Unsurprisingly, your knowledge of Civil War history is grossly lacking.

Furthermore Sushy is an old, are olds known to purchase unlocked Chinese Android phones? I think we need to err on the side of vigilance here and ban - just until we figure out what the hell is going on and can do some more extreme vetting.

BS saw Led Zep in 72 so he must be at least 61 and probably a few years older than that.

I was surprised to learn that Hitler's paintings only sell for like $30k at auctions, since that spoils the whole premise of that one It's Always Sunny episode. Or maybe that's not true, I dunno I just skimmed a few pages.

Shocking that Amazon would sell unlocked Huawei phones that have over 2,000 customer reviews (and at a 4+ star average!). I guess those US Embedded Russian trolls need their devices I guess? lol@u
No criticism of a Trump supporter is trivial enough to avoid the scorn of The Real Progressive

To give Hitler his due (mind you, he gave himself his true due, in the bunker, in May of 1945), he did actually write Mein Kampf, whereas The Art of the Deal was ghostwritten. On the other hand, as George Orwell and many others have pointed out, Mein Kampf is pretty badly written. And the author's original title was 'Four And A Half Years of Struggle Against Lies, Stupidity And Cowardice,' which sounds like something Mel Brooks might have made up just to poke fun at him, but no, that really was the title he gave it. The somewhat snappier 'My Struggle' was the publisher's idea.

Well-read he wasn't, nah. Full-time lifelong idiot. He did go to the same Gymnasium (high school) in Linz as Ludwig Wittgenstein, and their time there overlapped in 1903-4.

(The oft-reproduced 1901 school photo which is captioned to show 'Wittgenstein' standing close to 'Hitler' is a red herring. The 'Hitler' kid is genuinely and unmistakably Hitler, but the 'Wittgenstein' kid isn't Wittgenstein, who wasn't at the school then. http://www.openculture.com/2014/12/w...n-austria.html)

But although they were the same age, they weren't in the same grade. Wittgenstein was promoted one year above his age, and Hitler was demoted one year down, so they were two grades apart and probably never interacted. Plus Hitler then got expelled.

And you know who else was expelled from high school? Noted Trump fanboi Milo Yiannopoulos, or Hanrahan as he was originally known. Who, at Minnesota State, on his 'Dangerous ******' campus tour in December of 2016, described a certain BuzzFeed journalist as 'a typical example of a sort of thick-as-pig**** media Jew.' That's who.

But lol yeah the list of American Trump supporters keeps on shrinking. Broadway is from Down Under somewhere(from my research into the native market for that phone), ToothSayer and LordJvK and mondidig seem to be English, Marn is Swedish.

Really inspiring how many of these guys want to Make America Great Again

Toothsayer almost certainly wasn't a Brit, due to some of his spellings and colloquialisms. But otherwise the pattern is right.

There is a book by some Australian claiming that Wittgenstein was the bane of Hitler's Realschule years and was a central source of his later anti-Semitism. The same book, IIRC, posits that Wittgenstein's trip to the USSR indicates that he was part of the Cambridge spy ring and that WWII was basically a massive feud between Hitler and Wittgenstein.

It's absolute gibberish of course, but I want to read it anyway. Ordered it on Amazon and got stiffed by the seller.

Toothsayer is 100% American.
02-11-2017 , 02:39 PM
Or Canadian.

Poster was AC Slater who still posts here sometimes, is surprisingly (or unsurprisingly?) some form of reformed ACist, and yes you are correct the thread and the OP veered into the bizarre and apocryphal.

Obviously not. The administration already took a DOJ office which investigated extremist groups of all types and made it so they only investigate Muslim group.

These pictures should almost certainly be their own thread, right?
