why not call it the klancilium instead and keep the klan prefix? god reactionaries are so dumb even when aesthetics are all they're (sometimes) good at they fuck it up

also klonvokations is just lol

how did rural crackers ever take any of this shit seriously it sounds like it's ripped from Dungeons and Dragons, I literally read this shit to my GF and she zoned out and thought i was talking about some isekai anime

edit: nobody needs to tell me the reactionary cracker will go to any length to debase himself if it will mean harming minorities but like it's just wild to me that that, in this case, meant calling a bunch of nerds "exalted cyclops" and "great titan" at their weird cult meetings

it's klon-to-klon communication, what did you expect?

Klommunication was right there

It’s okay, er, klokay. Because the klan will be be publicly stupidly again and we can try our puns again.

Serious answer: it was the fashion at the time. A lot of fraternal organizations have goofy ass titles and a lot of Klansmen were also Elks or Rotarians or whatever. It's dudes being bros but instead of appropriating Muslim/Ottoman/Turkish aesthetics and supporting children's hospitals like the Shriners, the reincarnated KKK went with nativist spectacle instead.

Maybe they didn't and it was like a high fantasy for them. Obviously it's only policy that actually matters and in this case it's harming minorities but admittedly having silly titles like that is such a good parody of the legal system and civil religion that I kind of want actual government titles to be like that now

My sources say that would significantly improve on the current title of "poopoo head"

Good news then? With the direction our country's going in, we may get to experience that in our lifetime
