Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Well, at least they ditched he swastikas for the LGBTQXYZ flag.
Would make a pretty good Warhammer 40k paint scheme, tbh.
And considering how the Nazis felt about Homosexuals…their costumes are questionable on several levels.
This would make P. T. Barnum’s freak show look subdued.
the magic word is “cosplay” – I’d throw in “return of the repressed” but that’s stretching the point…
Japanese (pop culture) seems to be a current locus; see this Jerusalem Post piece

What? You were expecting The New York Times?
I found myself trying to explain to someone awhile back how the deviant/offbeat/quirky/taboo was a lot more ‘fun’ when it wasn’t mainstream and common. If ida’ had that picture I probably could have explained it more quickly. It used to be that you had to go to a bad part of town to indulge some fancies – as well it should be.
It’s like some biker (talking about Rich Urban Bikers) I recall saying – “When you get to a point where there’s no possible way you can make yourself presentable for work on Monday, THEN you’re one of us!
