Incredible stuff

Kissinger was the one on the U.S. side who engineered the opening of diplomatic and trade relations with China, back when he served in the Nixon administration. As much as this move aided the US in winning the Cold War against the USSR by taking advantage of the Sino-Soviet split, it also allowed China to flourish first because the U.S. was no longer openly backing the KMTs claims over China (China got to take their seat in the UN and Taiwan was out) and later by allowing massive amounts of American capital to flow into China, boosting the speed of their development of productive forces. Many in China likely see Kissinger (and Nixon) positively because in a way they helped China into the position it is now in (superpower status).

Also, "who had a sharp vision and a thorough understanding of world affairs" is true, despite the fact that he is an evil ghoul, he was a very competent one with a solid understanding of the way the world works. We can be thankful that not many people like that seem to be at the reigns of power on the US side anymore.

You’re saying there’s a NEW England? Why, the old one was bad enough!

ChatGPT might be smarter than you, I'll give you that.

Wait what time? I set Jeopardy to record, this asshole better not have fucked it up

How did it take three assholes to write this short little article lol

You should be directing your reprehension at Israel exclusively, since Israel exclusively has the power to end all of this.

Hey look everybody it’s the guy OP was talking about in the post! You’d think reading the post would cause a flicker of self awareness and this dipshit would pause a second and think about how much they really know, but nope! right into the idiotic talking points lmfao!

Never. Not one time. Never

They even did the hilariously self-assured while being wrong thing!

According to NATOpedia, the USSR emphasized all of the victims at Babi Yar, soviets of all ethnicities and so didnt erect memorials specifically to Jewish and Roma victims. Something like 34,000 Jews, basically every Jew in Kiev was murdered there and then over the next months or years many more people, Poles, disabled, Russians, Communists etc were also killed with total victims being about 100,000.

So the soviets did not bury the history, they openly acknowledged the history but emphasized all victims as civilians murdered by fascism and didn’t emphasize the Jewish and Roma genocides explicitly or prominently. Thats my understanding of what Blinken means by “buried history” after a quick glance at wikipedia at least.

Once again a comment I made on my bit account gets stated plainly without the irony, I think it’s impossible to do a good bit on Reddit or Lemmy because any ghoulish take you can think of ironically is something that some amount of users believe completely. Absurd.

I’ll be honest since you and @GaveUp are showing genuine concern, that account is me. And yeah, I’m frustrated with a lot of stuff in my own life but also the world in general, but I’m OK, no need to worry about me.

I went to browse lemm.ee without an account just to see what the rest of the fediverse libs were up to and certain comments in an antiwork thread were bothering me, shitting on people for not wanting to spend their lives doing pointless drudgery. In stead of replying just telling them to eat shit I decided to make an account to roleplay as a capitalist and remind them that as a landlord and business ownerI already don’t work at all so their comments are dumb. I figured they wouldn’t know how to respond to that and they didn’t.

Then I just rolled around to other threads commenting as my new character. Mostly pretty low effort stuff but I ended up getting a lot of engagement from furious libs so I kept going. Maybe it’s not healthy, but at least a few times I made myself chuckle and this thread showing that at least a few of you guys got a laugh out of it too makes me feel a little better. And a lot of the comments I posted from work when we were slow so in a way I’m getting paid to post.

I just read to my parents about the Haymarket tragedy and the origins of Mayday, and how the United States freaked out that people all over the world began recognizing that day and in order to cut it off in the US they made May 1st loyalty day and used red scare shit to make sure nobody would demonstrate or do anything on May 1st here lol. They had never heard of any of it.
