Zopotantor posted:the original fascists were Italians, and they took their name from the fasces (bundles of sticks for bashing people with, with an axe thrown in for beheadings) carried by the lictores, the bodyguards of certain public officials. i thought about pointing out the association earlier. colonial-era culture was in a big ancient rome phase (to some degree, eventually shifting to the victorian era with the inclusion of ancient egypt), so borrowed symbology is all over early u.s. sculpture and architecture. it's not exactly unexpected, considering all the olive branch clutching eagles, obelisks, and the marbled buildings of d.c. I'm sure there's little neofascists cleverly posting fasces somewhere. I'd be more concerned about modern use of it vs centuries-old use. same goes for pretty much any roman empire imagery, now, which isn't exactly subtle for fashy types

hello fellow shopper. i see you have a packet of kellogg's frosties in your basket. perhaps you did not know this, but infamous twitter neo nazi @FrostyBelsen posted a video last week of himself eating frosties with piss and reading jane austen. both of those things are now of course forbidden to the rest of us, under the Laws of the Internet, lest we be perceived to ally ourselves with old frosty balls and his reactionary claque.

fascination with the Roman Empire was hardly unique to the Nazis aside from the Holy Roman Empire, both the Ottoman and Russian empires had periods where the emperors also considered themselves to be "Emperor of Rome". there was some overlap between these periods, and the rivalries and dickwaving between these various self-proclaimed Romans could be utterly amazing my personal favorite anecdote is when, Suleiman the Magnificent had a massive four-tier crown-hat made for the express purpose of having a bigger hat than the pope there's definitely plenty of white nationalists adopting Roman iconography these days tho

~the metaverse~ being a second second life in the way it's talked about doesn't even work because sl is way more expressive and accepting of people and niche cultures than the techbro/nft world rp1 is a good analogy because it stars a white male character who makes the best Agile Vector fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Jan 12, 2022 |

Midjack posted:nfts invade old tabletop games update to this: ks told this idiot to gently caress off with his blockchain poo poo and he's sulky about it. quote:Kickstarter assures me they have a policy barring associations between backer rewards and anything related to a blockchain or NFTs. I couldn't find any mention about it on their site or elsewhere online, but I've been assured they are quite serious. apparently he can still sell them through backerkit, it's just that making them part of a pledge level is where kickstarter cries foul.

they keep referencing "jpgs" but then the thing they're actually talking about is a "utility nft" which is presumably some game-object data encoded into the nft itself there's no reason for it to be an nft rather than an item in a database hosted by the game creators, but whatever, "interoperability is key", you know so i can take my fortnite gun into rome total war or something
