Declassified CIA Documents Reveal That U.S. Hand Picked Officials In Ukraine After 2014 Coup

While this section was clearly meant to be the focus of the declassified document, it also accidentally uncovered a more important revelation: that the United States was hand-picking officials in the government of Ukraine after backing a coup against the elected president, Viktor Yanukovych, in 2014.

Comment Re:Anyway Charlie Kirk and all right wing (Score 1, Troll) 49

You are deeply out of touch with observable reality if your conclusion that after furry trans activist Tyler James Robinson politically motivated assassination of "Lets talk" Charlie Kirk it is right that extremely violent. Also, in the aftermath of Kirk death, conservatives burned down zero downtowns, zero police stations, ect. unlike BLM or Antifa.

It's like nobody around here remembers the McCarthy era.

I think bad actors on both sides fully embraced McCarthyism. For example, on the right Ben Shapiro is all-in on both affirmative action and cancelling people that criticize Israel. That is, after building his entire career around "Facts don't care about your feelings". However, at least on the right, these censorious assholes are losing power, rapidly. Unfortunately, what coming to replace them are even worse - Nick Fuentes, etc. I am deeply concerned that blowback going to be much worse than we could imagine.

Comment Age verification is a backdoor to gov't tracking (Score 5, Insightful) 49

I agree that social media is detrimental to mental health and like any other "vice" adolescents should not have unsupervised access to it. However, lets not pretend that age verification laws have anything to do with reducing harms to kids. Australia wants to implement age verification laws as part of de-anonymizing adults. This is part of global initiative to undermine freedom of speech in the West. UK is already jailing thousands of people and clearly Australia wants in on that.

Why do I not share this mood?

You are motivated by your political tribe to "not share this mood" on the pain of getting ostracized and exile. A much better question as to why Democrats drastically changed their views in the past 25 years. You can still find speeches on strengthening borders from Clinton and Obama.

Immigration that is happening today in context of North America is largely, predominantly about economic migration. People from less prosperous and less stable countries want to move to a better country and do not care that such move has negative effect on the country they are migrating to. You are trying to weave pseudo-historical narrative about colonial oppression by the West is divorced from history. That narrative was concocted by Soviet propagandists to sabotage West.
