Step 1. Throw rock through your own window.
Step 2. Schvitz about it.
Step 3. Montana is now Israeli clay.

Interesting.
Montanans put menorahs or print outs of menorahs in their windows in solidarity. It is baffling and a bit sad.
Easter eggs it is then.
This is what happens when a state is populated by survivalists and christian zionists
and those two categories aren't mutually exclusive (quite the opposite really)
It wouldnt be an issue if the painted rocks were collected afterward but it may give them the idea especially since they are already inclined to do fake broken glass myths.
Actually, I'm rather surprised Montana's fertility rate isn't higher
Its definitely something I hadn't thought about and will consider moving forward.
Maybe making them for ourselves and keeping them is a safer option.
It's too bad, I was really considering leaving them all over colleges.
Easy to make and I've got nearly 6 gallons of teal paint.
@Salo Saloson it seems pretty high in a lot of places. If Yellowstone blew up and the machines took over, Montana would go on ticking for a long time because of the way people are self-reliant. Our landlord, for example, owns his own business, has 8 children, a barn, a workshop, leads church and other groups, and his whole extended family on both sides lives next door to him. It is like a little Mormon empire.
that's pretty cool
a lot of my extended family lives in one street
haven't seen them in years
wonder what they're up to now
Anyone happen to read this/know if it's any good?
@Jason - CT No, but it sounds interesting. Clearly pro nationstate/anti-globalist. Don't know if you'll find anything new in there, or if it's old news
It's by an Israeli political writer
From the introduction, the guy is framing it as a "nationalism v. imperialism" argument which... is already a bad way to frame things
but hey, you could just find a site to download the book without paying for it
is it?
most people don't like imperialism
@Jason - CT It could help you provide arguments against globalisation from an israeli perspective. Help you to argue with zionists/civnats i mean
makes us sound like good guys
"imperialism" as people tend to use it doesn't happen very often these days
it's not like American gunboats are sailing down the Amazon to get better deals on... whatever
@Salo Saloson True, we have this "quiet" takeover where all the nations are merging together
Peaceful takeovers are always more effective than violent ones
the mass homogenization of everything is quite a bit different from the British Empire (not that either was _good_ but one is at least preferable)
esp. the way that guy uses it, it makes the imperialism angle weirder, because he's arguing in favor of national sovereignty
but it isn't a sovereignty question, not really, it's a question of does your nation have a soul and should it be allowed to keep whatever soul it's got
isn't it accurate to say that imperialism is generally in opposition to nationalism, though?
if you're the guy getting imperialized, sure
but for the imperializer it's their nationalism too
@Jacob I get where you're coming from, so...maybe. BUt like salosaloson says, it's not in opposition to the nation LEADING the empire
not necessarily anyway
I also think it's kind of silly to look at Brexit and say, "UK went nationalist, it's all over!"
ignoring the huge pro-EU sentiment in the country
same with Trump's election, wherein everyone goes, "America's going FULL NATIONALIST"
yeah. full _civic_ nationalist
