@number_pizza111 Truman putting an arms & ammunition embargo on KMT in 1946 during the Chinese Civil War. US had massive WWII surplus weapons caches that KMT wanted to pay for IN GOLD but instead were scrapped. Rationale was to force KMT to form 50-50 power-sharing gov't w/ ChiComs. 1/2

@nikicaga honestly, the Orientalist view of Islam probably would've resurfaced by now had the refugee crisis/Islamic immigration wave not happened

The Empire fell because Okhrana was infiltrated by double agents like Azef. The Union fell because the KGB lost interest in propping it up. Putin's Russia won't fall so easily because this is the first time this *class* has explicitly put one of their own on the throne.

Russia is profoundly creepy. Even Russophobes mostly don't get why. It's the Platonic ideal of a State. It has one, but very strong, real institution – Okhrana, State Security. The Russian nation gets reset; this thing gets refined. This has been going on for maybe 500 years.

@cszabla Was there no indication it was a work of fiction in the original release? Just not sensing how that could have happened.

the controversy over “taiwan travelogue” is incredible. chinese nationalists hate it for being obliquely (and the author being overtly) anti-china, plus centering/being about romance w/a japanese colonist. taiwanese historians apparently hate it for having LARPed a primary source

@theelishev The only thing you've gotten done is bring war upon yourself. When Azov was still a small Neo-Nazi unit, yall should have taken care of them then. Now these guys are dragging Ukrainian men off the streets to use as meatshields in the frontlines. Should have never let them be.

The thing I dislike the most about my fellow Slavs is their propensity to bitch about everything. About how someone wronged them at some point in history. This whining is annoying. Have some dignity.

@Y40IFRQTTING They burned to the ground everything, what they could, and stole everything, what wasn't fixed to the ground… but they managed to dismantle even buildings. Even today in Poland in the Vistula river remains of the Swedish plunder are found. They still keep our national treasures.

@vanhanenist @mikitaposts Germany and UK are low because I'm respectively not factoring remorse or triumphalism into "whininess." Finland is high because I'm not grading on a curve based on how "legitimate" the whininess is.

@rightwingnutrs 2008 market crash would have (politically) necessitated a multi-trillion $ bailout, which would 1) obviously be coupled with repeal, 2) have greatly exacerbated the recession and 3) given Obama 2/3rds majorities in Congress. It was a good idea but timing couldn't have been worse.

We don’t talk enough about how Bush’s plan to privatize Social Security in 2005 would have saved federal finances for decades to come and we’d probably have a lot less intergenerational conflict with the Boomers.

As someone who used to teach at one of these schools this is absolutely ridiculous. The top 10 or so international schools in Beijing and Shanghai are so selective that it does not *matter* what you teach the kids. The top of the classes would be world class talents if you scheduled an hour of crayon drawing everyday.
LinaHua@Linahuaa

DeepSeek is reportedly auto-rejecting Chinese applicants who went to America for undergraduate. Having an undergrad from America usually means you went through the international school pipeline, which usually means that you had much less rigorous math training. It also means you're culturally White, and probably a bad fit for them. I have lots of students from Shanghai American School (#1 international school in the city)- and they have tons of bullshit filler classes like choir, abstract art, reading books about disabled/morbidly obese kids and writing essays about why fatshaming is bad. As the result- they're far behind in math and science. And they're somehow less competent at music and arts too because they skip the foundation and go straight to vibe-painting and virtue-yapping. American education is of very low quality imo... this isn't a China glazing post btw- I would take the average German grad from 20 years ago over today's American grads too. I would also take the average German (from 20 years ago) over the average Singaporean and Chinese.

Nobody calls it Byelorussia anymore except 80 year old boomers. And absolutely nobody calls it White Ruthenia. I have never heard anyone use that. I heard some occasionally say White Russia, but that’s the literal translation (White Rus is the most accurate though)
Pulse of Belarus@PulseOfBelarus

Unfortunately due to the suppression of Belarusian language and culture by the Lukashenka Regime, most people continue to use Russian names to identify Belarusian cities and regions. We need to change that, as using Russian names legitimizes occupation. #BELARUSNOTBYELORUSSIA

@woke8yearold New York and Colorado, two of the states with the most shale oil+gas, plus all of Europe, did listen to it and ban fracking to this day.

Opposition to data centers is exactly like opposition to fracking. It was a large change that people hated because there is a lot of general opposition to changes to the built environment. You can't reason with this sentiment because it is fundamentally irrational. "I don't like change near me" isn't a position you can reason someone out of it. We didn't listen to it on fracking and society benefited greatly. We did listen to it with nuclear power and did incalculable damage to the West.
