politics
Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.
Dissolving Evil Empire:
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USSR, was actually just a euphemism for "Russia" in a delusional attempt at self-justification because, to my knowledge, not one of the countries making up this so-called “Union” joined willingly. Enormous threats, purges, incarcerations, torture, deportations, & genocides were employed to bring everyone into this bogus "Union."

The Politics of "Us VS Them"
A cult of the leader; promising national restoriation in the face of alleged disgrace. If this were an episode of Jeopardy the correct response to this phrase would be "What is Fascism?". In the eyes of the fascist leader, the so-called "disgrace" comes from the political & social outsiders (immigrants, leftists, minorities, women, LGBTQ+, etc.) & they carry out their agendas by means of a hypothetical takeover of a country's media, schools, and cultural instituions. The fascist leader decietfully peddles the necessity of a masculine, charismatic, powerful, and sometimes a very violent response; saying that he will be the ultimate solution. Fascism by it's very nature is right-winged, and rooted in the concepts of ultra-nationalism. Though, it must be made very clear that ultra-nationalism isn't exclusively right-winged. There are a pletora of ultra-nationalist movements of minority groups. There is such a thing as left-winged authroitarianism, as seen with the countrys and governments ruled by such terrible figures like Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Josip Tito, Pol Pot, and the Kim family; who (combining the numbers together) killed people in the tens of millions. There are bad things on the Left. However, not all these terrible things mentioned are fascist. It's a very specific ideological sysytem, and when thinking about it, it must the thought about in it's entirety; never in these particular & seperate parts, here or there. They come as a collective. Dare I say a "ten piece body". By the time we're done here, we will examine each of these pieces to gain a better understanding of the anatomy of fascism. How this extreme system works to only ruin society under the guise of repair.

8 AOC News Stories that are neither Sweaters nor Checkmarks
8 seems to be the magic number this week on Twitter - 8, blue check marks, and fanboys rallying for the new troll king. Every content creator had a dig at the new CEO, but for followers of AOC, there were an unfortunate number of sweaters. So many goddamned sweaters.

Russia's Propaganda Attacks Americans With Nonsense Advert
Russia has created an advert to deter or just make fun of America, who knows? Everyone knows nothing comes out of Russia in the media without Putin’s stamp of approval. Either way the ad was disgusting and the Black American they labeled as African-American had an African accent. More than likely living in Russia I find it ironic as several Africans admire Putin and Russia. Many African citizens applaud Putin and Russia yet immigrate to America and the United Kingdom instead of Russia.

If You Ever Heard of the Bacon Rebellion, You Might Fully Support the Infrastructure Bill Rather than Republican Billionaires
Photo by herval Wait a minute, I’m a person of low, middle or upper middle class means, and I don't support the infrastructure because I don’t know what the Bacon Rebellion is. Well, that’s admittedly a stretch. But a little knowledge would might get you to reconsider things. You certainly know the rich will do anything to hold onto every last sliver of wealth and privilege. So why do you believe their party line - rising their boats will do the same for yours. Thus, the infrastructure bill must go. Ok, let the history lesson begin.
