cool new york times article by someone who doesn't understand words, concepts, or the passage of time

quote:

Jeremy Corbyn, that quasi-Leninist

quote:

Marxist-Leninism (albeit in the unique capitalist-Maoist form) still propels China, the world’s surging hyperpower, even as that same ideology ruins Cuba and Venezuela

quote:

North Korea, a dystopian Leninist monarchy

quote:

President Trump is some ways the personification of a new Bolshevism of the right

quote:

Hence the irony that while the West has been discussing the revolution at length, Russia is largely pretending it never happened. Lenin’s marble mausoleum in Red Square must echo with his laughter because that’s just the sort of serpentine political calculation he would have appreciated

quote:

Without Lenin there would have been no Hitler

sad, failing https://nytimes.com/2017/11/25/opinion/sunday/myanmar-aung-san-suu-kyi-rohingya.html

quote:

What is clear is that Aung San Suu Kyi’s reticence has favored obfuscation. It has left the field open for a ferocious Facebook war over recent events. The Rohingya and Buddhists inhabit separate realities. There are no agreed facts, even basic ones. This is the contemporary post-truth condition. As the Annan report notes, “narratives are often exclusive and irreconcilable.”

Now that the war is over, and there’s some difficulty with the peace, was it worth doing?

Well I think it was unquestionably worth doing, Charlie. And I think that looking back, I know, or certainly understand, that I feel I know what the war was about. And it’s interesting to talk about it here, in Silicon Valley, because I think looking back at the 1990s, I can identify, there were actually three bubbles of the 1990s. There was the NASDAQ bubble. There was the government’s bubble. And lastly there was what I would call the terrorism bubble. The first two were based on creative accounting. The last was based on moral creative accounting. The terrorism bubble that basically built up over the 1990s said that flying planes into the World Trade Center? That’s ok. Wrapping yourself with dynamite and blowing up Israelis in a pizza parlor? That’s ok. Because we’re weak and they’re strong and the weak have a different morality. Having your preachers say that’s ok? That’s ok. Having your charities raise money for people who do these kind of things? That’s ok. And having your press call people who do these types of things martyrs? That’s ok. And that built up as a bubble, and 9/11, Charlie, was to me the peak of that bubble. And what we learned on 9/11, in a gut way, was that that bubble was a fundamental threat to our open society. Because there is no wall high enough, no INS agent smart enough, no metal detector efficient enough to protect an open society from people motivated by that bubble. And what we needed to do was to go over to that part of the world, I’m afraid, and burst that bubble. We needed to go over there, basically, and take out a very big stick, right in the heart of that world, and burst that bubble, and there was only one way to do it. Because part of that bubble said “We’ve got you. This bubble is actually going to level the balance of power between us and you because we don’t care about life. We’re ready to sacrifice it. All you care about are your stock options and your hummers." And what they needed to see was American boys and girls going house to house, from Basra to Baghdad, and basically saying, “What part of this sentence don’t you understand: You don’t think we care about our open society? You think this bubble fantasy, we’re just going to let it grow? Well suck on this.” That, Charlie, is what this war was about. We could have hit Saudi Arabia. We could have hit Pakistan, it was part of that bubble. We hit Iraq because we could. That’s the real truth.

welcome to the resistance, jerkoff white house official who's happy about the terrible things he's accomplished and sad about all the terrible things he couldn't do with the orange pedo clown in the white house

He's just straight up saying "the president is too stupid for our ethnic cleansing policies to work as efficiently as we want them to" and the New York Times is applauding him for it. Epic

it's hilarious how so thoroughly consistent liberals' public positions on american-supported genocide and massacres is a narrow spectrum of talking about how efficient or sufficiently propagandistic the bloodshed was

Well we invented the original versions of lots of nazi-style genocidal measures so it's to be expected at this point. They've gotten practice

Reminder that a month ago they uncritically quoted Ukrainian "nationalists" (neo-nazis) claiming that Roma people are "vermin" who "befoul cities"

I think the intercept is too hard on china, russia, syria, etc. but at the same time it is very funny to watch the cosplaying communists in this forum call him a "trump lover" (the worst insult they can think of). for example on multiple occasions people have said he's an elitist and coward for living on a "compound," without considering why a guy hated by the united states government and his boyfriend, who is hated by the brazilian government, want a gate around their house. the people in this forum want both of them dead

The primary BBC article on the Brazilian election characterizes Bolsonaro supporters threatening, beating and murdering Haddad supporters or just random black brazilians/lgbt persons/homeless as "It has been a divisive election in which supporters of the rival candidates have at times clashed" and does not once mention Bolsonaro or his son's threats to install a military dictatorship.

Not sure if that's better or worse than "refugee camps provide fresh investment opportunities"
