DeimosRising posted:All pedantry anyway. It’s never a bad time to remember Fred Hampton was murdered by the Chicago PD and FBI because they feared the effectiveness of Maoism with the US underclass It is extremely telling that governemt influence led to guys like MLK, Hampton and Malcolm X being murdered (as well as Stokley Carmichael fleeing the country) while a guy like Louis Farrakhan lives to this day. And that's not even getting started with the types of people the CIA had killed overseas, though I think Thomas Sankara is probably the most stark example I can cite.

The X-man cometh posted:Patrice Lumumba (who was a soccer player to keep this on sports) Lumumba is another pretty clear-cut case of a guy being murdered because he threatened Western Interests, as well as the fact that he petitioned for Soviet Assistance (though notably only after he was denied help by the US). It goes without saying that he 100% did not deserve to die, and in an ideal world those responsible for his death would face consequences. But I think Sankara is the best example for a lot of reasons. First off, the Burkinabè movement never sought help from any foreign power, it's entire purpose was to make Burkina Faso self-sufficient, so there was absolutely no "Soviet influence" or anything like that to even misguidedly warrant the tampering. Additionally, Burkina Faso is a tiny country of mostly subsistence farmers. It isn't rich with oil or rare metals like the Congo. It has no real economic or strategic importance in the eyes of the US. There was really nothing materially gained by western control of the country. All this makes it abundantly clear that the reason Sankara was killed was because his message was effective. He nationalized farms in a logical, unbiased way, reinvested debt repayment into development, outlawed discrimination towards women, and within 2 years farming efficiency increased by 60% (in a country where people depended on it for their lives, not just a source of revenue). I really implore any and everyone to read more about him, what he did in Burkina Faso was really unprecedented and unfortunately, because it's such a small country it's not very well known. Especially people who have an interest in the Cold War, or post-colonial history. It's sad but fascinating. This is related to sports because Sankara wrote the national anthem to Burkina Faso, and they play the national anthem during sports games.

Listen, I'm not afraid to say it (and I did by the way during my retro live blog of 1917) but Verdun was really one of the all time "how many men do you really need" moments. People think it's about depth but one of my first rules of world waring is that you should always bet on the side with the tallest fortifications. It's like common sense and any 18 year old who plays Total War knows that. I had Clemenceau on the pod and he basically said that they weren't going to quit once they adopted that "nobody believes in us " energy. Thank you, I'm honored considering I've never even actually listened/read any of Simmonds stuff, just know his reputation from lurking on Deadspin for years.

Let's be honest. Let's say what everyone is thinking. The Western Conference is more unbalanced and exploitative right now than the Berlin Conference. The play of Golden State is more cruel and inhumanitarian than the Congo Free State, and Steve Kerr is responsible for more atrocities than King Leopold. "Heart of Darkness" is actually referring to the 8-15th seeds in the West right now.

I hate to link to a G/O Media site but I think this is a good read all things considered. https://deadspin.com/why-the-gently caress-isnt-kobe-bryant-a-pariah-yet-1829494689 It's sad that he and his young daughter died, but holt poo poo was that rape case vile. And the fact that it's now the playbook of poo poo stains like Matt Lauer (admit to everything but claim the sex was consensual) shows you it will continue to have a part in ruining people's lives now that Kobe's is over. Not that there wasn't a fair share of old fashioned bullying tactics, like publicly identifying the accuser to intimidate and encourage harassment against her, but the change from Deny Everything to claim the woman is just embarrassed/wants a payday is pretty stark.

morestuff posted:New Ringer podcast off to a good start Of course they're gonna talk about the manifesto of the goddamn Unabomber like it has some "interesting ideas." Ugh just such pseudoscientific nonsense. Like he was a very intelligent math professor and engineer of some sort, but was certainly not the philosopher he seemed to think he was. It's all just a mish mash of typical, white male aggrandizing drivel, suggesting all of societies ills are the fault of the white man stooping down to others. It's really stupid and boring and I wish people would stop giving it credibility. I'm sure there are significantly less racist and more informed opinions on the idea that technological progression maybe hasn't helped as much as we think. The really interesting thing about the Unabomber story is what they did to that guy at Harvard, it's absolutely bonkers and isn't discussed nearly enough when the Unabomber comes up. https://ahrp.org/1959-1962-harvard-and-the-making-of-the-unabomber/ morestuff posted:New Ringer podcast off to a good start
