How the joint Finnish-Nazi siege of Leningrad (that left more than 1 million dead from famine), and Finland being an official member of the Axis, has in a new phantasist reading of history become a "defensive war". I would not be surprised if the Operation Barbarossa becomes renamed defensive war soon too.

this is why jews are such good lawyers

[maddy catgirlprostate @catgirlprostate]

There's no way to ask this without sounding a bit antisemitic but do orthodox Jews think their god is stupid or something? Do they not fear judgement for attempting to circumvent the rules of god with loopholes? This is a genuine question btw

There is a media story to be written about how Wired mag flipped from being the biggest tech booster to being now in the tech-critical camp.

What are the forces at work that drove this change?

@LinusFairing you're not dubbing this for laughs?

Most novels are actually "science fiction" because the novel emerged as a format during of the disruption industrial revolution, and the upheaval imposed by science on humanity has always been a central theme in most (if not all) novels:

Remarkable how perfectly American fascism crystallizes into these figures you couldn’t write into fiction without being accused of heavy-handedness

The new wave of narco imperialism is led by a sweaty, wide-eyed, coked-out christian zealot ranting about drug cartels? Okay. Sure.

[Yasha Levine @yashalevine]

@DickCheneyFacts yeah but if you think about it most fiction is sci-fi. bc we live in a super tech world that is always the setting of whatever the story is.

funny chandler basically wrote a sub-genre of science fiction — man trapped in a cynical car-centric futuristic society in crime ridden terraformed desert landscape (LA).

exactly — and the issue being is that democracy cannot function a one way consumer product.

[Malcolm Harris @BigMeanInternet]

One huge advantage that electoral organizing has, I've come to think, is that elections are the form in which Americans consume politics, and consumption has enveloped the entirety of national leisure time.
