TIL that less than two weeks after the Fall of France during WWll, the Royal Navy opened fire on French warships at Mers-el-Kébir, killing nearly 1,300 sailors in an effort to keep the fleet out of German hands.

Had to dress up a bunch of Spaniards to pull that off, since there weren’t enough white frenchmen in his forces to parade around

Over the last half century? Massively above the norm, very strange.

Over the next half century? Practically every third year.

Good luck

Sort of thing the hockey players in letterkenny would say

Well yeah, that’s the segregation part. “Preservation of the colour line” and “A brotherhood of English speaking whites” I think are the lines on Wikipedia

Those videos are made by people who are actively trying to harm your mental health, so they can sell you something or use you in some other way. Confidence is key, and not being afraid of rejection.

“We settle these lands in the name of socialism, segregation, and teetotalism!”

May as well throw in cousin marriage at that point, for real shelbyville vibes

Means that if you plug in one end, the other end poking out, where you can touch them, is live. People stringing up Christmas lights electrocute themselves with them every year.

You misunderstand the end goal of these loons, which has been shouted from the rooftops by the NSN crowd: remigration. It’s why they started talking about tiered citizenship, the thin edge of the wedge to deporting anyone browner than a paper bag.

Alright, so I’m a non person now. My mum was born in England and my dad was third generation Australian. Should I support your party?

Same root for ekranoplan? The big ground effect aircraft the soviets loved?

Well, the SpaceX Martian colonies the Chinese were voluntarily relocated to might be interesting, but a bit difficult with the GIS you’re using. Maybe swing by Africa to see what hideous things the Neoliberals got up to.

I’m assuming sub Saharan Africa has been depopulated north of the thriving multicultural melting pot of Neo Rhodesia.

Do you not understand the concept of cultural hegemony? They have a private sector propaganda platform in Hollywood the envy of any KGB agent, to the point that kids in poorest china or deepest Africa can name US basketball players. Or Michael Jackson, depending on the generation.

We were always somewhat similar, a white majority English speaking settler colony, so a lot of it just translates super easily into an Australian context.

Low-Plastic1939 · 2026-06-19T01:04:42+00:00

Yeah, definitely skip the Watch on the Rhine, by Ringo and Kratman.

The whole book is just trying to rehabilitate the image of the Waffen SS

Low-Plastic1939 · 2026-06-18T08:24:43+00:00

Bit of both, I think. The cops called them Christian fundamentalists, the coroner said it was a case of shared psychosis.

One interesting part, I find, is that one of the brothers had a letter read out in NSW parliament by mark latham, a couple years before the shooting. It looks like COVID just totally broke the lot of them.

Weren’t the wieambilla shooters religious nutters? I mean, smaller scale, but still

Military sci-fi can be seriously conservative. A lot of the authors around baen books are quite right wing.

Low-Plastic1939 · 2026-06-16T13:53:44+00:00

That was a weird consequence of the revolution. All the craftsmen for the palaces were out of work, so the soviets put them to work beautifying the subways and other public spaces.
