just figured some shit out. im gonna blow this motherfucker wide open. heads will roll
the little mermaid (1989) was a kids movie about a mermaid who wants to become a human sort of like weeabos want to become japanese and rich layabouts want to become mediocre artists. straightforward enough. seems innocent enough
the movie was based on a 🚩🚩🚩danish🚩🚩🚩 story by a man named hans "christian" andersen

in keeping with disney tradition, culture and ethnicity of the characters matches the national origin of the story, eg prince "Eric"

this is were the trouble starts
ladies and gentlemen, this movie does NOT take place along the north sea. nor does it take place along the baltic

consider the evidence
"Eric" tries to kiss ariel in a "blue lagoon"

the location is apparently semi-tropical. here are the north and baltic coasts of denmark for contrast. no "lagoons" here

Image
Image
Image
local wildlife include singing flamingos. here is the natural range of the flamingo

could they be from the private menagerie of the king of Denmark? perhaps. but this is suggestive that he at least kept them outside comfortably.
Image
Image
and lets consider "erics" attire.

the careful viewer will identify his dress as red sea rig, favored originally by the british navy and later in the diplomatic corps

no self-respecting royal would wear this attire north of hamburg

Image
Image
Image
well. this is all very interesting. clearly the movie is set abroad.

in a danish colony.

heres a map of their empire. compare once more with the range of flamingos

the obvious site from contextual clues is the danish gold coast of africa
Image
Image
however, this doesnt work because red sea rig had barely been /invented/ in the mid 19th century, and rhe danish gold coast was sold off in 1850. plus the gold coast is arid rather than lush

no. this was further east on the far side of the indian ocean Image
everything fits. the nicobar islands were the last noneuropean colonies abandoned by the dutch, and they could have attended them in red sea rig in 1868. the sale to the uk is further convenient for two reasons Image
first of all, it explains why Eric would be on a far flung island in red sea rig at all. hes there to oversea the transfer of the islands to the british navy on behalf of his empire and hes wearing clothes to their standard. this is so neat i think its a deliberate tip by disney
second of all, it explains why everyone in a dutch colony is unexpectedly white

wouldnt you have local Help? not if everyone had died of infectious disease from the europeans, or if the europeans had a quarantine to avoid illness themselves Image
clearly the little mermaid is a story of colonialism and genocide. but that history you know. the truth in the little mermaid is much grimmer
heres a little question for you. if the little mermaid takes place on nicobar island . . . why are the mermaids white

to answer this question we need to revisit aquatic ape theory
AAT speculates that humans diverged from apes when they became more adapted to an aquatic environment. clearly in TLM, AAT was correct; and furthermore at least one branch of humans took it even further, evolving convergently with cetaceans Image
the most parsimonious explanation for why Eric and Ariel are (1) both white, (2) able to understand each others language, and (3) mutually attracted to one another rather than repulsed is that they share a recent common heritage both genetically and linguistically
put another way, eric and ariel are both offshoots of of the yamnaya expansion--and given their linguist proximity probably a recent wave too. most likely the same wave conquered local land populations, and then further intermixed with the local indigenous fish maidens
so fine: a recent common wave of aryan conquerors took both the land and the sea. the sea conquest took centuries and reached at least as far as nicobar, where a grandee set in place his kingdom

in his wake he left genocide
those indigenous fish people were not the only indigenous fish people. to get to nicobar King Triton's ancestors would have had to cut their way from the north sea, through biscay and around the cape of good hope, past egypt and lanka, slaughtering everyone in their path
TLM is a story drenched in an ocean of blood, a secret history mouldering behind a blithe animated romp like a murder victim immured beneath wallpaper
Eric imagines he is marrying into royalty, but he will bed a monster. His children will walk on land, yet their hearts will be the hearts of the Scourge-beneath-the-Waves

his wedding marks the start of a new age of Man. an age of blood and tears
anyway. just a little something to think about when you watch disney movies. never can be too sure what your feeding you kids and you dont want em to grow up. you know.

funny
cannot BELIEVE disney went woke on this. mfs are going to doom us all and they know EXACTLY what theyre doing

i'm watching the grok4 launch and the production values are terrible

slides are worse than i'd create after getting roped into a presentation with 1h notice

you can tell the engineers made them themselves Image
elon predicting the model will discover new physics within two years. "let that sink in." a long silence. one engineer laughs awkwardly
i want to be clear i love all of you guys at xAI and i want only the best for you

in any sociopolitical system, the degree to and the manner in which power is centralized may be characterized by the structure of patronage networks

these structures are often more revealing about the nature of government than its nominal type

for example
the "kingdom" of france continued continuously for about a millennium depending on how you measure it

but its actual government varied widely

most notably, it transitioned from feudalism to absolute monarchy that occurred under richelieu and at versailles
this transition, made possible first by military developments and the rise of the bourgeoisie, represented a rising king (patron of the bourgeois) among other things destroying the patronage networks of feudal lords and reallocating their clients to himself via state organs

i get it now, this is legit. reddit objects are objects recommended to _entry-level enthusiasts_ by topical subreddits because they work well to improve lives over baseline with a relatively low level of effort for a majority of cases

reddit objects are high ROI!

for example,
r/strength_training reddit object

yeah i know other forums came first but its quintessential

is it right everywhere? does everyone need to be doing squats all the time? does it ignore aesthetics?

who cares! way better than default gym behavior Image
another example. r/malefashionadvice reddit objects for casual and business dress

unfortunately yeah all are not what they used to be and yeah those jeans should be selvedge Image

they hate how little it takes for us to be happy
the women all want to kill her

it's beautiful Image

i think maybe the term of art for this is "pickme"? idk

shes minmaxxing and shamelessly trading off homosocial status for heterosexual appeal

my theory is that women who are mad about this arent wrong to be but the specific reason for their anger is that shes a gender traitor

realistically there's no way to stop people from tacitly or explicitly allocating taxes and benefits on the basis of race and large portions of the country have interests in this happening or ideological commitments to doing so

this is just our life now
supreme court rulings arent gonna change anything, no one gives a shit about the law on principle and its easy to obfuscate discrimination to taste

any direct government enforcement will i expect inevitably be straightforwardly politically motivated
the norms to which new immigrants are assimilating and young natives inculcated are immensely ethnically charged without any public and common ideal of transcending race for an american identity, an identity which frankly doesnt even exist anymore
