I think, for the sake of the subject matter covered on this channel, regardless of the metrics of what works best for them, the sponsor segments should always be at the start. The video about the genocide in Myanmar had the mid video sponsor segment and was just disorienting of a turn of subject. Especially when dealing with ongoing conflicts or historical ones needing grace and respect, the sponsor should be up front and separate from the subject matter like this video.

[@adenkyramud5005]

I agree, but certain sponsors require the sponsor segment at specific parts of the video (at the beginning, in the middle, etc) so it's not always possible

[@KittyKatAspen]

@@adenkyramud5005 I think if one is to make a channel handling this subject matter, they would stand against taking sponsorship like that, or let the sponsor know of the hazards of mid roll segments.

The one big takeaway I got from that book (which I read two decades ago) was that their revolution was made possible by the gov't outlawing and confiscating privately owned firearms. According to the book, the conservatives who claimed they would never give up their guns, did the opposite. They were among the first to comply. The revolutionaries kept theirs and hid them. Also, the author had a keen eye for sociopolitical trends, as the world described in that book is disturbingly similar to today's world.

@VampyreVladimira Essentially, there was a group of religious separatists that had an end of days belief. They were accused of weapons violations and sexual misconduct. The federal government went to their compound to serve a warrant on the leader. The "Davidians," as they were called, were prepared. This led to a shootout and a long, drawn-out standoff and seige. It ended in a fire and the death of almost everyone in the compound. There are several documentaries and movies about it. There is still a lot of debate about all the events that took place and who was at fault. It was a tragedy regardless of who was at fault.

[@themadpolymath3430]

​@VampyreVladimira ATF murdered women and children by burning down a compound of a cult that had "automatic weapons" that were never found. The leader of the cult was a "child lover" apparently, but the government wasn't there for that. All the video footage that showed the ATF firing first was "lost" so all we have the the ATF's word that "no they shot at us first". But they massacred those women and children and blamed it on the cult.

He actually initially rejected his father's Nazi ideology (at least in his younger days) and even wrote an essay decrying it. His dad was a member of the German Bund and was a fervent anti-communist and anti-semite. However, Barker later wrote articles as Calverhall for a holocaust denier periodical. Barker rejected the hedonistic and atheist Hippie culture of the late '60s and '70s and their rejection of moral values. It comes through in the excerpts I've read of _Serpent's Walk_ .

okay you're going too far there. loving lovecraft doesn't make you a racist. nor do I see calls for violence in the Cthulu mythos. Lovecraft was a neurotic neophobe. His racism was a product of severe clinical anxiety. If he lived today, he'd be seeing a psychiatrist and therapist and be on medication. He also married a Jew who shared his love of books, against the wishes of his family, so its clear that he cared more about books than he did about race. You notice that his protagonists aren't just white protestants, they're copies of HIM. He's the one being turned into a monster, driven insane, or killed. He's doing these things to himself in his novels. Psychologically, he did have a lot of things in common with racists. But it was more than just racism. It was the much broader neophobia, the fear of new things. Anything that was new and unfamiliar. Not just people of different races, faiths or creeds. I'm not sure if this makes sense, I'm waiting for my first cup of coffee to kick in. But to denounce him as merely a racist is to oversimplify him immensely.

@@matteste I love lovecraft, but he can occasionally get too ornate. and occasionally he misuses a word in his quest to be obtuse. In the Cats of Ulthar for example, I don't think he knows what the word hoary means. Its an archaic word for hairy. So he's calling Africa "Dark and hairy". Like whut? That doesn't make sense. If he meant hoary as in behaving like a whore, then he seriously misused the word. How do I know what hoary means? Because I've grown horehound, a medicinal tea herb, which got its name from 'hoary" because it was fuzzy.

This is very disappointing for me personally, as Tekumel has always been fascinating to me. I always knew the caste system was evil, and of course slavery, but Medieval European Feudalism was awful as well, and Tekumel was a very distinct, non-European fantasy setting. No matter what I might think about M.A.R. Barker himself, I have spent too many decades engaging in the content to abandon all that effort because Barker was a Nazi wanker. Just as I wouldn't abandon Dungeons and Dragons or Middle Earth if I discovered something awful about their creator.

Did we read the same novel? I read in the 80's that the FBI rated 'The Turner Diaries' as the most dangerous book in America, so I had to locate a copy, which was easy. Taking quotes out of context may make for good video, but the book is about tribalism taking over the U.S. Reading excerpts does not give the whole vibe or lessons in the book. If you don't think that our current 'system' is encouraging tribalism, you haven't been paying attention. While horrific, the book shows what can happen after a disaster, then the overreaching 'system' that insists on disarming the public, then pitting one group against the other. Al Qaeda must have read the ending. It's a must read book to understand that empires fail, and what rises in its place may not be very good. Read it.

[@neglectfulsausage7689]

Yeah, it looks to me like the powers that be are trying to actively cause the turner diaries. For the same reason that "cleansing" was caused in haiti and Rwanda, by putting a minority group in control over a majority and trying to oppress that majority. They have had a very violent swing to the left and that swing is going to cause a counter-reaction because thats a fundamental law of nature and politics.

Even 3rd generation "immigrants" are often still on welfare 50+ years later. Many of these people will spend their career earning time in prison costing $ instead of making $ to be taxed. Bringing up that we live in this horrible machine and it's bleeding to death makes me hateful.

One interesting note that I think is worth mentioning as a point of trivia. According to William's son, Kelvin Pierce, who wrote a memoir about growing up under his father's horrifyingly abusive parenting, William would grow to see the vast majority of the people who read the turner diaries as useless, bloodthirsty and unmanagable halfwits. The same pulpy, hyper-violent themes that made the Turner Diaries so popular made it also extremely attractive to the very unthinking, impulsive and lackadasical jackasses he saught to distance himself from when he separated from the ANP.

I listened to it on audio book once. The book is silly and doesn't contain anything anymore dangerous than you're average 1970's men's adventure novel-- which is basically what the book is. Younger people may not remember, but back in the 70's and 80's there were loads of cheap paperbacks from a genre called "men's adventure." A genre which virtually no longer exists. It was about secret agents and other extraordinary characters, but sometimes your everyman, saving the world and so on. And they usually had james bond-esque romance angles as well. Its actually very peculiar that this genre is all but forgotten- it was extremely popular into the 90's. But William Pierce essentially wrote in this genre but with a political angle.

Matthews, the leader of the Order, was said to be the sort who'd help when you're down on your luck; something that brought in recruits to his group.
