  • The obligatory glazing of America for press freedom really put the icing on the cake lol

  • Jiang Xueqin: a CIA-created doppelganger?

    Jump

  • Can't lie, I was initially sucked into a few of his videos when it seems he got a huge push in the Youtube algo. I started seeing major red flags when he attributed every country's entire motivation to religion. For, at least supposedly, teaching in China, I was thinking some kind of class analysis would come into play, even if he didn't align with the CPC. But no, he doesn't touch on capital or class at all. The world in his eyes is driven completely by individual psychology and religious beliefs.

    He went on a strange rant in one video about how he believes our ability to think is inexplicable in a purely material world view, and how he believes he gets his writing ideas from a higher power.

  • 1 out of 3 Gen Zs in America like communism! Let's go Gen Z!!

    Jump

  • There's a pretty stark contrast in the complete cognitive-block people from my parent's generation have, vs Gen Z. I think the fact that we're growing up in a post-USSR world really influences that. We weren't exposed to the same propaganda around communism as our parents, and with social media, have seen the lies of the empire more directly exposed than ever.

  • Adelaide writers' festival cancelled after almost all writers pull out over banned Palestinian

  • Really great to see such unanimous action, this is exactly how a boycott can make an impact.

    What I think is also notable here is Dr Abdel-Fatta has taken a lot of public flack for sharing the details of a so-called "dox" of the J.E.W.I.S.H creatives and academics group. This was a WhatsApp group that organized with the purpose of defaming and ruining people who spoke out against Israel after launching its genocide following Oct. 7th.

    In particular, they organized to pressure the ABC to fire Antoinette Lattouf due to her criticisms of Israel, but specifically due to her questioning the veracity of captioning on a video of protesters in Sydney, indicating a chant of "Gas the jews." Well to no one's surprise, even the police acknowledged that the protesters were not shouting gas the jews, and Lattouf was proven correct.

    But apparently exposing a malicious, organized harassment group, looking to ruin people's careers for practicing basic journalism is antisemitism...

  • House Republican introduces bill to let Trump annex Greenland

    Jump

  • I really anticipate the EU will simply hand over Greenland in the end. There will be much hand wringing and statements decrying the situation between then and now, but the political leaders of Europe are miserable US Bootlickers. The mega corporations that run Europe will never allow a real schism between them and the US to form.

  • How many of you were taught that the 'North's invasion of the South' (1950) and not the 'Jeju Island massacre' (1948), was the start of the Korean War?

    Jump

  • In my experience, the only things that were significantly covered past that were: The Holocaust (I read maybe near 10 books on the subject, far more than on any other topic), a very white-washed version of the civil rights movement where we really only talked vaguely about segregation and MLK Jr., and 9/11.

    Jump

  • Absolutely, my experience is very similar. It's pretty stark how much more vague history we were taught became covering anything more recent than WWII. Granted, everything before that was heavily skewed to the American Imperialist perspective anyway, but we at least went more in-depth in events that happened. I could tell you more about the start of WWI than any details about any post-WWII war coming out of high school.

    Jump

  • Learning about the Jeju island massacre was the root for me breaking away from the western propaganda around the DPRK. To be honest though, as an American, we really weren't taught about the Korean war at all. We covered the Vietnam war, pretty much just the domestic situation, focusing especially on the presidents, but completely glossed over the Korean war. It was basically a footnote in our curriculum.

    Zelensky, and the other European leaders, have been out of touch with reality for quite some time now I'm afraid lol

  • The Neoliberal Holocaust

    Jump

  • While not directly related to impacts from the fall of the USSR, Endless Holocausts by David Michael Smith is an excellent and very thorough book detailing the massive amounts of deaths caused by the USA both internally and externally. It's a great counter to the claim that communism kills millions of people, while capitalism doesn't.
