“The ‘Dark Ages’,” Haywood writes, “has become a byword for ignorance, brutality and squalor.” He objects to that generalisation but then goes on to show that many areas were indeed dark. After Rome fell, the threads that held society together began to break. Across the old empire, splendid buildings were abandoned and knowledge of Latin waned. Violence took the place of governance. It is interesting to note that the Visigoths ruled the Iberian peninsula from 418 to 631 but left almost no cultural mark on the region.

come the fuck on, man. do you think Rome and Greece were not violent? do you think languages wouldn't change across 1000 years and (at least) 3 continents?

Why didn’t you know this? Platner lies in reporters’ faces but no one fact-checks him. When his Nazi tattoo was first reported, he ran to Tommy Vietor’s podcast for damage control. He told his false leaving-the-Marines story; Vietor laughed with him. No hard questions for your buddies. 6/

Of course Platner knew what his Nazi symbol was. It changed his life. His tattoos were reviewed when he asked to return active duty; a trained officer looked for violations. The sleeve tattoos were OK. The Totenkopf was not. Platner chose to keep it. Somewhere in DoD, it’s all written down. 5/

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Not "terrorists," not "radicals," not even "Islamists." "Iranians." In case anyone was confused about who the enemy is

"The only ones who need to be worried right now is the Iranians who think they're gonna live"

"No stupid rules of engagement ... no politically correct wars" US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth

This interpretation of the Civil Rights Act is also shared (though in less explicitly Nazi-ish ways) by the folks at Hillsdale who are basically in charge of the 250th anniversary commemoration. bsky.app/profile/seth...

Critical thread on Platner, who is becoming the Democrats' Roy Moore (i.e. a test of whether we have any boundaries at all).

You’d think paling around with the pedophile sex trafficker would be disqualifying, but apparently to these people it isn’t.

Neue Episode #USAUpdate: Ein Teil der Religiösen Rechten jubelt über den Krieg mit dem Iran, der andere sieht den Angriff auf den Iran als Verrat. Im Podcast geht's heute um die theologischen und ideologischen Gründe für beide Positionen. Die ersten 5 Minuten sind zum Reinhören für alle kostenlos.

(S+) Meinung: Deutsche Außenpolitik: Mehr Drecksarbeit, weniger Gerede vom Völkerrecht Die deutsche Politik bewertet den Krieg gegen Iran nach juristischen Maßstäben. Doch es ist höchste Zeit, stärker in Kategorien der Macht zu denken.

„Mehr Drecksarbeit, weniger Gerede vom Völkerrecht“

das müssen die berühmten Lehren aus der deutschen Geschichte sein!

getarnt als gewagter Essay, wird hier ex post gerechtfertigt, was die dt Politik faktisch schon vollzogen hat: Völkerrecht 👎🏼, Recht des Stärkeren 👍🏼

Faszinierend, wie Manuel Hagel es in zwei Videos geschafft hat, zu bestätigen, dass Frauen/Mädchen für viele konservative Männer einfach entweder Sexualobjekte, Mutterfiguren oder verhasste Autoritätspersonen sind.

Anyway, this 2024 tweet is from someone who was a regular co-host on Charlie Kirk's show and has spoken innumerable times at TPUSA events, just in case there's any question about the interpretation of US History these folks endorse. bsky.app/profile/seth...

Catherine Beecher is the perfect choice to juxtapose with Charlie Kirk. In the era when American women began advocating for suffrage, Beecher was a prominent anti-suffragist.

TO RULE THEM ALL «Christen haben eine Verpflichtung, ein Mandat, einen Auf-trag, eine heilige Verantwortung, das Land für Jesus Christus zurückzuerobern - um die Herrschaft in den zivilen Strukturen zu haben, genauso wie in jedem anderen Aspekt des Lebens und der Frömmigkeit [...] Aber es ist Herrschaft, nach der wir streben. [...] Welteroberung.» - George Grant (ehe-maliger Geschäftsführer von Coral Ridge Ministries)' In den 1950er und 1960er Jahren drängte eine neue Denkschule innerhalb des Christlichen Nationalismus ins öffentliche Leben, aber auch in das Privatleben vieler Amerikaner: Sie wurde von R.J. Rushdoony (1916-2001) begründet und nennt sich «Christlicher Rekonstruktionismus». Rushdoony war der Sohn armenischer Einwanderer, die 1915 während des Ersten Weltkriegs vor dem Genozid geflohen waren. Rushdoonys Sohn Würde diese Erfahrung seines Vaters später als prägend für dessen gesamte Weltsicht bezeichnen.? In Armenien gibt es keinen neutralen Boden zwischen Islam und Christentum. Und ich habe verstanden, dass es nirgendwo neutralen Boden gibt», schrieb Rushdoony 1997.3 (Cin Die Theologieprofessorin Julie Ingersoll nennt Rushdoony von der du noch nie ge-

