I think I currently trust Ukraine's loyal elites to ask for reparations that *fund actually useful reconstruction* than I do their American counterparts, but now's the time to prove me wrong!

Proud of Minnesotans

It makes a lot of sense for Latin American flags other than Mexico to be repped, but I saw an Argentine flag, middle symbol thing barely visible, and was slightly bemused at the Russian opposition flag until I realised one is blue-white-blue and the other is white-blue-white.

I know you guys said you'd bring American flags but I didn't expect this *absolute unit* holy shit

My parade sucks cos Ukrainians blew up all my tanks. What's Donald's excuse?

Faschismus ist, wenn der gewählte demokratische Senator von Kalifornien in Handschellen gelegt wird, weil er auf einer Pressekonferenz der Heimatschutzministerin kritische Fragen stellt….

This is great stuff because it's someone in the public eye, not Joe Bluemaga, posting this stuff, and if Miller/Trump *don't* have him black-bagged or at least "investigated" for something, they look like pussies, and if they do, intra-elite violence, what's not to like

The idiot self-identified Zionists are saying that the Freedom Flotilla is *empty* symbolism, because they didn't carry a meaningful amount of aid, unlike big daddy Israel. The obvious rejoinder is "but Israeli decided to block the aid anyway, clearly they think it's an important amount", but...

It's darkly fascinating what happens if the majority of your immigrants are some type of Asian and the narrative switches from "criminal" to "creepy" no matter how dark they are

Hold the line, California. We know you can.

www.reuters.com/world/europe... >Russians' aspirations for a brighter future If you like Russians so much then tell your buddy Kristi Noem to restore Kseniia Petrova's study visa and let her go back to work, assuming her lab still has funding

You mean she apologised for calling a cis woman manly because she's tall, right? Because she realises that splash damage to cis women who are built like swimmers is a) mean b) god's gift to TERFs, right? *clicks through* ah hell

So far the Conceptians are refusing to cede "multipolar" to vatnik enjoyers and are instead doing some Terra Ignota Mirai shit with it

I think "traitor" only works if you're a wee bit nationalist, if you believe in the first place your country is worth loyalty. But if you're the good kind of nationalist, you have an actual argument for *why* your country is so great, and you can appeal to that universal principle directly!

pretty obsessed with the aesthetic of 2020s mass drone warfare. in part because it's one of elements futures that would have struck people as ridiculous and heavy-handed if encountered in a work of fiction. miles-long reels of cable to control every single drone doesn't seem realistic, and yet

My crazy far right family, my confused centrist Australian Catholic school, and my cadre of internet American liberaltarian friends all *really* underplayed how carefully planned the US Civil Rights Movement was, and this has unfortunate implications if you want to learn from them

I did not listen to Americans bragging about their First Amendment for years only to have the legal precedent for the rest of the world's courts ripped away, dammit!

You are torrenting your data from the Internet Archive to prove that there are legal uses of the technology You are also torrenting your data from the Internet Archive because your internet is shit You are Australian

There's a couple of *really* obvious flags to wave for a Russian or Chinese abroad to signal they're One of The Good Ones, in many ways we're lucky, but if you have e.g. nationalist-for-the-old-country parents you're in a bind.
