With all the mythical figures in the Waververse I'm surprised that you haven't included the Wandering Jew. I'd imagine him as a perpetual cynic, having lived through almost two millennia of persecution, seeing any improvement for the Jewish people, or human race as a whole, as a brief respite before the next round of beatings in the long run. Bitter, sarcastic and passive-aggressive, he is initially dismissive of Colombia and the promise of socialism to improve the human condition, having witnessed the failures of countless empires, religions and ideologies over the centuries, but over time he begins to soften, especially after the Palestinian Revolution, showing that, if you scratch beneath the surface of a cynic you will find an optimist beneath, even if you have to do quite a bit of scratching.

AH Thread: What does Yule mean in a communist society?

IskanderHardrat said:
Yule celebrate just small groups of "German" neo-pagans and Wiccans. I understand their motives but they often seem marginal and ignorant. Christmas we celebrate the seventh of January, and that only the Orthodox and Greek Catholics. Classic Christmas - in the Baltic republics. The overwhelming majority of the population celebrates the New Year. For us it is a family and children's party. For children arrange festivals, give a bunch of candy and dress up (we do not celebrate Halloween). Adults - just going to the families and remember the passing year.

I'll get to it soon enough.

Though if you wish to write out a quick paragraph long profile that'd be fine too.

Here are two characters that have been in my head for a while. I'm trying to explore how Canadians would evolve under the UASR:

Favorite Quote: "I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half."=Jay Gould
Demeanor: Smug, nasty, temperamental
AH Works on the Board: "The Rise of the Arctic Power": Marie Curie immigrates to Canada. By the 1930s, Canada is the first nation on Earth to build an atomic weapon, and it ends up defeating the UASR in a nuclear war. Derided as a nuke-wank and a nuclear fantasy, read only by the really twisted.

AH Works on the Board: The Valkyries of Ottawa: Imagines a world where Emma Goldman immigrated to Canada. It explores the effects this would have on woman's rights in Canada.

AH works on the board:

Art basically refers to any drawing or painting; whether it's in a museum or on somebody's TTL equivalent of deviantart or tumblr page or in a game book.

Book can refer to a comic series, a webcomic, or a web novel or other non-standard forms of literature. If it's primarily animated then it would go on TV, if it's primarily interactive it would go under games. Homestuck and Captain America would both fit into the Book category.

Wait, so do you want us to update our users using this template?

Just something I figured you guys would find useful.

Edit: I'm also quite certain my net connection is getting the usual end of month throttling so I may find it a bit difficult to respond at times.

Sounds like a thread I wanna get in on.

AH Thread: What does Yule mean in a Communist society?

Deleon's Crew said:
The sheer amount of reaction in this thread is making me want to start a "search and destroy" mission, but I promised Jingles I would cool down after the infamous "great MRA circlejerk", so I'll leave it at that.

Now for my main points.

On the islands, the Yule season is a lot more festive and fun than some parts of the mainland. There's a lot of parties, athletic events, surfing, and gatherings. Generally, me and La Bandera get very very drunk when we aren't cooking. Its the life. Then again, Hawaii has always been laid back and festive compared to most places, even the rest of the UASR.

In the marine corps, we have our own traditions, generally involving getting shitfaced and beating the living fuck out of each other. At least combat arms did. The POGs kinda sat in the barracks talking shit to the squids. I'm not sure what the WFRA does, but MapleLeaf was a soldier so she could full us in.

Shit, you work in the restaurant business and you were in the big red machine? You're like a female version of me!

My character his very friendly, if you can't tell.

AH Thread: What does Yule mean in a Communist society?

MapleLeaf said:

It really depended on where we were stationed. One winter, I was stationed in the Yukon territory. We were mostly indoors on our downtime, with celebrations that usually involving booze. One time, we spent our Holidays in Florida. We had a lot of parties and a lot of barbecues. Again, with lots and lots of booze.

You right, that is one hell of a coincidence Deleon's Crew! It's good to meet someone on this site who has fought for liberation, instead of just sitting in front of a screen writing about it, or someone like UpNorth, who complains about what we do to protect his liberty.

Again, I do lot of different things for Yule every year, so I don't believe that there should be one single tradition around the holidays, except that you should be with your comrades.

UpNorth said:

Aside from the comment about "protection", you're right Maple. I'm learning about so many kinds of traditions. But they all involve sharing with your fellow human being. That's why I pity that poor jerk SuperCanuck. The truth is, I'm guessing that he simply has nobody to share anything with, so he looks down at the rest of us.

We shouldn't let fascist bullies spoil our fun and divide us. We should all unite for fun.

In fact, tomorrow, I'll have my Sufganiyot with eggnog instead of milk.
