It's often understood that in most cultures and civilizations, even very socially repressive ones, hereditary elites and administrative classes could historically get away with being at least semi-openly /lgbt/
Does anyone want to discuss how /lgbt/ people among non-elite classes fared? Surely not all of them suffered legal punishments even if social ostracization was likely.

Okay can we talk about how amazing Nazi/Fascist architecture was without devolving into stormfront?
Pic related, the cathedral of light was incredible. I would give anything to just be there, to witness the energy of the Nuremberg rallies under the powerful, radiant glow of the searchlights.

people say I am a denier not a revisionist
>treblinka was a transit camp for jews being deported into the eastern territories
it was not a fake train station where jews herder their fellow jews into fake showers to be gassed by diesel exhaust from a captured soviet tank
anyone who believes the official treblinka story is an idiot, simple as that
don't believe me? read "one year in treblinka", about ivan the terrible, about the mattresses made from juden hair about babies being thrown over the top of 750 people crowded into a small bedroom, read about how fat women burn better, like logs, about the jewish complicity in their people's extermination about bodies being stacked higher than a 3 story building and burning without a fuel source, about a single barbed wire fence intertwined with tree branches could hold in thousands and thousands of people day by day by day, about people on a three hour train ride pissing into eachothers mouths and dying of dehydration, about 750 thousand people's hair being cut INSIDE the 'gas chambers', by 16 barbers, on 16 benches, among 750 people, in the space of a medium sized bedroom
the whole things a fucking joke, mass gassings in fake showers never occurred treblinka was a transit camp and the holocaust official story is juden lies, as usual

I'm sorry, but your English skills don't appear to be quite up to speed with this board.
I'd like to recommend Duolingo, or Rosetta Stone if you have some money.

is it possible to create anything original anymore?
Has anything original been made since the 1950s when the flood gates were opened? LSD, the Moon Landing, electronic music, and now it's Silk Road, glitch art, Tumblr, and Bandcamp.
How can one be original in a world where everyone is regarded as unique and special?

Idk
What artist is that though? I really like glitch art and that's a really good piece.
>>
>>406494
if human artifice is itself the first artistic creation, and technology has blown open our dependence upon anything ~but~ our artificial creations, by what reference point are we ever to judge the work of art or communicate with others?
Is language itself becoming obsolete and meaningless?
>>
>>406507
idk I just google glitch art but let's be serious i'm having an artistic crisis here!
if everyone's art is equally unique and special than nothing new can be further created. free jazz was the end of originality in music, and the internet is the end of communication in humans.
what do we do!?

meh stalin killed more people, but not for lack of trying on hitler's part. you could argue that hitler had a bigger role in starting WW2 than stalin and it's more attributable to him, but then who can say.
