Nazi apologia. It doesn’t matter how many books he wrote or how good they were.

Here’s how I read it: His Nazi past wasn’t discovered until after receiving literary awards, which was embarrassing to the literati, so they tried to whitewash him.

My first user block is you. I don’t know why sh.itjust.works keeps landing Ls.

What the fuck is wrong with the sh.itjust.works community?

Absolutely fucking not. Waffen-SS members are war criminals not hapless stooges.

What is up with tilvids.com trying to make my browser connect out to random UDP ports at random IP addresses? Kinda sketchy-seeming.

It’s almost as if reality has a well-known Russian propaganda bias.

Maybe they were hoping corporate media wouldn’t notice or wouldn’t cover it, and that social media algorithms would squelch it if anyone outside corporate media noticed it. Maybe the lower house speaker was the designated fall guy as a plan B.

How did the decision makers who set this stunt up think it was going to play out?

First of all, we’re not getting jack shit: capitalists in the military-industrial complex are. And second of all, that’s not how US federal taxes work.

Edit: And third of all, Ukraine isn’t getting any of this for free but as lend-leases which their people will be paying off for generations while living under neoliberal austerity measures.

And obviously the English language Wikipedia is generally going to have an anglo-Atlanticist point of view, as virtually all L1 English speakers and most many L2 English speakers do.

It’s not unreasonable to have skepticism of ProleWiki.

You might think Wikipedia lacks ideology or bias, but in my opinion it tends to have a Global North/Atlanticist bias. This is probably because of the place of its birth and the people who created it, like American libertarian Jimmy Wales, and the people who have managed it, like Katherine Maher, who has worked for National Democratic Institute and the Atlantic Council, and currently works for the U.S. State Dept.
