The cover of the next Stern, a German news magazine.

The title Sein Kampf (transl. his struggle) is a play on the title of Hitler’s autobiography Mein Kampf (transl. my struggle).

The full translation of the cover would be

How Donald Trump is stirring up hatred in America

When Germans call you a Nazi….

Originally posted by usedpimpa

I see so much commentary in the tags about how Trump can’t be a Nazi because he’s pro-Israel, and I’m sitting here like, guys. Children. Nazi doesn’t mean “kills Jews.” That was the horrible outcome. The ideology itself was putting one’s own nation above all else (ring a bell?) while undermining democratic values (RING A BELL?) and being blatantly racist (RING A… you know what, forget it, you’re not listening to me anyway). 

Instead of anti-communism you now have fierce pro-capitalism and instead of Jewish people being called animals you now have immigrants facing the same hatred. You already have the denunciations and people walking from door to door trying to root out “illegals.”

Current US politics may not involve any gas chambers, but Hitler didn’t burst on the political scene with “Let’s kill all the Jews!” either. If you honestly think US policies won’t escalate further, especially if Trump gets a second term, you’re standing chin-deep in denial.

I know it’s from a superhero movie, but the line I keep running in my head is, “Everyone forgets that the first country the Nazis invaded was their own.”

Also just because he’s ‘pro Israel’ doesn’t mean he’s ‘pro Jewish’. The man’s been horrifically antisemitic on a number of occasions.

i started seeing screenshots of tumblr users receiving messages from a blog called “sexygirlmax2019”

this is, of course, standard on tumblr, to receive porn bot messages

they were exceptionally weird
“Hey peebrain -you teleport?”
“Hi pea for brains…. can you teleport?”

checking the timestamps, all of sexygirlmax2019’s posts have been made today
they’re formatted impeccably like bot messages and posts
but they’re just a little off

this isn’t a bot
this is a human controlling a blog acting like a bot
all of the links?? aren’t porn links
mysterious bit.ly links to this site:
https://max2019.neocities.org/
if you “click here to instantly transport” you get taken to
> /seraphim.html
if you click it again
> /cherubim.html
again
> /thrones.html
…which returns a “Page Not Found” error

Porn Bot ARG

So I ran the mp3 you could get from /cherubim.html through a sstv scanner and got this back

image

Which is just straight up the image from /seraphim.html.

But the it’s weird, when I went back to /cherubim.html the page changed from a picture and an mp3 download to this:

image

And when I clicked on that I was taken to /firstsphere/thrones.html which looked like this:

image

When I clicked on THAT I was taken to /secondsphere/dominions.html and greeted to this disturbing image:

image

The last eye was apparently clickable which took me to /secondsphere/powers.html which looked like this:

image

the text on it reads:
“H.U.R.L

Hierarchy of Uniform Resource Locators”


??????????

So /dominions.html just changed to this:

image

and /powers.html changed to:

image

BUT since making this update, the file for the image is no longer there! So it looks like:

image

Clicking on the (now missing) picture, it takes you to /secondsphere/light1.html which looks like:

image

Clicking that takes you to /secondsphere/light2.html, whick looks like how /powers.html looks:

Clicking that takes you back to /secondsphere/light1.html, which has JUST NOW gotten worse:

Medieval Tactics Alive and Well

adobsonartworks:

I don’t remember where I saw this, but someone was talking about how there was this very common Medieval tactic that Kings would use to ingratiate themselves with the common folk…

STEP 1: Do something terrible that most people hate.

image

STEP 2: Have the queen or princess publicly protest the act.

image

STEP 3: The King would then say he’s had a change of heart because the queen/princess “moved them” with their words, and relinquish the terrible act.

image
image

STEP 4: This has the effect of making the King look kind/generous/empathetic, while opening them up to leverage and bargaining techniques.

image

So, like… This is happening RIGHT NOW… and I just wanna make sure nobody is fooled by it.

How to make a character’s death sadder

the-right-writing:

  1.  Don’t have them die of old age after a long, fulfilling life. Many people don’t even think of this as sad (note that this can still work if you have enough of the other factors).
  2.  Leave one of their major goals unfinished. The more enthusiastic they are about completing the goal, the sadder.
  3.  Give them strong relationships with other characters.
  4.  Make them fight against whatever is causing their death. Their ultimate loss is sadder if they struggle.
  5.  Kill them in the middle of their character arc.
  6.  Don’t describe their funeral in detail. Maybe it’s just me, but I find that long descriptions of funerals kill the sadness.

