It's crazy how many times obama pushed the kill button.

A lot of communists like W.E.B. Dubois dedicated a good amount of research to the 2nd phase of reconstruction after the US civil war, often called the counter-revolutionary phase, where a lot of the gains of the civil war were lost.

Their belief is that slavery was allowed to be reinstituted in a limited form in the south (mainly in prisons), black leaders removed from their posts and replaced by confederates, white terrorist orgs like the KKK reformed and turned a blind eye to, and the harsh enforcement of miscegenation laws (many of which only got repealed in the 1960s).

That campaign of terror is what drove black mass migration out of the south and into the US west coast, and north throughout the 20th century.

Obviously the US hasn't really changed that policy, and still lets the south have slavery in limited forms.

The books black reconstruction, and michelle alexander's the new jim crow are great ones abt this.

Yes, look up what per capita means.

Spell check? If you mean smartphone keyboards, then yes, the non-foss ones are keyloggers. One of my side-projects is a privacy-oriented keyboard, but there are many out there that don't require network calls to google or apple.

Haha we need one.

Please report those comments also, so we can remove them.

This is completely wrong.

Most platforms (especially reddit, instagram, twitter) moved ads from ad-dedicated spaces, to authentic-seeming posts, that are actually ads.

This is the same Meredith Whittaker doing interviews with US defense-department aligned sites like LawFare.

Why are all these big tech sites like wired so interested in pushing signal anyway?

Does the EFF have access to signal's server? Where they store all the phone numbers and messages for its users?

Some greatest briton classics. Clear he would've been a redditor:

Many from here: https://crimesofbritain.com/the-crimes-of-winston-churchill/

• "It is, thank heaven, difficult if not impossible for the modern European to fully appreciate the force which fanaticism exercises among an ignorant, warlike and Oriental population. Several generations have elapsed since the nations of the West have drawn the sword in religious controversy, and the evil memories of the gloomy past have soon faded in the strong, clear light of Rationalism and human sympathy. Indeed it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men's passions, and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination."
• "I think we shall have to take the Chinese in hand and regulate them. I believe that as civilized nations become more powerful they will get more ruthless, and the time will come when the world will impatiently bear the existence of great barbaric nations who may at any time arm themselves and menace civilized nations. I believe in the ultimate partition of China — I mean ultimate. I hope we shall not have to do it in our day. The Aryan stock is bound to triumph."
• "I propose that 100,000 degenerate Britons should be forcibly sterilized and others put in labour camps to halt the decline of the British race."
• "I think a curse should rest on me — because I love this war. I know it's smashing and shattering the lives of thousands every moment — and yet — I can't help it — I enjoy every second of it."
• "One might as well legalise sodomy as recognise the Bolsheviks."
• "I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes."
• "There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution, by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews, it is certainly a very great one; it probably outweighs all others."
• "One may dislike Hitler's system and yet admire his patriotic achievement. If our country were defeated, I hope we should find a champion as indomitable to restore our courage and lead us back to our place among the nations."
• "I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."
• "I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion."

The only US administration who has talked about using nukes in a casual way is Trump's. As to accusations of genocidal tendencies, neither nation has a clean record.

The US is the only country to have nuked civilians, multiple times. Japan, and they also nuked a few islands in the pacific to test the fallout effects on nearby islanders.
