Useful tip to understanding certain things but like most Chinese and Koreans and Asians in general don’t think about Japanese atrocities that often if at all. Only time they do is mostly in response to the Japanese themselves being really really weird about it.

It’s bad, and justified American guilt over our inexcusable treatment of Japanese Americans should not cause us to ignore victims of Imperial Japan - 20 million or more dead and the most horrific atrocities, worse than the Nazis by far
People don't appreciate the fact that the crimes of the Japanese fascists are on par with those of the Nazis. I think people overlook this because of white supremacy, they don't see the lives of Asians as equal to those of Europeans.
I'm watching a documentary about the Japanese war crimes of WW2.

Getting educated in horrible history.

The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, so the Second World was gone. Development pulled nations out of the adjective "underdeveloped." Is Brazil third world? South Africa? China? South Korea?

What they mean, of course, is "brown and black." 3/

People who unleashed these tools either wanted the chaos or they were focused so much on whether they can do it that they didn't stop to think whether they should.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

This is just straightforwardly insulting to anyone who hears it
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

Since Avdiyivka, when they have really found out what organized drone defense does to assaulting armored columns, they have changed the strategic approach to taking cities.

Now they bet on slowly stepping into encircling cities.

So Zaporizhzhia push is very much possible.

Exactly right. People want to make this about language and forbidden words, but it's really about prosocial and antisocial behavior. To encourage the return of the R slur, as far too many on the left have embraced, is to promote antisocial behavior that makes society worse for everyone.
“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”
Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.
