  1. Russia's at it again

    Yes, that is kind of, exactly the point regarding the Greek civil war. According to Churchill, Stalin kept ALL of his promises. What did the W.Allies do? They did not live up to their side of the bargain. Truman yanked the aid Stalin had been promised in the post war phase. Western Germany was...
  2. Joe Rogan

    I saw a video from a trans person, I forget exactly the source, that said that there are no children being transitioned. It's a non-story, so it's a non-issue.
  3. Joe Rogan

    The controversy about Rogan being "transphobic" is that he thought the entire Caitlyn Jenner thing was ridiculous, and made fun of her, for killing a woman in a car accident. It's odd, he was making fun of her, for it being a ridiculous situation, not because she was trans, but, you know, with...
  4. Russia's at it again

    Whether it was a pragmatic decision or not is irrelevant. What matters is the outcome. Stalin pivoted away from internationalism in the 20's and 30's, and formalized this position in the 40's. The USSR not pressing their advantages at the end of WW2, whether it was because of lack of interest...
  5. Iran v US confrontation

    Genuinely curious. Can you list the attacks he was behind that actually count as terrorist attacks? Or war crimes? Terrorism, in case you wondered, is classically defined as targeting civilians deliberately to push for policy changes. Since 9/11, the US and its closest allies have been trying...
  6. Iran v US confrontation

    Couple things that don't seem to have been touched on much here? 1. Trump called the Iraqi PM (according to the Iraqi PM) to arrange de-escalation talks after the Embassy attack. Iraq contacted Iran, Iran sent Soleimani to Iraq for the purpose of these talks. US then assassinated Soleimani...

  8. 2020 US Elections | Biden certified as President | Dems control Congress

    It's really not. That's a gem. To get his UBI, you have to opt out of several other programs. Moreover, not sure if its in this clip, he explicity says that UBI is a way to strip other social welfare benefits down the road, because UBI can be used as leverage. He's not progressive. He's...
  9. Russia's at it again

    Soviet involvement in Korea and Vietnam was reactionary. History lesson time. At the end of WW2, The US, Britain, and the USSR essentially agreed to not get involved in internal uprisings in Europe. In essence, the West and the Soviets would "let the chips fall where they may". This lasted all...
  10. Gun control

    The worst is when they say the Nazis were socialists. I've been waging war against these simpletons on social media for a decade+. All I need to do is quote a speech old Adolf gave in Munich on April 12 1921. Couple paragraphs in that speech explain the entire situation, explicitly. There...
  11. 2020 US Elections | Biden certified as President | Dems control Congress

    Yes he is, and I'd say he might even be worse, because he is duping a lot of progressives who think he is actually a progressive.
  12. The Trump Presidency | Biden Inaugurated

    It's really not that shocking for people who are actually on the left, to want political representation that is actually on the left. The Democrats are a right of center party, that has a monopoly on the left because there is nothing to the left of them. The only areas where Dems like Biden and...
  13. Russia's at it again

    As a geopolitical player, Russia is a great power. Its economy is not indicative of its actual might. However you want to frame this, Russia is literally the third most influential country, in the world, for two reasons. It has enough nuclear weapons to end the world, by itself, multiple times...
  14. Gaming The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    Witcher 2 should hold up. Witcher 1 however, unless you're a die hard, might be a little bit dated.
  15. Television The Witcher | Netflix | There are book spoilers here

    Critic review average I saw was like 55-60%, while fan reviews were 95-98%. I read one critic review, that actually rated it 0/10, and called it high school DnD, watched only one episode, and then skipped ahead to episode 5. A lot of the bad reviews have complained about the amount of...
