It's only a hidden history because the NATO news engine buried the lede and treated the diplomatic negotiations as Russian propaganda

He even worked under Obama, if memory serves. There's other footage of this idiot harassing two Russian envoys, a man and a woman, in which he follows them around asking the man if this is his "whorish" companion and spouting other nastiness.

Big reason why I get kind of unhinged over rhetorically defending China

Trying to come up with a word to describe what it's doing. Strawmanjacketing?

You're the one treating it like a game because you think you can trade off on the lives of Palestinian children while simultaneously washing your hands of them.

How are you holding up comrade?

 

Hey there, so I've got an Audible account (:cringe: ) that I've been meaning to cancel. I'm procrastinating because I've got 1 credit left to spend on a book, and these assholes don't let you keep your credits when you cancel your subscription, but I don't know what to spend it on.

I'm going on a fairly long drive through drought-affected, wildfire-burned areas and I don't want to be ruminating on the end of the world the whole time. Trying to climb out of the depressive rut that I've been in.

I know the situation is objectively bad, but to me, resolving the cycle of grief after acceptance means finding meaning, and I find meaning in looking for constructive things to orient my life towards. So what I'm looking for is along the lines of eco-socialism (a la Paul Cockshott), adaptation, how we can feasibly avert 2 or 3 degrees +, that sort of thing.

I would also be open to a book that discusses the potential for actual socialist revolution in the US/first world today, and a realistic idea of how that might happen.

Thank you!