@ardenthistorian.bsky.social sagt das schon lange. Ihr Buch Amerikas Gotteskrieger ist Pflichtlektüre.

A vintage-style illustration of a white nuclear family sitting together in a church pew. The father looks upward with a proud expression, the mother sits beside him smiling, and two children sit nearby. An American flag is visible in the background near a stained-glass window. Large text over the image reads: “Outbreed.” and “Outlast.” Below the image is a block of hashtags including: #biblicalpatriarchy #christianpatriarchy #biblicalgenderroles #biblicalsubmission #biblicalmarriage #biblicalorderofthefamily #traditionalgenderroles #biblicalwomanhood #biblicalfemininity #traditionalfemininity #rejectmodernism #westernkind #tradfem #tradwife #antiwhiteeracism #revoltagainstthemodernworld #rejectdegeneracy #antifeminism #feminismiscancer #feminismispoison #femininenotfeminist #traditionalfamily #traditionalvalues #traditionalism #embracetradition #rejectmodernity #outbreed #outlast.

A staged photograph of a blonde woman lying on grass in a garden while holding a small blonde child. Both wear matching floral dresses and hair accessories. The child reaches forward to touch the woman’s face with a flower. The setting is soft and pastoral with greenery and flowers in the background, evoking an idealized motherhood scene. An Instagram-style caption block appears over the image with the account name “thetradwoman” followed by emojis. Hashtags include: #tradwife #homemaker #housewife #traditionalism #feminine #traditionalvalues #homemaking #traditionalgenderroles #femininity #christian #femininenotfeminist #revoltagainstthemodernworld #traditionalfamily #family #christianwife #traditionalist #rejectmodernism #biblicalfemininity #embracetradition #conservative #traditional #traditionalfemininity #tradwoman #motherhood #tradwives.

A stylized image of a woman in a red gingham dress with white ruffled trim standing outdoors in an orchard or garden. The framing emphasizes her torso and neckline while she holds a pair of cherries in one hand and part of the dress in the other. The aesthetic resembles a vintage 1950s housewife or pastoral homestead theme. An Instagram caption block with hashtags appears over the image. Visible hashtags include: #happinessishomemade #oldfashionedonpurpose #cottagecoreaesthetic #tradwife #autumnvibes #housewife #traditionalliving #homemaker #homemadewhole #counterculturalwoman #revoltagainstthemodernworld #mothering #gardenlife #nestandflourish #marriedlife #thefemininerevolution #livesimple #gracefulliving #whimsicalwonderfulwild #vintagehousewife #homesweethome #oldfashionedonpurpose #traditionalism #1950shousewife #thetradwivesclub #homestead #kitchengarden #growyourown #femininewomen.

Portrait of a white man with long hair braided down his back and the sides of his head shaved. Tattoos are visible on the shaved scalp. He has a full beard and is wearing a dark leather shirt while looking off to the right. The styling evokes a “Viking” or hyper-masculine aesthetic. A block of Instagram hashtags appears over the image. Visible hashtags include: #masculinity #redpill #men #feminism #masculine #revoltagainstthemodernworld #manhood #feminismiscancer #truelife #man #toxicmasculinity #longhairedmen #redpilled #alphamale #beards #beardedmen #beardedvillains #staybearded #beardoil #barbers #prolife #traditionalhusband #vegan #vikingaesthetic #viking #nordic #vikingsofinstagram #thebeardedgent #biblicalmasculinity.

The far-right loves Evola, an early 20th century philosopher who called himself a “super-fascista” and considered Mussolini too soft. Part of what makes him the darling of people like Steve Bannon is that Evola was an ardent traditionalist.
