The A-B Campaign was pretty horrific, and that was when Mao was just starting out.

Best karaoke song ever. Wait until everyone is good and drunk before pulling it out. Oh yeah.

All you have to say is Gates Foundation and people freak out. It’s a contaminated word. Good luck getting anyone to listen to any argument you make.

Something that oppressed minorities tend to have that straight white guys don’t is a sense of community and solidarity. We have “our people”, basically, and at least to an extent that can give a sense of belonging.

Yeah they do. It’s called racism.

Of course it didn’t happen like in that dumb movie. But the Soviets really did use human wave attacks. They were frontal infantry attacks without support. The Japanese did the same thing with their Banzai charges. Human wave attacks work sometimes, something that never gets mentioned. Heck, even the US army used a version of this primitive tactic enabled by their semi-auto rifles, “marching fire”.

They tried banning flavored cigarettes before, and promptly got told off for racism as soon as the media realized that flavored included menthols. What happened?

Unfortunately our society has nothing to say to a lot of young men. We despise them and want them to go through life lost. This man identified a void and jumped into it. We should have had something for these lost young men, but we just chuckled that they were lost.

Using words like “the uniparty” is a conspiracy theorist tell, in my experience. Unfortunately. They really are united against us.

Zhukov, hailed as the savior of Mos­cow

Savior of Siberia, too. He repelled the Japanese in 1939 at Nomonhan. This was no border clash, the Japanese were bent on a full scale invasion and would not stop until they got to Lake Baikal.

the nearby Reichs­tag, the old German parliament buil­ding, abandoned after an arsonist set it ablaze in 1933

The actual “blaze” was a small fire in one corner of the building, quickly extinguished. William Shirer has a part in of of his books where he gives an eyewitness account of walking through it just after the fire was put out. Most of the buildng was unaffected, but all factions in German politics immediately worked to take advantage of the situation.

It’s not widely known, and anyone who makes a big deal out of the Red Army rape story is probably a Nazi apologist.
