Listening to a self-proclaimed North Atlanticist rag is bad for the left

Klandace Owens got fired from Daily Wire

Woah, really? Is she just going to be fulltime TPUSA now?

The 1 might have been something big, since it looks like a heterogeneous fleet

Unfortunately for your ideology, most Chinese people support their government:

How do you reconcile this? Shall we trot out some paternalisms about "brainwashing" next?

No, like, I get that he evidently didn't understand it, but I find your question strange as it presupposes that she is "flexing" about a paper rather than complaining about how presumptuous some of her fellows can be.

Do you have anything but the most condescending and one-sided "solidarity" for a people who support their government?

One should probably also take into account the existence of paraphilias. If you're relying on public dog-walking rp to get off, there's probably some valid concern to be had even before getting into the ethics of you conscripting all of the bystanders into playing supporting roles for your fetish.

Why's she flexing about a paper that a white male couldn't understand?

Were the trade unionists the ones immolating unarmed soldiers and stringing up their corpses?

I appreciate the bump and the very salient fur intel

The Great Purge is something that takes a year off of my life every time I read more about it because it's such a fucking rabbit hole. Yagoda, probably the second most "prolific" killer among heads of the NKVD after Yezhov, was uncontestably a member of the opposition bloc. What does that mean for the charges of "wrecking" while he was head? How many people died because of deliberate sabotage? What about Yezhov, who received similar charges? The information on the Yezhov case, for example, is to this day not fully public and there remain ambiguities (e.g. was he actually tortured?).

I don't know, but it makes information difficult to sort through because suddenly you can't do the liberal historian thing of dismissing Soviet claims out of hand and making up your own account.

I feel myself having an existential crisis every time I talk about this because I sound like a 9/11 truther but, like with 9/11, there's a lot of shit going on here . . .
