The same chickenheads who were butt-slapping each other when the USA Sportsball Game played in London, and players kneeled during the US anthem and stood during British.

We should uncolonize all these places by returning them to their original state which was late bronze/early iron age I think, many without knowledge of the wheel.

The real question is should de-colonizing mean handing over to whomever controlled the place before the British. I believe India was a patch-work with many Moslem princedoms. Africa didn't even have borders

[KavkazUzel] The protagonist of the film "Prince Marukh: The Road of Courage," which was shown in the Adyghe language in a number of cinemas in southern Russia, is most likely a collective character of folklore, but the creation and display of such films are important for the Circassian society, historians interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" pointed out.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the screening of the historical drama "Prince Marukh. The Road of Courage" in the Adyghe language has been announced in the cinemas of the "Monitor" network .
On September 8, cinemas in a number of Russian cities started showing the historical drama "Prince Marukh. The Road of Courage" in the Adyghe language. Representatives of the cinema "Kuban Kino" told the "Caucasian Knot" that this is not the first screening of the film in the language of the Caucasian peoples.
"We have such a cycle “Days of National Cinema”, within which we show films showing the history and culture of different countries and peoples. There were films in the national languages of the Caucasian peoples. On September 11 and 18, viewers have the opportunity to watch a film about Prince Marukh and get acquainted with an interesting story," the cinema said.
A Circassian prince by right of blood, an Egyptian Mamluk by duty and a Man by the voice of conscience... After many years of absence, he - Prince Marukh - returns to his homeland, which he remembers completely different.
Having become a man of two worlds, he is trying to fence himself off from the realities of today's Circassia, but they imperiously invade his life. And now he is saddling his horse again in order to see with his own eyes the origins of the coming tragedy of his people. A series of random events draws him into the mysteries of big politics and petty intrigues. He will have to go through a difficult path to win recognition and respect in his native land, according to the description of the film on the website kinoafisha.info.
Interest in the history of the Circassians is quite high in the region, the representative of the cinema noted. "In June of this year, we hosted the Days of Adyghe Cinema with the participation of filmmakers from Adygea and Kuban. Interest was quite high. We hope it will also be in the case of a new film," the source said.
Candidate of Historical Sciences, senior researcher at the Karachay-Cherkess Institute for Humanitarian Research, Fatima Ozova is not familiar with the history of Prince Marukh. “You know, I was surprised, I thought what kind of prince Marukh, about whom I don’t know anything. I saw the news about the film, but didn’t watch it."
The historian found it difficult to call Marukh a historical figure.
“Maybe she’s not well-informed, maybe that’s the case, but he’s certainly not heard of. Perhaps some exclusive material about him fell into their hands, but I don’t know the sources about this prince. Marukh is an Abaza word We even have the Marukhsky pass in Karachay-Cherkessia, but I don’t know what relation it has to the Adyghe princes. The news said that he lived in the 19th century. The fact is that two-thirds of the inhabitants of the Western Caucasus already lived in democratic republics, then the princes and nobles lost their power and people's assemblies were created. I don't remember such a prince of those times," she stressed.
The plot of the film is built on folklore, said Timur Aloev, senior researcher at the Kabardino-Balkarian Institute for Humanitarian Research, candidate of historical sciences. He also doubted that Prince Marukh really existed.
"I can't say anything about the historical foundation, I was not interested in this plot. I have never met such a prince with such a name. Maybe I missed something," he told the "Caucasian Knot".
At the same time, he pointed out the importance of such paintings. "If an interesting film is made on the basis of authenticity, then for a people who are in very cramped circumstances from the point of view of ethnic survival, this is very good," Aloev believes.
Samir Khotko, doctor of historical sciences, author of the book "History of Circassia in the Middle Ages and Modern Times," a leading researcher at the Adyghe Institute for Humanitarian Research, confirmed that Prince Marukh is not a historical figure.
"This is a fictional character, not a real one. It's like a work of art. Maybe there is a realistic background, a prototype, but it's entirely fiction. This is not a historical figure, his character was taken from folklore in the form of a collective image of the Adyghe princes of that time," he told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
According to him, we are talking about the beginning of the 19th century, when local princes faced an important choice.
"The aristocrats were between two fires. On the one hand, the Russian force acts on the Adyghes, and on the other, independent mountaineers who are fighting for democracy. And a choice must be made. This is the era of the Caucasian war and here many Adyghe princes clashed with the empire. The mountaineers occupy a more principled position, they have nothing to lose, and the lowland aristocrats are forced to pursue a conciliatory line," he explained.
Film director Hussein Daurov did not respond to the request of the "Caucasian Knot" to tell about the history of the film and the main character.
Earlier, he told reporters that he considers Prince Marukh a historical figure. “For the first time I learned about him many years ago from the monograph by Ruslanid Kuadzhe, where several paragraphs were devoted to the duel between Marukh and the Bzhedug prince."
[Babylon Bee] ATLANTA, GA — Rightful Governor of Georgia Stacey Abrams announced that she will succeed Elizabeth II as the Queen of England only moments after the announcement of the Queen's death.
"It is with a heavy heart that I accept my new responsibility as England's new Queen," said Abrams solemnly. "They say 'heavy is the head that wears the crown,' but my head was already heavy, so I'm used to it."
Members of Parliament and Prime Minister Liz Truss joined in celebrating Queen Elizabeth's life and the heralding of a new, more diverse royal family. "We always thought of Stacey Abrams as true royalty," said PM Truss. "It's high time for a woman of color to wear the crown of England."
With that, Parliament joined in a rousing chant of "YAAAASS QUEEN" and threw their powdered wigs in the air.
Queen Abrams' coronation is scheduled for next Tuesday.

And give up President of Earth? Seems quite the demotion.
[Reuters] CHICAGO/LONDON, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Scott Taylor never got to move on from COVID-19.
The 56-year-old, who caught the disease in spring 2020, still had not recovered about 18 months later when he killed himself at his home near Dallas, having lost his health, memory and money.
"No one cares. No one wants to take the time to listen," Taylor wrote in a final text to a friend, speaking of the plight of millions of sufferers of long COVID, a disabling condition that can last for months and years after the initial infection.
"I can hardly do laundry without complete exhaustion, pain, fatigue, pain all up and down my spine. World spinning dizzily, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. It seems I say stuff and have no idea of what I'm saying," Taylor added.
Long COVID is a complex medical condition that can be hard to diagnose as it has a range of more than 200 symptoms - some of which can resemble other illnesses - from exhaustion and cognitive impairment to pain, fever and heart palpitations, according to the World Health Organization.
There is no authoritative data on the frequency of suicides among sufferers. Several scientists from organizations including the U.S. National Institutes of Health and Britain's data-collection agency are beginning to study a potential link following evidence of increased cases of depression and suicidal thoughts among people with long COVID, as well as a growing number of known deaths.
"I'm sure long COVID is associated with suicidal thoughts, with suicide attempts, with suicide plans and the risk of suicide death. We just don't have epidemiological data," said Leo Sher, a psychiatrist at Mount Sinai Health System in New York who studies mood disorders and suicidal behavior.
Among key questions now being examined by researchers: does the risk of suicide potentially increase among patients because the virus is changing brain biology? Or does the loss of their ability to function as they once did push people to the brink, as can happen with other long-term health conditions?
Sher said pain disorders in general were a very strong of predictor of suicide, as was inflammation in the brain, which several studies have linked with long COVID.
