1. This is fascinatingly stupid - and yet simultaneously very dangerous. I will attempt to explain in a thread.

Ancestral lands is something of an emotional thing to begin with. Because your great-great-grandfather lived in a place doesn't necessarily grant your rights to it.

2. But we can't get around the emotional attachments that form, either. So we're stuck in this weird limbo where SOME claims are popularized - like the claims of Native Americans - and some are not recognized, like the claims, say, Greeks have to Constantinople.

Late Night Thales Musing: Episode 1

1. When the Goths marched on Rome, I wonder if the Romans knew that things would never be the same? Does a people know when they are conquered?

Better question: was Rome infested with the equivalent of SJW soyboys and radfems? 2. Where have all the ShitLords gone? We are so few on Twitter, now. Is this what the Romans felt, one day? They looked around and all they saw were losers, moochers, barbarians, and disease?

1. Modern Leftism is a Religion, the thread.

If you're a Christian (of most branches), one of the fundamental tenets of the faith is belief in the Trinity. Oh, you can dispute mysteries of it all day, the intricacies, the details. But do you believe in God, Christ & Holy Spirit? 2. If the answer to that question is no, you are not a Christian. That may be fine. You may have some other faith - whatever, none of my business, but you aren't Christian. Leftism works along a similar line with regards to Intersectionality and Socialism.

1. You know what pisses me off about seizing white farms in South Africa? It's not the socialist redistribution scheme, or the fact that South Africa is about to go down the toilet, though they are bad. No. It's the fact that race relations in the WORLD are going to take a shit. 2. I will try to explain this. See, when South African whites gave up apartheid, there was an implicit condition: the whites get to live peacefully and there would be no retaliation. Whites give up power, but gain peace in trade. A reasonable deal.

1. Last week, I stopped by the Trump rally in Tampa. Outside some protesters had setup camp in a designated "First Amendment" area. Some other protesters had blocked the entrance to the parking lot for the fairgrounds, thinking this would stop people from going. 2. After a while, the line of cars backed up onto 275, and traffic completely, 100% gridlocked. It stopped moving at all. But then the Trump supporters did something interesting... they parked across the street, where there was a large empty lot in front of a hotel.
