October 2020 article from Moon of Alabama with a bunch of sources:
Media Again Falsely Claim That Joe Biden's Intervention In Ukraine Was Innocent
While all that may be true, there's too many nypost links there to convince any lib
I’m laughing at the idea of a lib stumbling onto Moon of Alabama. They would be so confused and lost
Ive never heard of this site, what exactly is it? I read the 'about' section but I'm still lost.
It’s just a blog posted by a hardline German communist and anti-imperialist with prior military experience named “b”. It’s amassed quite a following over the years and has an interesting comment section.
Imagine if SeventyTwoTrillion had a blog and we were just commenting on it instead of this news thread. Now imagine SeventyTwoTrillion has a ton of experience with NATO artillery and anti-aircraft but now hates NATO
Why did a German communist name his blog after a random Native American tribe?
The about section explains it. There used to be a forum called the Whiskey Bar where geopolitics was discussed. The forum’s admin gave up and closed down, but many of the users followed ‘b’ over to his new blog.
It’s an old song they are quoting, Bertolt Brecht’s ‘Alabama Song’.
The name of the original Whiskey Bar was taken from Bertolt Brecht's Alabama Song where the first line goes:
"Show me the way to the next whiskey bar".
The name Moon of Alabama was taken from the first line of the chorus of that song:
"Oh, moon of Alabama ...".
The design of this site has been directly stolen or re-engineered from the Whiskey Bar site.

Bertolt Brecht was a Marxist playwright and songwriter from the GDR, which explains the German communist connection.
In addition, Soviet states also had a sort of fascination and admiration with American natives, they even created a genre of western films called Osterns that inverted the Cowboy-Indian dichotomy and glorified Native Americans above the settlers.
