  • Not if he doesn’t change that ladder. A, it can kill the tree to nail into it like that, and B, those nails can also work themselves out, especially wet, windy, or even dry. Basically anything that stresses the tree.

    Anyway, the board usually doesn’t fall out on its own. The most common time for it to give out is suddenly and unpredictably while someone is climbing on it.


  • A slight correction about the Klan, while it was likely true of the first version of the Klan, the second was a multilevel marketing scam by racists to fleece other racists out of their money.

    The robes were branded clothing, and the rings, and the white only vacation spots, and so much more.

    The story of it all is somewhat funny, and very depressing. Mostly because it’s always the exact same story. A racist leader scamming their followers out of money while encouraging more racism.

    Behind the Bastards did a multiple part episode on the Klan a while back, it’s worth a listen.


  • There are thousands of ant hill sculptures in the world.

    The two main ways of making them are either aluminum or some sort of concrete or plaster.

    Aluminum is used more often, due to the ease of extraction from the ground, and the fact that you can clean it with a garden hose or pressure washer.

    Cement or plaster are used when accuracy is desired, but those sculptures need to be removed from the ground with hand trowels and brushes, and will likely need individual parts to be reinforced or braced to prevent breakage.

    Both methods can be used to study the structure of and ant hill. But aluminum far more common for the more artistic versions of the sculpture.



  • It is what they plan for the rest of us. Fascism has always been a sort of “blindly obey the leader or die” sort of thing.

    The second major problem is that a whole bunch of people are then killed, first for being the wrong ethnicity, or killed for having the wrong beliefs, or maybe you just live on land that some rich asshole wants to steal. These people will never even be given a chance to “obey” but will likely be told that they are being killed for disobedience. Or someone will be told.

    And the lie will be believed, because it will be convenient to do so.





  • That’s always the goal. If everyone is oppressed, but they get to participate in the oppression of others, they’ll jump at the chance.

    It’s the fucked up social contract that fascist supporters have with their dear leader, support dear leader unconditionally and dear leader will declare a new group of people to be below the supporters in the social hierarchy. This giving the supporters license to oppress that group.

    While the supporters don’t like getting shit on from above, they take great pleasure from shitting on those below.
