They didn’t invent Nazis until after he died
He died in 1937. The Nazi party was founded in 1919.
um.. lenin, that's a little too low to be xi's arm :hyperflush:
rapidly folding dollar bills in front of my child like i'm in 4th grade again to recreate the experience of being 9 when 9/11 happened :pepe-silvia: :rust-darkness: :stalin-smokin: :pannekoek-point:
Earlier today I had a discussion on here where I linked to an anthropological research paper from 1985. On 4klan they just hurl racial slurs at each other and post "infographics" where they drew stars of david in MS paint over the entire CNN board of directors.
I liked the meditations on empathy, etc. I have no objections to the vast majority of the article... until it talks about current events, stripped of context. The article was perfectly good until it started talking about the present war in ukraine in a totally amaterial and unexamined way.
Quote:
The brutal British empire, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the current Russian invasion of Ukraine—in each case, the perpetrators think of themselves as acting rightly against an evil enemy.
This is how the soldiers might be taught to think of themselves, but this is not how the leadership thinks of themselves. The leadership does not trouble themselves with morality, only strategy. Putin does not believe he is acting "rightly" against an "evil" enemy. He believes he is defending the Russian border from NATO expansion. Anything beyond that is rhetoric.
we are just as reluctant to apply serious self-scrutiny as Vladimir Putin is to question his bizarre fantasies about the need to “de-Nazify” Ukraine.
denazification of Ukraine might be a cynical rhetorical justification for Putin's broader strategic goal of preventing NATO expansion.... But the need to denazify Ukraine is not a "bizarre fantasy" for the people DPR/LPR when the USA has been in bed with Ukrainian nazis since WW2, and has been overtly using them as pawns in their geopolitical games since 2014. The need to denazify Ukraine is not a "bizarre fantasy" for the LGBTQ+, the Roma, the Jews, and the Proletarians of Ukraine, who are victims of far right violence just as much as the breakaway republics. Even Zelensky preferred peace to the present situation, but has had US-backed fascist guns to his head this whole time, preventing him from pursuing this the way he may have wanted to.
a time he and his wife went to see a movie in Boston in the early 1950s.
christ he's soooooo old. my grandparents were born ~ 1950 and I'm ~ 30. sorry to be childish about this, but it's astonishing that anyone can live that long. :chomsky-yes-honey:
that's relieving. good thing there isn't a problematic history of depicting an ethnic group as simultaneously greedy bankers and violent revolutionaries
the narrative is centred around a goblin rebellion
and in case you have forgotten, this is how Rowling depicts Goblins
i find it tragic that the propaganda is so powerful people were fooled into dying for NATO and neo nazis.
it's like the anti-panopticon
it's like the anti-panopticon
the New York Times was talking about Adolf Hitler as early as 1922
