2019-05-29 at 12:44 AM UTC in The Retarded Thread: Malice Metro EditionI went to my first auction ever today. I didnt get the boat I wanted but I DID get a purple chair for ten dollars. I didnt really care about it but I HAD to get something so I just went for it. I even got to do a little mini bidding war with someone as the bid started at 5, so I said 6 and the other guy said 7 and so on and so forth. I WIN. :)The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

Originally posted by Sudo My Grandparents were integral members of an Orange lodge in a rural area whose only purpose was to keep french people out of town.

I think it may go all the way back to the rise of Protestantism in Western Europe and the Dutch revolts which would culminate in the 80 years war. During the 1500's The Netherlands were a province in the Spanish Hapsburg kingdom/empire. Staunchly catholic, the Spanish considered Protestantism heresy. Persecution of Dutch Protestants by the Spanish was one of the main reasons if not the reason for the Dutch to revolt in the first place. William of Orange, or William The Silent as many native English speakers may know him as led the rebellion so to speak and members of his family played important roles in the 80 years war and the events that transpired. Spain wasn't going to tolerate protestant revolts and they were certainly unwilling to give up on Dutch territories, because of the ports and trade routes that went through here.
Anyway, the 80 years war happened and it left deep resentment between the two factions of Christianity. Henry VIII of England had made England Protestant as well of course, some years before. As such i think it's fair to say that William of Orange was seen as the protector of Protestantism, because he stood up against the Catholics. And The Netherlands did in fact gain their independence from Spain after the long struggle.
Due to this status, and the fact that the Dutch supported the Protestant cause during the Williamite–Jacobite War, orange lodges, or orders went up bearing his name, as fraternal societies dedicated to the protection of core Protestant values.
I guess what i am trying to say is that perhaps they didn't just hate the French, they felt resentment towards all Catholics and Catholic nations for the way their religion may have been persecuted. Which would be perfectly understandable in my opinion.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2019-05-26 at 6:18 PM UTC in Syria Retarded ThreadCarried on from here.
Originally posted by Octavian Explain how some those weapons were manufactured in the US? As were a lot of weapons used in Yemen, not only by the US but the UK as well.
I'm not sure what you mean. Which weapons? Syria and Yemen are two different cases - Syria's civil war was orchestrated by the US as a standard 'color revolution' where they stirred up unrest then flooded the country with foreign Jihadis (to the point where something like 80% of the 'rebels' were foreigners at the height of it). Yemen is a direct military action where KSA is trying (and failing lul) to force Yemen to accept their puppet.
Originally posted by Octavian Yes, part of Russia being in Syria was helping fight ISIS but they couldn't help not wanting to fight the US even by proxy.
The entire point of Russia entering the war was to help the legitimate government avoid a complete state collapse. It just so happened that the parties creating the conditions for said collapse were ALL being supported by the US, israel, Turkey and the Gulf States to varying degrees.
Originally posted by Sudo What disinformation was spread about the Kurdish people? It seems Turkey would demonize (the PKK actually does carry out terroristy stuff) and the US would paint pictures of democratic, almost white, gender equal capitalist secularists that turned out to be almost completely ineffectual when it came to actually fighting a war. The SDF is/was a hodgepodge of groups from all kinds of backgrounds, some as extreme as Jabat al whatever.
Last information I got from people on the ground (~2 years ago) was that the SDF was ~75% YPG, which is literally the same organisation as the PKK. They don't enjoy much local support as far as I know, even among the Kurds - they're known for a lot of shady shit like pressing locals into military service and using them as cannon fodder, not paying for supplies etc. It's been a while since I've been able to get a close look though.
Originally posted by Sudo I think the propaganda about the white helmets being state actors is kinda sickening. Maybe you wear a white helmet in a warzone and people don't shoot at you because they think you're helping people and aren't a threat. Maybe some people will wear white helmets to do shitty things but trying to discredit the only people being objective in saving lives in that shithole does a disservice to humanity.
