I, too get blocked by certain sites. I think it's a configuration thing, where it does not like my combination of uBlock/NoScript, even when I explicitly allow their scripts....

But Roosevelt, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, and other top aides cared more about conciliating the powerful, conservative cohort of southern Democrats they considered vital to New Deal legislative majorities.
Wallace therefore fired Agriculture Department radicals in 1935, making clear that the New Deal would do little to threaten the power of planters and agribusiness interests.
.... Meanwhile, the STFU collapsed; its defeat would prove a harbinger of the massive, decades-long transformation in American agriculture, a mid-twentieth-century development that pushed millions of small farmers off the land and into cities.
Well yeah the land did not go away, it was all gobbeled up by the big players. One could argue it was an industry, even if it was in it's infancy 15 years after the dust bowl. By todays standard, where just one man owns 12% of US farmland it may seem like peanuts but these southern plantations were/are impressively huge.

Finns were on several occasions "racially" discriminated against… and not seen as white, but "Asian". The reasons for this were the arguments and theories about the Finns originally being of Mongolian instead of native European origin due to the Finnish language belonging to the Uralic family of Languages …
Thank you that was an interesting read.
Same here. Once I stopped coloring my hair, people never doubted my age..
Nothing really interesting just a user stating it has happened to them.
Well I dimly remember after the 30 year war (? It was a long time ago I learned about this, could have been the restoration after the Napoleonic wars) the church gave up vast swathes of Land in exchange for a set amount of dividends from the state.
But given that was after a drawn out tumultuous war, so I see your point.
Just last week I was re-patching some nasty piece of business logic at a client for a day and remembered the application "Filter Top" from the nineties, where I solved a similar (but slightly simpler) problem on a far inferior less advanced platform in a few minutes with a GUI even.
Return to monke. I'm with you.
Well like all lunatic right wing theories this has a kernel of truth. He just needs to strike Jewish, and the purpose is even more money.
From personal experience the "you're overthinking it, its just class warfare nothing else and that is bad enough " was to me the more effective way of pulling well meaning generally liberal/left leaning people back from the edge of the lunatic to fascism pipeline. I once made the mistake of doing "yes and (the Jesuits and the Medici)" in an ill advised attempt at humor. That person is not in my life anymore. It was far too comfortable being a hateful lunatic around me.
Wouldn't the shareholders, who profit far more off any company than any CEO be a better target? Of taxation and eventual deposition (taxing them out of existence), of course, I do not care about violence.
That looks like he is practicing some comedy skit.
That was a short, interesting read. Thx. Did not know it was more of a meme.
