Comment on Racist Dress (2008-04-29 11:06:42)
Hmm. Without knowing whose faces those are depicted in other parts of the skirt, I'm not sure we're looking at what we think we're looking at. I see a lot of Catholic iconography here -- a rosary, and medieval cruciform shapes -- so it's possible the dress is a political comment on the rapacious nature of Catholicism, particularly in Latin American nations. It's certainly striking, but to call it "racist" is itself a bit of a racist declaration, or at least arrogant and ignorant. Without more information, we're just jumping to conclusions about the meaning of the images.

Huh. Doesn't say anything about not boning the students. Looks like some traditions never change.

Oooo. Purdy. Punched up by tweaking the tail ends of the channels in LAB curves, I bet, but still. Purdy.

How do you know he's sad? Maybe he's just in cuddly mood.

Huh. This looks like every "control console" from every "alien" spaceship encountered throughout the entire series run of Space: 1999.

phyreblade:
is this Kunz Meyer-Waldeck character like a German Norman Rockwell or what?
Superficially he was, though he was originally of Latvian ancestry. Apparently Der Führer wasn't going to be too picky as long as his artists managed to capture him in epic profile. Meyer-Waldeck appears to have left quite a Google of cut leaded glass collectibles in his wake, but his most sought after pieces include virtually unknown works such as Himmelraffensplatzen, An der Berkäring von der Kannon mit Blut und Ehre, and of course the signal piece, Der Führer Redet an den Judensblut.* Many biographers** have noted that Meyer-Waldeck's own artistic career seems to parallel that of his most ignominious subject, in the sense that his work was often insipid, rarely inspired, and generally poor; but of course his failure as a Künstler didn't lead to a world war; it just chronicled it. ==== * Respectively, The Glorious Gutting of the Cowardly English Appeasers; Blowing Up The Fucking World; and Hitler Rapes a Boy. Apparently the last title loses something in translation. ** None, actually, as far as I can determine.

Wow. Wow, mAgnUS, you sure showed me. Since it was only three million murdered, according to your information (which you don't cite), I guess Hitler gets a free pass. I don't think anyone said Hitler was in it "for kicks" either, but what precisely do you think was so "necessary" to his plans that he ordered the killing of 3, 6 or 10 million people? And gee, too bad you felt "lied to" about what a "dick" Hitler was. But I don't owe you an apology for condemning him, and neither do billions of other humans with whom you share the planet. Sorry if that idea makes you feel all oogy -- I mean gee, how hideous it must be for you to imagine non-white, non-blond Jewish and gypsy and gay others sharing this same globe with you, making it dirty with their miscegenation and their choleric water and poverty and such and all of them just hating poor old misunderstood Hitler -- but this is the world that knows the facts about the Nazis, and whether you like it or not, history is not always written by the victors; sometimes it's written by those with superior perspectives. Sometimes it's written by the people who actually suffered the reality. And reality wins. Every time. I probably know at least a much a you do about WWII, since neither of us were in it, so your suggestion that I'm some kind of outsider with inhibited knowledge is, at best, stupid. Since you failed to cite your sources (apart from hearsay), I'm assuming you're arguing from opinion, not established fact, and until you can prove otherwise there is no reason for me or anyone else to buy your tripe.

mAgnUS BUTTfoorson, are you suggesting Hitler got a raw deal from history? What part of the record rankles? The hidden buildup of armed forces in direct violation of treaty? The terror bombing of England with V1s and plans to build ICBMs via V2s? The Warsaw ghettos? Or the systematic and deliberate murder of 6 to 10 million or so humans in "work" camps? Yeah. Too goddamn bad no one wanted his fucking watercolors, huh? Shit, when van Gogh was misunderstood, he didn't initiate a massive internecine European war that dragged on for nearly a decade and ended up involving every continent except Antarctica. He just cut off his ear. Maybe if Hitler had shaved off his mustache, put it in a box and mailed it to a prostitute, history would have been kinder to him, but he didn't do that, now did he?

A show that, like Firefly, deserved more respect, should have gone on longer, but at least managed to finish its original story arc. Unlike, alas, Firefly.
