… I’m sure he never mentioned it even once when he was running for Senate
This isn’t a popularity contest.
Oh wait, nevermind. Proceed.
[coughs discreetly]
Won’t onebox properly, but jumps to the “Aryanism and racism” bit:
Two excerpts for the TL;DR crowd (although to be fair, if you know this, you have most of what you absolutely need to know):
In the 1850s, the term ‘Aryan’ was adopted as a racial category by the aristocratic French writer Arthur de Gobineau, who, through the later works of his followers such as Houston Stewart Chamberlain, influenced the Nazi racial ideology. Under Nazi rule (1933–1945), the term officially applied to most inhabitants of Germany excluding Jews, Roma, and Slavs (mostly Slovaks, Czechs, Poles and Russians).
Those classified as ‘non-Aryans,’ especially Jews, were discriminated against before suffering the systematic mass killing known as the Holocaust and the Porajmos.
In India, the British colonial government had followed de Gobineau’s arguments along another line, and had fostered the idea of a superior “Aryan race” that co-opted the Indian caste system in favor of imperial interests. In its fully developed form, the British-mediated interpretation foresaw a segregation of Aryan and non-Aryan along the lines of caste, with the upper castes being “Aryan” and the lower ones being “non-Aryan”. The European developments not only allowed the British to identify themselves as high-caste, but also allowed the Brahmins to view themselves as on-par with the British. Further, it provoked the reinterpretation of Indian history in racialist and, in opposition, Indian Nationalist terms.
Different day, same old shit.
Atlas shrugged. “Hey, it’s a gig,” he barked.
It’s possible that the dog lives with his secret family.
Yeah…bringing up on a podcast that he doesn’t have a secret family in Alaska, and if he did he’s sure as shit not going to admit it (especially to his other wife) is not weird. /s
… I have not kept up with all the creepy J. D. Vance memes
People paid money to see a porn-a-like for Sarah Palin. Nobody wants to even think of one for Vance.
I assume they’re going to land on Those People are the real Aryans soon.
ETA:
Hey, @FGD135, have a refreshing beverage!
Couching Tiger, Hidden Family
We don’t think that’s because Palin is a woman and some people can’t think of them as anything other than sexual objects, huh?
This is from after her failed run for VP, but it’s about the Fox News culture that helped her campaign and hired her later:
Kamala should invite JD (and his wife Usha) to a Diwali celebration just to see if he knows what it is.
I’d happily bet actual money that Vance has, and will do again in the future, all of those things.
One of the factors contributing to the incredible feat of bankrupting a casino resort was Biff allowing several of his key Taj Mahal executives to travel on the same helicopter, which crashed killing all.
So he has a history with this kind of thing. Maybe he just took Putin’s advice on how to dump this weird disaster of a running mate.
And then there was the helicopter that had to land, with the generic Black guy.
Maybe he stiffs the maintenance company?
