  • Btw, that issue is a bit weird, because my long-standing (and rather obvious) view is that US conservatives are economically lax but socially repressive, while dems are the other way around — both corresponding to collectivist tendencies, but in different areas. Well, guns don’t strictly fall into any one of those approaches, since you can’t really allow having guns just for one’s own enjoyment in the privacy of their home or at the nearest shooting range. Conservatives should forbid guns based on their restriction of individual expression, while dems should forbid guns according to the view that not everything that can be bought is beneficial toward other people. Or vice versa, conservatives allow guns based on economic laissez-faire, while dems allow them based on an individual’s freedom to do as they wish with their own life.



  • Hitler personally disliked Fraktur and gave a speech against it in 1934. It continued to be used as ‘the true German script’ until 1941, when the party did a 180 and banned it under the pretext that it wasn’t Fraktur, but Schwabacher, a similar blackletter script, which they called ‘Jewish letters’.

    Moreover, it was banned so hard that cursive scripts Kurrent and Sütterlin were forbidden as well. As a result, people educated after 1941 often couldn’t read handwritten letters and notes of their ancestors.
