Loch Ness, dating back to the 16th century. Of tartan, not of Nessie.

It's funny, because Euro colonialism created the modern 19th century sense of turning cultural artefacts into belonging to a nation-state

quote:

The first nations sprouted in the Americas, the offspring of the earliest European colonies—the viceroyalties of New Spain and Peru, Portuguese Brazil, and the 13 colonies. Modern states required functionaries, bureaucrats, and intellectuals and merchants scurrying about to do their bidding. But the careers of these functionaries were geographically limited. Whereas an aspiring diplomat from peninsular Spain might circulate through Mexico on his way to higher office back home in Madrid, those born in the colonies could expect never to leave the administrative unit of their birth. And it was unlikely, no matter how talented they were, that the sovereign would ever appoint them to the highest offices, even there. As their number grew, they slowly began to form a class who began to think of the administrative unit of their birth as something slightly different and slightly more meaningful: a nation. By the early nineteenth century, most of the Americas were organized into independent nation-states, almost all of them republics.
and a colonial import coming the other way, the blighted potato, led to the Springtime of Nations that saw the idea coming over to what would become the nation-states of Europe in 1848.

It's much less funny how many people died over all that, whether from empires or national conquest or potatoes, but that's a huge part of how pre-19th century happenings became modern national cultural symbols.

I've just finished reading a biography of Tommy Douglas
also just reminded me that while Tommy was the furthest person from being a flag-shagging nonce

quote:

In 1964 a bitter debate on a new national flag dragged on for five weeks, until Douglas chastised the House for wasting time when they should be acting on more pressing issues. He answered the suggestion that the St. George’s Cross should be retained on the flag in honour of Canada’s Christian heritage by declaring, “St. George’s Cross was first used in the Crusade when the kings, barons and knights of Christendom perpetrated murder, raping, and plunder in the name of Christianity…. Let us remember first of all that Christianity is not the only faith in Canada. There are people of Jewish faith, the Mohammedan faith and the Buddhist faith.” Douglas was a Baptist minister, but his Canada was inclusive.
25 years before then he still carried a Red Duster as a Socialist when he implored Canada to fight like hell against all Nazis, so I suspect he'd knock the lights out of those wee piss hitlers for trying to turn it into some fash bullshit.

Just go to a GAA pub if you want a pint of Guinness while getting into some nationalism invented in the 1880s.
