This video about German "Guilt Pride" has a very different take than this book/author. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy2ju_qPtuM

The stock market is on fire. Productivity is strong, and start-ups are booming. The United States’ GDP growth rate is double that of the European Union. The Biden administration helped create that economy.

Is this an admission about Nordstream? is-this

this is basically the whole liberal Dem mindset.

we are better stewards of Pax Americana than the other options (disregard all the violence and death we are doing) capitalist-woke

I found out about chapo.chat somehow a little while after the ban happened. I wasn't on r/cth much at all, but the idea of a new lefty lemmy instance sounded pretty cool. It just felt like my kinda place, and I've learned a lot here. I enjoy the full spectrum of shit posts to effort posts on offer. Comrades being comrades online, what's not to love?

it is for anyone that wants to argue with liberals based on data and reality, I think there's a few of those here

No intent to 'downplay' civilian deaths is contained here. Both conflicts are listed as equally as possible based on the data available. This is only intended to highlight the contradictions of liberal rhetoric with reality regarding these two conflicts.

I've noticed this on mobile already. Maybe it's just my carrier. I have to use wifi to view many of the smaller media outlets that are sympathetic to Palestine. When not using wifi, most of them just timeout.

From the Stadium to the Canal, Amsterdam will be free!

 

The Federation is helping a planet transition out of capitalism to post-scarcity, and it's basically a huge celebration.

Is anti-Zionism a sin? We asked the rabbi whose viral Yom Kippur sermon begged the question

A Q&A with Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch of Stephen Wise Free Synagogue

Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch has made advancing the Zionist cause a focal point of his work for more than 30 years at the forefront of Reform Judaism. A former IDF tank commander, Hirsch helped lead the push for the Reform movement’s official support of Israel in 1997. At Stephen Wise Free Synagogue, where he has served as senior rabbi since 2004, support for Israel is in the mission statement.

But lately, Rabbi Hirsch has been wondering where it all went wrong with young American Jews. Since the Oct. 7 attack, he has used his pulpit to reflect on the trend of Jewish anti-Zionism, and the “uncomfortable reality” that many anti-Zionists are products of Reform institutions. He returned to that territory with a Yom Kippur sermon that charged anti-Zionist Jews with “turning your backs on our people.”

 
 

Reposting this for the anniversary, let me know if there are any more links that should be added related to this topic. I believe the preponderance of the evidence suggests that the IOF killed more settlers on 10/7 than Hamas did.

mild effort post about the Disney propaganda film and a link to the trailer:
https://hexbear.net/post/3607696

 

one of the cultural artifacts of American Imperialism that is still highly relevant today

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Through_Air_Power_(film)

Victory Through Air Power is an American animated documentary propaganda film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by United Artists on July 17, 1943. It is based on the 1942 book Victory Through Air Power by Alexander P. de Seversky.

On December 8, 1941, Disney studios were essentially converted into a propaganda machine for the United States government. While most World War II films were created for training purposes, films such as Victory Through Air Power were created to catch the attention of government officials and to build public morale among the U.S. and Allied powers. Among the notables who decided after seeing the film that Seversky and Disney knew what they were talking about were Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The phrase "terror bombing" entered the English lexicon towards the end of World War II and many strategic bombing campaigns and individual raids have been described as terror bombing by commentators and historians. Because the term has pejorative connotations, some, including the Allies of World War II, have preferred to use euphemisms such as "will to resist" and "morale bombings".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_bombing

This Disney propaganda film inspired the bombing campaigns of civilians and urban centers by the US and UK during WW2.

Also a bit of context on the author of the book:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_de_Seversky

Of noble Russian parentage, Seversky was born in Tiflis, Russian Empire (now Tbilisi, Georgia). He entered a military school at age 10. Seversky's father was one of the first Russian aviators to own an aircraft and by the age of 14 his father had already taught him how to fly.

During the 1917 Revolution, Seversky was stationed in St. Petersburg and remained in uniform at the request of the commander-in-chief of the Baltic Fleet. In March 1918, he was selected as an assistant naval attaché in the Russian Naval Aviation Mission to the United States. Seversky departed via Siberia and while in the U.S., decided to remain there rather than return to a Russia torn apart by the Revolution. Settling in Manhattan, he briefly operated a restaurant.

As World War II approached, Seversky became engrossed in formulating his theories of air warfare. Shortly after the Attack on Pearl Harbor, he wrote Victory Through Air Power, published in April 1942, advocating the strategic use of air bombardment. [4] The best-selling book (No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list, appearing first in mid-August 1942 and remaining in first place for four weeks) with five million copies sold. The book's popularity and hard-hitting message led to Walt Disney adapting the book into an animated motion picture (1943) of the same name where Seversky (who also served as the film's technical consultant) provided live-action commentary.

This is the proto holden-bloodfeast and/or Dr. Strangelove before the a-bomb even existed.

Palestinian National Authority (PNA) President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday called for sanctions against the Zionist entity in the ongoing genocide it is committing against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

 

Description text:

"In Mdou Moctar, it is not out of the ordinary for well-laid plans to collapse at the last-minute. For example, this happens a lot with flights being canceled. Maybe one of us doesn't get a visa to travel somewhere in time. Maybe all of us don't. Maybe someone at the embassy in Niger puts the visa sticker on page #1 – you know, that important page that has all your personal information like your name or birthday. As a result, we've all gotten good at reacting and maneuvering, and adapting an initial plan into something … even better!

When we got to Agadez winter of 2023, the first thing we did was drive around all together and scope out locations. We walked up a small building that overlooked the famous Agadez mosque and said ‘Alright, we're gonna film here as the sun comes up.' Another idea was to film under a well known bridge that connects the road from Agadez to Arlit – 'Let's set up a generator and play here! The kids will love it.' Those were two examples that didn't end up happening because it was either not allowed or we overslept. That's where the creative part comes in.

On our way to film at a location out in the bush, Mdou suddenly stops the car to talk to a guy walking a couple camels. They exchanged numbers. Unbeknownst to me, Mdou was plotting to get 50 camels to show up at the king of Agadez's palace where the famous Agadez mosque is.

This was an idea we had discussed, but much like some of our other concepts, I just kinda said 'cool' and assumed it would fall through.

On our last day together in Agadez, we showed up to the Sultan’s palace, set up, and then waited around for a few hours. Was the show gonna happen? Maybe a few hours later, 15-20 men riding camels showed up. I didn't count because I was so shocked Mdou was able to pull it off – calling this random guy we met in the desert with some camels, who then made some calls to get a bunch of Tuaregs (the youngest was probably 5 years old) to ride out from their village 3-5 hours away to be there for this special performance! Holy shit.

When we started playing, Tuaregs dressed in traditional Agadez clothing armed with hand drums started dancing and drumming. There were even a couple friends of ours who showed up with some swords and performed a traditional dance together as we played. This was all totally unplanned. Mdou, Ahmoudou, Souleymane and I are all wearing the signature Mdou Moctar colors - Tuareg purple mixed with white, which is the same color of the Mdou Moctar bird symbol." - Bassist, Producer, Mikey Coltun
