social justice is not just beliefs held by the population, it rests on economic foundations which were swept away by the fall of the warsaw pact.

it is always correct to steal gay porn from work :very-smart:

tfw when your revolution was actually the placebo run :ussr-cry:

Necromancer: i will never stop restarting the Tolkein struggle session :sicko-pig:

thanks for typing this out, much much better than i wouldve done

there isn’t mass prosecution of christians in China, but there should be :very-smart:

:turtle-pogger:

never heard Anowara before what it from

true imperialists get scurvy on a boat drinking sour beers before bombarding unarmed coastal villages with massive guns.

not like those mewling nomadic types taking on opponents with numerical & technological parity

:data-laughing: exactly what i thought when i saw the second post :tito-laugh:

benders made up the entire police force & the governing body. even in the text of the show unsympathetic to the equal-guys those conditions are textbook intolerable. fuckssake the avatar’s son whose tribe is all of 6 people got an equal say to the earth, water, and fire people

its not necessarily a yank’s fault they’re uneducated about what their country has done but anyone who lacks the compunction to ask “why is this person chanting death to america?” and not take their answer from a idiot news host ‘they hate us for our freedoms’—these people don’t deserve a voice on the meaning of a slogan from a country they know nothing about in a language they don’t speak.

(also im not DtB im just defending the formula, which especially should be unproblematic here because we’re aware of the context of the phrase)

the iranians have never meant “yankees should be genocided” death to <country> has always been about opposition to imperialism and neocolonialism.

some navel-gazing arrogant americans think half the world literally wants them dead but they’re the most incurious hateful people imaginable so their opinion doesn’t really count on whether victims of the yankees’ slogans hurt their feelings

:shocked-pikachu: whaaaaaaaaat???

ive always suspected this, its just socially acceptable to be racist about animals who can’t punch you in the mouth

it was different before! it was more artistic 20 years ago!

:thonk: which is what they were saying 20 years ago. and 20 years before that. Snobs have been complaining about lowbrow pushing out highbrow since like, the advent of the talky. And then in a couple decades it gets reappraised as ‘oh that schlock we were hating on is actually Super Art and the shit coming out now doesn’t compare’.

But they can never talk about why this is, even though its obvious and has been the same fucking process the entire time. Hollywood has always always always been about getting asses in seats, never artistic achievement. You want to see what artist-lead film is go back in time to the fucking Soviet Union.

God these nostalgia hogs make me sick

as a casual 9/11 fan i have to wait for a real die-hard to collate info and put a narrative together or i’m just :vivian-shrug:

this is some juicy stuff for sure

Posted the clearest footage of world trade tower 2 getting struck ever

this was unclear to me i saw that post and was like… so? lol.

but to be clear there isn’t a real thesis i’m missing, just a constellation of suspiciousness?

:blob-no-thoughts: explain this to me as if i had no idea what this post is trying to tell me

:sweat: seeing that title before reading the comm

Tatar Legion collab’d during the occupation, the government deported a bunch of minorities from Crimea at the same time to ‘secure’ the area around Sevastopol. I guess its comparable to a southern Kaliningrad.

The resettlement program was not needed and fucked up. The idea was for internal security (why the NKVD did it) because the party got away from ingratiating itself to minorities and lifting them up over what amounted to neo-russification. A goddamn SS brigade who would’ve been torn apart by their neighbors post-war isn’t an excuse.
