Heroforge: The Hammer of Freedom

The Hammer of Freedom — Every record has been destroyed or falsified. Every book has been rewritten. Every picture has been repainted. History has stopped. Nothing exists except the endless present and there is nothing that stands against the end of history and the enslavement of Man. Except The Hammer of Freedom!

Ever since I read the first two episodes of Hammer of Freedom last week, I'm looking forward to the next episode. And while that is the case with great majority of the title at Arktoons, Luciano Cunha's Hammer of Freedom is a bit special.

Fisking NYT: I wish there actually was a culture war

Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša

I read this article from NYT some time ago, and felt it was in need of fisking. Since I actually know the situation of Slovenian politics I decided to give it a go. The original article will be in italics. My responses will be in bold.

You can find the the original article here:  https://archive.is/jqkDx

A Populist Leader Kicks Off a Culture War, Starting in Museums

Right of the bat we have several problems. Janez Janša is not a populist. I wouldn't mind if he actually was, but he isn't. He still gets called populist a lot because the leftist media in Slovenia knows if they paint him as populist the foreign press will pick it up, and understand Janša = bad. It's not so much a culture war as it is war against lefty nepotism that was possible for the past three decades of Slovenian independence. Considering Janša was one of those who made Slovenian independence reality, the Communists and their descendants hate him with the passion of a thousand burning suns. I'm not exaggerating.
