Socialism was huge in the US between 1890 and 1920, and then a decade later from the Great Depression up until the 1950s.

Some hippie groups and black activists in the 1960s were socialists (universally Trotskyites or Maoists), so we're not as overwhelmingly capitalist as the memes suggest.

They are most certainly akin to acupuncture points. The tattooing was not the main point, but rather that scratches were made where it hurt, somewhat killing the nerves, and rubbed in with ashes from whatever 'magic' plants they used. The tattoos are all where you'd expect an aging hard-working hunter-gatherer to have pains: knees, back, other joints.

It is probably some type of half cremation. Holding the corpse over a fire so that its soul could ride the smoke to the skies or something. My guess is the masked guy is a shaman making sure the ritual's being done according to tradition.

The small things besides the fire are probably some specific shit that the shaman throws into the fire occasionally.

They used them for centuries, so they must have worked.

The Huns were not ethnically/racially homogenous people. It's most likely they were Turkic speakers, of probably the first large-scale Turkic westward expansion. (We actually don't know much about their language, as it was never written down, but there are some clues in the names of recorded leaders/generals.)

It is extremely probable that they picked up admixtures of Central Asian (such as it was at the time), Persian and proto-Slavic people as they moved west. It is known that they were joined by/allied to some Goth groups, as well. They probably had some Asiatic Siberians in their midst, as much later the far eastern original Turkics and Mongols mixed quite a bit. Romans describe them as squat, tanned and with almond-shaped eyes.

Is this some sort of XVIII century tabloid or hard evidence of cuckholding?

That's a Springfield precussion lock rifle. Used by the Union during the Civil war. Pretty common those days (1865)

Seema like the bear would just knock you down and crush your ribcage, or just knock your head off. I don't really see this as being effective.

the whole "collection" of guesses from the 19th century about the 21th century isn't very far from the truth to be honest

still it's always nice to see how some men were defiant to the end and instead of begging and crying for mercy they decided to go out in style, mocking their executioners

M8 they're clogs. They're meant to be worn while working in rice paddies. Since this is a staged photo I'm thinking it was just part of the costume and fighting monks wore real shoes/sandals while fighting

Why do so many pics have men reaching into their coats?

From my understanding, it was a popular sign of fanciness in portraiture. It's also, according to a scanned page of a book I saw years ago, a masonic sign, but non-masons used it too.

>>1140991
>a masonic sign
I'm a Master Mason and I've never seen that sign used in portraiture of my lodge's members. I'm pretty sure it's related to Napoleon.

Funny fact: That blonde manlet is actually Dan Burros, a self hating jew that killed himself after being outed by some journalist

>>1139158
So how does smoking an already dead person and then ceremonially devouring small parts of it go against the notion of le noble savage?

I would understand your point if this was some person brutally murdered to then be eaten. Maybe an enemy or some criminal. But it's not. It's their ancestor.

>>1135540
That's weird. Usually people didn't show any emotion in black and white photos. It's like something out of a modern ad.