That’s enough Satan’s publisher…

>B)

7. If possible, try to kill them off in the middle of the story, so we had time to like them and we will have time to let the loss settle in.

8. Also, place surviving characters in a situation where having the deceased person there would help them get out. You can choose whether you will point this fact out or if you want the audience to make the connection themselves.

9. Make them die by sacrificing themselves to save someone they love from a danger created by the antagonist.

based on a few deaths that made me blub like a baby…

10. have their loved one, broken hearted, tell the team to stop fighting because “its over.” 

11. have their pet come looking for them. 

12. have their loved one perform a popular song at their funeral so it makes the fans cry whenever it’s played.

13. family witnessing the death and/or blaming themselves.

~ Mulan

so… let’s add some frustration to your dear readers’ sadness, shall we?

14. kill the character in the middle of making a joke, smiling, or expressing/experiencing joy/happiness.

15. make the character’s death slow and painful, but make them unable to call out for help even though they can literally see the other characters nearby.

16. after killing the character, have others think the character had betrayed them so they’d always hate them and remember them as traitors and never say nice things about them… Give your readers no chance to have group-therapy with other characters by making them the only ones who know the truth.

17. right before their death, show a side of them nobody has seen. (someone who is always tough and brave being genuinely scared of dying alone; someone who is always laughing being in tears before dying, etc.)

18. make them the only person who knows a big important secret that would help other characters in the story.

19. have them being lied to before dying. (thinking they’ve been betrayed; thinking they weren’t loved; thinking they’ve lost their loved ones, etc)

20. make the character very enthusiastic/passionate about a certain goal, constantly put stress on their goal, have them die unexpectedly before they can reach their goal. 

and the best one…

21. have another beloved character kill them–better be a close friend to your character, one that absolutely nobody suspects, one that everyone can’t help but love, one who is always enthusiastic about things and encourages your character. THEN

  • reveal the truth only later when it’s too late and the a-hole character has already escaped.
  • have a cowardly character know the truth and never tell anyone else
  • have another character find out the truth and have them die before revealing it to others. 
  • have the said character ^ not actually die, but go through something so they’d forget the friend of the deceased character is actually an asshole. 

This way only your readers will know the truth, thus the frustration would be… most enjoyable for you.

Satan out.

based off of the one character death that physically pains me to think about

23. Make the character a very loving and caring family person, whether it’s with their siblings or parents, their partner, or their children. Make them talk about how much their family means to them frequently. Kill them off before they could even say goodbye.

Bonus points if they have a very young child who means the world to them.

More bonus points if their family member kills them, or they believe their family member to have killed them.

THIS MAKES ME SO INSPIRED TO FINALLY KILL THE SINNAMON ROLL IN CRITICAL SURVIVAL

24. After their death show characters who helped them and who the readers believed were their allies or friends celebrate their death and make jokes of it.

25. And another for not killing their body: Have them come close to death and lose their memory, and after have them work/with for those they were fighting against and find a family there. Their past allies/friends are completely aware of this, except for the person who cared for them most who is drowning in despair believing that they’re dead.

Have you all been playing a bit too much Darkest Dungeon?

Here’s some gruesome suggestions for your more deadly prose.

Reblogging again, because people have added to the list.

OMG WHY DOES THIS POST EXIST

I think I have something better than 21:

26. Make a close friend or family member kill them but not be an asshole. An example of this could be someone killing a loved one painlessly because if they did’t that loved one would have been tortured and then killed.

27. Make your character “turn evil” some how (brainwashing, manipulation, etc), and then force one of their loved ones to kill them because they became a bad guy. Bonus points if the evil character was actually redeemable and could have been saved if the loved on who killed them had just given them more time.

This one actually seems to affect me the most:

28. Deaths that last a long time don’t always work (slow mo death scenes)… sometimes a death that is sudden, quick, and premature can be the most jarring. If it happens in the blink of an eye. If it happens so quickly that you’re mind can’t seem to process that it actually happened. Put the audience in denial.

29. Try perhaps not allowing a character to have a last word. Let the killing blow be fatal and final. Let all the characters that ever loved them forever dwell on what was left unsaid.

hmm…

;)

@avecpardonplaysminecraft

30. Make your character wholesome to the point where the other characters are annoyed. Like have him talk about how much he loves his wife and kid to the point where his friends ignore the call for help assuming he was just going to talk about his wife and kids again.
