In addition to being the flag of petty bourgeois gentiles like Theodor Fritsch.

I don’t know if this is worth announcing, but I found it mildly interesting how Ye’s comments coincide with the alt‐right’s resurgence on Twitter.

Fixed.

Which game is this?

I was joking. I am guessing that Canada’s compulsory education’s coverage of the Third Reich is mediocre at best, and if that’s the case then there’s no way that its coverage of the Empire of Japan could be any better. It’s also still arguable that Chancellor Adolf Schicklgruber caused more deaths than Emperor Hirohito, but the estimates are variable.

Personally, I think that pinning a systemic mass murder on any particular individual is the wrong approach to take anyway. Aside from the inaccurate implication that the politician micromanaged every aspect of the massacre, it leaves a great deal of other contributors blameless through omission, and it overlooks the benefits that the ruling classes (or the petite‐bourgeoisie) get from the destruction.

Wow, I had no idea that Emperor Hirohito was so popular in Canada.

Maybe @SpaceDogs@lemmygrad.ml can confirm.

Because neofascism (like its predecessor) is a nationalist phenomenon, and the nation where it grows imbues it with local characteristics. Polish neofascists and Ukrainian neofascists both despise Russians and Jews, but since Poland and Ukraine themselves have had a long and complicated history with each other, that isn’t enough to make them natural allies.

This is the ugliest map that I have ever seen.

The situation is similar in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic today:

Overall, some 2 million tons of bombs were dropped on Laos. These raids wiped out 353 villages and killed thousands of civilians, and they continue to kill now, as the Plain was saturated with hundreds of millions of “bombies”-tiny antipersonnel weapons specifically designed to kill and maim. With their 20-to-30 percent failure-to-explode rate, they remained as potential killers, and their casualty rate is still high, estimates running from hundreds to 20,000 or more per year, half of them deaths and half of the victims children.

MAG removed the LPDR’s 300,000th bomb yesteryear, and they’re still far from done. Needless to say, you won’t find too many anticommunists discussing this, let alone mentioning anticommunism’s relevance to it. (At best, they’ll briefly say that maybe they made a few little oopsies back then, then immediately forget about it.)

wtf I love anticommunism now

Personally, I wouldn’t say that capitalists are any ‘eviler’ for abusing us than wolves are for attacking bears… it’s not that wolves are motivated by ideology, sadism, or even a belief that they’re doing a service for wolfkind and will ascend to Doggy Heaven for attacking bears. They just care about surviving, and that’s something that they do to survive. Since that conflicts with bears’ own will to survive, naturally they fight back.

I apply the same perspective to capitalists: it’s not that they’re ‘evil’ (or ‘good’), it’s just that their struggle to survive conflicts with our own, so naturally I resist, because I also want to survive. I don’t need to look at the matter through highly subjective terms to understand or acknowledge its occurrence.

To put it another way, I don’t give a shit about them any more than they do about me.

Oh no.

What am I going to do.

Elon Musk is actively taking suspension requests from right wing provocateur and neofascist mouthpiece Andy Ngô, and has suspended @crimethinc.

Yes, I know that CrimethInc. is postleftist trash, but that’s beside the point: this is going to set a precedent for cracking down on dozens, if not hundreds of other antifascist accounts in the previsible future, while neofascists like the example that you shared are going to go untouched. Expect Twitter’s audience to undergo further homogenization soon.

Using a quote from the King of Dahomey to represent all Africans.

yeah okay

I want to say that this image is making fun of the fact that nobody accuses South Carolina’s elections of being unfree or unfair despite their consistency, but being a pisstorymemes entry the real explanation is probably less clever than that…especially considering how the author peddled this little nugget of wisdom:

Enslaving, killing and disenfranchising minorities was daily business of all nations during the 19th century, and a large part of the 20th too. It does not make the US uniquely evil.

In all probability, former Axis officials are responsible for starting this very rumor.

G‐d, what a fucking mess. Okay, so first off, the troublemaker responsible for publishing this is somebody called Bodo Hechelhammer, whose Wikipedia article says that he ‘confirmed for the first time on behalf of the BND that the Nazi war criminal Walther Rauff was a BND source from 1958 to 1962 and published all of the BND documents’, and has three citations to back that up. Sound pretty exciting? It gets even better: from 1956 to 1968 the president of the BND was none other than Reinhard…fucking…Gehlen…and if you don’t know the significance of that, read Christopher Simpson’s Blowback (specifically ch. 5):

According to Cox, the Gehlen Organization was the primary source of intelligence that claimed that “the Soviets were about to attack [West] Germany. . . . [That was] the biggest bunch of baloney then, and it is still a bunch of baloney today.”

Basically, a war hawk and former Axis official who repeatedly tried to bullshit people into starting a sequel to Operation Barbarossa (and some have gone so far as to blame him for the Cold War). As Hechelhammer’s paper itself says:

Furthermore, then BND President Reinhard Gehlen was personally interested in the developments in Cuba. In the late fifties, in light of the growing threat Cuba represented to the United States, and again in 1960/61, he reportedly held the opinion that the United States should respond with a preemptive military attack. His advice for the United States was „to swiftly annex this dangerous communist stronghold that serves also as perfect platform for Latin America‘s communist infiltration […]“ Gehlen dismissed concerns that a US military action against Cuba might trigger a third Word War.

And, just to top off this game of telephone, I couldn’t find any corroborating sources about the Republic of Cuba knowingly recruiting Ernst-Wilhelm Springer, Otto Ernst Remer, or anybody else who worked for the Schutzstaffel, which means that we probably have no option but to take the BND’s word for this. Fun!

So, what do you think? Does this sound trustworthy enough to you? You tell me.

I am honestly not sure what the author’s intention was here. The sentence ‘we need to eat and you kinda run things’ almost makes me suspect that the author made it in good faith, but the smart aleck lines from the British representative don’t.

I laughed, but only because the author seriously believes this.

This image is as cringeworthy as it is baffling.
