To be fair, you cant fully divorce it from imperialism. It was an ex Marxist and ex follower of Lumumba, vs Mobutu, a CIA installed leader who started out as a comprador but eventually became a nuisance for them.

I don't think any of them ever looked into it that much in the first place, same for Ughyurs, and as time goes by they still won't. It's not a large enough issue to warrant an Iraq-esque reversal. Ukraine is a proxy war, Ughyurs are just a small footnote in American propaganda against China.
When it all blows over and we are all proven right, they won't even care enough to discuss it. They'll look at you like you're being a weirdo for even bringing it up, and then they'll say hey, I don't know the details, I'm sure both sides did bad things, but that was the past. Let's just move on!
How often do all the cold war proxy wars across Africa and Latin America reach mainstream discourse these days? Pretty much never. You get IRAN contra sometimes, and Cuba - because their cold war is still ongoing.
they're going orchestrate a 9/11 sequel
why bother dooming
it's a pleasant surprise
let it be
seriously I would support women only open carry laws
and guns aren't even legal where I'm from
not even joking I would permit women to commit acts of vigilantism if I was in power
catcallers boil my piss... it should be legal to puncture the tyres of offenders at the very least
if you catch their license plate it should be the job of the DVLA to impound their car
what grip is that
does it replace the cigarette with a hammer
the thing about this kid who they keep going on about - yes, at face value it's perhaps a bit insane to have someone so inexperienced to perform such a large role - but so far, it seems he's been fine?
Time will tell, but doesn't it seem like the job is maybe not that difficult? Maybe young people are quite capable? Maybe the position is so bureaucratic it's pointless?
therrrre it is
thank you much appreciated

in all fairness BLM being co opted by white liberals has outed a lot of old school rappers as total libs too
Obscenities were apparently hurled as Mr Bessent ridiculed Doge’s work and Mr Musk dismissed the Treasury secretary as a “Soros agent”.
The Elon/Trump fallout saga is going to be awesome

Ok, it was yesterday... 25 January 1995:
Manchester United footballing legend Eric Cantona kung fu kicked a fascist football hooligan, Matthew Simmons, during a match against Crystal Palace. Simmons, who attended far-right National Front and British National Party rallies and has a raft of violent convictions including attacking a football coach who called him "Nazi scum", allegedly heckled Cantona as a "foreigner".
Cantona's maternal grandfather was from Barcelona, and fought against the forces of fascist general Francisco Franco during the Spanish civil war, before being forced to flee to France after the nationalist victory.
Years later appearing on the BBC, Cantona was asked what the highlight of his career was. He replied "When I did the kung fu kick on the hooligan... I think maybe it's like a dream for some, you know sometimes to kick these kind of people. So I did it for them. So they are happy."
At the press conference afterwards, he cryptically said:
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea."
'deadliest massacre of Jewish people since the holocaust...', 'brutally ripped', 'murdered by Hamas'
Vs
Palestinians 'lost their lives'... No mention of Israel's role.
Fucking egregious. I guess you can't say 'deadliest massacre of Muslims since... Afghanistan... or Iraq... or the Gulf War... or Palestine any year since it's inception.
