I feel so bad for people in my industry who are not leaving the USA. Until I talk to them and they dismiss other options haughtily.

Even if settler-colonialism was common throughout the ancient world, that doesn’t excuse it happening today

It’s important to make a distinction between the “imperialism” of the Roman empire and the 20th century imperialist structure which coalesced in the 20s-60s, likewise we must distinguish between the existence of torture throughout history (often tenuously supported by Victorian hobnobbing and the ability to make a shitty little website that shows up on Google and little else) and the trail of forensic evidence we have stretching back from the SBU’s detention centers where they electrocuted babushkas thru the kidneys (I’m not kidding) all the way to Malaysia

European colonialism is an entirely new phase of history that began 1000 years ago.

for liberals to attack the actual problems with russian elections, they’d have to use criticisms of democratic countries which would resonate with their own population about where they themselves vote. a total mythology is required to replace actual russian history and current events because reality itself is i guess you could say pretty radicalizing vs information acquired via “economics” and capitalist press

im entirely deepfake now it’s so cheap
