An excellent essay on the difficulties of actually relating to another culture and the hubris of people who think "we all really just want the same things in the end." Personally I think it speaks to the genius of federalism. You deal with every problem you can with people as close to your culture as possible. The centralization of regulation and legislation in the 20th century is an under-heralded evil.
Part (really large number) about how intersectionallity has murdered equality, and the heresy it is for someone to admit it.
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their endowment. Perhaps if there are real world consequences for these institutions they will be less encouraging of toddler temper tantrums in people who a legally adults.
If you read "German"(not that many actual German troops were actually at Normandy because of allied misdirection efforts, lots of ethnic Slavs who were alas turned over to the Soviets after the war to their likely deaths) accounts of Normandy, the "Jabbos" were a very important part of why it worked.
Update: Suggestion add to this from some great commenters.
Lastly just in case you've been recently given a stupid paper straw somewhere:
There is a video on You Tube of a ground crew taking a P-47 B or C (maybe even an early "D") STILL IN THE CRATES. and using nothing but hand tools. A one inch rope. The boxes it was packed in. The semi-truck that delivered it and 50 guys. Put it together in a few hours, and had it gunned up. Gassed up and ready for combat. You should watch it. It gives you a whole new prospective on how they could fight wherever they could find a spot for a runway.--Ray
ReplyDeleteYeah that was very cool to watch.
