Yeah, so I ran into a blog of a far left blogger that lives in Alaska. Seems to be one of those leftists that love the smell of his own farts from his writing, if you know what I mean: https://northierthanthou.com I checked his About and saw him claiming to be from Alaska, and it made me wonder how a far left wing dickhead ended up in Alaska, and it appears he lives in a town that seems to be rather bipartisan for a "Republican" state.
I've seen some posts in the right wing media sphere about Alaska being "reliably" Republican, but it seems a certain part of Alaska that was originally named "Barrow" had some nativist activist pushing to have it renamed back to its previous name.
So after over a hundred years of having it named "Barrow" for the British dude that occupied it for over 100 years, they renamed it to "Utqiagvik", and the idiot who advocated for it can't even speak the original language the old name is based off of.
Another thing from the article I picked up, that made me draw some parallels to the 2020 election "fraud" was this part at the very beginning:
The ordinance, which appeared on the October 4 ballot, originally failed in preliminary results. But it passed by 381 votes to 375 after absentee and question ballots were counted. A resolution adopting the name change was signed by Mayor Bob Harcharek on Monday, a day proclaimed as Indigenous Peoples Day by Governor Bill Walker.
This town seems to be Democrats, but considering there was a strong opposition to it, I find it interesting the margin was this narrow. You'd think all the Republicans in this town would kick up a huge fuss. Very convenient the "absentee" votes were found and the pro-Democrat resolution won.
Just some random NOTICING I did today. Just something I'm filing for the continual attack from social justice activists to undermine and dilute modern American (white) culture. I'm Korean by blood but born American and I'm fucking flabbergasted that a huge population of white people have brainwashed themselves into hating their own race and vote for stuff like this that undermines their own history. Propaganda sure is powerful ain't it.
JFK stole the election from Nixon back in 1960.
JFK only won thanks to fraud in Texas and the corrupt Daley Chicago machine in Illinois.
Democrats have always been cheating pieces of shit.
I am not surprised that they cheated here in Alaska for changing the name of a city.
Nice points but also never underestimate the apathy of Republicans even when it matters. The same attitudes that makes them want to leave and be left alone also keeps them from making real changes.
They are also powerless. Can you push vocally against something knowing that the media will treat you like the devil? We are at a point that if you gave 10$ to Kile Rittenhouse you get the media doxing you without any repercussions, or getting fired for saying all lives matter or making the ok sign.
The media is used as a weapon and Republicans have no shield, no defense.
apathy is natural, when your blocked at every turn from solving the problem instead of only being allowed to just manage the side effects.
Ah yes, a name nobody can remember how to spell or pronounce will be great for business.
"I know our towns name is Big Tuna Lake because of the amount of Tuna in the nearby lake we can sell, but what if we called our town: IllII1llI|l ?"
Not random enough name. Also it need to be written only with whitespace to ensure even the blind can read it.
Reminds me of a password.
Like Podesta’s password “password” (shakes fist in air) ‘damn you genius Russian hackers’
Or Hunter "2" Biden's password.
Must be Russian hackers too
imagine speaking a language of secure passwords.
Re: absentee votes, they always come in for Democraps, every.single.time.
Wait, "vik" is Norwegian for cove or bay. Is it a native word or is this appropriation of my language and culture.
"Vik" meaning "place" in Eskimo-Aleut languages and "vik" meaning "cove or bay" in Norse-derived languages seems unrelated. Kinda weird though.
Yeah, if it was renamed because there is some link between Alaska and Western Europe, ok, but it's something to do with the language of the local Eskimos over there.
The language is called "Iñupiaq" (read the second article I posted) - an Inuit language. Unrelated but I did find that "vik" part interesting.
Requiem for Frobisher Bay.
In fact, all of Nunavut says "hi".
Yeah I learned this like, 2 weeks ago when I was reading the tvtropes page for 30 days of night. Found my way there because the illustrator for that comic was the same guy who did the comic for Dead Space 1 (voiced movie of it here, worth a watch/listen)
The rename sounds Inuit. Takes some great historical revisionist balls to whine about colonization in that case :
The Inuit are not Native Americans. The Inuit merrily genocided their way through the American Arctic regions, killing and chasing away every N. A. they encountered.
There was zero genetic mixing.
They even managed to kick the Vikings out of Greenland. "Natives" seems to just mean "previous owners".
