Happy 4th of July everyone! Dr. Greer has released a 'documentary' on YouTube.

I would play Hammer and Stake in a heart beat as long as we all agree we must speak in stereotypical Russian communist fashion. It feels like a pulp novel style of concept.

Yeah the whole point is tax evasion. Or attempted tax evasion.

There’s plenty of religious sov citizens who have similar styles of beliefs, claiming their immunity comes from their Christian identity. Again, sovereign citizens first.

The Moors really aren’t black supremicists. They’re sovereign citizens first and foremost.

Exactly my point. They're going to jump on something like marxist theory like a starving dog to a bone. It explains everything they want, and provides a solution. And it tells them "You're next in the collars." Nothing like a bit of fear to kickstart a revolution.

Latin was still the dominant language for the next few centuries in many areas. In most cases it was simply a change in management and a gradual cultural drift away from the Roman standard as the new ruling class implemented some changes and integrated with the local population. And even after...

If not to the barbarians, it would have collapsed from infighting in the fifth century anyway, or been taken over by the East. The Roman army of this era actually increased in size not because of foreign threats but because of internal ones. The lack of political stability was far, far more...

She doth protest too much, I think

The economic woes in the west were less from the army and more from a shift in weather patterns, bad harvests, a reduced tax base, a smaller population due to plague and famine and thus less taxes on top of all that. The increase in foederoi went hand in hand with increased reliance on...

The difference was mostly in the state of Rome at the time, and how weak the west was economically and politically. The relationship between the foederati tribes and the Roman Empire saw shifts over time, especially when Roman power was weak. When it comes to the foederati painting them as a...

Personally, if it's something that a factory refit would fix up and you're open about what parts have been replaced by modern reproductions, feel free to replace what you need to replace. Try and get as much of the rust cleaned as possible as carefully as possible - there's some techniques that...

Nah, just someone who enjoys studying history. And calling Rhodes a trashfire isn't really too far off the mark, the only good thing the man ever did in his life was set up the Rhodes scholarships. The rest of it is seeking power for the sake of power in the cloak of empire. He wanted to start a...

Holy shit I absolutely despise the idea that revisionism is some kind of communist plot to paint white people as always bad and always evil. A lot of historical revision is simply research finding new and different things, or archeological evidence providing new insights, or more detached...

If anything you'd see the South falling to a communist revolution of some sort. Marxist ideas would spread like wildfire among poorer whites in a society that still has slaves devaluing their labor, and slaves would probably support it too. Especially if you start seeing corporate, industrial...

Bob Lazar Now this is a fun one, honestly one of my favorite grifters in the UFO world, and one with some ahem, interesting interactions with the law. So to start with, Bob's been involved in the UFO world for about thirty years now, and grifting all the while. Bob's been somewhat active...

2020 was going to be a weird year for a lot of reasons. This thing in NYC is a result of poor planning and preparation. Ranked choice voting is pretty decent as systems go, but implementation can be tricky.

The NYC board of elections has made mistakes like this before and pretty regularly. And yes, this seems like they tasked testing to like three people a week before the election.

It’s a cash grab. Plain and simple, the company has no idea what it’s doing and is banking on the gygax name to get attention and funding.

Pretending to be someone else takes time, you might be able to vote 4 to 5 times if you’re lucky. Even 1000 people doing this barely moves the scale in a major city. The real way to commit voter fraud has and always will be in the hands of election officials. Voter ID requirements don’t actually...
