How does this end? How do the media and the chronically online white supremacist thugs of the internet get held accountable? How do we protect ourselves?

The German version is slightly better, for being better getting across the Nazi aesthetics and social differences within the German middle leadership

A great weekend of Arnhem related games of Chain of Command at the Airborne Museum Hartenstein in Oosterbeek. Three scenario's were played: Baskeyfield Corner, Weverstraat and Driel with visitors joining in or asking questions and enjoying the craft of the terrain and miniatures on the tables.

Stories about capital punishment during the American Revolution, 1775-1783. In late April 1775, enslaved man Emanuel de Antonio was hanged in the Borough of Norfolk, VA for "being concerned in a conspiracy to raise an insurrection."

Klopt, maar het verlenen van bepaalde statelijke rechten aan VOC en WIC heeft grote impact. Ik weet niet of Nederlandse handelaren zulke impact hadden kunnen maken tegen Spaanse en Portugese bezittingen volgens het versnipperde model (en onderlinge concurrentie) van de voorcompagnieën

I wouldn't be surprised Elon if is trying to make sure that space will be 'slegs vir blankes'. Also, the absence of people with a skin colour might be at the center of a dystopian vision of a future in 38,000 years

The King of the Netherlands has just accepted a set of five books on the colonial dealings of his ancestors, the house of Orange. Conclusions: they profited (financially and in prestige) from and supported the empire, but didn't much shape it [that I would disagree with] nos.nl/artikel/2633...

'Eeuwenlang uitgesproken steun Oranjes aan kolonialisme, maar weinig invloed op beleid'
Aan de trans-Atlantische slavenhandel en Caribische slavernij verdienden de Oranjes vrijwel niets. Niet omdat ze dat niet wilden, maar omdat het niet lukte, volgens nieuw onderzoek.
