They did capture it, but right now seems to be contested.

Thanks for not using the “girls vs boys” version.

“Dictatorship vs Democracy” is the new “Savage vs Civilized”. Words thrown around without explanation to signal friend and foe in the current ideological framework used to justify imperial conquest.

No need to resort to imagination with a real verifiable genocide.

Genocides are real things, so it’s important we reliably identify them with factual evidence, not falling for atrocity propaganda. Incorrectly identifying something as genocide is irresponsible much like denying a case of genocide that is actually taking place.

Where is the evidence? This article is an interview showing two people telling stories, one of which is selling a book, just like Yeonmi Park.
I can too volunteer for an interview as I tell how Greenland is genociding left handed people. But nobody will ever want to pay me for that.

The people that try to equate fake genocide with real genocide are like the school staff punishing bully and victim alike. They are enabling the abuses. Also it must be deeply insulting to the real victims in gaza.

Time and “order” are very unimportant with discoveries.

Im pretty sure historians would disagree with this statement.

I think time is an important variable, I should have stressed it more in the question. Sure, we would eventually get to the same ideas, but how long would it take? I suspect some development are somewhat expected as multiple people are simultaneously looking at the same underlying problem, while others come as a little more surprising.

It is very simple and few people, but it does work.

I don’t remember which hurricane it was that caused a lot of problems in the us a while ago, a real tragedy. Still cuba offered humanitarian help but was refused by washington.

Drug cartels are the new Hamas. Conveniently placed targets that just happen to be where the bombs explode. “Do you condemn Maduro?”

The talk about epstein files is laundering the real reason too.
Turning a century old trend into just a person being petty.

The world cares about what they do to other nations, not to themselves. Crazy gun policies? Slave labour in prisons? Your problem. Military expansionism, cripling sanctions, instigating chaos abroad? Very much our problem. That did not change.

I think your capacity to think is irrelevant or even played against you when the elites pour obscene amounts of money to change your perception of reality. Even the greatest minds can’t escape this.

Even if people realize the system they live in is called liberal democracy, not just democracy, they often fail to notice that said system is an implementation of a plutocracy, not a democracy.

It’s like watching an embryo develop into a child.

Venezuela is cursed with abundance of oil and proximity to USA.

Top can work too, but much less effective.

“The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the “smiling” fox.” - Malcom X
