Tossing around big numbers to estimate things like this is so fun, thanks for the write up!

Oliver Stone’s series “Untold History of the United States” really helped to open my eyes to the depravity of the US when I was first learning about socialist politics. It gets a little socdem at parts, but for the most part is just a really solid accounting of the US’s crimes in the 20th century. You should be able to find it streaming online, but pm me if you can’t.
“My Brothers and Sisters in the North” is a good look at life in the DPRK, and not just in Pyongyang. This one’s on youtube.
The Act of Killing is a very intense look into the perpetrators of the genocide in Indonesia in the 60s. I haven’t watched the follow-up “The Look of Silence”, but I’ve heard it’s good as well. I think these are on netflix, but pm me if you want.

Lol the university I’m at blocks all .ru websites, rt.com, and lemmygrad. Oh and all Chinese social media apps. What a bastion of free speech and inquiry

I’m especially ignorant on cancer medicine, but I do know that Cuba has developed a vaccine that is supposed to prevent a type of lung cancer. My guess would be a similar sort of result here

As a sergeant in the People’s Diners Brigade, Waffle House Division, I must ask you to face the wall

The only way i’ll support them is if they’re smothered, covered, and peppered.

I don’t hate being called it, I just think you’re a lazy anti-intellectual. Also funny you think we’re “grifting”. Do you honestly think we get paid for this? Someone believes something different from you and the only explanation is we’re getting xibucks deposited into our bank account? Get your head out of your ass man.

Lol you guys say “tankie” like it’s a fucking reflex. Go read some books, jesus christ.

I really enjoy mosaic hops; the best IPA I’ve ever had used them. There’s maaaaany awful IPAs, but when done well I think they’re delicious.

just rewatch futurama for the 30th time like a normal person (i.e. me, the normalest of all)

Being part of NATO is not an aggressive pact. It is only enacted if another member is attacked.

Yugoslavia and Libya would probably beg to differ.

drove 6 hours back home yesterday and goddamn you’re not even joking

Please watch this documentary co-produced by literally PBS on the poverty alleviation campaign. I’m sure you’ll just dismiss it as all a charade and propaganda, but I hope you approach it with an open mind. What the Chinese have been able to accomplish (through sheer hard work and determination) is nothing short of incredible and it honestly pisses me off you would compare that to the literal genocide of Native Americans.

To apologize for gigachad acts of poverty alleviation. This is a twelfth type.

if supporting a project that lifts 800M out of extreme poverty is wrong, I don’t wanna be right

I know a 25 year old who had a stroke last month because of covid complications. Sure, not deadly but… I don’t want to have a stroke either

This person just outing themself as craving the sending of Ukrainians into the fucking meatgrinder. The sheer disregard for human life is disgusting
