  The value of a negatively-oriented racial identity is rapid threat detection.

  The value of a positively-oriented racial identity is imperviousness to enemy defamation.

  jews are really rattled by these kinds of memes. They especially recoil at the "will you believe what jews said about your ancestors, or what your ancestors said about jews" meme.

  I think I know why. It's because these messages are inherently ethnocentric....for White people. This scares jews, because they understand better than anyone the power of in-group affinity.

  jews recoil at these memes because they are a perfect reflection of the jews' own attitudes towards Whites.

  If this happens often enough, it will eventually eat into the company's bottom line.

  Sufficient cost impacts on Flock would threaten its solvency.

  If cost is no matter and the Flock cameras keep going up, then we'll know that the decision is not driven by profit interests, but by a totalitarian political interest to subjugate White Americans.

  True, I've wondered about that as well. The technique evident in this 13th Century illustration is comically juvenile. Why was so much Medieval art so bad?

  Turns out there are many answers to that question.

  One, most Medievel Europeans were simply bad artists, just like most people today are bad artists. A lot of the lowbrow and middlebrow graphic illustrations drawn back then were done by random joes, who felt the spirit, but not the painter's brush, move them. There were talented Medieval painters but their works were less common and usually hanging in some rich aristocrat's castle.

  Two, the rules of perspective didn't get formally established until the early 15th Century in Italy. Untrained amateur painters and illustrators before that time would not have been acquainted with proper rendering techniques.

  Three, there is a lot of great Medieval art, but it was usually found in decorative works like book bindings or music boxes, not so much in painting.

  Four, it is possible that Europeans lost a lot of Greco-Roman realistic painting techniques after the fall of Rome.

  Five, there is a theory that Medieval Europeans held the belief that realistic paintings using perspective were "an affront to God", becaue it hubristically mimicked God's creation. This is a controversial theory, though, because realistic paintings were created during that time.

  If they had MBA-credentialed management consultants in 1850, this house would never have been built to those specs.
