Moloch, huh?
Like... the ancient Cannonite diety? :o
...which creates the impression of looking through heavy rain.
Nice point. I wish I'd added that above, but am glad you did!
1847 was a year of economic turmoil in France, which preceded a second revolution in 1848. Wouldn't be surprised if this was related to any of that.
Also, the tall officer in the middle looks very familiar, but then again, I guess it was a pretty common look, i.e. middle-aged man with a drooping, caterpillar moustache.
From the couple of books by Jane Goodall I read, there absolutely was a 'top dawg' male in the Gombe chimp troop for as long as she was around to study it.
Sometimes it would be based on force of personality; sometimes on strength & size, sometimes on wiliness and psychological tricks, and another time due to two brothers teaming up together. Regardless, after the fall of one, another would inevitably take its place.
IIRC Sapolski also observed that most baboon troops indeed had a heirarchy, with the top dawg there typically taking out its frustrations on the next-ranking member down, and so forth down the line. That said, he also observed that when the most aggressive males sometimes died off due to disease / etc, the resultant troops could function remarkably differently, in which there was more of an egalitarian matriarchy.

Gerudo-- I think MAYBE I see what you're saying.
I.e., Nate's stuff is not strictly Euro in nature, so you're trying to 'call me out, right?'
But here's the thing, dude-- have you actually READ the purpose and backstory of this community..?
Come on, dude-- let's talk about it, eh..?
Oh man, pardon the late reply, and thank you so much, compa! <3
I like how you picked out a fun representation of images to draw people in. Well done, matey. 🙂
Ah... love that!
I was in college at the time, and had a small stipend to buy certain crap that might break my budget.
Honestly, tho, I really wanted to just get laid..
Tell me you desperately crave more attention without outright stating it, mate?
Yes of course!
Philip, I'm a complete moron upon such formatting. Terribly sorry, mate.
Huh...!
Interesting.
Well, then, I guess if people don't like it, then they don't like it. (and yes, the point here is indeed ABSOLUTELY about Euro lit)
Honestly, tho-- you down-voters disappoint me. I.e. I feel like there's a place where there's a silly zone of creativity that should always be respected.
Still-- if the people have spoken, then the people have spoken...?
Actually... @Sergio@slrpnk.net, amigo, compa, et al , could you possibly, maybe mention us across those first two links, please?
There is just so much to take care over here, at the moment. And burning myself out accomplishes nothing positive IMO.
Woah, I didn't know you were familiar with Astrid, too, chieftain Mîm!
Hey that reminds me, @Nakedmole@lemmy.world,
Could Astrid make me a pizza one day like this clever cutie?
