- IT DEPICTS THE DECISIVE BATTLE WHICH CHARLES MARTEL WON; IT'S THE VICTORY WHICH SAVED EUROPE FROM BEING ENTIRELY CONQUERED BY MUSLIMS IN OCTOBER OF 732 A.D.
- THE PAINTING WAS COMPLETED IN 1837.
- NOTE THE CROSS IN THE UPPER LEFT.
- IT IS A SIMILAR CROSS TO THE ONE CHARLES OF LGF DISPLAYS IN AN ANTI-VLAAMSE BELANG POST IN WHICH HE CLAIMS IT ALSO PROVES FILIP DE WINTER IS A WHITE RACIST.
- DOES THIS PROVE THAT STEUBEN WAS ALSO A WHITE RACIST.
- NO. BOTH CONCLUSIONS ARE FAULTY. BASED IN THIS AND OTHER EVIDENCE CHARLES OFFERS.
- BUT EVEN IF DE WINTER WAS A RACIST, IT WOULD NOT MEAN THAT VB IS OR GOV OR ANYONE/EVERYONE ELSE AT THE COUNTER-JIHAD SUMMIT. AND IT WOULDN'T MEAN THAT VB MUST BE SHUNNED AT THE PRESENT TIME. (HERE'S WHY.)
I FOUND THIS PAINTING AT ATLAS. HERE ARE LINKS TO MORE INFO ON THE BATTLE AND THE PAINTING.
BTW: HERE'S A VIDEO ABOUT MARTEL (FROM SIOE) - AND HIS DANISH ALLIES WHO FOUGHT AND DIED ALONGSIDE HIM IN THE WAR TO SAVE EUROPE.
THEY FORGOT THEIR DIFFERENCES IN ORDER TO DEFEAT THE LARGER ENEMY, THE BIGGER THREAT.
IF THEY COULD DO IT, THEN SO CAN WE.
I don't think this is the best argument you could make. The fact that Steuben portrayed a cross-within-a-circle in 1837 does not disprove the possibility that the symbol was adopted a century later by racialist nationalists. Analogously, Rudyard Kipling used the swastika as a personal emblem on his books for a time, but stopped doing so when the hackenkreuz was adopted as a racist symbol by inter alia the Nazis in Germany.
ReplyDeleteA better case would be to examine the policies espoused by the Vlaams Belang and the Brussels Journal. Are they racist, statist, leftists? I think not. They are not 'national socialists' by any means.
