[lbo-talk] french love of thugs (with style)

[Shane Mage]

A few more notes about this idiocy:
--in the mid-1930's the bank robber John Dillinger was the most  
popular person in America
--the word "thug" is a racist term adopted to denigrate Indian  
peasants forced into banditry by British colonial exactions
--the number one hero-figure in today's British and American discourse  
is the mass murderer Winston Churchill, the most "thuggish" of  
imperialist politicians ever
