You can't learn from the mistakes you sweep under the rug.


Why do you think that human beings are doomed to repeat their mistakes over and over and over and over and over and over and over again?


This is a perfect illustration of why.


So fuck your book burning, Nazi.

6ix, Gone with the Wind will always be available for poor little you. And to accuse Democrats of "book burning" when it didn't happen means you have delusions of being persecuted. Nobody will bother to persecute you; the Commies, the Socialists, the Libtards, the Blacks from Chicago, the Mexicans aren't coming to take your crappy house and your money and Gone with the Wind. Those people are not causing your problems in life; your distorted thinking in your tiny brain causes your problems.

I've seen Gone with the Wind - twice - and each time I thought it was about crazy people with peculiar notions being phonies, and making really bad decisions because they were living in fantasy-land. In other words, I saw it as a great negative example of what not to do.


I guess we all take our different lessons from it.

6ix, Gone with the Wind is fake history that shows the slave-owners as the heroes and the abolitionists as the villains and the slaves as trained apes, but Americans made it the most profitable movie in history, which is to say fake history.

For most of human existence, we didn’t have a civilization:

Why did we take so long to invent civilization? Modern Homo sapiens first evolved roughly 250,000 to 350,000 years ago. But initial steps towards civilization — harvesting, then domestication of crop plants — began only around 10,000 years ago, with the first civilizations appearing 6,400 years ago.

For 95 percent of our species’ history, we didn’t farm, create large settlements, or complex political hierarchies. We lived in small, nomadic bands, hunting and gathering. Then, something changed.

The archaeological and fossil records tell us our ancestors could have pursued farming, but only did so after they had little alternative. We probably would have continued hunting mammoths forever, but we were just too good at it, and likely wiped out our own food supply.

Agriculture and civilization may have been invented not because they were an improvement over our ancestral lifestyle, but because we were left no choice. Agriculture was a desperate attempt to fix things when we took more than the ecosystem could sustain. If so, we abandoned the life of ice age hunters to create the modern world, not with foresight and intent, but by accident — because of an ecological catastrophe we created.

How the extinction of ice age mammals may have forced us to invent civilization

Gone with the Wind opening credits prologue: There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South... Here in this pretty world Gallantry took its last bow.. Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and Slave... Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered. A Civilization gone with the wind…

What tune was playing during the prologue? The Confederate Anthem ( I wish I was in Dixieland)
Here is the version sponsored by the Ku Klux Klan. Sing along with it if you are as nostalgic as the Klan for the good old days:

Yeah, the opening prologue was pretty hard to take seriously, too. It was SO overblown and just plain stupid it sounded like it was lampooning the Old South.

I'm sure some people took it seriously. I just couldn't.

Most people who watch Gone with the Wind take it seriously, not as a lampoon of what to avoid. And as for 6ix claiming the Democrats are book burners, the Ku Klux Klan makes the same claim as 6ix. But, again, the Democrats burned nothing and the Klanmen lie constantly while claiming to be tellers of the strict truth.

I'm not sure men watched it much. It was basically what my cousin used to call a bodice-ripper - a torrid historically set romance. I suspect most women didn't care about the predicate, they just wanted to watch Clark Gable do some manly swearing. Be still my beating heart !!!

Now you are trivializing and mocking Gone with the Wind. The author of the book Gone with the Wind took it seriously. Mitchell learned the gritty details of specific battles from visits with aging Confederate soldiers. But she didn't learn that the South had actually lost the war until she was 10 years of age: "I heard everything in the world except that the Confederates lost the war. When I was ten years old, it was a violent shock to learn that General Lee had been defeated. I didn't believe it when I first heard it and I was indignant. I still find it hard to believe, so strong are childhood impressions."

The book and the movie are two different things. The movie was definitely NOT a historical account, with a pop quiz at the end.
