That’s what they eventually did. They do that with other countries as well.

I’m not really into playing 4x games multiplayer. But I did play Stellaris multiplayer. It can get pretty frantic if you don’t pause every now and then, but a far cry from boring.

Most people here are not capitalists. They’re workers like us and would benefit from socialism. But they’ve been subjected to nationalist and capitalist propaganda their entire lives, and that makes socialism become the boogeyman. It makes it hard for them to see how much they would benefit.

About damned time. I was checking the LGBT travel advisories a few months ago, and was surprised that the US was green. Absolutely no way should anyone be travelling to Florida.

Yeah, you should only get your news from right wing media owned by oligarchs. That’s how you know it’s true.

Lincoln has just been whitewashed all to hell. He didn’t free the slaves out of any moral reason. It was just a good piece of propaganda, and he was really just railroaded into it.

I would also like to point you to Lincoln’s military service and the largest mass execution in US history. Their crime? Not starving to death. He’s just as much of a genocidal scumbag as the rest of them.

Not from hexbear, but no, of course they don’t. I would wager that you would have a very hard time finding anyone on hexbear or lemmygrad that has anything but contempt for all US presidents. A bunch of monsters, the lot of them.

Caitlin Johnstone had a pretty good article about how this happens. But yes, all media is propaganda. It’s impossible for it not to be. The New York Times doesn’t even attempt to make the appearance of not being the mouthpiece of the US government though.

This just in, it turns out that the Holocaust was bad for minorities.. This article just screams of genocide denial.

The average American’s overton window is so frickin narrow that they can’t tell left from right. Everything that’s not liberal conservative just looks like an extremist to them.

The sentence was so dumb that I just assumed it was Trump until I saw your post and checked the author. Are these people deliberately trying to sound like Trump now?

And they, who had already divested themselves of their white capes, astonished us with their beards, their mustaches. The Red Star stood out on their fur hats. And there were female soldiers, similar to the male soldiers, armed as they were, and driving mules hitched to sleds. They surrounded us, as surprised as we were. And already we were “tovarish” (comrades).

… For two days I took advantage of the sunshine to go and wash in the snow. I was rather weak, but how can I describe my joy that once again I was free, that once again I could walk without holding myself at attention among the Blocks. That it was good to sit myself down on one of the benches on the perimeter. This was the first time that something like this had happened to me, and in the observation towers it was Soviets who were standing guard."

Even if that were completely true, the island of Taiwan has been under the rule of mainland China since 1683. That’s longer than the existence of the United States. This would be like if the CSA had occupied an island off the coast of the USA, and Britain had guaranteed their independence instead of letting the US Civil War come to an end. I don’t think it matters whether the PRC has a claim to the island older than 1683 or not. It’s STILL under Chinese control, and the ROC needs to be wiped out. We can talk about whether it should remain under Chinese control or not after that happens.

Glad to have you back! They defederated from us months ago.

It was the NATO puppet West Germany, who reimprisoned 100,000 gay holocaust survivors. Not the Soviet Union.

EDIT: Yes, I like history: !daily_us_history@lemmygrad.ml

Every day I see liberals cheering for fascists, I move further left.

I’m sorry, I have a really hard time reading your post. But I gather that you wanted to talk about crimes against the people instead of external entities? That’s sort of what I intended to do with the comm I created. A daily reporting of the US’ past human rights violations/crimes through its short history, in the style of western Tienanmen Square articles:

I’ve only been doing it for about a week and a half, but I already have a couple of posts there specifically relating to suppression of speech/media that doesn’t agree with the western narrative. The HUAC inquisition of anti-war protesters, and the attempted character assassination of a prominent journalist.

I haven’t fully decided on what I’m talking about tomorrow, but I’m leaning against talking about The Camden 28, so I’ll talk about it a bit here. They were a group that attempted to sabotage the draft for the Vietnam war. The FBI had them dead to rights, but the jury refused to convict. The war was THAT unpopular, but the government still took people off the streets and sent them halfway around the world to kill people who did nothing to them. That sounds pretty totalitarian to me.

Which is honestly really surprising to me, given the sorry state of housing in Canada.

Blahaj is innocent! The trans community just adopted him because he has a pink mouth, white underbelly and blue surface. These resemble the colours of the trans flag. To the best of my knowledge, Ikea is not behind this. They might be capitalising on it now, but it’s not really much different than when Subaru noticed that a not-insignificant number of their customers were lesbians and started marketing specifically to them.

I did already. But I was wrong, and that’s not what’s at stake here. This is about giving parents complete control over their kids online activity. So you could censor them completely from reading anything about LGBT issues for example.
