Skin In The Game: How Antisemitism Animates White Nationalism by Eric Ward
Awesome new audio up on the website about the connections between antisemitism and racism take a listen. “American White nationalism, which emerged in the wake of the 1960s civil rights struggle and descends from White supremacism, is a revolutionary social movement committed to building a Whites-only nation, and antisemitism forms its theoretical core.”
I wont say an exception is not possible, but billionaires do not donate money. They buy control over something that is important to them. If there are exceptions I have not seen them. Every time you see a billionaire being a philanthropist and actually giving a significant percent of their money look a bit deeper and you will find them actually buying control, not giving money away.
A prime example is Bill Gates. Well known as a philanthropist, primarily for his large scale donation to education. Except what actually happened is he essentially bought a sharing control in the US education system and proceeded to fucked it up terribly. I will believe his intentions were good, but frankly that doesn’t matter. He fucked it up because he is a billionaire and billionaires just can’t give up control. It is how they became billionaires in the first place, it is baked into their minds.
They just can’t accept that Notre Dame isn’t for sell. Because that is what “donations” mean to billionaires. They want to buy a controlling stake in something that they care about, and they have been doing so long they think that this is philanthropy. Because it makes sense to them that if they are going to invest *their* money that they should make sure it is done right. But they generally have no fucking idea what they are doing when it comes to these things.
Anyway if billionaires actually wanted to help the first thing they need to do is let go of their control and pay god damn taxes.
The Kiosk of Trajan is an example of what Vitruvius calls a hypaetral, or roofless, temple. It served as the riverside entrance to the temple complex on the island of Philae. Although it was constructed by command of the Roman emperor, it was built in an entirely Egyptian style.
The association with Trajan stems from the depiction of the emperor, identified by a hieroglyphic inscription, in the guise of an Egyptian pharaoh.
Due to the flooding of the region around the Aswan Dam, in 1965 the kiosk was moved from the island of Philae in 1962 to higher ground. The photo below, taken in 1857, shows the building at its original location.

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
