The Soviet Union was why European Jews weren’t completely wiped out, you retrograde sociopaths.

Members of my family fought—and died fighting—fascists, while anti-communists like you cheered the Nazis on.

(quotetweeting Victims of Communism (@VoCommunism) "To them I will give within My temple and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will endure forever." #NeverAgain #YomHaShoah #HolocaustRemembranceDay

Victims of Communism, a US government propaganda outfit signed into law by Bill Clinton.

And by the way, fascists like VoC did not see a difference between Jews and communism: Communism was a Jewish plot to take over the world. You couldn’t eradicate one without eradicating the other.

All these American leftists who say: "We must critique China!" Americans have no political power over our own ruling class in our own society. So good luck with "critiquing China"—as if that's gonna do anything except feed into the elite-driven "War with China" campaign going now

I'll just drop this here: Like all elite-driven xenophobic campaigns, this “China did it” propaganda wave displaces blame for domestic political problems onto an inscrutable, foreign enemy. Respectable Racism: The “War With China ” Edition (via yasha.substack.com)

Let me reiterate this simply for those who don't get it: We can't even convince our shitty oligarchic government to give us basic healthcare. So...focus on getting political power domestically, rather than projecting your political impotence on evil foreigners.

Glad I was planning to launch a new limited series on the history of America's imperial propaganda machine. Time's ripe.

With this insane spook-fed propaganda "War With China" campaign converging on us, I'm glad I planned to start a limited series on http://yasha.substack.com on the origins of America's imperial propaganda machine—from the CIA in 50s Munich, all the way to Falun Gong and others today

Let's be honest: No one in America or the EU actually cares about Belarusians. They just want to destabilize Russia. Unleashing a wave of desperate and exploitable migrant workers on the EU—and privatizing the country's vast industrial and ag wealth is a big bonus, too.

AGAIN: NO ONE HERE CARES IF BELARUSIANS LIVE, DIE OR GET TURNED INTO SERFS ON A GERMAN FARM.

Just look at what our empire helped do to Ukraine. What a nightmare. Today this highly-educated, resource-rich country — once home to the most advanced Soviet industries — is the poorest country in Europe. Ukraine: A Short History of Meddling (via yasha.substack.com)

this whole masked help/servant “scandal” is so perfect. people suddenly upset because servants have to wear masks—but not because there are servants who constantly live and work under the authoritarianism of their masters, i mean, employers. yeah the mask is the evil thing here.

the met gala was egalitarian until the celebs and elites made their servants and lackeys wear masks!

oh those hypocritical libs!

Hi! Aaron, nice to meet ya. This site is where I'm documenting as I go, in order to keep my learnings and thoughts in an easily accessible digital notebook. My purpose in life is organizing (engineering, if you will) and building the change I want to see in the world; to help as much as possible, while I've got the chance to do it.
