  • I would agree with this completely.

    Except, for 200 years, the south has only ever focused on racism, cruelty and evil, they have never cared about anything else and have been perfect single-issue voters in that regard.

    I suggest we deal with them first, as with them in play democracy is effectively impossible.

    That is their great fear, the loss of their most critical pawn, which is why after the Civil War the country suddenly sprung forward to become the greatest on the planet, and the progressive movement surged to improve the welfare of everyone.

    The mistake was helping the south with the TVA, giving them the political power to hijack the rest of the country and drive us down their dark, destructive nightmare path.

  • I am not white. I moved there from the Midwest. I assumed it was basically the same.

    It is INFINITELY WORSE than you can imagine.

    They are monsters, it begins with economic problems, but the core of absolute and unreasoning hate is impossible to comprehend, reinforced by the most prideful arrogance beyond that which one could think possible.

    I desperately managed to escape to the coasts, but they followed me, so I escaped to Europe.

    They inspired the nazis (Hitler cited them in Mein Kampf as the model Germany must follow, the Nuremberg laws are copied almost verbatim) and black GIs came back from liberating Europe to be lynched for being "uppity".

    The BEST case scenario is a civil war, because we are being destroyed in the uncivil peace.

  • I hate, hate, HATE GTK.

    Sorry, it's visceral, can't stand using GTK apps, but really hate the framework, it is just so badly hacked together, and QT spoiled me forever.

    Need to build one again, this time with a python wrapper, wrote one for VLC and it's spoiled me too.

  • Trump said schools can meet his political demands or risk losing billions of dollars in federal funding.

    This is the second time in American history that this threat was made.

    The first time was when schools were demanded to desegregate or lose all federal funding.

    Turns out some people learn from history after all, so get used to seeing every school of the south named after a confederate general.

  • Not unless it was weird or something.

    Violent offense?

    Probably not, unless I thought he might hurt another person who was innocent. Then I'd have to think about it.

    Maybe an exception for like a mass shooting, I think I might turn them in for everyone's safety, because if the cops found them on their own things might get bad. Hard part is working out how to do it safely.

    If it was a one -off and the victim deserved it? I have no idea what you're talking about.

    Conspiracy (2001) - The art of theater.

    The script is nothing to write home about, largely adapted from the meeting transcripts.

    The setting is fixed and fairly limited, painting a backdrop but only just, powerful men desiring comfort besieged by winter.

    The acting is art beyond anything I've seen elsewhere, each character responds to the next, you see and are absorbed by the mundanity of the interactions, the basic dynamics of a corporate meeting, while the underlying impact screams in your brain.

    They took the dry meeting notes (https://holocaust.umd.umich.edu/news/uploads/WanseeProtocols.pdf) and made a drama that shocks you with the ultimate banality of evil, exactly as imagined by Hannah Arendt.

    This just came to me today, we all write our own narratives for what we do, and watching Heydrich, the ambitious patriot trying to clear the way for his country's deserved greatness, the bureaucrats trying to slither amongst the politics, the soldiers merely looking for leadership, and the diplomats and lawyers merely trying
