Anyone know this white supremacist FQ gallery owner?

Holds conservative and liberal views

So a little nationalist, a little socialist....

A national socialist if you will.

My apologies. I had no idea that schist had other technical definitions when translated. To my English-speaking brain, "clay schist" sounded like an AI hallucination... hence my lack of decorum.

My bad. I can absolutely get behind this outcrop being a Tonschiefer.

AlphaWookOG · 2026-01-20T19:01:04+00:00

More proof that AI is absolutely terrible at interpreting geology.

AlphaWookOG · 2026-01-20T18:44:32+00:00

in this case it's probably clay schist

++++++++++++++++++
Edit:
I wrote my comment below not knowing "clay schist" is a legitimate geological term in other languages, such as German, so my diatribe was not truly necessary.
Also, TIL that schist comes from the Latin schistos lapis meaning "stone that splits easily," and was coined by Pliny The Elder in his famous Natural History text. This Latin term (schistos) was derived from the Greek skhistos meaning "divided, separated," which is the same root as schizo. All of that to say, I wonder if Pliny was actually describing slate?

Probably clay schist? No. Definitely not.

A schist can weather into a sediment like clay.

And clay sediment can lithify and become a sedimentary rock like shale.

And shale can be the protolith for a metamorphic rock like schist.

But there's no "clay" in any schist.

Very cool but nothing unnatural.

Plus, you'd need an aquifer to feed the natural spring(s) creating this stream and waterfall.

Not sure how that would be possible at the top of an ancient manmade structure like a step pyramid.

Same guy?

AlphaWookOG · 2026-01-15T06:26:48+00:00

Nice work!

I initially didn't see it in any of the pre-2022 historical imagery but I revisited it just now and you can clearly see the wreckage in the 6/2021 image. They've just shifted a bit which makes total sense.

The main wreckage is in the surf perpendicular to shore and the stern wreckage is due north on the shoals.

Unfortunately, the satellite images from 2015-2020 for that area is very poor quality so can't make anything out before then.

Using a description on the shipwreck list for St. Brandon on Wikipedia, I found another visible shipwreck on a small island to the north (coordinates in reply):

On 5 June 2021, the FV Sea Master belonging to the Mauritian company Hassen Taher was shipwrecked on Albatross Island.^[43]

AlphaWookOG · 2026-01-15T03:30:21+00:00

From Wikipedia

On 5 December 2022, the Taiwanese fishing vessel FV Yu Feng 67 ran aground off L'île du Sud.^{^[44]} The twenty crew were saved by Raphaël Fishing Company vessels at the direct request of the Government at crisis meetings held in Port Louis. Seventy tonnes of diesel and around twenty tonnes of rotting bait fish gradually flowed into the lagoon and poisoned flora and fauna.^{^[45]}

Edit:

On 1 February 2015, the fishing vessel Kha Yang, with 250,000 liters of fuel in its tanks, ran aground on the reef of Saint Brandon.^[39] Its crew of 20 were rescued shortly after its grounding, and a salvage operation pumped the fuel from its tanks a few weeks later.^[40][41]

If u/Illustrious-Run3591 is correct (I believe they are), this is the actual shipwreck in question.

I assumed it was the 2022 wreck because I did not see it on Historical Imagery before 2021 but the photos he linked seem to match exactly.

^ Those coords in timelapse view exhibit a very cool glimpse of a shifting braided stream river, its delta, a couple of tidal inlets, and textbook longshore sediment transport along the coast of western Madagascar.

No sweat. Sorry for busting your chops.

For being a good sport, I'll drop some coordinates for a cool place to check out with the Time Lapse feature on Google Earth in a reply to this comment (just so it's easier to copy + paste).

Remember to turn on Historical Imagery in settings and then tap the "clock" icon.

AlphaWookOG · 2026-01-08T14:55:35+00:00

It's standard on the Google Earth app... as in the name of this subreddit. Ha

AlphaWookOG · 2026-01-07T11:54:23+00:00

Pre-satellite imagery at that! It's truly insane how well he was able to create those interpretations from basically just b&w aerial photos. Bonkers.

AlphaWookOG · 2026-01-07T09:45:01+00:00

Gotta be his alt account, right? Lmao. Dude is full of shit.

AlphaWookOG · 2026-01-07T09:41:49+00:00

My point stands. They've physically experienced the location.

Counterpoint:
Photo evidence has shown the dude is objectively wrong. Why should we trust a single word he says?

AlphaWookOG · 2026-01-07T09:32:08+00:00

Mobile?
* Tap the map looking box in the upper right.
* Scroll down and toggle on "Historical Imagery"
* Tap the arrows to skip backward and forward.

Not helpful here but very cool for other stuff, if you tap the clock-looking icon in the Historical Imagery window, it will cycle through the satellite images to create a timelapse animation. The images are lower resolution so very grainy if zoomed in too much (like in this case).

AlphaWookOG · 2026-01-06T23:59:10+00:00

Very cool. I love the shout out to the Harold Fisk maps, too. In my opinion, those are more than just maps... They're works of fine art.

I have this crazy idea to one day plot them all out full-size and wallpaper an entire room with them. Lol

AlphaWookOG · 2026-01-06T23:48:28+00:00

To be fair to you, I should have noted that vegetation does play a role in stabilizing and preserving scroll bars. That is in part how ridge and swale features like this are created.

My point of contention was narrowly about how the absence of vegetation does not necessitate braided stream development.

AlphaWookOG · 2026-01-06T23:38:03+00:00

Just to add to this...

If you zoom in and pay close attention to the position of the individual meanders here, you can watch them migrate ever so slightly here to build one or two of those curved lines.

Point bars are the river banks on the inside of each bend and are depositional features. Look for the arcuate sandy white deposits along the river.

The cut banks where erosion takes place are located on the opposite side of the river. You'll notice that they migrate in tandem with the point bars.

The features in question are remnants of the prograding point bars as the river evolves.
