Random Racist Political Pamphlets

The printing press was a revolutionary invention, allowing the spread of ideas on a scale never before imaginable. Some of those ideas (racism, freemasonry, etc.) were bad. This is a generator for those sorts of pamphlets.

Warning: Not all pamphlets may be racist.

Generator made with friend of the blog Spwack's thing here.

The raws:

  1. This reminded me of the seventeenth-century pamphlet name generator I wrote, so long ago it might as well have been the seventeenth century: philome.la/matthew_/pamphlet-generator/play/index.html

    1. Something ineffable was lost when we moved away from run-on sentences as titles for things

    2. Beautiful. I also miss proper "...or, 'an entirely different title'" subtitles.
