I've never tried my hand at 3D stuff before, and this looked fun. Carved out of basswood.
Here's the tutorial I used if anyone else wants to get started.
Well I've had to deal with them my whole life, so you should too.
Liberals always seem to be the first to ally with fascists against the left.
This was my original claim, which I really meant to apply to fascists taking over within a society: it seems to be universally true that when this occurs it's because the liberal governments acquiesce to fascist creep because they're seen as a useful tool against the left.
I did enjoy discussing the wider context of this, but it's not really what I meant; I was emphasizing the first in the sentence.
What a simplistic world view for a simplistic mind.
You have no idea what fascism is. You're a puppet for reactionaries and you don't even know it.
It'd be sad if you weren't so loathsome all on your own.
Hitler's activities within Germany at his arrest were those of a street agitator akin to someone like Enrique Tario. The liberals in government liked that the fascist movement was wrecking the socialists in the streets and taking their rhetoric and twisting it towards right-wing projects.
Hitler didn't get his minimal punishment to avoid a war.
And the Allies joined the war because they realized it would be devastating to their empires if they let the Axis take whatever they wanted.
Call your pharmacist. They're an expert in the field, and it is their job to give you advice on your medications. You've already paid for this service, even as an American.
That's because your pseudohistorical nonsense is bunk.
Fascism isn't just when an authority goes outside the bounds of the law. It's a very specific reactionary ideology that harkens back to a mythical past and directs blame for imperial failures at minority populations within their control.
Nothing about that describes anything about Abraham Lincoln's ideology or behavior.
In fact, it makes you look ridiculous and like you don't know anything about reactionary ideology at all. It's actually pretty funny if you think about it.
Sure, eventually. And then only because their liberal order was directly attacked by fascism.
But who capitulated within Germany? The liberal (small l) government gave Hitler a slap on the wrist, because they were more worried about socialists.
Appreciate the input, this is actually a great discussion point.
You have no idea what actual fascism is.
Ending slavery for four million people is in no way fascism. The fact that this confuses you so much is predictable, because the anti-intellectual ragebait that you listen to preaches that fascism is a leftist movement.
But I guess you believe that "work makes you free," huh?
Thanks for playing along, I couldn't have asked for a better demonstration of the vacuousness of reactionary "thought."
Nope, it doesn't piss me off that reactionaries get what is coming to them: if you abandon the social contract you shouldn't get the protection that it provides.
The only good fascist is a dead fascist. Leave it to a reactionary to get it exactly backwards.
I'm sure you would have been among those who thought ending slavery no matter the cost was too radical.
Your surface-level understanding is, as usual, adorable.
Yeah, telling your superior to obey obvious ethical standards undermines their authority.
How dare he expect the highest court in the country abide by the same standards as the rest of the judiciary; doesn't he know who they are??
Is it outdated (other than the "Siamese" description of conjoined twins)?
Liberals always seem to be the first to ally with fascists against the left.
Edit: I'd love a counterexample from any downvoter. All that tells me is that y'all don't know your history. Liberals capitulate because they're comfortable in their bourgeois status and don't want to risk their financial stability for minority rights. Prove me wrong.
Pope Paul III and His Grandsons is an oil on canvas painting by Titian, housed in the Museo di Capodimonte, Naples. It was commissioned by the Farnese family and painted during Titian's visit to Rome between autumn 1545 and June 1546. It depicts the scabrous relationship between Pope Paul III and his grandsons, Ottavio and Alessandro Farnese. Ottavio is shown in the act of kneeling, to his left; Alessandro, wearing a cardinal's dress, stands behind him to his right. The painting explores the effects of ageing and the manoeuvring behind succession; Paul was at the time in his late seventies and ruling in an uncertain political climate as Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor came into ascendancy.
Paul III was the last of the popes appointed by the ruling Medici family of Florence. He was socially ambitious, a careerist and not particularly pious. He kept a concubine, fathered four children out of wedlock and viewed the throne as an opportunity to fill his coffers while he placed his relatives in high positions. A talented and cunning political operator, Paul was precisely the sort of man the Florentines needed to assist them in their defence against French and Spanish threats.
A sackbut is an early form of the trombone used during the Renaissance and Baroque eras. A sackbut has the characteristic telescopic slide of a trombone, used to vary the length of the tube to change pitch, but is distinct from later trombones by its smaller, more cylindrically-proportioned bore, and its less-flared bell. Unlike the earlier slide trumpet from which it evolved, the sackbut possesses a U-shaped slide with two parallel sliding tubes, rather than just one.
Annibale Carracci was an Italian painter and instructor, active in Bologna and later in Rome. Along with his brother and cousin, Annibale was one of the progenitors, if not founders of a leading strand of the Baroque style, borrowing from styles from both north and south of their native city, and aspiring for a return to classical monumentality, but adding a more vital dynamism. Painters working under Annibale at the gallery of the Palazzo Farnese would be highly influential in Roman painting for decades.
I think they've been watching too much porn.
