‘‘Dictator’’…
I really don’t know how someone can look at ex-KGB spy who slays nazis, leader who lifted hundreads of millions of people from poverty, leader who does everything he can for his small country despite the sanctions, leader who survived god knows how many assassination attempts and saved his country from terrorists not to become like other countries in Middle East and say ‘‘THEY ARE DICTATORS AND BAD GUYS!!!’’
And then look at old senile war criminals who shake hands with air, old witch who provokes WW3, unhinged colonialists not giving a single shit about Natives while bombing and pillaging every country in Africa they can, clowns with wtf hairstyles, SS descendants, ghouls who justify their class A war criminal grandfathers, clowns who play piano with their own dicks and say ‘‘YEAH, THEY ARE BASTION OF FREEDUM AND DEMOCRAZY AND GOOD GUYS!!!’’

Gotta love when 3rd party entities try to tell you what another person or organization’s ideas, thoughts and opinions are, when you can just go look up for yourself the information that they themselves lay out and provide.
Nat Geo just jealous of the only person in the last 1000+ years to have magic… smh.
My favourite episode of Blue Planet was the one with imperialist propaganda
Which one was that?
Fortunately, it was just a joke – no politics aside from the basics of climate change, IIRC
Oh okay. Got really worried there for a second, since it’s BBC and all
Luckily, I haven’t noticed any explicit anticommunism in any of their documentaries about animals (they do have a lot of good content on that particular subject)

Remember, Nat Geo isn’t a valid source for scientific. There’s no peer review. It’s people magazine for people who like science and travel. The best example of this is that they fund Dr. Nazir Ibrahim’s research on Spinosaurus, and everytime he publishes the conclusions are the most extreme conclusions they can be, because that drives traffic for Nat Geo. It’s to the point that it frustrates a lot of other paleontologists, to the point some papers have titles that are one step removed from “you’re wrong Nazir stop making us write frivolous papers correcting your bs.”
Not that it was ever good (as a kid I used to read back issues all the way to the 60s at my local library), but it’s gotten exponentially worse ever since NewsCorp bought it.
Back in the day it was great for getting at least some glimpses about what else was going on from a generally less political and more science and cultural lens. In part because there wasn’t any sort of way to actively search for info about a lot of topics.
Yep, I remember their articles on (say) plant life in the Amazon being decent, but their articles on the USSR being pretty hit-or-miss. In fact, reading these articles was what first led me to start exploring communism – because of the way they’d report on something clearly good the USSR was doing, but try to spin it in a way that made it sound frightening and scary. The hypocrisy bugged me, and made me wonder if there was more being held back.
