Fascism treats women as mere breeders. "Children, kitchen, and church" was the Nazi slogan for women.

Here is a distant view of the Palace of Versailles from the gardens. It was largely built by Louis XIV, in the late C17th. It's many years since I visited and took this shot, and I have to say I found it impressive, but without being really likeable. It's altogether too ornate, gargantuan, and formal for my taste. There's just too much of the powdered wig about it...

by Yavor Tarinski We become epigones or spectators, but epigones or spectators of our very own potential-to-be. Paolo Virno[1] Within bureaucratic settings time seems to simultaneously rush and stay frozen – an endless cycle of past-presentism that shrinks leisure and … Continue reading →

The Romans were innovators who created a type of early machine gun. The polybolus, was ahead of its time. It was capable of firing multiple metal tipped bolt projectiles in quick succession. Now the walls of Pompeii have been found to bear scars which are probably a result of this machine. Besieged by general Lucius Cornelius Sulla in 89 BCE during the Social Wars. There are also accounts of the machine from 3rd century BCE. https://www.popsci.com/science/ancient-roman-machine-gun-pompeii/

I discovered Holy Water the other day.

I was staying at a house that had a water supply contaminated with hydrogen sulfide, which is common in rotten, still and polluted water. Especially wells.

The symptoms make you delusional and crazy sometimes. "Demons!" I thought, and realized hydrogen peroxide neutralized it and made it safe to drink.

So maybe the mythical holy water started with accidental chemistry to purity "demon water" before purification.

It would work under the guise of "super-patriotism" and "super-Americanism." Fascist leaders are neither stupid nor naive. They know that they must hand out a line that "sells." Huey Long is said to have remarked that if fascism came to America, it would be on a program of "Americanism."

#art #history: if most of the people born into privilege were like nancy cunard (born #otd in 1896), maybe we wouldn't have such an itchy collective guillotine finger. this fashionable fash-basher & anti-racism campaigner (& heir to the cunard shipping line) was a writer who became a muse to man ray, james joyce & langston hughes.
when she wasn't busy being effortlessly avant-garde, nancy worked as a translator for the french resistance.

The official title of the Nazi party was deliberately worded for its propaganda value, appealing to "nationalists," "socialists," "workers," and all others who might be favorably influenced by these labels.
