Here's a wordplay themed photo from the Malbork Castle. :)
It's amazing how many synonyms for nazi they can crank out with a vocabulary as small as they can muster.
The "Heritage American" thing is both the natural conclusion of the volkish push AND extremely funny because it's a vanishingly small group of people that excludes most of the right's strongest soldiers

Time to catch up on How to be a Werewolf! (howtobeawerewolf.com) Malaya Walters was bitten by a mysterious wolf as a child, leaving her human family to navigate her lycanthropy for decades. As an adult, she's faced with the opportunity to finally learn what she's capable of.

Low-effort paid tabletop RPG games have successfully displaced the traditional community gaming in Polish fandom spaces. At least on fashbook they did.
Because of course every kind of leisure has to be turned into low quality products and monetized, even social storytelling games like RPGs.

"Assume a perfect AI" seems to be the starting point for all this. It's the "perpetual motion" or "free energy" of our age. And by all means, we can talk about it...

Literally all of society hates this abominable scam homunculus and the weird little death cult bubble of vampiric losers who spewed it forth upon the world. Take a break from bragging about how gullible you are and give yourself a swirlie and stuff yourself in a locker and sort yourself out.

"How can you conflate nationalists with nazis!? That's an attack on real patriotic folks!"
First of, easily.
Second, please explain what the word "nazi" is a shorthand for. We'll wait if you need to look it up.

Thread. The Heritage Foundation track directly back to outright nazis.
Heritage president Kevin Roberts is on the board of a nonprofit (SLI) led by Nate Fischer who separately launched a venture in 2023 w/ Raw Egg Nationalist who “has a history of posting swastikas & other Nazi imagery,” which Fischer has called “ironic trolling” rather than “genuine Nazi belief” 1/

We have managed to find a decent source on some etymology literally three months ago.
It's impossible to find it now.
Even when we still remember enough bits and pieces of the article that it should just pop up. Especially since it was the one source we could find (luckily it had a bibliography).

Can confirm, the degree to which research has gotten wildly harder in the last decade is huge. I'd be sunk if I hadn't compiled my massive Moore/Morrison interview database when I started Last War in Albion. That shit simply wouldn't be findable now.
I don't think we understand just how bad the decline of the Internet is to knowledge.
3 years ago, I could perform a very basic search in any engine and get an absurd number of relevant links, research articles, etc.
Today, I can perform the same search and find absolutely nothing.

The single worst thing about the concept of “being psychically attacked” is that it leads to people looking karma dead in the eye and going “some nebulous other person is cursing me.”

Who could be afraid of antifascists?
Yeah, he means he going to say "Antifa!!!" when he arrests and imprisons people who disagree with him.
Trump says he’s designating “antifa” a terrorist group and launching a probe into finding of antifa activities. The FBI has long said antifa doesn’t really have a centralized structure or leadership.
