Bunch of catastrophically moronic Nazi fanboys added me to a *Facebook* chat where they share pics of their guns alongside threats of violence and the usual racist crap... /1
The kind of Facebook chat where you can see every single member of the group... and go to their profile. /2
Hate to break it to you lads, but the whole lot is there, and being saved. /3
I wonder what Adam McElwee's girlfriend thinks of him spending talking to folks who want her dead? /4
Alexus DuBois was dumb enough to have her location and her Alma mater. /5
If Belden Faulk is still serving, he'd want to practice better OpSec. /6
I cannot begin to tell you how stupid it is to involve yourself in these groups. Furthermore, doing it with your public Facebook profile? Imbecilic. /7
You get the point. Don't be a goddamn moronic Nazi, and especially on Facebook. /FIN

I got a little time this morning, so I thought I'd tell you about something amazing I discovered yesterday during some research.
In 1957, east of Schongau in Bavaria, at a place called Peiting, peat cutters found something they really weren't expecting... 1/
...a wooden box. When one of the cutters saw what was inside, the operation was stopped and the police were called.
They had found 'Rosalinde'. /2
'Rosalinde' would have stood around 152cm in life. She was between 15 - 30 at the time of her death and had eaten a porridge for her last meal. She was wearing a white dress, a headband, undergarments and magnificent boots. /3
Andy Ngo thinks Antifa are on a level with the Nazis in terms of wanton violence. Furthermore, he says that 'even the Nazis knew to cover their tracks' and that we didn't know about the Holocaust until afterwards.
Wrong, and offensive on almost every level.
Violence had been building for years prior to the Nazis assuming power, and much of it was instigated by the SA.
In 1932 for example, 105 people died in clashes between SA and opposing groups in Prussia alone - that's one region. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/art…
SA activity - marching through 'red' neighbourhoods and fighting those who opposed them was a deliberate strategy. The spectacle of violence and the implied 'restoral of order' was the point.
When Hitler arrived at the Beer Hall in Munich, the mass of drinkers and their chatter made it impossible for Hitler to be heard. Having failed to get their attention, he had to fire a pistol into the air before he could announce that the 'national revolution' had begun...
Having removed selected officials into a back room to offer them key roles in the new government, Hitler was taken aback to find that they didn't agree straight away.
In fact they played for time and stalled for hours, causing Hitler and his top henchmen consternation...
When disorganization and confusion led Hitler to leave the beer hall to coordinate various movements at about 10.30pm on the night of the putsch, Eric von Ludendorff let the officials go - their key bargaining chip and symbols of legitimacy...
King Wilhelm of Württemberg was a beloved king, modernising his realm, including helping it survive 1816, the 'Year Without A Summer', when Mt Tambora's eruption lead to famine across Europe.
He was also athletic, and had a killer moustache, unlike his predecessors...
Wilhelm was married to Catharina Pavlovna Romanova, daughter of the Russian Tsar, Paul I.
It was both a strategic marriage, and a love match, for a time...
Elisabeth was born to Maximilian, Duke in Bavaria in 1837. While member of the royal Wittelsbach family, she wasn't the eldest daughter of the main branch and was allowed to, well, *mostly* do her own thing.
Unfortunately, she caught the eye of Franz Joseph I, Emperor of Austria, instead of her older sister, Helene. A marriage was arranged and 'Sissi', as she was named, was thrown into the midst of the stuffy Habsburg court.
It all came about because Eberhard Ludwig, Duke of Württe.berg, decided in 1704 that he wanted a big old palace from which to be an absolutist Duke, and do absolutist things. So, picking an old hunting lodge, he started to extend it...
Thing is, though, to build a residential palace, you need a workforce. To gain a workforce, they needed somewhere to live. So, alongside the palace, he founded the town of Ludwigsburg, now adjacent to Stuttgart.