It's not propaganda lol. They're funded by the UK to the tune of millions of pounds (the US won't disclose figures), they're trained in Turkey and when they won the award for their movie the leader was not allowed to enter the US and collect his award because he's literally a sanctioned terrorist. Their membership draws almost exclusively from Al-Nusra factions and they've literally been videotaped fighting on the front lines with the headchoppers.
I actually wrote a thread about them before: https://niggasin.space/thread/8043
Which reminds me of a story - the video included as a link in the second post is from a BBC4 documentary; it shows a man in White Helmets uniform fighting with Al-Zinki foot soldiers. Once people picked up on it, the documentary was pulled from BBC. The reporter that ran that documentary embedded with Al-Zinki again a few weeks later, and they intentionally led him into a fire zone without press markings apparently in an attempt to get him killed.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Common De-mominator Ok. I've never referred to this in my views.
I know, it's just an example of mainstream media blatantly pushing an agenda and ignoring/stifling the data that disproves it.
more directly:
'Aleppo Boy' was plastered on every newspaper on website as an example of what the 'brutal Assad regime' does to children... Until his parents were interviewed and reported that it was a rebel mortar that leveled his house, and that US-backed rebels had bribed, then threatened them to keep their mouths shut. They were only able to speak freely once the government drove the rebels out.
And this is a BILD reporter's reaction to the new information. -
2019-05-26 at 4:35 PM UTC in My Word Cloud Process - ITT We All Laugh, Learn, and See Gradual Iterative UpdatesMonths ago, I got super into doing all kinds of data analysis on NiS thread/post content for practice/self-education, as well as for sheer lulz.
https://niggasin.space/thread/31288
https://niggasin.space/thread/31496
One of those areas attracted heightened interest, especially by a couple of homies in particular, mmQ and Grimace.
(By the way, Grimace, I realize for you the priority is the Totse dump, and, I am working on that as well, but parsing HTML tables is brutal, and, for ethical reasons, I don't want to simply throw hundreds of threads back onto the Internet directly like WaybackMachine does, so I'm pretty much stuck parsing the files, and Totse had two different HTML formats... Zoklet has only the one. I'm working on it all in tangent, I promise).
Now, back to word clouds...
The first one I did was for NiS's top candidate for most controversial figure. My motivation to choose him at the time was not out of some form of admiration of any kind, but, rather, because I figured his word cloud would likely be interesting and/or entertaining.
Btw, for anyone who does not know exactly what a word cloud is, it takes a large portion of text and statistically determines the N most frequently occurring words within it, and then results in a pretty and colorful image showing all the top words, but with the size of the word correlating with the frequency of that particular word.
For example, see the original infinityshock word cloud:
But now, a bit more about the process...
First off, you might be thinking... Won't words like "the", "a", "to", and so on, always be the top used words?
Yes, they are the most frequently used words of course, but any kind of linguistic analysis of a large corpus (body) of text, involves a few steps to clean the data up a bit. Those super common words mentioned above are referred to as stop words. There are a few ways to remove them programmatically - I believe I used a publicly available list online to filter the large body of text for the above word cloud, but many NLP (Natural Language Processing) libraries, such as NLTK for Python (the one I typically use), have built in libraries that you just choose and declare when you're preparing the data.
There are MANY other ways in which textual data can be prepared for analysis, but, for a word cloud, which is actually an incredibly simple analysis compared to other NLP use cases, it's literally just about counting how often words occur. Nothing all that fancy, really.
But, cleaning and preparing the data is always an important step.
Case in point:
That's a word cloud generated (just now) from the exact same text data, but before doing any fancy pre-processing or filtering (other than stop words).
Notice how "Bill" and "Krosby" are among his 20 most frequently used words? I think that, when I made the original, I simply manually added those two words to the stop word list because they came up so much (kind of a quick and dirty brute force method).
(Apparently infinityshock references, or quotes, kr0z, with some regularity).
OH, and that reminds me...
Quotes...
One reflection I had about my original word cloud (much later on) was that I did not filter out quotes... So, it is technically including words the target poster didn't actually use themselves. This skews the data.
Right now, as we speak, I am running a python script on the data I have already archived to parse out quotes. I will elaborate on my specific method of doing so in a subsequent post in this thread. -
