Out of curiosity, for the book-readers here (since they're being mentioned)

What are your favourite/most looked back upon political or history books? I admit, this question is simply to gain a read-list, as I'm newer to political and history books as a whole. Currently reading Frank Dikotter's "The Cultural Revolution: A People's History 1962 - 1976", and have Andy Ngo's "Unmasked" ordered.

I remember posting about how Antifa reminds me of the Red Guard a few weeks ago -- and my, such a statement proves true weeks later. At the very least, our current day commies are being dealt with, even if slooooooowly... Little did I know our own politicians -- Jay Jones -- would engage in the behavior or psychopath commies, but that's what I get for having expectations for the lefties.

The Man Who Was Thursday


It's such a good book. And it was in Deus Ex which was a good game. Coincidence? I think not.

I really don't understand why men stopped wearing pants around their actual waist. I started doing it a few years ago and it's considerably more comfortable than wearing them around my hips.

Less fabric to save on cost, faster to put on and take off, synthetic fibers trap heat a lot more so having more on you is gonna make you sweat more, etc.

Could be a million things.

I'm sorry for the double post. I don't know how to edit on mobile.

It's perhaps more philosophical than political, but I just completed Childhood's End. After weeping longer than expected, I've been reflecting on it. The discussion of the Prime Directive, national identity and our future are all relevant to the story.

Instructions or a link to instructions for editing mobile posts would be appreciated. Sorry again.

This is the funniest shit to me because if you actually watch the video to the end the final frame is an absolutely confused as fuck black guy that seems to have the same expression anyone watching this video would have.

I don't know how to describe it. It's like a mixture of "what the fuck am I listening to", disappointment, confusion, being distraught, knowing you're potentially being recorded so not trying to have a reaction and like 50 other emotions you're trying to litigate onto your face.

They're mostly held up in 8chans's undead corpse. Basically the only source of traffic that imageboard gets.

Not quite, since the 4chan hack and the site going down for a bit a while ago a lot of /vt/ migrated there and stuck around cause IDs make schizo falseflagging harder, and the mods don't engage in it themselves like the tranny jannys on 4chan do. Seems like most of 8chan's traffic now is their vt threads.

The people offended by that one, probably cheered at this one:

I vaguely remember a Star Trek episode where someone gets freaky with a third gender.

Cogeniter from Enterprise
The outcast from TNG

Edit, there's also the non-binary troon betazed in discovery that got sad and blew up all the dilithium in the galaxy with its psychic powers.

Listing five off hand which I've read at least twice:
  • The Fate of Empires (Glubb)
  • Franco: A Personal and Political Biography (Payne/Palacios)
  • The Early History of Rome (Livy)
  • Adolf Hitler (Toland)
  • Thomas Jefferson: An Intimate History (Brodie)

what is anti-democratic about the Trump administration, and how does that even affect the conversation about kicking illegals out of the country? if someone is here illegally then Border Patrol and ICE should be removing them from the country regardless of which color of politician is in the white house

I'll sum it up in the minds of the American left, how they view it:
  1. Post-ww2 brain and post-Civil Rights Era brain
  2. Trained to view all nonwhites as forever victims thanks to these things plus Hollywood
  3. MSNBC poison fed to them for years
  4. They live too far away from states where these things happen and thought this way for years before social media made it readily available for the whole world to see
  5. People who have had their emotions played with for decades, who view Adolf Hitler as THE bogeyman their whole ideology revolves around look at ICE and similar matters–
  6. –and apply the Hitler bogeyman to Trump (Putin by extension, but that's a different conversation)
In short, Japheth = bad, Ham and Shem = good.

The two state solution is insane because Gaza separated from the rest of Palestine and is vital because it is on the coast. So a two state solution either involves:

  1. The territory stays the same and Palestine is dependant on Israel to travel between Gaza and the rest of Palestine, guaranteeing constant tension between the two.
  2. Israel forfeits a ton of land to unify Gaza and the rest of Palestine, guaranteeing constant tension between the two.
  3. Israel annex Gaza and Palestine is dammed to become a landlocked nation, guaranteeing constant tension between the two.

An example would be the corridor to West Berlin. East German highway that the Western Powers had the right to use.
I also really like this video. They even had a train! Amazing.
