Own comment

I am reminded of Joseph Haydn.

He went to the Viennese Choir boys. He was such a sweet boy soprano.

One man offered to preserve his good voice forever. He went home and told his daddy, who obviously wanted nothing of it.

Thanks Mathias Haydn, we appreciate it!

Well, seems that back in Holy Roman Empire such things were not just theoretically illegal, but could in practise be sued if daddy didn't agree!

Abusing the N-Word (Also featuring Slovenians and Austrofascism)

No, not the one relating to black people. I mean the one relating to certain white supremacists.

Hans-Georg Lundahl

You know, Austrofascism was not always totally congenial with Slovenians.

Some villages which had voted Austria over SHS Kraljevina were not allowed to have street signs in Slovenian as well as German.

Sad, I prefer the solution Mannerheim had between Swedish and Finnish in Finland.

But apart from that, I am an Austrofascist. Do you know what I have been called on FB?

Guess ...

OK, you can look now:

HGL's F.B. writings : I am NOT a National Socialist, But Some Take me For That
http://hglsfbwritings.blogspot.fr/2017/09/i-am-not-national-socialist-but-some.html

After Anschluss, Schuschnigg was soon in house arrest and during war he was in Dachau.

So, me liking Kurt von Schuschnigg (same politician the von Trapp Family Singers would have voted) makes me a National Socialist exactly how?

That said, I do think I owe them the respect to more often say National Socialist than Nazi, since in Sweden they have been doing some good work over free speech.

Speaking of throwing a fit ...

If you think about it logically.. Slovenians were living on Austrian land at least 200-300 years longer then german speakers did, so why wouldn't they have the right to speak their own language and practice their ancestral culture?

Hans-Georg Lundahl

I don't know if you happen to know of one Woodrow Wilson.

He had the idea to dismantle German and even more Austro-Hungarian Empire after national borders.

His problem was, nations overlapped. His asset was, he was among those winning WW-I.

His proposed solution, which was carried out, was, along nation borders referenda were held, and some Slovenians voted rather Austria than Kraljevina.

It would, as I have already said, have been better if everyone had the right to use their own language as in Austro-Hungarian times.

But German was more persecuted in Sudets than Slovenian ever was under Austrofascism. I don't know the status of German in the Kraljevina, but I guess it was low.

Kristjan Matelic

I think people were voting to remain under Austrian rule or go under Serbian rule... not really to join Slovenian state that did not exist in any shape or form at the time. I'm also sure church played a crucial role with a propaganda against orthodox Serbs... After the wars Slavs didn't want to be associated with Germans and I know somebody whose grandfather changed their surname from Weber to Veber, so it would not apear German, but after Yugoslavia breakup her father would change it back to Weber and I think that is great.. Respect to all our forefathers.

Hans-Georg Lundahl

I agree.

Kristjan Matelic, I hope you don't mind this was reblogged:

Hans-Georg Lundahl

I can relate.

I write more often in French than in Swedish, and more often in English than in French.

And German even less often than Swedish, though both are my childhood languages.

I'll try to get where I can hear the Slovenian, now I have read the subtitles, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow.

I'll have to take another place, the sound and image quality are low on this library.

... and some minor quibbles about "islamophobia is not a word" video

"Islamophobia" is a non-word!

0:47 "islam is not a race"

OK. But prejudice need not be racist. It can be:

• racist
• sexist
• ageist
• ethnicist (even micro-ethnicist)
• AND religionist
• and professionist
• and classist.

Example : "while Marxism per definition involves a classist prejudice against capitalists, there are capitalists who themselves have classist prejudices against marginals".

Such a prejudice could for instance involve one Marxist Swede from Stockholm having a prejudice against one entrepreneur from Stockholm because the entrepreneur is a capitalist, while this entrepreneur has a prejudice against a bum who is also a Swede in Stockholm, who has a prejudice against policemen. The prejudice against entrepreneur and bum would be classist, the prejudice against policemen perhaps professionist.

So, prejudice need not be racist.

If you were going to enumerate types of prejudice, just beginning with race (I'm just starting with the video), your list of types of prejudice would be incomplete without religionist prejudice, which would include islamophobia.

And if you were going to say "islamophobia is not racist", I agree, but that was not the title of your video.

You could of course also argue that a word ending in -phobia is too strong a term for a prejudiced aversion unless it is very strong, but that was not where your dictionary quote was leading either.

Feminist attitudes to Islam ...

One decade they criticise Catholic ethics and invoke the argument "that is basically like Islam" as a refutation, like "=we can't have that".

A few decades later, they defend Islam.

I'd defend a woman's right to wear a burqah if she claims it is her choice, but if she says her husband forced her, I think he should go to prison. Or both be thrown out, rather.

4:25 - that is actually a hijab, not a burqah.

Under the late Shah, women in Iran wore hijab, usually, but were not forced to. Burqah's became a thing under Ayatollah, and they do cover mouth and nose and forehead, only eyes showing, if even as much.

4:46 Would you mind also linking to what happened about a girl in Vienna?

I mean, Vienna used to be proud of having chased the Turks, that could have attracted some of the worst Muslims to my natal city. And I'd give cities like Vienna and Nizza and such which have many Pieds-Noirs chased from Algeria in 1962 the right to fine for wearing burqah, no problem. They have been traumatised.

If there were such a thing as islamophobia, they would have a right to it. Like a Nam veteran to PTSS.

7:30 Btw, since I have had a common cause with Muslims against Swedish feminism (I am a Swede, but I am no fan of Danish or Norwegian feminists either, nor of La Clinton), I have at least starting preferred a polite criticism.

Like "if Mohammed could be sure it was Jibreel, why could not Joseph Smith be sure it was Moroni?"

If a Muslim calls that Islamophobic, how is he not Mormonophobic?

[at last:]

I tried to give the video a thumbs up twice, but instead of making two thumbs up, the thumbs up disappeared, so I gave it a third thumbs up!
