Yeah, like they even teach history down south. Hell, Trump went to the best schools I'm sure and he doesn't have a ****ing clue.

Given that Texas runs the textbook industry, odds are history stopped being taught in the South centuries ago

So the Arizona Republican Party leaders went to Wisconsin? (those who understand are laughing)

BTW if you ever want to understand how sad Jeff Davis truly was go to his house in Biloxi. (which is also his "Presidential Library" ) It is prety weak. True story my GF and I were there and one of the "Librarians" caught me looking at a map book. He came over to talk to me. He was a kindly old fellow with a long beard who looked like he fought for the South. (not in a cosplay sort of way) Anyways he is talking to me and telling me how with these maps we can pinpoint everywhere my family fought. I tell him no one in my family fought in the war he argues with me. My gf says her family did but he ignores it. He continues to try and convince me that if I look I will find connections to the War and I keep telling him I wont. (he is still ignoring my gf who is not pleased) After about five minutes I stop him and I say "I know my family was not here but do yourself a favor and ask my gf the same question!" He kind of grumbles and asks her who her relatives are and she replies "Well lets put it this way my uncle's name is James Beauregard Madison..." the guy was stunned and then deemed her worthy of talking to. We left shortly thereafter...

Misogyny is still rampant in the North too.

Was in a car dealership with wife a few years back when her car was being worked on. Service manager tried to explain things to me, and when he wrapped up his spiel, I pointed to my wife and said, "it's her car, talk to her about it."

He rolled his eyes and slowly enunciated the problem to my (very mechanically inclined) wife. She then told him he mis-diagnosed the problem, try it again.

Hour later he begrudgingly admitted that the diagnosis my wife gave incredulously matched what his technician found, and it was being fixed. He even graciously offered to drive the car around front for her.

Twenty minutes later he angrily and embarrassedly pointed her toward the back of the garage, mumbles "here's your keys, it's all fixed." And walked away.

On top of "the woman" being right, big tough service manager couldn't drive a stick shift.

This is a random observation, but I feel like I get a lot more out of reading about history as an adult than I ever did as a kid. With that being said, I'm sure I'm very much in the minority as far as the reading I do. What percentage of the population even reads say five non fiction books a year? It can't be more than a few percent.

It's only above 1% if you include tripe like self-help or investment books or Malcolm Gladwell or "Killing Lincoln."

It would be interesting (and impossible) to know what percentage of people over the age of 30 read any book that was previously assigned to them in a high school class. My guess is 1 in 10,000.

Yeah, when you look at book sales numbers it can't be very high. It's to bad so many people miss out.

It is. The "great books" mean far more once we've had life experience but most people never find out.

Verbatim.

And the Comments are an InfoWars circle jerk.

Interact with the physical world. Form up into units of strength. Go before the authorities and demonstrate that you have numbers and strength (never "protest" that is weak and useless). Be polite and talk to them but let them subtly by just a organized and disciplined show of numbers so that they respect and even fear you. They will join you or when the time comes turn the armory over to you.

The more in positions of authority and physical control you can bring into your ranks the better.

If you are a leader, lead. If not find a group to join. Competence, intelligence and realistic view of the world is better than ideology. If a group breaks down into stupid chanting and yelling, try to determine the infiltrators and take names on lists, and find a real action group.

Get technical people. Think TV, cable, phone, power, water, sewer. Get police and government, and army people on board also.

This is not about rioting and killing, but preparation for war with the Enemy of the People. This is about saving your community not destroying it. But nevertheless it is war and all that entails.

Get a command structure. Become disciplined and enforce discipline. Build a communications network. Build an intelligence network. Build a recruitment and training network. Mostly this stuff is already there, just find it.

Spend time offline. Go on maneuvers. Personally: Become a trained rifleman. Be a minuteman. Be ready to join the battle at a minutes notice.

In summary: Get out more and interact with people. Build your network and get involved.

A masturbation kit if you think Red Dawn was a documentary. And to be fair the infrastructure and comms part is sound -- if these dinks actually go violent at some point we'll need some sane people with communications and utilities skills to keep us safe while law enforcement hits the accelerator on Darwin.

These people are dangerous and delusional, but it is heartening that they are so very, very stupid.

I only qualify because one of my English teachers was a Tolkeinite (had a map of Middle-Earth painted on a wall) and I read LOTR anyway.
 
Re: POTUS 45.18 - Who Run Derpertown? McMasterBlaster Run Derpertown.

Most of the books assigned to me in high school were absolute garbage.

It wasn't until college that I found assigned books I enjoyed. And it was only in my history of politics or something like that. Second treatise, communist manifesto, and about fifteen more I can't remember.

I found lot of fiction assigned in high school was pretentious, boring, or overanalyzed. Nonfiction I gobbled up, but unfortunately we didn't get a lot of that.

Camus, Achibe, whatever schmuck wrote ordinary people, Dickens, Salinger, everything my 10th grade English teacher assigned us, (that I can even remember this many has me mystified). Blech. I think dickens was the only decent storyteller but my god, TLDR.

I think there notable exception was Shakespeare.

I had a better experience with assigned reading early on than you did, apparently, but what Kep says about how much living enhances our understanding and appreciation of literature is spot on. And I can't think of an author that observation applies to more than Shakespeare. It's easy to see why people believe that those works could not be the effort of just one person.

To be fair, it takes a lot of pages to make sure every goddam character in the story is related to or somehow knows each other.

I couldn't have read more ham 50 pages of that book before I gave up. Sting Larsson got to the point faster than him.

It's probably really really low. I read about 1-3 non-fiction books per year (although I watch quite a few more documentaries per month). I don't really get into the history books, though. Book are more sports, organized crime, and pop-culture. Historical documentaries are more my thing.

Read them when you're 40. It is remarkable how much those books have changed.

A lot of the books I tried to read in HS were lost on me too. I'm still trying to appreciate Joseph Conrad. There were some exceptions though that really reached me, like "Antigone" and Life on the Mississippi. I'm glad books assigned in high school are aspirational -- this is a healthy thing in an institution that is typically just a conveyor belt for office workers and consumers.

For Camus I recommend The Stranger but first I'd recommend reading the first 30 or so pages of Being and Nothingness -- the concept of radical freedom will blow the top of your head off and make Camus' fiction comprehensible.

For Salinger... I got nothin'. He's an adolescent fapjob but the same generation that ruined the rest of the world read "Catcher" when they were 15 and swooned so we all have to suffer til they're dead.
