So we got “I’m a black nazi”, another dude caught doing blackface, and “the bad guys won WWII”

That’s what piracy is for

they would have rather worked together

The USSR spent the 30s trying to form an alliance with literally everyone in Europe to fight the guys who declared communism their enemy. The western allies expected Germany and Poland to invade the USSR, for them fascism was the answer to communism, hence why they gave the Sudetenland to Germany and Poland, made the Anglo-German declaration of 1938, and why Britain tried to join the Winter War, but was only stopped by Sweden refusing transit.

The USSR wasn’t trying to work with Germany, they were taking the only path that would give them time to build up and draw the rest of Europe into its war with Germany.

The dems haven’t been counter-messaging against the republicans bullshit. In 2022, the dem message was “fund the police”, and now they’re campaigning on shutting the border down and building a wall.

You can’t outflank the republicans from the right. People who like that shit are going to vote republican anyways. Dems can promise to transfer every school’s budget to the police, and republicans will still get those voters when they promise to double it.

Every time the dems talk about how tough they’ll be on crime, they’re admitting that the essential republican stance is better than their own.

Trump was worrying as he knows how to read a room and had some good lines in previous debates (who built the cages). Zero chance JD Vance manages to be normal for an entire hour. He’s probably got Laura Loomer prepping him.

West Wing has done irreparable brain damage to libs across the country. It’s why Obama’s advisors told him to give republicans half the discretionary budget when they had a supermajority and didn’t need a single republican vote, compromised/means tested every bill he promoted, and went with the bloodiest possible option in every foreign policy decision. In an episode of West Wing, all that compromise and appealing the the better nature of the opposition would reward you. In reality, it just demotivates your base and lets the opposition demand even more.

What did she do to the poor man?

I’m sure the next country the US wants to proxy into oblivion will learn from Ukraine, right?

That would be Taiwan, possibly alongside Korea and Japan, right?

Last I knew, Rojava was working the the Syrian government. They’re quite aware that if they had their own state, Turkey would invade and genocide them. Not that Turkey hasn’t been bombing them in Syrian territory anyway.

What kind of headline is that?

Did he also deny beating his wife and kicking puppies?

Nowhere in the article does it say who is alleging the guy was a Hamas leader in Lebanon.

Iran’s soft power is only as good as its word.

Everyone in Europe killing each other every generation predates capitalism. Capitalism did increase the scale though; after the fall of the western roman empire, we didn’t see armies of that size until Napoleon managed to draft a million men in a country of 30 million.

While that is the excuse he will use, the justification comes after, he’s going to slaughter thousands of civilians either way.

A settler-colony founded on ethnic cleansing claiming to be the victim, rich.

How else do you stop psychopaths who just leveled 6 apartment towers in the heart of Beirut if not with violence?

He was targeted by the most powerful groups in society, immigrants.

One day, this country’s most marginalized group, police, will rise up, and get the boot of homeless people off their necks.

Why are all of NYC’s mayors such reactionary pieces of shit, 10 miles to the right of the populace?

be critical of information coming in

The atomic unit of propaganda isn’t lies, it’s emphasis. Most propaganda doesn’t take the form of false information, but true facts spun in a certain way to build/reinforce a specific worldview in the viewer.

Tencent owns 11% of Reddit. Reddit is primarily a US propaganda operation.

Tiktok is wholly owned by a Chinese company, but unlike the rest of the world, the US version is hosted and managed entirely within the US, this (along with hiring a bunch of spooks and killing controversial things in the algo like BLM) was done in response to the Trump administration trying to come up with excuses to ban it.

I don’t see why China catching CIA agents would concern Americans. Most Americans are not CIA agents inside China.
