I have yet to read this book, but The Palestine Laboratory is supposed to outline how a lot of the surveillance and weaponry used today are first developed and tested in Israel to aid the occupation, then exported to other countries.

After nazi germany defeated poland and their government collapsed and fled, the USSR either had the choice to let the nazis continue unhindered eastward, or to move forward. This action saved millions of lives from the nazi’s scorched earth campaign which included mass rapes. You can read more about this here.

Also noteworthy: in 1939, Stalin offered a million troops in a pact to the UK and France to stop nazi germany.

UK and France refused the offer.

Data from authoritarian countries is less reliable

Part of the ideology of white-supremacy, is that proximity to whiteness means trustworthiness and authenticity, and distance from it means untrustworthiness.

So white supremacists think only the western countries (and their allies like South Korea, Japan, and other US military base countries) data and educational institutions can be trusted, while the numbers coming from any country opposed to them must inherently be a lie.

Stalin made a spoon so large not even he could eat all the grain with it. #inconvenienttruths #tankiespwnage.

The British empire committed far more atrocities than Nazi Germany could ever aspire to, and they did it all using a far more stable form for colonialism than fascism: parliamentary / bourgeios democracy.

The US genocided an entire continent under this model, something the nazis explicitly tried and failed to accomplish in eastern europe.

The only reason nazi germany is demonized while the british and US empires are not is because: nazi germany also attacked western europe (a big no-no), and that they lost (thanks to the USSR btw). So really all you can say about the fascists vs the other countries you mentioned is that fascism is a far less historically stable and successful model of government for colonialism, than parliamentary bourgeios democracy.

Also most US police forces, as part of the militarization of police, have been effectively using tanks and APCs against protestors and civilians for at least 15 years now. Israel uses the Palestinian people as guinea pigs for most of this new population control tech, then the equipment that works gets sold to US police.

One other more recent example too of the US using tanks against its citizens was the waco standoff. The US used tanks against, then burned ~100 people alive.

No probs!

Never feel bad about asking for a source, or investigating the sources people post. Imperialist propaganda can’t be debunked without rigorous investigation, and good journalists / investigators are out there, as much as western states would like to make them invisible (or kill them).

I forget exactly how the saying goes, might be from the Buddha: “3 things can’t stay hidden for long. The sun, the moon, and the truth”.

Since we have a lot of racist redditors coming over here catching bans for their historical ignorance about the June 4th incident, here are some resources:

• Notes for the 30th anniversary of the Tiannment incident.
• It wasn’t a massacre of peaceful students, but a skirmish between PLA soldiers and armed detachments from the pro-capitalist / free market reform movement. The protest movement, as evidenced by their own accounts, called for market liberalisation, and free market reforms, rallying around a replica of the statue of liberty. After the movement had been building in the square for seven weeks, unarmed soldiers were sent in to disperse the protesters, after which many soldiers were beaten to death, torched, and lynched. The New York Times death count went from 2600, to many thousands, to 8000, to tens of thousands. In reality only around ~200 (including soldiers) were killed or trampled, in smaller clashes outside the square. The on-scene New York Times reporter disavowed the article, especially about machine-gunning of protesters. A wikileaks cable from a US ambassador to the US state department, confirmed that no killings or machine-gunnings took place in the square.
• Latin American diplomat eyewitness account of June 3-4 events on Tiananmen Square wikileaks (PDF)
• There was a Spanish television crew that covered the entire Tiananmen Square incident as it unfolded. Their footage showed that there was no massacre. A few things worthy of pointing out - Liu Xiaobo and Hou Dejian, both student leaders of the Tiananmen protests, have been recorded as saying that they never saw anyone killed at the protests.
• The protest movement followed the line of “color revolutions”, in which the US tried to destabilize and create counter-revolutions in eastern Europe and Latin America after the fall of the USSR. The strategy was to stir division within and without, by inundating the media with news of massacres of “peaceful”, pro-capitalist / market reformers.
• The defeat of a counter revolution in China.
• Interviews from some of the student leaders.
• An account from a resident.
• Tiananmen Square “Massacre”, A Propaganda Hoax.
• The truth about the Tiananmen square protests

Don’t feel that you need to argue with these racists, because it can lead to burn-out quickly. You can always report them and we’ll try to get to it ASAP.

Also thank you for your hard work in educating everyone. It’s not going to waste, and everyone is learning a lot from your posts. o7

Most likely. .ml was a free domain name for many years (including when we got it), alongside ones like .tk and .gq . So a lot of countries blocked them because many of the free domain sites were spam vectors.

The US has been around just as long as a civilization. If the Chinese get to claim credit for the radically different ancient predecessors to modern China, then the US can claim decent from both the ancient Native American civilizations

The US is a settler colonial project that carried out an extermination campaign and genocide of hundreds of native tribes, and stole their land. Settlers have no right to claim descent from the people (they’re still) trying to exterminate. Unlike South America, there’s not even a genetic heritage; the US colonialist just killed every indigenous person they found, or put them into reservations.

Neither the PRC nor most ME countries are settler ones. The number of settler-colonial countries is tiny: the US, Canada, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, are the main ones.

Thx for that lol. Incredibly satisfying to watch.

The one recognized by 99% of the world’s population, except for a few tiny island nations / members of OAS (a US org) bribed by the US.

Intelligence services like the CIA produce two types of info: disinformation (for public dissemination and propaganda), and correct information (usually for internal consumption only, but also occasionally for the public).

This is a declassified internal memo.

You and your dad are both white supremacist liberals.

Finland was one of the front lines of the Russian revolution, and the whites used finland as a base of monarchist assaults and intrigues against the world’s first socialist state.

The finnish communists then unfortunately lost their civil war, the finns then killed all their communists and made the communist party illegal, and became one of the fascist / reactionary powers in the 30s like nazi germany.

Territorial disputes between the whites and reds escalated during the 30s leading to the winter wars, which finland lost, then ww2, which finland also lost.

You are again siding with the reactionary side of history.

Finland lost ww2 as a member of the axis. The finnish army aided in the siege and starvation of Leningrad, which was one of the worst atrocities of ww2.

After they lost the war, they ceded part of their territory to become an SSR, and were never strong enough again to challenge the eastern bloc.
