71·4 小时前Jesus Christ.
5·18 小时前I also imagine there would be records from more patriarchal European writers if warrior women were seen with any regularity.
The Byzantines of the period noted, with surprise, that many of the warriors were women after the Byzantines won a battle and began stripping the Norse dead of their armor.
6·20 小时前“Can you see anything in front of you?”
“No!”
“Alright, we’re ready to taxi!”

What a remarkably specific comparison to make, and yet, I see it
You would be correct! While this particular innovation of pre-forming pieces to be broken is not directly connected, breaking bread at a table was a common method of dividing up full loaves of bread for consumption, and eating at someone else’s table was considered an exceptionally friendly form of socialization. You wouldn’t just invite anyone into your house and to eat your food unless you thought they were at least okay folks!
It is the reality, though. Much of consumption is in the lower and middle class; luxury goods make up a smaller proportion of the economy, including the parts of the economy which are controlled by capitalist elites.
As consumption in the lower and middle class dips, the accumulation of wealth in the upper class does not fully replace the consumption of the lower and middle class. The supply and demand curves are vastly different for the goods being purchased and consumed by the upper class, and the elasticity of demand is much greater.
Put another way, a rich man buying a 10k bottle of whiskey every week will not replace the ~1,000 workers who cannot buy their weekly 100$ bottle of whiskey because of the increased wealth extraction from the working class. The rich man is already drinking as much whiskey, and as fine a whiskey, as he wishes to; more disposable income will not increase his consumption the way it will increase the consumption of the now-more-impoverished working class folk.
Antifa supersoldiers!

A nervous smile, I think, of the kind you get when you end up in a slightly surprising and embarrassing situation.
Honestly, he’s probably some dumb fucking kid who thought he could join the new party with the fancy uniforms and feel tough. Probably was assigned to this store thinking “Ah, one of The Jews™, a weak and cowardly bunch! I can’t wait to be intimidating!”
And then a combat vet comes out with his decorations and says, by his stance and his expression, “I’ve killed much better men than you, boy. You’ll have to try harder than that.”
And the Nazi kid’s thinking at the moment, thus, ends up as something like, “Wow, lmao, I guess this is more than I was thinking it would be??”
Doubt it changed the kid’s Nazi convictions. But he was probably less sanguine about the universal ‘weakness’ of Jews in the future.
Clumsy bunch in Pompeii
Easy to tear off! It was a convenience, like sliced bread in the modern day!

Richard Stern would later go on to fight in WW2 for the US against the Nazi regime, and once more be decorated for valor.
