What’s Flashman’s version of the judges speech? I imagine something like.
>brown pussy was always here. Even before white man was, brown pussy waited for him. The ultimate hole awaiting its ultimate PLAPtitioner
>any brown pussy that exists without my Angloid cum, exists without my consent
>>
I like that Flashman ackshually does something heinous for once. He usually just fornicates with other men's crushes and tells them about it
>>
Macdonald Fraser was an anglo scottish BVLL who experiened hand to hand combat in burma against the japs and wasn't a pampered wealthy academic like mccuckold which is why Flashman and the Redskins actually feels well written and realistic
>>

true

Scottish WW2 veteran conservative > faggy Irish-American edgylord liberal
>>
Is it necessary or recommended to read Tom Brown's School Days before reading Flashman?
>>
>>25459009
lol no, it's a silly, dated, boring, didactic book about the bullying going in Victorian boarding schools (Flashman is probably the best part of it though)
>>
>>25459009
Not at all. The genius of Fraser was that he took a despicable bully and turned him into one of the great anti-heroes of literature. -- The historic milieu of all his books is quite accurate and his Flashman's take on it is both amusing and trenchant.
>>
>>25459009
No. TBS is totally different. Flashman is basically what if you took Uriah Heep and wrote twenty books about him Forrest Gumping across history.
>>

I don't think mccarthy was a liberal, but are you saying that conservatism involves being a hedonist who lusts after exotic pussy instead of being, you know, a man who lives in more pain than pleasure and does what he can to spread said pain, instead of pleasing brown women?
>>

It's the heart to heart Flashy has with Mangas Coloradas, which gives insight into the Native American psychology (as Fraser understood it) and also serves as an elegy for the world they lost.
>>
I love that Flashman becomes friends with Abraham Lincoln. Fraser's portrayal of Lincoln is pretty great, too.

Well not just a world, 95% of the Native population of North America was exterminated by the 20th Century and the rest is mostly descended from mixture and less than half native. America went Netanyahu on them especially under Andrew Jackson
