hosed up map. protestants are supposed to be blue, and catholics yellow

should've done the opposite and integrated romania, hungary, bulgaria, albania, austria and greece. this would greatly reduce the relative size of the largest ethnic group, and ensure that no typical nation-building project could even be considered, forcing a kind of intra-state anarchy.

anyone have a good book about the clintons? I feel like they're all either fat sloppy blowjobs for the clintons or full in on them being actual reptile people.

Pretty insane presentation at work, which used Blum's My Word! Plagiarism and College Culture. Wondering what level of liberalism this is, because I couldn't pin down the types of liberalism and PMC culture in play:

"Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. not only was a minister and a civil rights activist but also had earned a doctorate in theology at Boston University. In 1988, while working on annotating his papers, researchers were disheartened to realize that substantial amounts of his writing revealed pervasive plagiarism. Since King was not alive to answer the charges, the question was essentially one of how history should regard his legacy. In general, it seems to have been agreed that he had gone on to lead a life of great importance despite his significant and lifelong tendency to use others’ words without crediting them.

Some people responded with anger at King’s professors at Crozer Theological Seminary and Boston University, where his dissertation included significant verbatim copying from Paul Tillich and other prominent theologians and philosophers. They claimed that the professors were racist for not having held a capable young black man to a higher standard. Some excused his plagiarism as a common practice in African American discourse. Others condemned his plagiarism but retained a high regard for his character, focusing on the effects of his activism (that is, they judged him by historical standards as an activist rather than by publication standards as a scholar). Still others excoriated his defenders as soft- headed liberal affirmative action apologists.

Whether exculpated or vilified, King was either a uniquely gifted employer of an African American tendency toward intertextuality or a fraud who deserved neither his fame nor even his doctoral degree. Racism! Oversimplification! Literal-minded legalism! Whatever the accusation, the case remains highly charged."
