1) Scottish officer's broadsword, c1900
This sword bears several markers of Scottish identity. It's decorated with traditional symbols like the thistle (Scotland’s national flower) and the figure of St Andrew (the patron saint of Scotland) with his saltire cross.
The blade's design is based on the traditional Highland broadsword. Following the Jacobite defeat at Culloden in 1746, Highland culture had been suppressed. However, it underwent something of a revival in the 19th century, a period when military reforms were actively strengthening regiments’ links with their local communities.
Although The Royal Scots was a Lowland regiment, all Scottish units had begun to adopt elements of Highland Dress by the 1880s.
Also depicted on the blade is a boar’s head, a symbol taken from the coat of arms of the Gordon family. The boar featured on the coats of arms of many Scottish clans to signify bravery.

"Dislike of seeing others of their race prosper is a trait that crops out in the Haitian character in the frequent uprisings... Many of the Haitian Presidents have been both cruel and corrupt, and it seems surprising that the whole system of government has not crumbled long ago. The entire republic is governed by a network of generals, who hold in their hands the power of life and death. These men rule after the fashion of a schoolboy bully and deal out justice in a cruel manner."

Forwarded from Lithuania’s School of Thought
No nation gives anything freely and generously to another, because every nation is, by its essence, egoistic, meaning it seeks to prioritize its own interests. And if the Lithuanian nation has not been this way until now, it has made a gigantic, often irreparable mistake. If it wants to survive and create a better future for itself, it must raise its youth in healthy, realistic national egoism, without hesitation and without reservations. Someone once called this egoism “sacred,” and in truth, it is. National egoism, grounded in national solidarity, is the foundation for the survival of the nation.

Today, May 9, marks the birthday of the great composer Claudio Monteverdi, a towering figure in music history. Monteverdi was a true pioneer in the development of opera and is widely regarded as one of the most important transitional figures between the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Without his groundbreaking contributions, European art music would not be what we know it to be today. He transformed the early experiments of the Florentine Camerata into a fully dramatic art form.

@FolkishEurope
And so, shall we—who, by virtue of cultural solidarity and even by the mysterious voice of blood, feel bound to the European destiny—be able to transmute our ancestral patriotism—which loves this land because our forebears won it and gave it form—into a telluric patriotism, one that loves this land simply for what it is, even if, across its vast expanse, the very last echo of our familial destiny has fallen silent?
