reminder that when they liberated Paris De Gaulle decided that the actual French colonial troops that had beaten the Nazis weren't white enough and swapped them out for members of the French Resistance and other predominantly white formations for the propoganda reels.

Not for nothing but that's also the reason why the US action in Italy doesn't get nearly as much play as the action in France and elsewhere - because they'd have to show the black and Japanese-American units if they made a movie about that part of the war.

I’m basing this entirely on vibes, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there was some pressure from the US military to whitewash the French liberating forces. Not to give De Gaulle a pass, but it’s a move that’s got “Amerikkka” written all over it.

adam curtis said this thing about how generative AI is the ghost of our time, because it goes back and scrapes the available media fragments of our past and stitches them together, in a cubist form, and feeds it back to us. remixed/reverbed fragmentary echos of our images, music, emotions, language being presented to us as if it were new, keeping us stuck in the past.

i bring this up, because these reactionary culture war militants haunt themselves with the same premise. the idea that their perception of history is skewed by the prejudices and bigotry of the institutions which gatekept culture and storytelling for decades is completely out of bounds. anything that doesn't fit what they've seen up to this point has to fabricated, in service to an agenda that doesn't center their experiences, perceptions, and values.

of course, none of them are serious archivists or historians, so their minds are full of mutilated thought fragments and unexamined notions about what the world was/is, that they have bundled together under some incoherent frame that gives them license to feel angry or betrayed. absolutely nothing can be allowed in unless it reifies something already there.

One of the most badass battalions from the war was the 761st (Blank Panthers). Very telling the chuds don't know shit about their own army that they fetishize.
