The #SeattleAutonomousZone is very funny.
It's the Occupy Bowel Movement again, but stupider.
You many not remember that Occupy was see as a Great Leap Forward in radicalism.
It collapsed in disease and feces.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
“The French army began a heavy artillery bombardment of Paris, making no distinction between military targets and civilian centers.”
Would we REALLY miss Seattle?
(History is raciss.)
Another tidbit...
“As each Commune position was taken, the survivors were shot. In one case, 300 men and women were executed.”
(This is great stuff!)
Some comments:
"Razistan!"
"I for one welcome our new Warlord!"
Loads of inside video there as well.
Yeah, Carlos is pretty amazing. He is the world’s foremost expert on WW I flame throwers.
Wasn’t familiar with the Richard Avedon story. Jeez Louise. And guess what I just found at the Met Museum...

But it’s not on display.
Snort.
Ah - thank you. Wish I could replace the link. At least you were awake enough to find it!

Flags of the World?
Female of the Week?

He is not a flavor of the week. He used to write under another name Thomas wictor. I read his stuff first everyday.
Thanks for posting this. I went to the Twitter link and read through the thread. Then I read it with the threader app, which puts all the tweets into a coherent essay form, complete with the photos, etc. And it makes a brilliant historical analysis.
The parallels with our situation are very unnerving. Substitute the three-month global shutdown for the Franco Prussian War as the destabilizing event that permitted chaos and violence to take over, and we can see how we got to this point.
Yes, the Commune did collapse Internally to the point where finally the Army could restore legitimate authority, but it took a lot of deaths and horrible violence and destruction on both sides before this happened. I’d rather not go through that...
FOTW?
Flags of the World?
Fish of the Week?
Fags on tripping wine?
Friend of Thomas Wictor...
He’s really just a great read. His knowledge of history is amazing.
Fly on the wall.
Exactly.
