Very cool! Thank you. I just found that exact book recommended by others as well. I'll have a look.

I just saw a text saying something along the lines: "concentrations camps, as seen by the soviets and germans" and it shook me. Even natopedia does not list the soviet union as users of concentration camps. Is there any good ressource to refute such a stupid claim?

I dont think prison is an appropriate term. Although the prison system in the US is arguably a gruesome torture industry, this has much more similarities with the german concentration camps. The chaotic, inhumane housing of masses of people in the worst of conditions with no regard to human rights and sometimes even active participation in torture and murder.

Btw concentration camps were (in the beginning) not where they primarily killed people. They detained them under very similar conditions and a lot of them died there a most gruesome death but they had "Vernichtungslager" as well which had the primary use of industrially killing men, women and children, burning them and or burying them (sometimes alive).

This is fascism. There are no two ways about it. We are watching the beginning of another reich. Capitalism is pulling out the knives.

For the most part, he’s not wrong to do so. Unlike in most other administrations where the president’s office is a tightly-controlled environment with only a select few top aides given so-called “walk-in privileges,” Trump’s Oval is the center of his world of friends, confidantes, advisers and employees who often mill about nearby in the West Wing, even when they might not have much to do there.

I mean, sure. Thats totally normal, right?

Awesome! I run a luanti server (essentially open source minecraft).

There's a new law which is supposed to come. Something about registers. It creeped me out so hard I didnt read all of it. Wife said they are starting with addicts who wer stationary "for their own benefit". Well, that worked great in the past.

In germany they are starting to track disabled people btw. Not giving me the creeps at all. /s

"They're walking wall street bankers onto the ice"

I dont see a problem wit this.

Damn! I'm not thinking straight today. Its terribly hot and i'm stressed. Thanks for reminding me.

Honest question: is there a "tankiepedia" of sorts where you can read solely non nato perspectives so to speak?

YIKES. This reads ultra dystopian.

I suppose they're finally dropping the act now.
