He's wrong. The U.S. was full of genocidal maniacs in the military leadership and Presidency throughout the cold war. In fact, War criminal Eisenhower threatened to nuke China in the first Taiwan Straight Crises, which led to China building their own nuclear weapons to avoid being pushed around, making the world that much less safe. If you really want to know how bad things were, the leaked Pentagon papers is a good place to start.

It's a miracle that we didn't have a world-ending nuclear holocaust.

The reality of a modern major war with China, an ocean away, with no logistical supply chain, is that it will be fought and over within weeks, culminating with the launch of nuclear weapons.

I immediately assume these types of posts are astroturfing, it's just so damn "campaigny" and reads like something an intern would write.

Whatever you do, don't self-immolate. Sadly, this guy will get 2-3 days media attention, and then be forgotten, having accomplished nothing. We can all put our energy to better use.

You're only accountable for the things you can control. For most people, that's not very much, sadly. Think about what you can do within your ability, for example, speaking out, attending protests, donating to causes or volunteering for causes that support the people of palestine, etc. Someone might come along and say you're not doing enough, but doing something is always better than doing nothing, no matter how small.

All Americans, since US of America became a country, have been alive during slavery. Slavery was never fully outlawed. Does any American actually read their constitution? Maybe start with the 13th amendment?

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Clearly made with care, not just gross slop. Reminds me of this report from the CIA that Soviet diet was more nutritious.

FULL TEXT:

American and Soviet citizens eat about the same amount of food each but the Soviet diet may be more nutritious.

According to a CIA report released today (8 Jan, 1983)) both nationalities may be eatng too much for good health.

The CIA drew no conclusions about the nutritional makeup of the Soviet and American diets but commonly accepted U.S. health views suggest the Soviet diet may be slightly better.

According to Central Intelligence Agency, an average Soviet citizen consumes 3 280 calorious a day, compared to 3 520 calories for the American.

The average daily calorie intake in teh Soviet Union is: grain products and potates 44%; sugar 13%; dairy and eggs 11%; fats and oils 17%; meat and fish 8%; and other products 7%.

The american consumes daily: grain and potatoes 26%,; sugar 17%; dairy and eggs 12%; fats and oils 18%; meat and fish 21%; and other products 6%.

Americans eat more fish and more sugar, more dairy products and eggs, and more fats and oils and less grain the average Soviet citizen, and consumes more calories.

Generally held nutrional standards suggest individuals need fewer calories, less meat, less sugar and more grain to stay fit.

What the actual fuck? They moved the outlook search bar to the top of the window (the blue top box) and I can't move my sidebar to the left side of the screen to free up vertical real-estate. Fuck everything about this. Burn this software down.

This shit is a crime against the people and in a civilized country, these fuckers would be sent to a gulag for 20 years, then the people would seize the helium back.

Trump on Bolton: "A total & unhinged WARMONGER, the red faced 'boiler ready to explode' was one of those very stupid voices that got us into the Middle East quicksand, Seven Trillion Dollars, & Millions of deaths later, NOTHING!" the former president went on.

As a leftist, after reviewing decades of Biden's career, vs Trump's, I genuinely believed Trump was less bad than Biden. Not that I voted for either of them, rather, just that Biden is in fact that bad. He's everything that your boomer uncle believed about Jimmy Carter to be true.

What we call "terrorism" is the only means provided to the Palestinians to have a voice. They literally are in a concentration camp. The world's faux outrage shocked pikachu-face on this one is disgusting. No one would object if a chattel-slave killed his owners or a holocaust camp victim started blasting Nazis.

I'm gen X. I was fooled by the war on terror, and didn't understand the protestors at that time who were of an age of having had lived through Vietnam. Now I know better and join in the protests today. Shame on me if I were to be fooled again. The insane propaganda we're seeing on this Israeli genocide paralells what we saw after 9-11.

I am so proud that Gen Z isn't repeating the mistakes of my youth and falling for the propaganda. Based Gen Z. based-department

Actually sweaty, the USSR did create a Jewish state in Siberia, as a true alternative to Zionism and took in Jews during WW2, which still exists today as the only autonomous state in Russia. So Zionists who moved back to Israel did in fact have an alternative. Mizrahi are cool. Zionists are not cool.

When Zionist movement was founded circa 1897, Russia was host to the world's largest Jewish population. In fact, during the Russian civil war, the white army (Russian nationalists) led pograms against Jews, and killed up to 125k, mostly in UKRAINE, which surprise, surprise, is ran by Nazis today. It was the Red Bolshevik Army which had a policy of taking in or allying with the Jews, and many Jews embraced Soviet communism because of that. Moscow even hosts the world's largest Jewish museum today, the Jewish museum of tolerance.

Russia is just as much of a home to the Jews as Israel in the 20th century. No one forced the Zionists to leave for Israel and commit genocide against the Palestinians.
