Happy New Year!
why are straight white guys so obsessed with world war 2
like iāll talk about my interest in history and iāll have guys be likeĀ āyeah iām a history buff too i love world war 1 and 2ā³ like cool i was talking about ancient history. like the conversation was literally about ancient egypt.Ā
my fave thing is replyingĀ āoh, cool. i just canāt get into it. i like everyday life and religion and art. personally, i find war boring.ā and let me tell you itās a journey to watch them try and understand that killing thousands of people indiscriminately doesnāt hold my attention.Ā
yup itās always the āoh youāre just not into historyā and the response of āyes i am im just into ancient historyā and youāre ready to throw 38 greek myths at them just to shut them up about the kinds of bombers the britsh were using in the second world war
except like. they really dont give a single fuck about wwi/ii. they care about the weapons and machinery. do they care about the events and the people? do they care about why wars were actually important? in my experience, very, very rarely.
I think that gets to heart of it: theyāre not history buffs in any real sense. What they are is war fanboys. They collect and curate technical information about wars just like any other fanboy collects and curates technical information about the subject of their fandom. Itās basically not real to them; knowing what exact metal the buttons of SS uniforms were made of is of no greater significance to them than knowing the exact height of the captainās chair on the starship Enterprise - itās just another shiny technical fact for their collection.
Itās incredibly annoying because WW1 and WW2 are actually really interesting in terms of how politics changed and the like but all people want to talk about is the fighting. :/
This comic from The Nib is a great analysis of how the cultural obsession with World War II andĀ āthe greatest generationā has completely skewed our view of its history and totally fucked us up.
^ definitely definitely read this, especially if you were too young to remember the immediate post-9/11 times.
Did you know that leeches were once used to predict storms? Well, a tornado warning just dropped and my squad is climbing
@takemetoturch
My dad is a meteorologist and he has never once warned me about an incoming storm. My leeches, however......

*urgently* Lads, the leechometre is at 12 bong, I repeat, 12 bong!
"tempest prognosticator" absolutely sounds like some kind of arcane device a wizard would have lying around in his workshop
It would also probably have leeches in it.
we are in a media literacy crisis
friendly reminder that characters don't need to be saints to be entertaining. and telling a story does not mean endorsement. art does not need to be all about morally good people.
IDK if this was meant as hyperbole but it's literally true:
Adult literacy is low.
Child literacy is low.
Information literacy has shifted dramatically in the last decade, but reputable information sources like research journals and factual news reporting have been unable to keep pace.
We are genuinely in a crisis of media literacy, with ever fewer genuinely factual resources available in the style and language used by contemporary audiences.
It may sound condescending, but we genuinely need to remind people, or worse, explain to them for the first time that art is not evidence of real world behaviour.
So, thank you, for this reminder. Genuinely.
You're correct:
Art does not need to feature exclusively morally pure characters. Art is not proof of the creator's secret, violent desires.

Look, rather than being petty and destroying it, why not talk to the girl. Really ask them why they are using the confederate flag. But no, low level terrorism is the answer.
LOW LEVEL TERRORISM?
