The merch seller, venue staff, and the rest of the crew deserve at least as much if not more money than the band, and I say that as a musician. Besides which, the band will be taking the lion's share of the profit from the merch sales themselves (unless the venue or label are saying that they want a cut of merch sales, and some do).

The tweet they're using as evidence has added as context "the Saudi government has made no such statement" but that one official has said that talks are on hold for now

Apparently 6 Hezbollah fighters have been killed by Israeli shelling, and they're now gathering near the Golan Heights

Looks like a Jackdaw. Which is still a type of Crow, but it's good to be specific.

Balkans would be interesting. Some Mujahideen fighters were actually sent there by the US to stir up trouble, but they were stabbed in the back and forced to either return to their countries of origin or be arrested. I've heard (though unfortunately, I can't for the life of me think where) that this was one of the real reasons for 9/11 - Bin Laden was pissed off that the CIA fucked him and his friends over.

I think expat communities have something to do with it. I was listening to a podcast about modern reactionaries and nazis the other day, and they did an episode about Slavic Native Faith. The Ukrainian brand was started by a Ukrainian, but took off in the States long before it gained a foothold in the motherland.

half the time it seems like their video's only source is a half-skimmed wikipedia page.

Funny you should mention that, because they actually used a Ukrainian wiki page as a source in that video lmao

Tbf this is actually a good example to point to of how consensus is reached on Hexbear, for all the people who think we're bots or paid shills. And anyway, even when a consensus is reached, it won't stop you from using the term in real life if the mods decide to add it to the filter. I don't really have a problem with it, tbh.

Fun fact: Hungary has the northernmost Islamic pilgramage site in the world, Gül Baba's tomb, and in Eger there is one of the northernmost European minarets. The Hungarians also inhereted lots of Turkish Baths from the Ottomans (Fürdőszóba in Hungarian, I think).

He probably shoved his head into their den to see if they had pups or something. Seems like the kind of daft fucking thing a squaddie would do