The Vikings likely encountered both the Inuit and the Dorset people in Greenland, before the Inuit killed every remaining one of those as they colonized Greenland from West to East.
There are far more sane people who are on the left than you think, at least on these issues. This is why it takes ceaseless propaganda to get them about 50% of the vote.
Eskimos are white people too
Not according to the census. On the race question, they tick "Native American or Alaska Native".

Post Approved: I don't see how.
"White" isn't a race.
So then you understand this because "asian" isn't a race either. I'm no more French than you are Japanese.
Looks like you upset a few people, possibly the Stormfag contingent.
By their logic, Black isn't a race either. And yet, that supergrouoing gets constant advocacy and free shit. You'd be a fool to not see the game being played and want to get in on it, because we tried to end the game in the 90s and early 00s, look how that turned out.
The only winning move might be to not play, but not playing isn't an option anymore
I feel kinda dumb for having ever engaged with these people. It's like chatting with someone on the bus and then watching them take off their pants and shit on the floor; you feel silly because you were treating a crazy person like a normal human being.
The wide accessibility and ease of the web has made it impossible to tell who is mentally ill or a child at first glance.
Suggesting to a group of Koreans or Japanese that asians are a race is a good way to get the shit kicked out of you by a bunch of squinting midgets.
There's nothing racist or white supremacist in strongly disagreeing with those statements. It is a cultural term. Plenty of people refer to the geographic supergroupings as race and do not consider ethnicity to be race.
Honestly calling yourself "of the Korean Race" would be kinda ethno-supremacist. I don't care, maybe that's old terminology that just sounds weird now.
I didn't mean that it was racist or white supremacist, or any of the other SJW buzzwords. I actually don't agree with him on that issue myself - I regularly refer to whites as a race. That said, I do think that the people who are going to be violently angered by that are likely to be Stormfags, hence my comment.
Let 'em be angry. I'm just glad I'm not related to those baguette sucking surrender frogs.
FYI, I do not like France. I've never liked France. You can go all the way back to my original Piroko account on reddit from GG and even there, I didn't like France. I don't like them because they're the principle cause of most of everything that went wrong in the 20th century. It was French weakness that precipitated WW2. It was France's weakness that precipitated WW1 (specifically their alliance with Russia which prompted the Germans to choose to invade France to knock them out fast to then focus on the Russians). It was French intellectuals that created post modernism. It was French intellectuals that did all the shit they did in the revolution. France... is a shitty country that frankly should not be allowed to govern itself because it's been repeatedly shown over the last two thousand years to be INCAPABLE of governing itself. How crap do you have to be for the POPE to conquer your country.
When do you suppose that happened?
1314 to 1377
Yes, I know the Avignon Papacy started in 1309. Yes, I know that it was Philip IV that strongarmed the Church into accepting Clement V.
But here's where it gets complicated. Philip IV and Clement V both died in 1314 and from then on the power balance shifted. Pope John XXII sat for almost 20 years, while the monarchy went completely to shit.
Louis X only lasted two years and died. it's suspected that his wine was poisoned.
John I was born and then reigned for a total of five days.
Philip V lasted five years during which the Normans revolted and went on a series of angry murder sprees, probably directed by the church cuz Jews were the main target.
Charles IV reigned for six years, had even more revolts, and despite the pope BEING French and his guest, and both he and Philip V before him being ardent supporters of the crusades, he still got rejected to be Holy Roman Emperor.
Philip VI lasted for quite a while but accomplished nothing. The English crushed his navy at Sluys, his army at Crecy, and then the Black Death showed up and killed half the country.
IMO... John XXII ruled France, and his successors ruled over the ashes of France until Gregory X decided to just leave.
So during half of the Hundred Years War, France was 'ruled' by the papacy?
The monarchy of France was always 'shit', in that France had experienced an extreme devolution of power since the late 9th century. The monarch did not exercise complete control over the whole of France, but the Pope sure as hell did not, even though he resided in what is today France.
If the popes were ruling France, they sure as hell would not have left for the pittance that were the Papal States (in comparison), notwithstanding the chevauchees.
The irony is that the universal view is that the French were controlling the Avignon Papacy, not vice versa. That certainly seems to be more likely than your claims.
It comes down to a single question.
Who killed Louis X?
I believe it was John XXII.
I don't know that name. Is he one of the monarchs between 1314 and 1328 that no one cares about?
