👮 Впрочем, для США культура отмены не является таким уж новым изобретением - деятелей Голливуда "отменяли" и в 1950-е гг. Комиссия по расследованию антиамериканской деятельности Палаты представителей США (House Un-American Activities Committee) активно искала в Голливуде коммунистов, и те, на кого падали подозрения в сочувствии идеям коммунизма, попадали в "чёрные списки".
♋️ Из-за действий комиссии и политики маккартизма из США был вынужден уехать Чарли Чаплин, а голливудские кинокомпании отказывались сотрудничать с актерами и сценаристами, оказавшимися в поле зрения комиссии. Десять сценаристов (Hollywood Ten), отказавшиеся давать показания в Конгрессе касательно своих связей с коммунистами, и вовсе были привлечены к уголовной ответственности. Только к концу 1950-х гг., когда антикоммунистическая истерия стала спадать, "чёрные списки" ушли в прошлое.

МАРШ ШЕРМАНА К МОРЮ
🇺🇸 В этом ноябре отмечается 160-я годовщина Марша Шермана к морю — военной операции, окончательно надломившей мощь Конфедеративные штатов. В ноябре 1864 года Уильям Текумсе Шерман выступил из Атланты, штат Джорджия, в поход на Саванну – важнейший портовый город на берегу Атлантического океана.
🔥Шерман применил тактику «выжженной земли»: его войска разрушали железные дороги, склады и фермерские угодья. Цветущая Джорджия, один из самых богатых штатов Конфедерации, превратилась в пустыню.
🏳 Поход завершился 22 декабря 1864 года, когда Шерман вошел в Саванну. Этот марш стал символом жестокости войны и стратегического мышления Шермана, оказавшего значительное влияние на ход Гражданской войны.

🇬🇧THE CHARTIST MOVEMENT
🗳 The Chartist movement emerged in Britain during the 1830s and 1840s as a working-class campaign advocating for political reform. Its name derives from the People's Charter of 1838, which outlined six key demands:
🔸universal male suffrage;
🔸secret ballots;
🔸payment for Members of Parliament;
🔸equal electoral districts;
🔸the abolition of property qualifications for MPs;
🔸annual parliaments.
✊ The movement was driven by widespread discontent with the existing political system, which excluded many working-class men from voting. Although the Chartists faced significant opposition and their immediate goals were not achieved, their efforts laid the groundwork for future reforms and highlighted the need for greater democratic participation. The movement is often regarded as a precursor to modern labor rights and democratic movements in Britain and beyond.

☕️ NO GIRLS ALLOWED
🇬🇧 When tea first started becoming available to the public, it was served out of coffee houses. Full of pipe smoke and noise, these coffe shops served only men, meaning that women had to enjoy tea at home.
🫖 However, the Twining family opened the first teashop available to women in 1717, calling it The Golden Lyon. Now known as Twining’s Tea Shop, it is still open to the public and is located at 216 Strand in London.

🇺🇸 BOSTON TEA PARTY
☕️ On December 16, 1773, a dramatic act of defiance unfolded in Boston, a key city in Britain's American colonies. Known as the Boston Tea Party, this event became a turning point in the colonies’ struggle for independence from British rule.
💰 At the heart of the protest was the Tea Act, which allowed Britain to tax tea sold in the colonies without giving the colonists any say in the matter—what they called "taxation without representation." Frustrated by this injustice, a group of colonists disguised themselves as Indians, boarded British ships, and threw 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor.
🇺🇸 This bold act wasn't just about tea; it was a protest against British control and a demand for self-governance. The Boston Tea Party sparked wider resistance, eventually leading to the American Revolution and the creation of the United States.

🌟 THE LONDON UNDERGROUND
🚇 The London Underground, often called "the Tube," is the world’s first underground railway system. It opened on January 10, 1863, with the Metropolitan Railway running between Paddington and Farringdon. Initially steam-powered, it aimed to ease congestion on London's crowded streets.
🇷🇺 The system grew rapidly, introducing electric trains in the 1890s. Iconic features like Harry Beck's schematic map (1931) and the roundel logo became symbols of modernity. During World War II, Tube stations served as bomb shelters.
🚞 Today, the Underground spans over 250 miles, connecting 11 lines and 272 stations (compare with 15 lines and 271 stations of the Moscow Metro). Serving millions daily, it remains integral to London's infrastructure, embodying innovation while preserving its rich history.
