Funny thing, the person in question watched manufacturing consent (didn't read the book) and generally agrees mainstream news outlets are controlled by the capital (in many cases owned by capitalists and run for profit), but considers Wikipedia a step above - open, free, well sourcedᶜᶦᵗᵃᵗᶦᵒⁿ ⁿᵉᵉᵈᵉᵈ, edited by regular people, etc.

Awesome, didn't know that! I'll look it up and read it for the talking points and sources. Definitely wouldn't send grayzone links to a liberal, particularly after the COVID debacle.

Thank you, will definitely give it a watch. I honestly don't mind "Stalin bad" because Stalin is a lost cause for the kind of people who rely on Wikipedia. Gotta choose your battles.

Actually the concept changed a lot over time. A few centuries ago it was perfectly acceptable to take someone's story and characters and retell it in your own way, but copying someone's style was frowned upon.

Never heard about them but just read the lyrics. Literally nothing anti Nazi about this song? If anything, regurgitating the clean Wehrmacht myth. Heroism of Nazis "saving" Berlin civilians from the scary commies.

The Red Army liberated Berlin.

Not surprised at all, he never said anything coherent. He was kinda funny but even that was mostly repeating old Soviet era jokes.

Noisy minority?

In a society where the following is normalised:

  • Calling regular bombing of civilian population in Gaza "mowing the lawn"

  • Organising large communal picnics atop a hill to watch the "fireworks" of aforementioned bombings for enjoyment

  • Crowds loudly cheering and celebrating fire breaking out in Palestine mosque

  • Calling restricting food inflow to Gaza to sustenance level "putting Arabs on diet"

this is just white supremacy, they know non-white communities are all but internally colonised in the US and they think this is what makes the US great

Of course! Sex workers should be provided all the care and support they need to get out of the abusive situation.
