yep, birthright is a 10 day tour of israel where they talk about arabs the way people talk about the romani back home. and then they tell you it’s your duty to move to israel and serve in the IDF. and then they get angry at you when you go ??? at them.
this was my experience in 2004.
okay, come to think of it, it’s not that hard to explain. my dad was raised partly by his granddad who was a minor noble with some considerable land before communism. my mom’s parents were communists before the war, but they were sidelined by the kadar govt for being too high up in the rakosi govt.
prize for best hair goes to the mummy, or whatever the fuck this dude is.
my parents were born in the 1950s in hungary and somehow managed to grow up on anticommunist propaganda. i dont even.
why does it say “Dec 16, 1” at the top when this seems to be a new announcement?
i didnt say you cant trust anything. obviously stuff that ordinary citizens of gondor could verify had to be correct
of course the lyrics dont matter, fortunate son is the shooty war song… :D
parenti quote but adjusted for middle aged adulterers
they’re settler colonists. where are the original inhabitants of the shire? bit suspicious, eh?
lol who says he’s the rightful king? where’s the proof he’s even descended from the last king? denethor can point to an unbroken line of rule from kings to ruling stewards, all in minas tirith, all witnessed and documented. aragorn? well, some scruffy old hobo says he’s the direct male line descendant of the last king of arnor. which went tits up more than a thousand years ago. now, if someone walked up to your city claiming they were the rightful king cos his great-great-great-great-… granddad used to be king of some other kingdom (that he lost, lol) but he swears it was a high king, so it counts as a king of your kingdom too… uh, you’d tell them to fuck off. him and his hobo friend. and dont get me started on elrond, he’s absolutely CIA. pulling strings from far away.
aragorn got to be king cos he “won” the fake war he himself instigated and his “friends” just happened to arrange the death of the current ruler. there’s no proof sauron even exists, wake the fuck up.
what you have to realise is that ALL the texts we have from the period are actually from aragorn’s reign, and he’s obviously falsified a lot of it to make it look like he had a legit claim for his coup. it’s just propaganda.
we get them here in hungary, which is not global south but not western europe either. i’ve always assumed anglo immigrants are just like this everywhere.
aragorn spent his youth travelling in the east, stirring up discord against denethor. he also spent time in gondor, learning its ways.
then he used the war he stirred up to coup the rightful steward.
what do mcdonalds burgers look like in the west? cos you know here in eastern europe everything has that blueish eastern european color, right? so the burgers look pale and colorless. but i’m assuming they look normal and you know, like food in the west.
i think kfc and burger king have free refill… just not mcdonalds
mcdonalds has never had free refills here. welcome to eastern europe.
I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the refill died
F
also, roman republic tearing itself apart repeatedly because the elites simply refused to give any concessions to the poor.
no, no lesson here.
(not that the republic was good…)
yeah but it introduces inter-service rivalry, inefficiencies in command and supply chains, so it’s worth it
