For some strange reason I had to go back and edit this one for an "image not found" thing right at the beginning of the entry.. Apologies for this.

Are you following the 'UK may introduce conscription' story?

Nice photos. Good subjects with good composition, they are evocative.

The best one is the mural of Daniele Geniale, because it also has narrative. All the great photographs are essentially propaganda. The mural photo is technically the worst photo, but the narrative of the partisan hero atop the discarded trash bags, tells a powerful story making it the strongest image.

I enjoyed the photos, the photo of the tree was spectacular

In regards to UK setting the stage for conscription, check out Sen Dick Durban’s Senate speech. He is offering all the military age illegal aliens American citizenship if they enlist to be willing to sacrifice their lives for the offer of such a prize

Thanks again

A Requiem for the post national nation, Canada, by Gloomy Gus.

Canada has swamped itself with new immigrants. Those immigrants are desperate to get a toe hold in their new home. They want money and that which money buys. It is the “promise” of a material life that got them on the plane that brought them crossed the ocean and away from everything they know. I say promise, because Canada has pedaled a lie to them but, they are catching on.

Hoards of people, so, so many, all in competition, scrambling, ambitious and striving, their adoptive home, Toronto, self declared centre of the universe, positively vibrates with the competition. But there is no way that many can be absorbed. Tim Hortons is simply not their dream job.

So, they have begun to move, everywhere and as pertains the destruction of Canada, they are beginning to hit Quebec. The Québécois see it, Quebec separatists are sounding the alarm bells and the people of Quebec are moving to the realization that this threat is existential.

Look at a map, there is no Canada without Quebec. You’ve heard it here first, a third referendum, this time yes wins, Quebec leaves the confederation and then cascading failure for Canada: 2035-ish.

Gloomy as promised.

I don’t understand art so those photographs look like they were done by an artist. I couldn’t tell the difference.

Also, are you going to cover the Civil War that happened? Two old men both of whom can’t walk, are supposedly getting ready to raise troops and fight it out in the Rio Grande. Shit’s crazy

Niccolo, great photos. One question. The giant tree under which the old men sit...is that a fig tree of some kind? It certainly looks like a tropical or sub-tropical fig species.

You live in a fascinating part of the world. Always good to see new views of it.

I’ll show some of these photos and the Rome ones in class this week (this is your reminder I guess lol) and let you know the reaction.

There’s something special about telling students I got class content from an actual person, not just some Google search.
