Many haven’t fully come to terms with it.

No... they haven't. Colonialism is not the past... it's the present. And the Netherlands still benefit from it to this very day.

When the USA joined the war it was already clear the axis had lost.

While I agree that that it was the Soviet and Chinese people that absorbed the greatest part of the Axis' powers warmaking ability (which western historians are apt to ignore), it's not true that the Axis had already lost the war by 1941. It's accurate to say that the US joined the war at a moment when the Axis forces had hopelessly overstretched themselves.

Well, let's face it... the "western world" is listening - and it likes what it is hearing. Just like the "western world" liked what it was hearing when Hitler and the Nazis explicitly stated what they were planning to do in the run-up to WW2.

There is such a thing as a "non-extremist" right-winger?

I have never understood the cishet obsession with virginity.

i can’t imagine anything worse in the world

I can... there are literally people who are willing to participate in Musk's Mars colonization fantasies. They stand about as much chance of success (or survival) as those people who got imploded in that Titanic sub - except their deaths won't be as quick and merciful.

The internet poses a threat to the status quo - my local library will never stock anything written by Emma Goldman or Noam Chomsky, but, thanks to the interent, this information is pretty much at my fingertips.

They don't like that - it's far too democratic for a status quo that wants to pretend it's democratic while ensuring that we never understand the idea of democracy in any way that doesn't keep them in power and in the money.

I know of no tattoo artist that would do that... and I know at least one that would beat the crap out you for even trying.

China is the number one

Sooo... a capitalist state?

Russia is near the top

Sooo... another capitalist state?

Fuck off tankies.

You don't know what a tankie is, do you?

I knew it was a bad day when we allowed liberals access to that word.

It's is a good idea... but it will get hijacked by right-wing grifters. That's how the whole "incel" thing got started.

Riiiiiight... and if Jewish people would just have stopped being Jewish the nazis would have given them a cozy homeland in Bavaria, right?
