Ah, good, that does make sense.

It can be long and slow. It would be nice for me to guess something correctly, just the once.

Well, all that armor and weapons helped. Dothraki to-do list: send some scouts up and down the river. Horses are an excellent form of transportation over rough terrain in situations like this.

Racism equals being able to manufacture difference, often out of nothing. Hitler killed mostly other White people and thought that White Eastern Europeans were inferior and had to be exterminated; does that make it not racism? It does not have to be rational or have a pseudo-biological basis. I am still waiting…

Does anyone else think that Cersei's extra bit of seemingly unearned confidence is that the arrow shot into the dragon was poison? She had just finished a conversation with Qyburn about something. If you have book-related knowledge, please no spoilers.

You can read their actions plausibly. You do not have to have a formal classification of all the people of the planet before your recognize otherness to use to your own advantage, even if you also are a dick to your own people on different grounds (they were poor, etc.). What morphed into a formal classification…

I was going more broadly than the film, yes. I suppose that anyone can latch onto the Spartans like a blank canvas and paint what they want there just to link to their notoriety.

Seeing someone as sellable, you are seeing them as other than you, however their terminology differed. Do you really think that they did not notice broad physical differences and have an opinion about it?

I do love that his land got turned into Arlington National Cemetery.

Also, just to toss this in, the majority of serial killers.

Ask them to find Germany on a map.

That almost beats the watch monolog from Pulp Fiction.

Avoid the "History of Violence" column for this week.

Made in China, I am guessing?

So, invading Spaniards in the New World, earliest slavers in Africa, etc. did not see themselves as racially superior, even though they had not come up with modern definitions of it?

Their abs were the issue.

I wonder then why fascist states take such pains to link themselves through continuity of thought or contrived direct lineage to militaristic states of the past. There must be something there, by their own world-building, that they see in common.

Yeah, but that kid does not seem to have much of an attention span.

This is a gateway fascism film. You'll be shooting up in back alleys in no time.

Well, you know, this season's opener of The Walking Dead.
