The million dollar question is which is worse: liberals who mask or leftists who don't mask?

I say the Democrats will not do anything about the election interference because a general strike takes material support, robust communities, and organization.

2000 shows that the Republicans could just steal the presidential election and the Democrats will just stand there and take it. Democrats will not do shit.

The youngest continent in the world: Africa, will become more important.

The AES is only the beginning.

This advice applies to non-fictional non-philosophical works only:

  1. Read the Wikipedia article on the text (if it exists)

  2. Read the Wikipedia article on the authors of the text (if it exists)

  3. Read the intro chapter and concluding chapter

  4. Read the first few paragraphs and the last few paragraphs of every other chapter

  5. Skim over the rest

You'll be able to decently answer "what is the text about" and "why is this text important enough for the professor to assign." And if you actually need to read the text for real, your reading speed will be a lot faster since you already know what the text is about and are somewhat acclimated to the writing style of the author.

Don't fall into the trap of needing your eyes to absorb every single word or punctuation or else it doesn't count as reading. Save that for the philosophical text and text that you actually enjoy reading. Skimming or even skipping unimportant chapters is fine. Just don't skip too much lol

You also don't have to read every chapter in sequential order. After reading the intro/concluding chapters and the few opening/closing paragraphs of every other chapter, you can always jump around if a chapter drags out for too long. If a chapter proves to be too difficult or boring, it's better to skip to the following chapter (or putting the text down and starting another book) rather than mustering the willpower only failing to do so since if you had the willpower, you wouldn't be stuck in the first place. Just say "It's not me. It's you." and move on to the next chapter.

This is what we saw happen in WWII. Italy, Germany, and Japan all tried expanding their borders to enslave and steal against the interests of liberal capitalists who continued adhering to laissez-faire trade, going so far as to cooperate with communists.

They tried to enslave people outside their borders because the Allies minus the Soviet Union and China had already been enslaving people outside their borders for centuries. The inter-imperialist rivalry part of WWII was just imperialists fighting who gets the privilege of enslaving the rest of the world.

Come on feds this is some of your weakest ever work, it can be shut down in less text than exists on the propaganda, do better.

When was this made? Syria and Venezuela are basically out of date talking points especially since Assad and Maduro are not even in their respective countries anymore. There's also a weird emphasis on Ethiopia/Tigray. You would think they would put Iran under the "authoritarian regime" instead of Ethiopia. No mention of Palestine, not even with a "PSL co-opts Palestinian protests" talking point.

The Venezuela is also untimely after Maduro got kidnapped. How old is this?

Syria

I thought radlibs uphold the Syrian "revolution"

Then you've got the floating gardens in places like Mexico, which harness native techniques to create pockets of extreme fertility and endurance in the middle of Mexico City. It really is something to behold but it is not something that can be appreciated without the labor involved in creating, maintaining and cleaning canal farms in the middle of a metropolis.

That looks so fucking cool. Far cooler than some shitty yogurt commercial.

At least it's not L*ague.

People throughout the world are delighted by Santa Claus, a jolly old man who distributes presents to good kids. But little do people know that this is a culmination of machinations by the CIA spanning decades to rehabilitate a man charged with war crimes and drug trafficking.

Santa Claus is the latest nom de guerre of Hans Klaus. While Klaus's early life is shrouded in mystery due to subsequent coverup by the CIA, Klaus was believed to be born in Germany during the 1900s where he quickly joined the Nazi Party as an industrialist manufacturing coke-infused carbonated beverages for the SS. Proudly touted as the youngest industrialist to employ concentration camp slave labor, Herr Klaus had his first setback when the Red Army destroyed his factories in Nazi-occupied Europe.

US intelligence, fearing that the secrets of coke-infused beverages would fall to the Soviets, quickly ferried Klaus to the US under Operation Paperclip. There, Klaus would adopt the first of many pseudonyms. His pseudonym while living in the US was believed to be Nikolai Petrovich. Klaus, posing as a Soviet dissident, would have his first taste in producing propaganda, which he would put into great use later in his life when suspicions of being behind the JFK assassination begin to hound him.

While being part of an operation to set up a reconnaissance base in the North Pole to spy on the Soviets, the CIA-led time discovered a secret society of elves. The CIA wasted no time in staging a coup to overthrow the elven government. Klaus was selected to rule over the elves as a puppet leader on behalf of the CIA. Leveraging Klaus's previous experience in making coke beverages and employing slave labor, the elves were forced into slavery where they begin making cocaine. The quality of elf cocaine proved to be legendary and within a decade, Klaus has his grubby hands in almost every single major drug trafficking operation in the world.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that Klaus lives in the North Pole when his main base of operations is really in Argentina. Using connections from the Nazi diaspora living there. Klaus began building what would become a virtually impregnable fortress in Argentina. The drug lord fortress, fit for a drug lord king like Klaus, is rumored to include a nuclear bunker and houses an entire regiment of Klaus's private army.

Klaus eventually adopted the name and identity "Santa Claus" after the assassination of JFK. While definite connections between Klaus and the assassination of JFK are still murky, rumors swirl of Klaus being the mastermind behind the JFK assassination after scholars discover a previously undiscovered recording where JFK clearly stressed the need to begin an offensive against Christmas. It is believed Klaus adopted the Santa Claus persona in an attempt to simultaneously rehabilitate the image of Christmas and to stimulate the US domestic economy through Christmas-induced consumerism.
