Fairly confident that these are not historical documents. While the language is entirely correct and sounds fairly convincing, the typeface is wrong. It's a mixture of various different Fraktur typefaces, and all of them are used wrong. They don't use the correct ligatures and the long s. While the Third Reich phased out the use of Fraktur nominally in 1941, they did continue using it in many official documents over Antiqua, and they certainly knew how to use it. The long s is required in gothic typefaces and you can easily spot fake documents like this because people don't use the long s anymore and don't know the rules of it.

I used to watch the /x/ channel on odysee [it's also on yt] and it seemed to be tall tales of various genres: cryptids, ufos, innawoods, &c.

I found a guide.
Exactly. You see in those documents it's the round s throughout, with the long s omitted completely. It's typical for documents written in modern times, since we don't really use the long s anymore. I'm a bit of a sperg and learned the German Kurrent and Sütterlin types of cursive for fun, and those also require the long s and the rules where to use them.

So in"Passieren" and "Anweisung" the long s would be needed if I follow.

Correct, the round s is only used at the end of syllables and words. There are some special cases, but that's the gist of it. The long s is also used in other languages, but I think German is the only one that has sensible rules beyond "where it looks better".
 
There’s a conspiracy that I think could’ve been a big deal. In 2022 or so, there was a shortage, especially beef in Burgerland. That’s right, burgers were starting to become scarce in Burgerland, causing prices to rise, resulting in people getting chicken instead. What was interesting though was that I am friends and family with a lot of farmers and ranchers, many of whom had cattle. Lots of cattle. There was no shortage on their end, things were business as usual for them.

Coincidentally, there became a lot of ESG pressure on farmers and there was also a yuge and bigly press for people to get into Beyond Meat, Impossible Meat, etc. I believe the “shortage” was entirely artificial and was an attempt to push people off of meat, cattle specifically. It stopped after 2023 because it was a failure and would’ve been a campaign issue for the 2024 elections. Suddenly we heard investors pull out of Beyond Meat and beef became more readily available again. I think this was completely artificial.

Partly. Meat processing and packing requires a lot of manual labour and can't be easily automated. Packing plants in 2021 and 2022 were still having trouble getting reliable workers after the rona shit (which is why there was a sudden mass influx of haitians and other cheap labour during Biden's term) so their productivity was down, which was causing shortages. Beef (along with lamb) requires more processing than chicken, so beef was harder hit.

There were also the fires, which were probably insurance jobs and a way to avoid having to inefficiently run a plant at a loss during the worker shortages. Those also contributed significantly to shortages.

The big push for beyond and other vegan "meat" was because the production of such things can be easily automated and uses far fewer staff. The industry as a whole wanted to transition to the more automated process, assuming people would just accept their plastic fantastic burgers, but in the meantime the conventional packing plants needed cheap foreign labour to make up the shortfall.
 
However, someone scraped most/some of the replies and managed to archive it.

sure are. Good to know my clover and dandelion patch (with some grass, no fertiliser and zero weed killer ever) is fighting the good fight. You can pull uk the dandelions in spring and eat the leaves/dry rhe roots etc. They’re really good for you
I lol thinking of how many nigger cattle would go "eeeeewwww! That didn't come from the store!" I mean, as long as you aren't dousing the lawn with glyphosate

I don’t use any synthetic weed killer and I’d not touch glyphosate . post blossom I will use a kaolin/various household stuff mix I was taught by an elderly French organic fruit grower to keep the red spot off the pears, and I do use neem and kaolin/dish soap if needed for very bad aphid or codling moth. I will use vinegar on the paving to nuke the weeds. I really want a flame thrower for that, but I don’t have one.
Other than that, I just leave it be. People get funny about lawns, but unless you’re playing croquet on it, clover is just fine. Thistles and anything spiky get mercilessly uprooted but otherwise I’m laissez faire about weeds. Slugs and snails I go out with a bucket in the evening and pick the buggers off and bin them. I’d like ducks but my plot isn’t big enough.

This is fascinating. Thank you guys!

Another thing to note is that outside of Propaganda posters, Germany phased out Fraktur in 1941 in the Normalschrifterlass. Hitler decided that Fraktur was "Schwabachian Jew Letters" and decided that Antiqua should be used throughout. They used mainly Antiqua and various Grotesques afterwards, with Fraktur being mostly phased out. So alleged Third Reich documents like secret orders on how to get to Argatha would most likely be printed in Antiqua as well, and certainly not in a mixture of like three different types of Fraktur.
 
You know, if I wanted to watch conspiracy theory videos, I'd go on YouTube or watch the History Channel. I'm here for discussion, so fucking type your fucking theories out or leave.
Can we move this thread to Salon - Off-Topic? Since this is obviously a Salon thread in the wrong forum. I apologize for not realizing this sooner.
