They didn’t invent Nazis until after he died
He died in 1937. The Nazi party was founded in 1919.
while it is easy to place all the blame on Hannah Arendt's 1950s political work, I do believe :porky-happy: would have come up with this little rhetorical trick with or without her writing The Origins of Totalitarianism

NATO leftists
Not a real thing. They're just imperialists. It doesn't matter how progressive they are on social issues when they only want equality and wealth redistribution in their country while supporting an organization that does shit like this

I agree with your political conclusions that being anti-west is necessary in all scenarios but not your characterization that comrades enjoy the carnage.
You live inside a Nazi regime, your inaction is complicity, and your attack of the enemies of your regime is a betrayal of socialism and internationalism
Socialism is the enemy of the United States, which is the imperial center of gravity. The Russian federation and Ukraine are both products of the destruction of the USSR by the United States. To the extent that the Russian federation is an "enemy" of the united states, it is only because it stands in the way of Unipolar US hegemony, but not in the way of Capitalism itself. I sincerely hope the bourgeois Russian government is ousted and Communists take power in Russia again. And I hope the same for the US. You're right, inaction is complicity. I'll try to demonstrate more against my country's actions, even if it gets me and my family tortured and killed.

The national age of consent is lower than that, yes, but that’s only because they don’t need to raise it because every individual part of the country has a perfectly normal age of consent.
CW: Discussion of SA
Like you said. The national age of consent is low. It's 13. What this reveals to me is, there's no federal protections in place, and if one random province decided to institute the national age of consent, nothing would be there to stop them. Just like there's nothing stopping any individual American state from banning abortion. It's worth asking why the national age of consent is so low in the first place, and why the people of Japan have to rely on local government to prevent adults from legally having sex with 13 year olds. I mean come on. Also prefectures don't have their own local ages of consent from what I was able to look up just now. Instead, many prefectures have local "corruption of minors" or "obscenity statutes" (淫行条例) which raise the de-facto age of consent to 16-18, unless they are in a "sincere romantic relationship", usually determined by parental consent.
However, Japan has two territories that have their own local age of consent laws. These territories are the Marcus Islands and the Okinotori Islands, where the local age of consent is the same as the national age of consent... 13... so... exactly what I was suggesting is the problem with Japan is still the problem with Japan. Also they have no "Romeo and Juliet" laws I.e. close in age exemptions. Which means if two minors engage in sexual activity they are both charged with statutory rape, regardless of the presence or absence of coercion or the direction of the coercion. Seems potentially problematic to me. A 13 year old boy sexually assaults a 13 year old girl and they both get charged with statutory rape? What?
Japan has normalized pedophilia. Age of consent there is something downright medieval. I think like 13 or 14. Not that anglos have any room to talk.

CW: Too Online, WTYP's latest guest, very disappointing

The Rhodesia episode itself was good, but then I went through his tweets. of course he omits the NATO proxy war when discussing ukraine (framing it purely as a russian invasion that happened for no reason) in addition he had this lovely drivel where he responded to Luna Oi, saying she's "Denying the agency" of people in countries like Vietnam (her home) for noticing how often the US backs color revolutions. He's also quote tweeting himself while claiming "tankies" called him a "cuck" and presenting no evidence anyone said any of those things.
After this guy, and AdamSomething, I'm waiting for them to bring Vaush on and start complaining about "tankies" every episode. I'm starting to think the entire "Nate Bethea" produced podcast circuit: WTYP, Trash Future, Lions Led By Donkeys, 10K Losses, etc. is just social imperialist drivel. Nate Bethea and Joe Kasabian are both vets of the US invasion of Afghanistan (not conscripts, but actual fucking volunteers who fell for imperialist propaganda and now feel or pretend to feel some guilt about it) , and wouldn't you know it, every podcast Nate Bethea produces tows a tepid "both sides are always equally bad" line with regards to US imperialism. Joe Kasabian in particularly loves to play up Soviet atrocities with western sources like Montefiore and Snyder. Weird. Getting very disappointed in this shit. Chapo-adjacent pods, for all their faults, aren't nearly this bad when it comes to US imperialism.
Getting real tired of this line I see increasingly in media: Pointing out US hegemonic involvement is "denial of the people's agency". If you point out the US's specific involvement in this or that coup, this or that color revolution, this or that forced loan, this or that diplomatic pressure, no matter how specific you get, or how well-documented your sources, you get accused by liberals of "believing everything ever is the USA's fault." They apply a false broadness of scope to the specific historical point to discredit it.
i have never fed the algorithm by clicking any of that man's shit, but I can tell just from the titles and thumbnails that he has single-handedly resurrected the medieval morality play in all its unsubtle glory

youtube recommendations trying to get people to internalize black capitalism. Fred Hampton rolling in his grave.
rapidly folding dollar bills in front of my child like i'm in 4th grade again to recreate the experience of being 9 when 9/11 happened :pepe-silvia: :rust-darkness: :stalin-smokin: :pannekoek-point:
i have heard this exact argument made for why being gay had to be recriminalized in the USSR before
and it's cringe and wrong when those people use it, too
that's relieving. good thing there isn't a problematic history of depicting an ethnic group as simultaneously greedy bankers and violent revolutionaries
the narrative is centred around a goblin rebellion
and in case you have forgotten, this is how Rowling depicts Goblins

obligatory good post deconstructing the otherwise-funny meme:
This kinda shit obfuscates the direct nazi parentage of NATO and the Gladio militants in Ukraine, as well as the Banderite parentage of the Ukrainian Nationalist movement at large.
It's kinda the same with the laser focus on Azov when Banderism is much more pervasive and influential than this one battalion.
Ukraine doesn't just have a handful of fascists mercenaries they work with, the entire conception of Ukrainian nationalism as it exists is wrought with fascism and descended from the movements of literal collaborators in the holocaust. It's also part of a long history of NATO supporting and fostering nazi movements to do its bidding, or being staffed by literal Nazi generals.
