  Note: GRAVE is the wrong translation there, it's more like "Heroic Last Stand" but cba to parse out your bullshit patriarchal myths tonight. Just put it into a nice little "Revelation" bed and sleep on it. (You're also missing the...

  Getting late here in Santiago, almost the Witching Hour. Chaos is not my thing, FWIW (really). Sampling gnostics and related ATM (e.g. http://www.gnosis.org ), also FWIW. Chaos is really not my thing, either. Law neither. Well. Kinda a duality (there...

  If you want to share a 'Nazi' themed video, a positive one, and one that shows that 63 million kids were not radicalized, the WSJ attack plan was old-Minded and the world is still a sane place: PewDiePie Says He...
• Commented on Radio silence
  It's actually not him crying (playing fake tears is a well known trope in the YouTube zone), it's being used as a beacon / honey-trap and loads of other dodgy fingers all over it. Probably also a count-down if the...
• Commented on Radio silence
  That link is really not doing what you think it's doing. The amount of uncritical thought on links is something you need to look at. Suggest you all look up the massive shift by Google, PayPal et al to dump...

  Your arrogant condescention to my supposed ignorance does not go down well. Empathy Weapons: turns out they work, who knew? At least you're not dead this time. Two points: 1 It's what your Mind was screaming it needed, validation and...

  Since you've demanded I make it explicit and formatted as a linear plodding path without any nuance and only using the words in front of you: 1) I'm making a (what I thought was obvious) analogy between misuse of Roman...

  I'm not parsing your what you're saying, but it's been a long day. Don't worry, it's Old Skool Rules stuff. Someone running M2-3 levels of fairly aggressively nasty Mimietic Weaponry with full spectrum Media cover and trying to run a...

  Oh, and Mike, it's all M3 there, we don't expect you to understand it instantly. @Royal Gallery - that's going to cost you a Knight, or Three. Let's call it: one ruination (pick one, weapons industry preferred), one blood debt...

  I mean, it's not like Africa Proconsularis is one of the places where the old Roman notion of Aristocracy started warping into the more recognizable Feudal one, is it? But in both east and west these sources were insufficient, and...
• Commented on Help Wanted at the Climate Policy Sausage Factory
  They might not be funny; depends on your viewpoint. Then again, having NPR / American Liberals / Cambridge University proclaiming the cause of Septimius Severus who not only sacked Ctesiphon[1], who then exported the Prefect system to Mesopotamia, but also...
• Commented on Help Wanted at the Climate Policy Sausage Factory
  Ok, a little bit crazy, but it's crazy pants time in the USA: My problem now in CNPS is that I'm part of the committee tasked with figuring out how we're going to create policies to help us respond to...

  (Note: I was going to go with an alternate history where a professor from Karima had a cultural argument with local Islamic fundamentalists over whether or not red-haired celts could have served at Berenice during the road building of Hadrian...

  References that are helpful (actually said on Fox News - link is picture proof): "Slavery is Evil Until 150 years ago, slavery was rule Plato, Muhammad, Aztecs all owned slaves Slaveholding common among North American Indians" Fox News just now...
• Commented on Help Wanted at the Climate Policy Sausage Factory
  Again, we're playing a Semiotic Game (I'm being monstrous to make the people who believe lies less monstrous - Hadrian was vastly more invested in his road than his wall, not that the Scottish tourist board would like that commonly...

  And if you really want to spot the jokes: The wells and halting places of the caravans are enumerated by Pliny (6.23. s. 26), and in the Itineraries (Antonin. p. 172f.). Belzoni (Travels, vol. ii. p. 35) found traces of...

  If you really start want to understanding where the humor is, well: Via Hadriana The Via Hadriana was an ancient Roman road established by the emperor Hadrian, which stretched from Antinopolis on the River Nile to the Red Sea at...

  Any time there's BIG CAPITAL LETTERS, consider that meta-humor is being deployed. And EC, I'm reading your mind. Berenice - go look it up. Big on gem stones. Pliny the Elder is certainly pre-15th Century....

  Very useful map: Note Syene right in the middle, a major spoiler is that that is the location of cataracta prima. You'll also note the huge Greek influences in city names as well as places such as Berenice which was...

  Yes. Please enter the joke train in the 2nd class compartment by considering I'm hacking out the entire foundations of such nonsense. Septimius Severus was not "an African". He would not have been joked at by "an Ethiopian", he would...

  thatsthejoke.jpg (I forget you're probably not following all the various threads to it, and are reading it without dollops of meta-sarcasm, apologies) You're supposed to spot all the nonsense, I'm making it very easy to with horrible jokes (for instance:...

  Anyhow, a TL;DR for sane people: A Cartoon's Black Star Prompts A Fight: What Did Roman Britain Look Like? Largely Celtic, it's the arse-end of the Empire. No-one wants to go there, let alone visit for holidays: the climate is...

  And pre-industrial the dust didn't fuck with your DNA. Oh, and there were other natural marshlands for all the bird life to enjoy on their migrations. I mean, literally: are you a psychopath? Not sure I even understand people like...
• Commented on Help Wanted at the Climate Policy Sausage Factory
  ~~~Sorry. That's the OTHER climate change sausage, where all involved need to grow the fuck up. It's like watching fucking tadpoles die. p.s. No, it's not going to majorly destroy anyone's sense of ID if you just make it a...
• Commented on Help Wanted at the Climate Policy Sausage Factory
  @Peanut Gallery: All of this is ignoring North Africa and Carthage (PUNIC) remnants etc - of course they were a central part of Rome and in Britannia, that's not even an argument worth having....
• Commented on Help Wanted at the Climate Policy Sausage Factory
  @Peanut Gallery / @pol and Gremlins. Honesty: Would Sub-saharan ethnic groups be serving in the Roman Army? No, of course not. Why? Because they never came under the Province Structure that required Military Service, nor were they under aegis of...

  Oh, if you noticed the use of earlier Greek sources to describe the Red Sea / South Egyptian Kingdoms, this is known in the trade as a MASSIVE FUCKING INSULT. We're basically showing that all these muppets are ignorant of...
• Commented on Help Wanted at the Climate Policy Sausage Factory
  I'm a bit annoyed now, so: If you're a Cambridge / Reading / Oxford scholar, and are attempting to defend "RACE" using Carthage and NW Africa, you NEED A BIT MORE EDUMICATION. You're running right into silly traps and are...
• Commented on Help Wanted at the Climate Policy Sausage Factory
  And, @Peanut gallery AND Cambridge/Reading/Oxford, since I just realized your blinders: The joke is that you're still having a "race" discussion over the Romans and NONE OF YOU can even grasp the non-Eurocentric idea that the Red Sea was a...

  WERE ROMANS POTENTIALLY WHAT THE RACISTS LOVE TO CALL SUB-SAHARAN ETHNIC GROUPS? YES. POINTING TO CARTHAGE IS JUST GIVING THEM AMMO YOU NAIVE DUMB FUCKS. THE IRONY BEING: THE FILM "GLADIATOR" IS ACTUALLY DOING BETTER AT THIS THAN YOU ARE....
