yeah okay 12 years of solitary is pretty bad, though amenities are better in norwegian prisons than elsewhere. they should probably put him with other prisoners or release him, he'll probably get killed pretty quick but if that's what he wants...
nah we talking about the Caballero government not the dang CEDA! its "underground" in the sense reds were running an ostensibly bourgois republic with a liberal president for 2 years or so
mexican liberal party is great because it's called liberal, lol the magΓ³nistas are a footnote at best in the grand scheme of the revolution
mongolia is a good stalking horse for tibet without the impression of 'foreign domination', talking about the monasteries being fucked up an the mongolian people liquidating them... then you drop that that's the same thing they had in tibet
a better axiom is "could i apply the responsibility i'm expecting of civilians to children" fuck are ukrainian kids supposed to do about nazis in government? the disabled? pensioners?
and the ukrainian opposition parties that were banned & leaders jailed/disappeared---they aren't evidence ukrainians aren't all fash?
LMAO i trust you'll believe a US government rag whining about the Taliban's successful anti-opium campaign (opium the US puppet regime definitely disapproved of, right?)
that's not the exonerating testimony you think it is. 25% of the money, to say nothing of the proportion of arms, logistical or political support is a substantial contribution to a project that has locked Afghanistan in warlordism for 45 fucking years
these articles are so crazy, DOOM for the [largest professional military on earth] because of missing a recruitment goal by a rounding error amount. if these people actually need bodies they'll just do a draft, but they'd rather not because it'd mess with the ideological purity and quality
the problem of evidence is for the Khazar hypothesis, there's a handful of letters & coins showing the Khazar leaders practicised judaism, to what extent the whole state or people did is speculation. then it's speculation and entirely undocumented how these "khazars" got so far west of where the khazar state had been, yet did not leave a much of a trace in the caucauses.
and then why did jews in eastern europe speak yiddish? that just has to be ignored or chalked up to... cultural imperialism? on the part of later migrants.
genetics are a) useless for determining anything but the most generalized impressions of migrations that have happened b) no "khazars" or descendant groups exist to test against. c) to the extent they've tested, it doesn't support the theory
you're right in that the theory has been used in various ways, both to try to create the impression of jewish indigeneity to russia (from russian jews), also to deny ashkenazi indigeneity to palestine (anti-zionism)---but it makes lots of people uncomfortable because after being mostly run out of academia for the above reasons, the people left talking about it are mostly antisemitic cranks making the case ashkenazi were 'turkish' interlopers in europe.
it doesn't matter where the people doing apartheid in Palestine "actually" came from though, the problem is they're doing apartheid. if groups of european jews had just moved to palestine like normal immigrants and not taken over and stolen everything, no-one would care if they believed their mythic ancestors were from there, right?
you're only allowed to call the PRC "totalitarian" or undemocratic if you condemn the "democracies" of the english speaking world. the US president isn't even the person who gets the most votesπ€‘
Taiwan does not "generally" have a stance against reunification, some independence parties are a bit more popular than they used to be, but them becoming a legally independent state requires vast constitutional and international changes no government has even begun to implement
