i think it was during the time of nixon, i think i heard it on the deprogram podcast but looking it up it seems that a reporter imbedded with nixon had said he done that

throwback to that us president getting on wicked benders and his guests getting mighty uncomfortable about him drunkenly speaking about he could easily nuke the world

worth noting that after the soviet coup of the communist government in afghanistan, there was a mass boycott of the olympics held in moscow

i guess you could follow the same process for lentils or even cut lentils into the rice soup for nutrition and stuff

https://www.budgetbytes.com/ might tickle your fancy?

for me i've always had alot of congee lol which is like a rice soup/porridge, soak/wash rice and then throw it into the freezer into ice cube trays (the freezing of the water absorbed rice will shatter the rice grain) then boil that frozen waterlogged rice cube into your favourite broth. or you can skip the freezing process and use the instant pot porridge setting.

  • i've found the easiest thing was canned chicken from costco, with some msg/chicken bouillon was the quickest broth that is my favourite. i prefer it thinned down (basically a thicker chicken soup), then you can throw toppings like veggies or bacon/eggs ontop

"Marketplace of ideas" for fascists and nazi spawn but not for anyone we don't actually like.

i'm pretty sure this is a real person

edit: not that i'm saying that all people of the UA are nazis.

tbh this meme refers to the recent hunka debacle with how suddenly there was a massive influx of liberals in my country trying to blur the line, stating that the 14 waffen SS were simply fighting the USSR and how hitler was a "lesser evil".

i don't get why you feel this would be immediately modern Russian propaganda, this is literally a ww2 unit lmao.

not mine i just found it amusing that eventually we'll probably see some unironic post stating that "Hitler just wanted to solve the housing crisis, it was a difficult time, it was complicated, he was in a rock and a hard place, tough decisions were made"

excerpt context: after the UA government had decided to add to the list the 110th birthday of nazi collaborator bandera to the list of days worthy of commemoration.

“Glorifying the person whose men committed countless heinous crimes is an insult to the victims and an unthinkable distortion of the history of the world’s most horrific genocide," said Dr. Zuroff.

“Unfortunately in recent years, Ukraine has been one of the major propagators of a distorted version of Holocaust history which seeks to hide or minimize crimes committed by Ukrainian nationalists,” he added.

Weitzman added, "It is clear that Ukraine is choosing to rehabilitate antisemitism and to censor history.” He noted that, along with the Bandera national holiday, the Ukrainian region of Lviv announced that 2019 would be “Stepan Bandera Year” and that a book exploring the antisemitic actions of politician Simon Petlura, who led 1919 pogroms against Jews, was banned.

“By joining with other countries that are rewriting history Ukraine is showing how little it has learned from the tragedies of the past. These actions are a disgraceful affirmation of Ukraine’s darkest past and an absolute rejection of democratic values,” Weitzman concluded.

mind you there are streets named him. You aren't even slightly suspicious that maybe the narrative we're being told on MSM is fabricated?

edit: i should make explicit. this meme is prodding at liberals humanizing the soldier of the 14th Waffen SS (1st Galicia) recently honoured in the canadian house of commons. this meme is showing off a ww2 ukrainian nazi unit in a fashion similarly done with the "brave soldiers of afghanistan" who would later become the taliban.

the joke is, we would eventually glorify and humanize them as well with enough time

I don’t know if this is hollow, corny cheerleading, but I think it’s important to remind myself and others. Sometimes a shitty future seems inevitable; it’s easy to imagine capitalism and oppression consuming more and more of our planet and our humanity. The momentum of these forces is so great that they can seem unsurmountable, but we must always remember the truth: there is no power greater than the people.

“It reminds us of John Dewey's claim that, "As long as politics is the shadow cast on society by big business, the attenuation of the shadow will not change the substance."

In the US, the two-party political system has proven extremely effective in this regard. Aside from differences on social issues like abortion and gay marriage, as well as socioeconomic issues like unemployment insurance and public assistance, both parties ultimately embrace capitalist/corporatist interests in that they both serve as facilitators for the dominant classes: The Republican Party in its role as forerunner, pushing the limits of the capitalist model to the brink of fascism; and the Democratic Party in its role as governor, providing intermittent degrees of slack and pull against this inevitable move towards a "corporate-fascistic state of being." — “Calibrating the Capitalist State in the Neoliberal Era: Equilibrium, Superstructure, and the Pull Towards a Corporate-Fascistic Model” Colin Jenkins
