Future historians will wonder why the victims of colonialism sided so cheaply with a white coloniser who rules 1/3 of the Asian land mass from a city in Europe.

I feel sorry for those Polish troops they sent to Iraq in 2003. The deal was that Poland would pretend to believe aluminum tubes posed a threat to the safety of the free world in exchange for us being there when Ivan came knocking and now the president is like “Well, Ivan *does* have a point.”

Idiots are again arguing ‘Kyiv has so few civilian casualties, Russia must be intentionally avoiding them’
So let’s repeat: Kyiv probably has the most experienced AD of any city in the world right now, &
The civilians have nearly unrivaled experience with & access to bomb shelters

If I am ever shot for a political reason I would just like to be clear here that I don't care about those reasons because I have still been brutally murdered
So the younger shooter, in a video submitted to the court, claims the shooting was aimed at the Zionist policies of Israel as a state. This is distinct from being an attack against Jewish people as a group. Once again the pro-Zionist coalition and right wing media jumped the gun and got it wrong.

We’ve created the self-regarding allegedly erudite child-molesting monsters from Vladimir Nabokov’s novel “Don’t Create The Self-Regarding Allegedly Erudite Child-Molesting Monster”
Not going to repost the images, but the first few feature the first paragraph of Lolita written in ink on the skin of a woman (or girl, impossible to tell)

"Why did God let Trump be president?"
He gave us two thousand years advance warning of the antichrist, made him the individual with the most readily accessible, up-to-date public information about his multiple shortcomings ever, and gave us a mulligan the first time.

There is quite a lot of polsci that finds that people do consistently perceive ethnic minorities as being more leftwing than they are, and yeah, I do sort of think it is just a 'well, you must be ultra-woke and economically leftwing, I mean *look* at you' kinda thing.

People who criticise fantasy novels for merging medieval technology and aesthetics with modern moral norms are quite frankly missing the point which is that that is exactly what people like about it and that it is good

What is this high school debate shit?
Everyone wants peace!
Adults just realize that any peace which lasts beyond a Russian re-arming / recruitment cycle has to be on terms that don't reward Russia's initial invasion with land and legitimacy, and which meaningfully deter future aggression.

every time Argentineans post their little crybully rants about the Falklands it's a reminder of the mentality that resulted in their incompetent fascist junta getting hundreds of their own conscript soldiers killed in an unprovoked invasion.

Let me remind you we are currently supporting Ukraine, a country that is being illegally invaded. The Maduro regime is an awful communist dictatorship. But it doesn't make illegal invasions ok.
